  • Fashion’s Night Out

    Raul brought this to my attention and asked if I could share it with you, my lovely readers: Guests of Fashion’s Night OUT! will be treated to a one-off fashion show put on by The Hudson Bay Company’s celebrated and critically successful White Space in Yaletown’s V Lounge on March 8, 2011 along with a […]

  • Heading Home

    So I’m on the ferry heading back to the mainland from my weekend in Nanaimo. The boat claims it has wifi, but I can’t appear to connect to it. Ferry FAIL. Another thing this ferry lacks: hotties. Double FAIL. At any rate, I’m writing this tiny posting on my iPhone in the WordPress app so […]

  • If I Had a House Warming Party, Would You Come To It?

    So, I’ve had an address in Surrey for almost a year now ((nope, not yet able to say that in “live” in Surrey. Because really, can you call what happens here “living”?)), so I’m thinking it’s about time to throw that housewarming party I’ve been meaning to have. I mean, my place is big enough […]

  • Kung Hii Fatt Choi*

    Happy Chinese New Year! Honestly, I know pretty much nothing about Chinese New Year, other than that it happens in February. But apparently it is now the year of the Rabbit. Which means that according to the Chinese zodiac, my sister’s new baby will be a Rabbit ((Would it be wrong for me to have […]

  • Happy Birthday Lianna!

    Today my friend Lianna turns the big 3-2! So last night a bunch of  us went out to celebrate!  We started – and ended, as it turned out – at The Charles Bar in the Woodwards Building. I’d never been there before and, in fact, the first time I’d heard of it was a few […]

  • Are You Hiding Under Your Desk Yet?

    I’m not actually writing this blog posting right now. In fact, as this post, which I’ve written in advance and scheduled to post at exactly 10 a.m., is being published, I’m hiding under my desk and holding on for dear life!  Because it’s time for the The Great British Columbia Shake Out –  the biggest earthquake drill […]

  • Bethmas Celebrations!

    So last night was my big Bethmas celebration. I mean, I celebrated my Bethday in a variety of ways throughout the week – like with cupcakes and Indian buffet dinner on my actual Bethday and by buying myself a wicked pairs of boots. But last night was the big party, what with it being a […]

  • The Best Cupcakes I Have Ever Made

    A long time ago, I saw this picture of a cupcake: A mocha cupcake with mocha ganache and mascarpone cream. And I decided that I must make that cupcake. But it’s quite an involved cupcake, one that I needed a worthy occasion.  Clearly, my birthday was just such an occasion. So, on Monday night I […]

  • Join the Shake Out!

    In the mountain of email that was waiting for me upon my return to work after three weeks of holidays, there was an email about the The Great British Columbia Shake Out. What is a “Shake Out,” you ask? Only the biggest earthquake drill in the history of Canada! BC is a hot spot for […]
