Ode to Taylor

I am no fan of Taylor Swift, but I don’t *completely* hate her work either. She’s done good work, worked her way up to get to where she is today – and at such a young age too. What’s not to admire?

Well, perhaps her music, which can make you want to scratch your eyeballs out sometimes. Unless, perhaps, you’re into teen pop.

So if you feel like killing yourself from hearing too much Taylor Swift on the radio, I hereby present to you some smart aleck’s analysis of Taylor Swift’s life’s work (thus far). Might make you feel better!

Made me laugh. You can’t help but agree.

If you don’t know who Taylor Swift is, here’s a video to whet your appetite for teen pop:

Photoshop kicks it up a notch

This is INSANE. SERIOUSLY. Just watch. No need to keep calm though. I didn’t.

I’m still finding it hard to believe. Viral or not? Tell us in your comments!

Best Scone On Earth

I don’t care what people say, but this has got to be the

best scone I’ve ever eaten in my entire life!

Where you say? In Bath, UK. Their hand-made scones are deviously armed with clotted cream and jam and have the ability to kill you and bring you to tastebud heaven. Resistance is futile as soon as you peel through the warm golden crust to reveal its soft fluffy centre. You’d slowly render yourself powerless as the taste of freshly baked scones rushes through your senses like a gushing river. And then you wonder, “Am I dead? Am I alive? Who cares, again! AGAIN!”

Personally, after paying 5 quid for this afternoon tea set (tea of your choice and BEST SCONE EVER), I finally realised why the English rave about scones and tea all throughout history. I am now a convert.

The place is called Hands of Bath Tea Room and can be found at:

Japa, what?

Japadogs. What is this you might ask? Well.. it’s hot dogs, Japanese-style. What started off as a small kiosk on the corner of a busy intersection in downtown, Vancouver, has become quite a phenomenon. Although they’re running street stands at the moment, they will be opening their first official store soon! Food lovers, this is a stop you’ll just have to make. It has become one of my favorite street foods over the years, and those who have tried it will definitely understand why.

The queue might be long at times, but hey.. good food is always worth the wait, right? After all.. who could resist the tender, juicy Kurobuta pork sausage loaded with fried onions, Japanese mayo, and nori shreds? Oh, and not forgetting the teriyaki sauce.

If Steven Seagal and Rapper Icecube has made Japadogs their choice of lunch when they’re in town, I think that says quite a lot. Not forgetting the staff of these Japadog stands. Honestly, they’re some of the friendliest and down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. So what are you waiting for? If you’re ever in Vancouver, make sure to check this food joint out, for it will definitely not disappoint!
