This past weekend I took a quick getaway with my best friend to London, On. I know it doesn't really sound all that special especially if you're from Southern Ontario, but it was rather quite exciting. We went to London to see the queen herself, Selena Gomez, live at her Revival Concert. She is beyond perfection, but we'll get to that later.
Day 1
Her concert was on Victoria Day so we went the day before to hang out and explore the city a bit. However, little did we both know that we had other obligations during the day, so we didn't leave for London till about 6pm. It was a quick drive and before we knew it, we were already at our hotel.
We checked in and relaxed till we decided to out for dinner. We went to a restaurant called Symposium

The downtown was cute. It was obviously bigger than Windsor's and nicer, but not as hype as people make it sound. I mean people always say Ontario ends at London, and Windsor doesn't even exist but truth be told, I like Windsor a tad more. Windsor is overshadowed but it really is cooler. Anyway, we went to Victoria Park, walked around and found some cool street art and just enjoyed the city. After walking around for about 3 hours, we decided to head back to the hotel to get ready and empty my phone of all the pictures we took.
Once we got back to the hotel, I went to go wipe my makeup off and realized that I had burnt my entire face, including my eyelids! I suffered and lowkey cried in misery which made the "getting ready" part quite hard. The concert started at 7pm and we wanted to be there by 6pm-ish so we could find parking, but we halfway downtown at about 6:43pm which gave me anxity. I hate parking and parallel parking is a skill that I don't have because I never have to use it. We got stuck in traffic and I ended up circling around the theatre going in and out of parking lots till finally I found a parking garage that wasn't

The concert was amazing. Her outfits, the stage, her voice, just everything. Even when she just talked to the crowd it was like an angel speaking. I know it sounds overdramatic but I fangirl everytime I think about her. She's just so beautiful. The concert was packed with her hits from her album Revival, but she also sang some of her old songs like "Slow Down" and "Love You Like a Love Song". She also sang a new single that is yet to be released "Feel Me" which is totally going to be another hit. Overall the concert was amazing and I'm so glad I decided to go. I've loved her for so long and to see her live was
Saturday we were at Dad & Kay's at 11am. We had a nice lunch and a good visit with them, great to see them again. Sunday, storms were moving through in the morning, so we waited to check out till noon, our time. We had a good lunch at a place called Harvey's and a stop by Elvis's birthplace in Tupelo. Later, at a rest stop in Paris TN, evening was coming on and cooler, so top down till we stopped at the Kentucky Dam Village State Park for supper in the lodge overlooking the lake. After that, we were really getting tired, decided not to drive on home, it was near 9pm then, so we stayed the night in Eddyville, KY. We are glad to be back home in the hills of beautiful southern Indiana! Southern Indiana is just as pretty as western KY & TN
When a typical person considers taking a vacation, they do not immediately consider Windsor, but the city has plenty to offer such as the WFCU Centre, Canadian Historical Aircraft Museum, and Ojibway Nature Centre. The WFCU Centre hosts fantastic entertainment acts and it also feature sports, music, and comedy performances; some acts that have performed at the centre include: Jerry Seinfeld, Neil Young, and the Windsor Spitfires. Not only does the city provide wonderful entertainment, Windsor is home to the Canadian Historical Aircraft Museum. One of the projects the members of the museum are working on is the restoration of two airplanes: a vintage Lancaster Bomber and Mosquito. Furthermore, pilots fly other antique aircraft and there is
Once we got there, we went and found our two other close friends, Allie and Hayden, that are also on our softball team. While my mom was checking into our room, the four of us went and checked out the hotel. We didn't know our other teammates were at the hotel yet, so as soon as my mom got checked in we went up to our room and hung out.
Few days after my 8th birthday, my family and I left our home in India and began a new life in Canada. It was not long before, I became aware of how different I was from the other children at school. Not just aesthetically but even our thoughts were different. Steadily, I became isolated and lowered my self-esteemed. At recess one day, the clear skies suddenly changed in the dark clouds with chilling wind. I was shivering in the cold, when one of girls from my class wrapped me inside of her jacket. She was smiling and at me and hugged me and said, “warm”. Soon other kids hugged us and we formed a small huddle. Although they did not know me, they understood the gestures of hugging to provide warmth. Jessica, the girl with the jacket, and
It is summer and of course that means its concert season. Every girl wants to get dressed up in her cowboy boots and jean shorts, sit back with friends and listen to some great music. It was the middle of August and I had not been to a concert yet this summer. I was getting so upset, I needed a memory in my back pocket for this summer. I go online and search for fun things to do, I noticed that The Zac Brown band was coming to the Mid Credit Amphitheater in September. I got so happy I decided to text my best friend Krissy in all caps, saying “GIRL ZAC BROWN IS COMING TO FLORIDA AND WE ARE GOING!” After .2 seconds later,
What I liked most about the event was being able to sing every line of every song she sung. I have been a dedicated fan since I was an eighth grader in elementary school. It was great being able to see one of my favorite artists after all these years. So many childhood memories appeared in my head when she started singing all of her old songs. The happiness I felt in my heart from that show allowed me to forget my academic struggles for that night. Within my college career, this is definitely one of my favorite
Charles Hotel to eat breakfast but were sadly disappointed by getting nothing fit to eat but bread & butter after that I went out to see the sights around town and I found it a perfect dirty stinking hole, I never was so sick of any place in my life as I was of it at noon I eat a pretty hearty dinner and then went aboard the

