I am so busy with work that I have forgotten about this blog. I am writing this 21st of May and just changed the date to January 31, 2017.
The adventures of the first 15 days of the year is about time I spent with Jomar before he heads back to the Philippines. We went to Museum of Athropology (MoA), Granville Island, and watched a movie at Cineplex. Our last dinner date together (for this trip) is at the best burger restaurant in Vancouver, Romer's Burger Bar. After a food coma dinner, we walked to Cheesecake, Etc. for some desserts.
What happened the rest of the month?
On top of my workday work routine, I got to meet with Amit last January 19. We spent 30 minutes talking how life has been since we both came to North America. He works at Google and he is one of the Developer Relations folks that manage the community in APAC but decided to come back for family reasons in North America.
The best photo we could do - a failed selfie outside Crepe & Cafe which apparently closes at 7pm.
Other than meeting with Amit, the other new thing I was able to try for this month is a dinner alone at Sushi Bang. It is a small sushi place near Broadway City Hall station. I had the Box B Chicken Bento Box which includes chicken, assorted tempura, salad, tuna and salmon sashimi (4 pieces), salmon roll. I also ordered gyoza but it seems like I forgot to take a photo of it.
Jomar and I will have our Philippine Catholic wedding in July. To enlighten those who want to have their Sacrament of Holy Matrimony in the beautiful and historic Manila Cathedral, I will share with you how much it cost. Why did we pick Manila Cathedral? I want to say that because it's historic and beautiful. But honestly, it's because Manila Cathedral has relevant information on their website for a couple like us living and already legally married abroad. Ms. Donna also responds to our emails and calls promptly. The bonus is it's historic and beautiful. According to one of my Ninang, " ang haba ng walk down the aisle mo ." I didn't think of that. I'm not sure if I like it. LOL. They also have a dashboard where you complete the forms, and it lists what you need to submit and when. It's pretty impressive. Wedding Preparation Step 1.

Celine Note: This is the 150th post in this blog. Yay! I am pleased that it just so happen that my sister, Therese, finally agreed to make a post. She is currently studying at the University of British Columbia taking up Arts. She's still deciding whether to take Political Science or Psychology as a major. This piece is her point-of-view from the recently concluded 149th Canada Day. Due to the recent political upheavals in the US and UK, many citizens of those nations are considering moving to Canada or at least, are joking about it. What is so special about Canada? Other than the notion that Canadians are polite and friendly, Canada's society is far more advanced than other developed countries.

Last October 2013, I was able to visit the City of Naga and below is my food trip in CamSur. Casa Moderna Freshly baked bread on a huge brick oven and some Pancit for snacks on a lazy afternoon. That's how I enjoyed the soft pastry and meaty Pancit in Casa Moderna. Currently, they have five branches all in Naga City. Be sure to visit at least one of them. Meaty Palabok
