Experience of the month: English Bay Beach

By Celine -
Last May 9, 2021, Jomar and I decided to take a walk along the seawall, and we end up taking 15,000 steps. We walked east along West Broadway; when we reached Cambie, we walked north until we crossed the Cambie Bridge going to Downtown Vancouver. We walked near the Seawall near Yaletown until we reached the Burrard Bridge, where we crossed to go back to Fairview and back home.

The following weekend we decided to cross Burrard Bridge again. This time we met with my younger sister, Therese, who now lives in West End. The three of us walked to her favourite spot in English Bay Beach. We set up her beach mat and sat down.

We knew our only brother, Hovey, would have his vaccine shot that day, so I sent him a message to check if he's already done and if he has any plans afterwards. We invited him to come over, and he did.

He arrived 30 minutes later, and we sat there for a good hour. Enjoying each other's company and just feeling refreshed with nature. Thank God for experiences like this!

At around 4 in the afternoon, we decided to leave since none of us had lunch yet. We ordered from Poke Bar because Hovey wants to eat poke. We enjoyed our lunner in Therese's apartment.

We walked across Burrard Bridge again to go back home. It was a fun Saturday! I can't wait to get vaccinated so we can enjoy more time with the family.
Location: Beach Ave, Vancouver, BC V6C 3C1, Canada

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

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's

Food Trip near La Salle Taft: Exile on Main Street

+Joshua  has been raving that we try this restaurant along Leon Guinto Street, walking distance from De La Salle University-Manila. Last August 16 (Saturday), we (+Jomar, +Wayne, and Mitch) gave it a shot. We went there a little before 6:00 PM, and thankfully, we arrived at that time! There's a board games night (every Saturday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM) organized by a group of people so the place could get noisy and crowded during Saturday evening. According to Josh and his friend, it's not usually like that. The Service The service is okay. The waiter who served us didn't smile at all. He also looked tired and impatient. At first, I was a bit disappointed by that, but I just told myself that it's okay. I mean, I could imagine how tired he might be running around getting and serving orders from all the people inside such a small place! Still, the service could have been better. The Food What it lacked on service, it compensates with the yummy food.  +Wayne  h
