Cranberry Festival 2013

I really enjoy day trips to Fort Langley. If it was only that convenient I would rather choose to live here than in Vancouver. On one of our visits to the Fort Langley National Historic, I saw this poster about the Cranberry Festival. Since I've always wanted to go to events and escape monotony, I dragged Jewon with me.

For a small town, it was surprising how much people drove out for the event. Farmers Market is another thing I like about BC. Although I must admit that I hate crowds, I do enjoy people-watching from the distance. And looking through the booths and random items is something that interests me. Of course its a great time to sample different kinds of food as well right? (I think I ate the most mini donuts Ive ever had in my life!! mmm soooo good) And for the first time! I drank an apple cider!

   

CXXVII : Craving for yakiniku right now!

One of the rare times when I use my DSLR... and like usual these photos were from 3 months ago when I went to Gyu Kaku to take advantage of the Dine Out Event in Vancouver.

Yakiniku!!! omnomnom

btw I had a huge bowl of Ramen that day too haha!

more from my phone....

bad idea to look at food pics at 3:30am :/

   

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..

   

CXVI : Gelato and Boredom

Two things that don't go well together..

Those who had been following me on instagram must have seen this picture a looooong time ago. Told you I have been procrastinating. Hmm I kind of did a mini photoshoot months ago after cleaning my room. I have tons of clothes that I dont even use including this romper so I was thinking of having a blog sale.. should I? 

Changing the topic.. 

The winner of the 2012 Florence Italy Gelato Festival.. both Technical Jury and Peoples Choice first placer is just outside below LOL i dont even know how to describe it. Theres always a loooooooooooooong line here so I felt bad for people waiting if I was going to take pictures...

this is probably my uhm.. tenth time at Bella Gelateria so I already know what I want.. Yuzu Sorbet and the Sea Salt Caramel.. bliss~ 

And you know.. something cool had happened.. James Coleridge aka Vancouver's father of Gelato and owner of the said store, the one who won on that Gelato festival competition.. Introduced himself and even asked for my name..

It happened last Saturday? or was it Friday? .. anyways they were defrosting their freezers and as neighbours, we shared our freezer with them (in case you werent aware I work in the Pastry department of a hotel) so yeah I was working when James (or should it be Chef James?) came to take his gelato back. This wasnt the first time though, they already borrowed our freezers a couple of times but Im too shy to start a conversation. He would just smile at me and say thank you but that day after the usual thank you.. he introduced himself and asked for my name @__@ waaa... then I learned about how one of my favorite gelato flavor would be his next entry for an upcoming gelato competition this September. He even told me to come over to have a taste...

sooo cool.. but I still feel so shy~ Do I go like, Hi James do you remember me? Im here to collect my ice cream.. hahaha! that sounds sooo weird

and see more of my weirdness.. most of the times i would take random pictures, without looking at the screen, shots from the hip (lomography rule #4) ;) 

see the tip of my purple running shoes? ^^
