BLUE MONTREAL

I like Montreal under the snow , everything looks so magical. These pictures were taken at McGill university. I just love the view of the city that you get from there. And strangely due to the weather everything looked kind of blue , the building s, the streets, the snow...It was really a pretty day.
I took these pictures while I was waiting at the bus station . The metro is definitely a big part of peoples life in Montreal , especially in the winter to escape the cold.
And those last two are a my little breakfast ^^ I had big cravings for hot and warm croissants and a good cup of tea :)

Anyway, lately it has been raining and snowing a lot, so there is not much opportunity to take pictures, plus I have so many take-home exams to hand-in but somehow I always end-up procrastinating some of them..I guess the weather makes me lazy :P
I feel like there is so much to do in such a little amount of time, in 4 weeks I will have my final exams. I can't imagine how this semester flew quickly. But in someway I am relief that I will be done with my degree. I am really looking forward to the summer and Africa..I miss the sea a lot ^^ And hopefully take a lot of pictures too

I hope you are having a great week-end too?

This is the first time I've been to blog and I must say I love your photos! Great work! I love travelling too and Japan is at the top of my list to visit. Ever been to Malaysia? Must make a trip there, it's a gorgeous place. And the food is terrific! Then again I'm Malaysian so I'm slightly biased haha ;)

I usually despise anything snow covered (due to my recent New York move from Florida), but this is absolutely gorgeous! Good luck with your finals, I know the feeling, although I only have midterms coming up!
Have a great day!

Thank you for your comment on my body image post. Couldn't agree with you more! I am so happy for you that you found a great guy who doesn't pressure you to look a certain way - that is becoming a rare thing these days, sadly. But that is just what a real man should be like! Keep him close!
