HELLO SNOW!

FIRST SNOW FALL TODAY!

It's too early for snow actually, but the first fall always excites me.

[sorry about the quality of the picture, I took these using my BlackBerry.]

This is what I woke up to this morning.

The forecast said it will be raining and light snowing on Sunday until Tuesday ( snow fall started this morning tho ) and it will be partly cloudy to sunny for the rest of the week. The amount of snow doesn't look like a "light snow" to me but whatevs!

While waiting for the bus to come

I just hope we'll have a decent winter this year coz last year? omiigosh! All the weekend (I'm not exaggerating) of December, our temperature dropped to   -40ºC  and knee-high snow (if you're my height then yeah). Getting a  -20ºC or -30ºC at least once a year is pretty normal in some Canadian provinces, so if you get a 0 or a -4ºC for a temperature, please don't go around cursing like there's no tomorrow coz just imagine how cold it could get here sometimes.

"Do Canadians live in igloos?"

- hahaha I actually try not to laugh whenever I get this question before, but now I get irritated why? uhm, are you actually telling me that, that's how much you knew about Canada?

But do Canadians live in igloos?

- SOME Canadians from the far north actually do but MOST of us Canadians live in apartments, condos and houses made of bricks, woods and cements. And for more information visit DO PEOPLE IN CANADA LIVE IN IGLOOS?.

It is sad that there are people knew almost nothing about Canada except that Canada and Canadians exist.

Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow?(England)
A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die. 

This next question made me laugh the hardest.

Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)
A: Depends on how much you've been drinking. 

ahh and more

Q: Are there supermarkets in Toronto and is milk available all year round?(Germany)
A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gathers. Milk is illegal.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada, but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. (USA )
A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking. 

Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website. Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked! 

source and more for the lulz BECAUSE EVERYONE IN CANADA LIVES IN AN IGLOO.




Ok, that's it. Good night!

VACATION PART TWO

This all picture entry was from the Canada celebration.

It was only 21 deg C that day but it was ridiculously humid! The humidity was just wearing everybody down that my family decided to just stay home than be sticky outside when we can enjoy this nice a/c house and sleep for most part of the day. It was 6pm already when we hit downtown just to check out what's in store for everybody.

And here's the photo story.

Before anything else, belated HAPPY CANADA DAY again! ;)

I got my maple leaf temporary tattoo from one of the ladies at the booth :D

This is Downtown

I don't know much about cars. frigg! I don't know cars at all, but these cars from the event are mouth and eye watering. I wanna go further more by trying to say the make of these cars but screw it! Like I said, I don't know cars and I'm not gonna google them so I can say more here. Anyways, here's more..

BACE

I wonder how much that food stand made that day?It was a non stop line up of people who wants ice cream and other junks food.


the A&W booth, I thought it was a face painting stand at first. deyng! I wanted a face paint!

There's a whole hecka lot more cars pictures that I didn't upload here, I just wanna share the cars tho I don't know the make, I think they're cute and eye catching. There was supposed to be a video here as well but blogger is not cooperating right now, so maybe i'll share it next time.

After downtown, we drove down to the Riverbank Discovery Centre. There was also a band, those bounce-y things, a mountain of sand for kids to dig and get dirty and have their parents go ballistic at the sight of filthiness. I'll shut up now and just show you guys the pictures.

Here's what you'll see at the parking lot.

the portable sink which I think was a genius idea.


junk food stands


the flag obviously :D




this is from the picture above, just emphasizing on what was curved on that box.

That was the Canada day celebration, we was gonna stay until the fireworks but like I said, it was too humid and mosquitoes are everywhere so I don't think we'll enjoy staying at the park or just driving around town and waste gas.

***************************************
First ever blog contest I've entered. Oh gosh! This is just way too exciting.. Most of the bloggers I follow are either from the Philippines or from the the U.S. I don't really know a blogger or a beauty blogger from Canada so when I came across Maricela and Kim's blogs and found out they're Canadians too -- dunno -- haha I'm just happy to simply know that there are also Canadian beauty bloggers out there. So yay for Canadian random bloggers and beauty bloggers.

It'll be awesome if I win these goodies..
