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. Reserve a wedding date The first thing you do is go to their ...
I have so many ideas on how to do this year-end post. I thought of doing a per month summary or a top 19 things that happened this 2019. I'm writing this December 30th, and I still haven't decided. I'll look at Google Photos and see what happened each month and see if I can present it in a better way. Let's do this! Update on December 31 : I started a monthly summary and picked the top 19 events that happened this year. Disclaimer: I didn't include birthdays. This list is arranged chronologically. Number 1. Staycation at Pan Pacific Hotel We welcomed 2019 by staying overnight at Pan Pacific Hotel (you can read the details here ). The primary reason for our stay is to watch the Vancouver New Year fireworks. View from our hotel room Our beautiful room (and yes, that's the view from the window) Number 2. Vancouver Aquarium at night Jomar's workplace has organized a winter party at the Vancouver Aquarium. There were lots of food, gre...
Summer officially began on June 21, the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The first summer weekend is busy, and we're blessed with beautiful sunny weather. Friday: Road Trip to White Rock, BC The weekend began when we took a drive from Vancouver to South Surrey, BC. It's my penultimate Friday at my current work. After dropping off company-issued devices (laptop, monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.), we drove to White Rock, BC. The sun illuminated the horizon, and it was low-tide, exposing the rocky seafloor filled with people sunbathing. Thank God for the beautiful scenery. Canada's Longest Pier is at White Rock, BC Canada We indulged in a delicious dinner at a local restaurant, Charlie Don't Surf , then grabbed a scoop of gelato from Maya's before returning home. Saturday: Immersed in Filipino Culture at the Pinoy Festival We woke up late and had...
