Never thought I'd be capable of smiling after a really long day (though my unkempt hair is a giveaway, hehe). Actually, it wasn't so bad, it's just that I was feeling a bit under the weather but I felt compelled to go since the sun was out and the day was too beautiful day to be wasted inside my apartment. I had brunch with *J, *A and her bf *V in St. Kilda. The place, Vibe Bar&Cafe, was really nice, cozy, and most importantly served good food. After that sumptuous brunch (I had openfaced omelette with smoked salmon), we went for a walk along Ackland Street and saw a lot of interesting shops. There were shops selling clothes, leather goods, gelatti, novelty items, and my fave of all...CAKES!!! Just the sight of those lovely cakes was enough to make my heart soar. I intend to make a return trip there if only for the cake shops. I know people are going to tell me, "And I thought you are dying to lose weight?" Well, I'll just take pictures. Hahahaha...Goodness! I am just into my third week here in Melbourne and I am really having a great time. I know since I feel like I've been here forever. I am actually rediscovering myself, since I kinda lost it in the past couple of months. Anyway, after the shops, we headed for a walk to the beach and it was lovely. I breathe in as much fresh air as I could. It was actually really nice to get to these parts of Melbourne since it isn't frequent that I see a lot of people in the streets. The feel is so much different when you are in the city. But that's not to say that there isn't anything to see in the city. After St. Kilda, we went to Federation Square which has a lot of interesting architecture and this bar called T has an in-house performer who sounded like Rob Thomas. It was the first time in a while that I actually heard good music other than what was in my iPod. Then off we went to Crowne. So there...it wasn't so bad was it? To think that I just actually planned on spending the day indoors. Today, the great outdoors prevailed. And I am glad it did.
