FIRST ONE TO THE FUTURE WINS

Back to life. Back to reality.

My most popular Instagram photo in the last few days. I love it. I took stereographic of the lake in Muskoka, other from my balcony using 360 for iPhone, taped together with Diptic app, and sent to Instagram.

I’ve been mostly active on Instagram, Pinterest & Tumblr for fun lately. I update them with all different stuff so follow along! My Pin boards are all neatly organized, Instagram is life photos, Tumblr is a mix of things I find pretty/funny/weird on the internet.

I love Internet. I love iPhone. I love life.

This also happened today! Crazy! Window cleaning dude scared the crap out of me.
Oh, yikes, a big bottle of Collingwood Whisky just arrived as a late birthday present. GOTTA GO!

SUMMER: @PepsiCanada taste challenge, #freebeer, patios!

20120518-102654.jpg

This is the big rig that will be travelling across the country seeing millions of people go through the Ultimate Pepsi Taste Challenge. It converts from a truck to a full on Pepsi station to hang out in. They call it “Poptimus Prime“.

This time last year I was hosting my own little Pepsi party for Pepsi Throwback. I’m sure you remember THIS:

The team has a whole bunch of stuff planned and there’s a good chance you’ll run into their young energetic group assembled with people from across Canada. This is a full 360 of what I saw at the media preview taken from iPhone.

You’ll notice they’re really using technology to make the ol’ taste test we knew as kid, super modern. Check out their Facebook/PepsiCanada for when & when to catch ‘Poptimus Prime’ and the @PepsiCanada team.

Hey look, Shannon was on the board as I was AT the challenge! TALK ABOUT SOCIAL!

In the afternoon I caught the Bud Light Mojito truck giving out free beers. Rumour has it they will be around MuchMusic all month and near King Spadina. Two drinks, perfect for afternoon stop in the park.

When you are on the go 25/8/366 you are likely to run out of iPhone battery. Bobcat from Boston sent me this rad charger for my birthday. Charge at home, keep in purse for on the go. It gives you about two hours talk time. Essential for beach party, park chilling and boat rides. Made by Brookstone.

Next stop was William’s Landing in Liberty Village for the launch of Somersby Cider by Carlsberg. This is the Carlsberg man John Porter. Cute accent!

Sat in the sun with the lovely Carla Catherwood and Cory Lee. I’m not much of a cider girl but surprisingly, it tastes like carbonated apple juice and I drank my samples that very night.

Boat. Sun. Lake.
Coffee, canoe, kayak.
Water sounds. Bacon smells.
Birds chirping. Blue skies.
Trees, talking in the distance.
Refreshing. Relaxed. Warm.

Happy Monday! Back to the city tonight, concrete jungle, castle in the sky. Make the most of the day, it’s beautiful out!

I’m absolutely in paradise. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you already know. Last night we roasted marshmallows on the dock and I fell asleep in my chair mesmerized by the lakeside fire.

Exciting week just passed and I am SO ready for a getaway! Tomorrow I’m scooting up north to the countryside with Barbie to a friends cottage. Give me nature, lake, silence and sunshine. YES PLEASE.

Ate pretty healthy this week and went running a few times. Feels good to hit the pavement.

Got a haircut at Darren’s Studio and had my first spring picnic in the park.

Discovered the spot where my next Dear Photograph submission will be taken from. Turns out Mum used to hang out exactly where I like to hang out now. Her photo is from the ’70’s I think. Mum, can you confirm? Check out the skyline, or lack there of!

Please be careful this weekend, wear sunscreen, don’t drink & drive, and play safe. May24 is the kick-off to summer, make it a good one! Next weekend is Memorial Day in the USA and I’ll be in the sunshine state soaking up Florida rays. Can’t wait!
