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.

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.

My life goal right now is to travel and see much of the world as I can. Last June, I was in Yogyakarta, Indonesia for the Google Southeast Asia Outreach Summit. Little did I know, that I would be travelling out of the country again, this time in the Capital City of Sabah - Kota Kinabalu. +GDG Philippines were asked to help +GDG Kota Kinabalu with their first GDG Devfest KK. +Jomar and +Wayne discussing Java best-practices while waiting for our food in Kenny Rogers.
New city. New people. More universities going Google! Day 1: LSU Gone Google Last May 24, 2013 (Friday), Jomar and I took the only flight going to Ozamiz City (from Manila) for the La Salle University (LSU) Google Apps for Education Training. After the initial surprise of the checked-in luggage just being handed out by airport employees, we went out and looked for Ms. Leslyn of LSU. We saw her with the other professors, and we headed straight to the university. Being an alumna of De La Salle University in Taft Avenue, Manila , I am delighted to be sharing to the faculty of LSU what I know about Google Apps. We started the training a little after 9:00 AM and the teaching staff representatives from each college and department was very eager to learn. They asked questions and were really looking forward to maximizing Google Apps for the coming school year. Day 1 Class
