Just a piece though. After work, I tried to catch "Mamma Mia" or some other play on Toronto's entertainment district. Unfortunately, there were no more "cheap" tickets available for that night. Since I was already on King Street that time, I tried going to the Mountain Coop store, and boy was I surprised! A big, big store with lots and lots of outdoor equipments, tents, shoes, jackets, clothes, canoes, bags, tekpaks, hydration packs, etc! It was a two-floor affair, and I was quite excited to see all the stuff that's available. (see pics here). Suddenly, I was in love with Toronto! Haha. Unfortunately, excited as I was, I also realized I couldn't afford to buy anything there! The dri-fit like clothes still would cost around 1k pesos, same as if I bought a Nike shirt in Manila. The backpacks would cost roughly the same as one made in Manila. The only thing I really could buy, should cost less than $20...which narrowed it down to nalgene bottles and dri-fit underwear. Haha.
But...there was this really cute pink flowery Nalgene bottle. I wasn't able to buy something that time, since when I got to the store, it was almost closing time, and it turns out I had to pay a $5 one-time coop membership fee before I can buy anything. Maybe I'll head back there next week... :)
P.S. -- on the way home, I passed by a Swiss Chalet restaurant, and I remembered my officemate Carla mentioning to me that it had great tasting chicken. So I entered the resto, but I was all by myself, and well, the place just didn't seem to be a good place to dine alone. There was a line waiting for seating, and everyone had friends or family with them. Parang sobrang loser pag ako lang...either that or I'm trying to pick up somebody. Haha.
