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.

2013 has been a good year to me. I travelled a lot (more than I expected, actually), met new friends, and ate a lot of food as well. Just like last year , I will try to summarize my year of travel with this blog post. I've been to Bontoc, Mountain Province for the first time this year and I went there twice! It was my first time in Indonesia and Malaysia. I even went to Malaysia twice (once in Kuala Lumpur and once in Kota Kinabalu)! I've been to the Bicol Region (Legazpi City and Naga City), Misamis Region (Cagayan de Oro City and Ozamiz City), Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte for the first time! I came back to Pangasinan before the year ends and enjoyed the food there as well. I went to Baguio City and Cebu City four times this year!
The first time I was able to ride the plane was the year 2004. Our family is going to Hong Kong for a 3-day vacation. It was the first time I saw an airplane up close and as a teenager going up in a developing country - it's like a dream country. Below is the summary of what I remember from a trip that happened almost ten years ago: Eating hot noodles in one of the small eateries in Hong Kong. They served it in such big bowls! Having breakfast in McDonald's and was seriously shocked that they don't serve fries - they still have hash browns though. I was shopping galore at a Giordano shop which was on a 50%-off sale. Mother was asking a stranger for directions in Filipino - as it turns out the person she's talking to is from Malaysia. Riding the cable car in Ocean Park Riding the train which goes through the sea - seriously scary. I imagined a movie when the tunnel would collapse Going to their market and buying souvenirs Staying in a beautiful hotel Cold weath...
