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.

   

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!

CI : In the Mountain with my 4" Heels

If you remember last year I did the Tourism challenge with my Mom and 2 of her friends [click] Well this year, I finally got to have my own passport and i kind of promised my boyfriend to take him with me. XD Luckily we both got Tuesday off. 

So basically we get this little booklet passport thingy with a list of participating attractions and hotels around BC. What we have to do is visit these attractions (sometimes they give out questions to answer) then youll get a stamp. For more info about the tourism challenge -- [click]

My boyfriend picked me up at around 12 noon, He couldn't get up any earlier as he finished work at 1:30am the previous day :/ . So anyhoo we drove all the way to Amato Gelato Cafe... to park LOL. Science World was just a few minute walk away and its also part of the Challenge so we decided to go there first.

I didn't get to take much pictures as I was having too much fun being a kid again :)) So after answering the questions and getting the stamp we head back to his car. Not really its his twin brother's car XD And since it's hard to go around Downtown with a car we decided to go North.

LI: Grouse Mountain

So heres the late post I owe you guys..

My mom took a vacation from her work
so last last Saturday
We went to North Vancouver's famous Grouse Mountain
*its a perfect skiing spot during the winter

Anyway.. you have two choices on how to get to the top
One~ If youre the adventurous outdoorsy type then maybe you'd like the Grouse Grind
I haven't tried it though but I know you'll have to hike all the way up
Dont ask me how long ~ no idea
but my mom wanted us to try this on Summer so we'll see..

And Two ~ if you're lazy like me. just take the Sky Ride and enjoy the majestic view
but if you have Acrophobia fear of heights I dont suggest you take the lift..

Moving on they have this Lumberjack Show going on when we got there
we were lucky for it was the last performance for this season.
It was very enjoyable and funny too ~ those two sure know how to crack up jokes hehe
Also ~ do you know that they were world famous lumberjacks.
Yup you heard it right~ they've won on some international competitions which I cant remember haha

My mom said during summers they have bird shows instead so we'll also see about that if ever we do go there for the summer..

Included is the chair lift to the peak of Grouse Mountain.
Again if you have fear of heights, dont ride it.. kay? teehee
According to the brochure it would rise you to an altitude of 4,100 feet.
Im glad I dont have fear of heights or else I wont be able to appreciate the view hehe..

On the peak is the Eye of the Wind ~ again according to the brochure
Its the Worlds first and only wind turbine that allows you to stand in a clear glass view pod.
you have to pay extra and book early if you want to try it

Also you could try the Zip line, Paragliding or a Helicopter Tour but you have to pay extra and book early to try these.

When we got down we spotted three wild grizzly bears hehe..

There are also two orphaned grizzlies but they were sleeping somewhere when we went to the habitat so we didnt get to meet them.

They also have wolves but we didnt went there.

They also have free theater shows, ranger talks and guided eco tours..

Thats all for Grouse Mountain..
Oh by the way they have a restaurant and a souvenir shop up there and you could dine on a deck which has a very lovely view..

You could check out the admission rates through there website here ~~
http://www.grousemountain.com

Near Grouse Mountain you could also find the Capilano hanging bridge
too bad it was closed by the time we got there so next time.. hehe

Uhm sorry about the change of format..
I was yeah feeling lazy to do an update so I just copied the pictures then type
Unlike before

Or do you prefer it this way?

Til next post ~~

Now Im off for my daily dose of the Taiwanese drama It Started with a Kiss
re-watching it haha~!
