CXX : Seventh Year

My mom told me that people change every after 7 years. And by change, thats not a mere physical change. Spiritually we do too, we change souls, thus explaining a sudden change in an individuals personality. If it was the case then Ive changed my soul for the third time.. Lets see.. I still cant tolerate the smell of strong coffee and Im still as indecisive as before. blah blah blah

Im random like this.. 

These were taken the day I went to Capilano Bridge... again! Cant get enough of this place. Seriously I need to bring a photo buddy next time!

Really.. I need a friend, someone who like taking pictures and travelling, any volunteer?

PS: Im weird and I like taking pictures of myself. this is my attempt on doing a sexy.ish pose. and obviously I fail. My chubby cheeks and fat legs arent really suited for "sexy" sigh' thank you food. thank you work.

   

CXVII : Tanned

I don't know why I chose to wear orange.. I have always looked weird in orange and or in green

Anyway maybe about three weeks ago Mom took us to the beach.. I also bought a new camera lens for I find it hard to take pictures with the 50mm that i originally have.. So yeah I have this huge bag for my DSLR and another one for my instant camera and another one for the tripod. Geez such a photographer wanna be. I was expecting to take a lot of pictures but but the beach / water look soooooooo empty..its just ugh water, seaweed, more seaweed

IDK I probably was just used to the beautiful white sanded beaches in the tropical island of the Philippines. But nonetheless I enjoyed looking at the big houses around~ One day I say...

While Jessica was setting up the tripod... a man came and since Jessica and her tripod was on the way the guy was waiting at the side... 

*moves stuffs*

Me : You can go ^^

Stranger : Thank you. Anyeong Haseyo

Me : *wondering if I heard it right* ????

Stranger : Youre Korean right? Anyeong Haseyo

Me : Oh sorry, Im not Korean but Anyeong Haseyo to you too~

And.. I always just gotta take a picture of a stranger or something~~

its a little blurry but that was a picture of someone trying to fly a kite..

   

CXIV : Gluttony and Girl Talks

My definition of a friend is too... profound? or so what somebody told me. This pretty lady beside me is named Chiui (visit her blog -click- ) and I met her maybe over a year ago when she left a comment on my blog.

First meeting, 2nd meeting, 3rd meeting and then this... 

That week I surprisingly had 5 days straight without work so I texted Chiui if she wanted to hang out. 

Moving on.. Original plan was to do a cruise around Vancouver but unfortunately, it was raining that day so we had to change plans.. Chiui and I met up at Landsowne. 

It was my first time around the area, I was quite surprised by how many restaurants there were on Alexandra Road. So.. Chiui wanted Korean food.. according to her.. there's two Korean restaurants in the area. One looks expensive and the other place was "cute" as described by her friend. She haven't tried any of the two yet..

Anyhoo it turned out that the expensive restaurant she was talking about was Jang Mo Jib. Ive been to their Vancouver -Robson St branch a couple of times but I cant be sure about the prices. And since Ive tried it already and we were curious about what that "cute" meant.. we decided to go to the other restaurant which was called Haroo.

The restaurant was kind of hidden, I think. I really like the atmosphere inside the restaurant! The mismatched tables and chairs.. it just gives you that welcoming aura, the feeling of being at home. Service wasnt as formal too and the owner/waiter was even wearing a floral apron and you could see him making kimchi on the back whenever he's not serving or taking orders, which I think was cool.

We both got something from the lunch special. I dont really remember how much it was but it was pretty cheap compared to other restaurants. I got the jajangmyeon with ganjang tteokbokki which I enjoyed the most!!  Chiui had the Bulgogi fried rice thingy? The jajangmyeon tastes different than what I had before and I dont know which is more authentic. 

After the meal.. we were looking for a cafe for tea and possibly dessert but neither of us had cash (and most of the restaurants here only takes cash - so if you're planning to go don't forget cash!!) We ended up going to Well Tea and had bubble tea (that I dont have a picture of). 

Funny part is.. there was this store nearby w/c was called superbored. The windows were tinted and there were two businessmen-looking guys outside. Chiui and I came up with these weird and dirty thoughts.

Scenario : Guy 1 was "superbored" and was looking for "something" to do.. Guy 2 was asking Guy 1 his type of girl.. cause you know ;) special service.. 

We were so curious so we went inside the store and was surprised to see that this was actually a clothing store. Imagine our faces when we got inside :)) hahaha so dirty minded LOL. 

After a long chat over bubble tea.. We decided to go to Richmond Centre, I got some stuffs from Fruits and Passion, Chiui got an earphone. We went to F21 but we got frustrated and just walked out :P

We then went to White Spot for our late dessert... 

We both had this trio thingy of desserts. I liked the apple pie the most!!! we also had a strawberry mojito which tastes sooooo gross.. eek

And of course, whats a day with a girl friend without taking pictures?

CV: Stamp Collecting

A few weeks ago me and some co-workers went out to do the tourism Challenge. I actually finished mine the week before but since it was my day off I decided to come with them.

So we met at the Canada Place where we were supposed to take the Hop On-Hop Off Buses but all the buses were full so we ended up taking the shuttle to the Capilano Suspension Bridge..

with Bryan and Jean

I didnt bring a camera so most of the pics are stolen from Jean and Joshua or taken through my phone

The last time I went here there was only 5 people in that bridge but look how many there are today..

We went back to Downtown for lunch at a Japanese Restaurant somewhere in Robson.. I told you I became really picky with food after Culinary school.. so I didnt really enjoyed the food. ><

with Bryan and the really bland Miso soup

We then went to Fairmont Pacific Rim (work) to meet up with Joshua and get a stamp from the Cafe. 

Then we went to Gastown and rode one of those Tour buses

We got off somewhere near Granville Island and rode a ferry to Vanier Park..

while waiting for the ferry

Yarin (Jean's son) and one of the displays at the Vancouver Maritime Museum

Posing with the displays at the Museum of Vancouver .. dont tell anyone I went up

and Bryan did a better job XD

We then rode the trolley to Chinatown --- Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden and walked all the way to the Vancouver Lookout to get their final stamp and our Tourism challenge ID.

And here's a random sel-ca~~ hehe IDK what you call these mirrors but I love em.. instant fisheye effect!
