28.04.11 little cupcakes!

One of the perks of working at a small elementary school is that the kids never forget to share their birthday desserts with the teachers, even if they aren't in your class!

Yesterday yielded me two yummy little cupcakes. Today, I got ice cream. What a delicious job.

26.04.11 the game 7 rainbow

I used the iPhone app called Photosynth to take this panoramic photo of a huge rainbow I saw today. It appeared after Alex Burrows scored the 1st goal of game 7. Magical.

19.04.11 dad's bday

This picture was taken by my little sister. It was a team effort, with my mom holding the cake, my dad pretending to blow the candle, and me pretending to be my twin, thanks to a picture I had of her on my iPhone. Who needs photoshop?
Good times.

15.04.11 Where am I?

I looked at this view every day I was heading home from school. It looked particularly nice last Friday. Maybe cuz it was the last day of my exams. Most likely.

03.28.11 starbucks coffee cups

Just to add to my growing collection of paper cup photos. It was just a matter of time before I had the double tailed mermaid as a subject. I thought since we ordered "grande" sized cups, it'd be cute to put the "miniaturizing" effect on them. It worked out ok. Also, the espresso hot chocolate drink they have still tastes more like hot chocolate. Just sayin :)

23.03.11 FERRIS WHEEL!

At the Lansdowne Mall parking lot in Richmond!

My feelings are best described in the lyrics to Shawn Desman's song "night like this":

And I feel like nothing
Nothing can touch me now
In this moment right here
No one can bring me down
Makes me wanna say heeeyyeeeeyyyyeeeeyyy
I don't want this feeling to end
Makes me wanna say heeeyyeeeeyyyyeeeeyyy
'Cause anything can happen
On a night like this

... Enjoy!

oh my aching legs

Tinikling is the best filipino folk dance ever.  It showcases poise and grace, and at the same time mad jumping skills.  And it also makes you feel your age.  As my artistic director says "it's for the 30 and under dancers"... umm so why am I still dancing it?! :) 
I hope that of the many children I am teaching it to, at least ONE of them loves it so much that they will want to take my place as Tinikling Queen (or King).  That is my goal.  For now, I need some ibuprofen.

17.02.11 best valentine's hearts

See the full gallery on posterous

This is basically a continuation of valentine's day hilarity. It's a collection of hearts with messages.

Who'd really want to be "CRAZY"? Is "HARD LUCK" a bad or good thing? "GOOD PALS" is NOT a good thing on valentine's day.
"BITE ME" was on a valentine's day card.
"LOL" I was told can also mean "lots of love". That's fine. But what if you interpreted it as laugh out loud"?
*heart shatter*

Hope everyone had a good one <3

07.02.11 ACME heart maker

Before anything:

http://www.acme.com/heartmaker/

Ok. The commentary:

SO FUN. I already made a gangload from my iPhone and saved the images to my camera roll. Super easy. I'm working on a creative way to send valentines. By working I mean PROCRASTINATING.

TIP:
The hearts only has space for 4 letters/numbers/select symbols for each of the 2 lines. So 8 characters in all. Get creative. Lose a lot of vowels.

07.02.11 they come in CHOCOLATE?!

I like this candy because it's the American version of Rockets. They have a different name (which is also one of my favourite chocolates) and it's like 4 times the size of Rockets (I call that "American size").

And NOW I find they come in chocolate flavour. Smarties are chocolate flavour. Haha to a Canadian, that's a totally dumb remark, but to an American, it's perfectly normal. Hahaha... Too... Many... Jokes...

A lady dressed head to toe in purple, emphasis on her head.

Also, a huge pick up truck. Like, it screams out "overcompensating".

I wish I saw a third funny thing on my way home from school, but the commute is pretty short. I'll count my blessings :)

02.02.11 mink's hot chocolate cup

I just took a photo of it because it's pretty. Particularly with all the grey in the background. Side note, the 1st hot chocolate festival is happening right now til February 14 at chocolate cafés all over Vancouver. Mink had a deeeelicious hot mint chocolate. Try it if you get a chance. But don't go for the french lavender flavour... Unless you like the taste of your grandma's garden. Bleaagh.

Psychological Egoism

Each person does in fact pursue his or her self-interest alone.

Hmmmm like the chick I sat beside in last week's class who did her monthly budget and scanned facebbok photos on her laptop during class?
Or how bout the guy in the next row who is msn chatting on his netbook?
Or this chick beside me now who is taking notes by taking photos of the screen with her iPhone?.. Incidentally, she turned down an offer for a pen. She is also texting some guy named Mark.

Yeah, I'm blogging in class. But at least I wait til break. I just wanted to take a verbal snapshot of my learning environment. It's way different than the last time I was in university.

Weird.

Am I really even here?

I feel like a dotted line : just an idea, a notion, a hint of something that should be right there but isn't.

The "cut", "fold", or "drawing" that the dotted line implies... Yeah, I wanna be THAT instead.

23.01.11 broken (looking) glass... everywhere!

Took this pic last night outside the Burrard street Cactus Club. I originally wanted to take a pic because it looked like there was some conspicuous white powder on it and I found it amusing (don't ask me why, I don't support drug abuse. I must be delirious from all my studying). Anyway, as I crouched down, I noticed the reflection of the TD and BMO buildings in the mirror. That was far more artistic. Hence, the reflection being my new subject of the photo.
