Caffeine bubble dreams

Every year I say to myself - "Hey I should really go to.." (insert annual city event here). This year I made the commitment to check out the Roncesvalles Polish Festival and dragged down some friends to join in the fun.

After successful parking on a cramped one way street we unloaded onto Roncesvalles for a day of sunshine, pierogi (THAT is how to spell it) and $6 Polish beer.



Love introducing friends to Polish treats such as ponczki and rurki z bita smietana. Describing the rurki as a waffle tube filled with whipped cream deliciousness was effective.



Nom nom!

We saw an Aussie street performer entertaining a decently-sized crowd so we stopped. He climbed up on top of a large pole and demanded to be called a pygmy genie. Then asked to write complaints on $5 and $10 bills. Sweet.



Another lovely day in the city<3

So two weeks ago I got a sweet little orange kitten (who now terrorizes my toes and shoes). I figure in this day and age everything you experience in life, you must share with others via the Internet. Therefore, I would like to introduce Theodore to the interwebs.


Name: Theodore (nicknames Theo, Pancakes, or Cattus Interruptus)
Birthday: July 1, 2011
Breed: Orange tabby
Likes: boxes, bags, shoes, toes, fingers, rolling highlighters across the floor and losing them under the door
Dislikes: the scary outdoors, water, vacuum cleaner

Theo has already displayed a keen interest in social media and therefore it is only natural for him to get his own blog post. :) I'm also 'training' to appreciate boxes to the full extent, think Maru and you will understand my joy.


This is my first ever kitty so we are learning together. I must say I have a new appreciation for motherhood, especially the first night when he literally meowed all night and nothing would appease him. He's like a furry little meowing child. Happy to say that ended quickly. However, now he sleeps on my head.

And if you're not a cat person - you should be! Let the Oatmeal tell you why cats are awesome.

Until next time.. meow meow.

So I've realized that I have abandoned my blog for quite a while and I have the best intentions to revive it and revamp it. The revamping is already a working progress with a new layout, now it's the content to ponder. There are more changes to come.

Stay tuned!

Humber PR is moving into the future!

A big thanks to Jenna and Zack for running Humber PR 2C's Future Camp. It really gave us a chance to strengthen our current connections with our peers and develop ways to keep them strong for the future.

Plus, it's another great excuse to hang out with the most awesome people ever!

The focus was on our future in PR. Where we want to work? What our passions are? We also created a digital time capsule (pink boas anyone) and added to the Google Doc shuffle where we could write why our colleagues were so awesome.


I hope we can stay connected over the years. And in the social media world it's easy to do so. We also vow to have bi-monthly activities for face-to-face time, in I'm going to say it HumberPR, I'm going to miss your face.

What would our world be like without tigers?

Survivor's 1982 hit Eye Of The Tiger would have never become the theme to Rocky, nor topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for six straight weeks upon its release. Without tigers, the song would be Eye of the, which is significantly less powerful.

Without tigers, who would grace the box of one of my favourite cereal boxes, Frosted Flakes? Tony the Tiger is what made this cereal Grrr-eat, and without him Frosted Flakes is just another corn flake cereal. Tony the Tiger is a cereal icon.


Tigers have become our lovable sports team mascots. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats wouldn't have the same team spirit without these magnificent cats. Without tigers, they wouldn't even be able to call themselves Tiger-Cats, it would just be Cats, which doesn't have the same edge in football.


And who can forget the bouncy, lovable Tigger from Winnie the Pooh? Children would never hear all the wonderful things about tiggers, er tigers. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too, would be just Winnie the Pooh. I'm pretty sure he'd be lonely.


Without tigers, the world would be a different place. So as much as we feel protecting our tigers doesn't involve us, it does, because tigers are a part of us in one way or another.

I don't want future generations to live without tigers. Do you?
