VANCOUVAAAAH! It's happening people! They are here! I'm now working for some Australian TV people and it's great. They all seem pretty cool and the perks are pretty sweet. But I have a feeling that my job will be less running around the city, and more sitting and doing a whole lot of waiting to do stuff. Which is ok I guess. Considering that long drives to and from YVR to Whistler to where ever (like experienced today) aren't my thing.
It's so cool being here. I bike to work in less than 15 minutes and Yaletown, where I am situated, is a vibrant area full of people from all over the world. I also get to work with a great friend of mine for most of my shifts. And looking forward to meeting the network super stars and other important Aussies (that I don't really know of) while they're here. Liking the free gear and food too. :) heehee
This will be me...

Romola Garai on the Olympics:
"I do think the Olympics are a curiously male obsession. Who can run the fastest from here to here? You know what I think? Who gives? Because if you're not running to catch a bus or running to buy me a bunch of flowers, I don't care."
haha!
Someone in high school said I looked like her. THANK YOU friend!

The Vancouver Aquarium
I've always thought that our Aquarium was one of the most magical places for a kid (as well as a 23 year old.. cough*). I remember spending what felt like hours and hours visiting the tropical room searching for the sloth, enchanted by the pink anemone and angelic jelly fish, or watching the orca splash around. I was invited to my friend's daughters 2nd birthday gathering there this past weekend. 10 on a Saturday... eek! But I embraced the crisp morning air, jumped on my bike and rode to Stanley Park. I hadn't seen these girls in person for literally years. Since our last days working at Urban Fare, we've only kept in touch via Facebook. So this was the first time meeting their little ones. Crazy! Lizanne was the first to arrive with her impossibly adorable Eva. I couldn't stop smiling! SOOO cute! And Lizanne is just amazing, not only is she (and her boyfriend) raising a 15 month year old, but they both work AND study full time! I can barely do one at a time, I couldn't imagine what having to care for another human being would feel like on top of all that. I admire her! And then Ashley came around with her little guy Tristan and eventually Sherisse (who wasn't expecting Lizanne and I) with her birthday girl Shaushauna.
It was so nice to be a little kid again and wander around the Aquarium and catch up with the ladies and giggle with their delightful kids. And of course pay a visit to my favorite Aquarium creature, the sea otter. Spent a good 5 minutes soaking up it's cuteness. Then went home and watched Schindler's List.
Kidding.

Me at 3? or 4?

Vancouver this weekend.
I was lucky enough to enjoy the rare January sunshine during the past few days. What a difference it makes having a blue sky! It felt just like the time when I arrived back home this December.
On Saturday I had a nice coffee with my friend Julie at Granville Island and got to walk and talk with her on the sea wall. Then came home to our back porch doors wide open. Kaja and Whitey were just hanging out in the kitchen letting the sweet air fill the house. Felt like spring.
Then after a horrific wind storm at around 4am Sunday, I woke to sunshine! AGAIN!? So tralalala went biking in the afternoon and read my book in English Bay. I gotta live it up before I start my job in February! I just hope there will be more pretty days like these to come in the next few weeks. Especially since my lovely cousin Laura is coming to visit in the end of the month.
I love my bike!

Baking. During the holidays I became rather obsessed with baking. Here are some pics of the action!
Whitey eyeing the batter (she sat there on the chair for a good 20 minutes just waiting for me to look the other way. Fat chance little one!)
My baking day with Danica and Cisca :)
My mess...
Kaja's gingerbread stormtroopers...
"Fruit Explosion Muffins" (Evelyn's Recipe).. fairly decent attempt (considering they were all consumed within 24 hours)
