[If you can't be friendly, stay home]
Gasp! I haven't been posting! ......Gasp!!
So.. what's been happening over here in Vancouver. Well.. Canada day kinda just came and went. Didn't really do anything spectacular. I worked the day before which was pretty fun I suppose. Been chilling with the Bno. We made curry puffs and honey dew sago. Surprise surprise. =) I thought my crust was gonna be bad coz for some reason it wouldn't fold properly and was crumbly. But when they came out of the oven.. o em jee, just melts in my mouth. So good.
We were originally gonna go down to Granville to check out this photo store, Beau Photo coz I wanted to get my Supersampler. But it was uber hot and we missed 2 buses because they were full. We decided it wasn't worth it since it was already 2.
This is me. Lost
"If you can't be friendly, stay home"
So today I decided to get my camera. I'm getting pretty good at this transit and directions thing. Wonder if I'll be any good driving. Google earth!!!! So yea. I bussed and trained. And bussed.. then found out I missed my stop and was on my way to UBC so I had to get off and go back the other way. There are SO many things out there. Ever since we came to Vancouver, we decided that it's a very pretty country. We love the weather and basically it's quiet. I guess it can be pretty quiet around where we live. Especially in the Winter. But there's actually SO much going on. There are so many shop out there. So many things to see. So many interesting people on the train. One lady kept talking about her experience in the army.. or military.. or some sort of rehabilitation centre. I'm not even sure. It sounded like she was all into the drugs and smoking and drinking when she was younger then she found help and became a police officer of some sort. She talked about how we're all in this together. All that stuff. I basically had a motivational talk on the ride from Surrey to Broadway.
Foundz it!
So yea. I got lost. But I found the place eventually! I'm glad I checked out their website to see what it actually looks like from outside. Or else I probably would never have found it. It's on West 6 Avenue. I found West 10, West 5 and took a bus and found West 7. Then I realized.. it was in between! I don't know how I missed Granville. And I don't know how I missed West 6. But yea, I found it eventually. It's such a strange little shop. It kinda looks like an office on the inside. There are people in their little.. areas typing away on their puters. I found the Lomo section and GAHH, excitedness!!!!! So many pretty cameras around!! Jmerz happy. They're a lot smaller than I thought they were. It's perfect though coz that's what I wanted. I just thought they were bigger. They look big in pictures I guess. Hehehe. So I got my camera which made me happy.
New baby. That's where my carbon tax money went. Jk jk!! I'll do something to help the environment! I AM growing plants now!!
Our old/new bowling crew
Also today, (Wednesday) bowling again! Wednesday has become our bowling day. It's all you can bowl, as many people as you want for 20$, shoe rentals included, for 3 hours. Which is pretty good. We manage to get quite a few games in there. My high score for today was 120. Brandon's was 177.
