Lighthouse Park
Sunday, June 26, 2016
Since we are planning to go for a hike in Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver this week, let me share a few snaps of my first trip there with my husband. I believe I've posted about it before but it was kind of brief. We've only been in a few hiking spots but we plan to do more if we have the time.
Let me start it off with getting there.
Sunset in Stanley Park
Saturday, February 27, 2016
There's no better place in the city to catch the birth and death of the light of day than Stanley Park.
Shiny, Happy People

Truth be told, I don't have much friends. I don't really care about going out and meeting new people, staying at home is my cup of tea.
Eternal /ˈrändəˌvo͞o/
The other day, we saw a lovely couple doing their wedding shoot in the street. There were no balloons, no rose petals on the pavement, no confetti showers. Nothing fancy but the couple and their entourage in their lovely lavender dresses.
Nature's First Green is Gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

Our Favourite Spot
Thursday, December 18, 2014
Grab your blankets, pack up a light lunch, bring your picnic basket, and we will take you to our favourite spot!
We spent a few of our summer days going to this lovely place by the water. Every Friday, they would have a band play in the park, and people would just come sitting down with their chairs and blankets, ready for the music and the summer breeze. The place is located in a bay beside a small town, the kind where everybody knows everybody. Everything you need is just a few steps away from each other's stores, and the people are laid back. mind you, they politely do not welcome skateboarders in their park.
The day these photos were taken, the band that was playing was paying tribute to The Beatles. Everybody just sat in the grass and enjoyed the 'here and now'. Most of the oldies went up to dance the afternoon away, while the younger ones swayed and danced along in their seats. People would smile at each other whether they were strangers or not.
This is my kind of thing, no hardcore parties and wasted girls in their skimpy skirts (if there is any). Again, I am not a hater, I just love me some laid back lifestyle. It's quite a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. My husband really, really love this place. We're looking forward to come back next summer and do a bit of water activity. Cold water activity.
False Creek 2.0
In relation to my previous post, here are two more photos of False Creek from my phone. It was taken one afternoon while my husband was doing his usual afternoon hobby as I -- consider it as a hobby -- wander around whilst enjoying my "me" time. It's a priceless thing just walking around without talking to anybody and just observing anything and everything that surrounds you. Sometimes you'll see people walking their lovely dogs, bikers cursing at you when you walk along the bike lane, kids running around with their parents at a safe distance, teenagers sitting on the grass probably munching on their snacks or munching on each other, making out; and not far behind them are more teenagers smoking weed. The best would be the old people walking hand in hand, not in a hurry, with wrinkles as they smile.
Also, sunsets are lovely in this side of the city!
