It’s always nice to have a cup of coffee when it’s freezing cold outside.
But it’s a lot better if you have a small coffee bun too!
One cold and rainy day, me, my brother and my friend Rika headed to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver to try this small cafe selling Coffee Buns that Rika really liked.
Hi everyone. So how was the holiday? Mine has been pretty busy and eventful. I spent most of my time working, eating and moving things around. We moved to a new place a bit closer to work. It’s been very tiring, moving and all, but thank god we’re done. I haven’t had any decent internet for more than a week hence the absence.
Anyway, on New Years Day, after all the hard work we’ve done in moving, my family decided to celebrate through a buffet lunch at a nearby hotel.
I gave myself an early Christmas gift! If you’re my friend on Facebook or if you follow me on Twitter, you would usually see me complain about my Blackberry Curve. The phone is just plain annoying. It freezes, it’s very slow and it’s boring. I’ve always liked Blackberry because of its unique features and its usefulness. But then it started lagging behind its rivals.
Eto na siguro yung magiging last post ko about bakasyon at travels for now. Wala na akong bakasyon. Kailangan ko na ulit mag-ipon para makalipad kung saan.
So anyway, this will be the last part of my trip to Toronto a couple of months ago. Let me take you to a trip to downtown Toronto at night.
Toronto really reminds me of Manila. Or Makati for that matter. Napakagulo, maingay at masikip din. Kapag umuulan, uulan sya ng bonggang bongga. Nung makakita ako ng bus stop, natawa ako kasi may glass wall yung harapan. Sa likod yung door. So pag dumating yung bus, sa likod ka pa dadaan. But when it rained, I understood kung bakit ganun ka-weird ang bus stop nila. Kasi kapag umuulan, bumabaha. At kapag bumabaha, may chance na matalsikan ng tubig ang mga kawawang naghihintay sa bus stop. Smart!
On our last night in Toronto, my uncles toured us to the famous districts. Nakakatuwa dito, may Entertainment District, Financial District, etc. Segregated masyado.
Last summer, my mom’s friends invited us on a roadtrip to Lillooet, British Columbia. My mom’s friends Frank and Chrissie, an old couple living in the suburbs wanted to revisit the historical route along the Fraser Canyon. Nung medyo bata pa sila, Frank was a trucker. He transported goods from Vancouver to the far-flung areas in BC. The route cuts through the Rocky Mountains that’s why roads there used to be very dangerous to drivers. Now after 30 years, the roads have changed and we had a chance to experience the ruggedness of Western North America.
