It's been awhile since I've posted pics taken on my film camera (old Pentax K1000). TBH, it's taken me awhile to finish this black and white roll and just recently got them developed.

Last year, my eldest had his Grade 8 graduation ceremony . Well, it's that time of the year again....this time my middle child.

We haven't won anything since the Blue Jays won back to back in 1992 and 1993. Fun Fact: My older sister and I were at the championship parade in 1992! I don't remember much of it, except I do remember taking the subway home:P As a tribute to the win, I decided to get this hat:D I didn't really feel like making all the effort to buy the Championship one (sold out everywhere except for two stores downtown so you have to order online and wait), so I just bought this one that my eldest son picked out. (Man...the prices of these officially licensed products are just insane!!!!) Another fun fact : The Raptors used to practice at my alma mater when I was there (Glendon Campus of York University) and I remember going to the athletic house hoping to catch a glimpse of them practicing.

It's so super limited that there's only one for sale of the bag I'm using below (named Hannah), and two of the other print (named Emma).
