Zombies and Belugas

Lots has gone on in the last few months, I might as well just use a point list to tell the short but sweet version of everything! :)

  • Finished my Practicum – I passed! I am now a qualified Early Childhood Education Special Needs Teacher
  • I’ve been working full time, doing extra support work with a little boy with autism at my works Summer Camp program, we have both been having so much fun.
  • In July for Bryan’s 30th Birthday we headed over to Tofino and went Surfing. It was awesome!
  • I am apart of Paddle for Kids again, and apart of the H2oGeeks Dragon Boat Team – I am collecting donations to the B.C. Childrens Hospital.

This past weekend has been loads of fun. It started off on friday night when Bryan and I went out to celebrate the passing of my practicum, and we went out for dinner and then after went over to a friends place and just hung out with them. The next day – Saturday we headed downtown Vancouver for a day of adventure. We actually went down to go to a local car parts store but they were closed and we were easily distracted with the fact that there was a Zombie Walk, which we promptly begun stalking. Sadly I did not have my camera with me, but it was still fun none the less. I managed to find a flickr group, so take a look at the fun that took place in downtown Vancouver over the weekend.

The fun did not end there for me, as later that night headed out for a friends birthday. Started out at Bryan’s sisters place for some dinner and pre party drinks, then we moved off to the bar. Where we partied and had fun. It was great! We got back at her place at around midnight, and continued to party well into the early morning. I think we all finally went to bed around 2:30.

The next morning Bryan woke me up with replies that he got me a puppy, and all sorts of other random fun comments as we had to get going to my Brothers place for brunch. I even had a dream that night that he surprised me with a dog, I am sure that it had something to do with the neighbours dog barking at random times throughout the night and it got into my subconcious. Have you ever had something like that happen?

We had a party brunch at my brothers place, complete with ceasars. It was really fun hanging out with him and his girlfriend having a morning brunch together. Not to mention some of my brothers friends were there also, so Bryan and I got to meet some new people. After food Bryan and I got thinking about what we wanted to do, as I was all dressed up for summer weather and surprisenly it was sunny overhead with evil black rain clouds in the distance. We decided to stay with the sunshine and headed to the Vancovuer Aquarium (where we are members)

We spent a good portion of our time watching the Belugas. I think of them as my pets. If I could own my own beluga I would. LOL! :) They are such awesome animals. Actually I think of all the animals, and creatures there as my pets. As we are not allowed to have our own animals where we live, I have to improvise whenever possible. One thing that I always tend to do at the aquarium is be a spokesperson for the animals, I often overhear the tourists and others asking questions and the people they are with answer them with false information, and I promptly butt in and tells them whats what. I heard one man mention to his teenage children that the dolphin who was swimming upside downunder the water must be dying and not in good health, to which I told him – no they do that. Even in the wild. The man just rolled his eyes at me and walked away. I guess he liked the idea of dead ocean animals or something. I love my sea creature pets.

Do you have any imaginary, pretend, friend owned and you “adopted”, makeshift wanna be pets, or do you just have the real thing?

Time to update?

It has been forever since I posted. Seriously, it has been forever. Check the date. I have been working background stuff, these past few weeks on the blog, such as finishing my 101 in 1001 list, as well as joining a bunch of fanlistings. I’m not anywhere near complete, but like many abandoned blogs out [...]

It Over

There you have it, the Canucks are out of the playoffs. It was a great run, though I will be faithful to the age old mantra “There is always next year” -

Would you touch the Stanley Cup?

Would you touch the Stanley Cup, or you do you think it is bad luck and only should be reserved for players who have won it? When I have met the Stanley Cup back when Bryan and I were on our holiday in Tonroto a few years ago, I can only compare it to meeting [...]

Seriously…

…. I suck! I can go on and make excuses as to why I have not been around to update my own blog. I could go on to explain that work, and life has taken over my favourite hobbies? I could go on to explain and make even more random excuses but that would not [...]

It’s All Over

As you all must know by now, the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics are over. It ended with a HUGE BANG! Canada won gold in overtime in Mens Hockey! *Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal* – I was downtown for the game, I actually got to the pub at 9am so then we could get a [...]

Winter Olympics Day 16

It is hard to believe that the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are drawing to a close. These past two weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions, and patriotism. Never in my whole life will I experience an event like this. The parties, and the people. Last night Canada defeated Slovakia in Men’s Hockey 3 – [...]

Day Four – Vancouver 2010

Today marks the end of day FOUR of the Vancouver 2010 Winer Olympics. I might as well just get it out there, does anyone want to call in and tell my work that I have been kidnapped? I really do not want to go to work while all these amazing events around town are happening! [...]

Let the Games Begin!

On Tuesday the Olympic Torch past by my work and I managed to be able to take some of the children with me to be able to see it. I am so glad we made it and were able to watch it go past. I felt so proud to be Canadian at that moment – [...]