The lyricists here are talking about connecting with home. In order to connect with home, you have to find it. And I have found a home in the City of Hamilton. Although I wasn’t born in Hamilton like many of my peers, I have established ties and relationships with the City and her citizens. For this reason, I would like to be the Mayor of the City of Hamilton for Civic Day.
My sister`s name is Eliana. We are at the same age .we both are seven year old. We are friends from our church in Toronto. She moved to Australia four years ago. We sometimes talked on the phone, sending cards, or sending gifts to each other. On June 2017, she came to Toronto to visit. My mom and I went to Toronto to visit her. My mom bought two tickets from Ontario North land. We had two suitcases. One for me and one for my mom. IN my suitcase I had my clothes, tooth brush, shoes, towels and another personal stuff. We ride on the bus. Before we arrive in Toronto, bus passed by five towns in the north of Ontario. Last stop was York dale mall in Toronto. We got off the bus and got on the train. When we were in the shopping mall I bought gifts
Honestly I felt like I was going to puke So we went to go sit on the monster truck they had. we chilled there for a while, which isn't ideal, but yet again its more favorable than puking. Whilst on this monster truck we had a perfect view of one of the stages so we watched motionless in white from afar. So motionless in white is a pretty well known band so there were a lot of people there, so many people, and whilst I wasn't in the crowd it was amazing. I got to listen to their music while listening to all these people cheering for one single band. And it’s wild. Like when you're in the crowd you feel like you're a part of something, like you're surrounded by strangers, but you're all here for one single reason and you don't really think about it until afterwards. But watching a concert from afar is so amazing too, the lead singer dude asked everyone to to put up the horns \m/ and its not really that deep and I don't even listen to Motionless in White, but seeing so many people with their arms up putting up the horns was so amazing because in that moment I realized how many people came to this one parking lot just to listen to music and have fun and let loose and everyone there has some sort of common interest, even though every single person is completely different. and the people there in general were so amazing, even if I only spoke to a few. And I might just be making a
The days preceding the concert we spent at a Greek restaurant, city-walk, and a beach...
On the first night, we went out to the karaoke bar where we met the first group of interesting people on our trip. The bar was relatively small, probably a little smaller than the size of a tennis court with a couple pool tables and dining tables on one side, a dance floor on the other, and the bar ran along the back wall. We met a couple of
Christina and I met at 9 am at the lobby so we started having and
Thursday, we all woke up really early to travel to the Royal Palace of Henry VIII. Our tour guide Heather, gave us the entire tour of the place. My favorite part of the tour was the clock due to the fact it was a 24 hour clock telling which day, month, and season it is. After the tour, we had two hours of free time and most of us wanted to see Henry VIII toilet and all I can say is that toilets during that time was different than the ones now. When we all saw the toilet, all the frat boys decided to go to the maze and we all race find the exit, which took us three times longer since we passed by it three time. At the end, we all admit that Ryan Straub-Fisher beat all of us. Following a morning run, I decided to chow down on my first Fish & Chips which the fish was so tender and the batter was cooked spot on. After lunch, we were taken on a long bus journey to Holbrook house where we are all going to stay for two nights. Tour guide Heather gave us an etiquette dinner lesson, so they next time I dine with British people, I know what to expect. During dinner we decided to dress up nicely and that dinner was a fabulous start to my weekend. After a wonderful selection of Canapes and an Amuse Bouche, Our appetizer was a Wild Mushroom Veloute with
