Happy Wednesday! Jomar and I went to the first day of the PNE Winter Fair. We
left home after office hours and arrived at the PNE shortly before 6:00 PM.
The entrance is near the Pacific Coliseum, not at Hastings and Renfrew's
corner.
Winter Lights, presented by BC Hydro
One of the first lights you will see is the Winter Lights display. But, then,
there are the star, train, and gifts.

After admiring the first section of WinterLights, we took a peek inside the
Tim Hortons Ice Rink at PNE Agrodome.

After a quick pick at the ice rink, we walked through the Polar Passage, my
favourite part of the PNE Winter Fair. I think we walked back and forth under
these lights more than five times during our 3 hours there.
There is a couple Christmas tree at the PNE Winter Fair. The "normal" looking
one near the ice rink and the Christmas Tree covered in purple lights which
you can walk through.

Carolers near Candy Cane Lane
I enjoyed walking through Candy Cane Lane and admiring the life-size candy
display.
Then, there's the Winter Creatures display. Bear, reindeer, and other winter
creatures are on display.

One of my favourite displays: is Santa's Sleigh and Reindeer.
To keep ourselves warm, we took a peek inside Holiday Theatre and were just in
time for the live show: The Magic of Santa Holiday Musical.

Before heading home and while enjoying our Christmas Dinner Poutine, we
decided to go inside the Dueling Pianos tent and were rewarded with live
music.

We left the fair a few minutes after 9:00 PM and had a fun Wednesday date. This is the last event we planned outside the Christmas Eve dinner with the family.
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.

I moved to Canada and left the Philippines almost five years ago, and I thought of making a list of five things Filipinos should think about before deciding to move or work abroad. 1. Why are you leaving the Philippines? This is the most critical question. What's your reason for leaving? Are you currently mad at the government? Are you disappointed with the traffic? Do you want a better life for your family? Why are you even thinking about leaving? Answering this question is essential, and your reason needs to be so strong and powerful that when things get tough abroad, it will be a source of strength. For example, if your reason for leaving is that you're disappointed with the government - WHAT IF the new country you moved into has the same problems? Are you going to leave again? My answer to this question : I want to be with my family. My parents ...
Happy Canada Day! Our celebration began last night when we had dinner at the only Indigenous restaurant in Vancouver, Salmon n' Bannock. We enjoyed Elk Steak and Bison Soup, among other dishes. Today, our day started with breakfast at Tim Hortons. It's as cliche as it gets. Then, we walked across Granville Bridge on a beautiful clear day to Downtown Vancouver. View from Granville Bridge We were walking along Howe Street when my husband suggested we stop by and check out the activities happening in the northern plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery. It was the Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Festival, and we enjoyed Taiwanese Sausage and had a Red Bean Wheel Cake for the first time.
