I’ve had a pizza craving for a few days:
IMG_20160517_202618

Still got the craving because frozen pizzas just don’t do the job. The lettuce was fresh picked from my dad’s garden and we mixed it up with the potato salad (from… Costco?).

Good thing I’ve been biking a ton. Today was super productive – work, bike, yoga, washed my Veloster and a boat (my mom has a Camry). Where’s a good place to take my car to get it detailed?

STARRRRVING when I got home. It’s time to start planning Iceland… but maybe after Rachel Nguyen’s vlogs from last Christmas:

She’s a pretty cool girl from LA who worked very hard to get where she is now. Some people don't actually work - they just depend on the system to take them where they want to go. And parents of course.

Did I mention what happened on Sunday at Lansdown?

We locked our bikes against a fence that we shouldn't have (I do admit we were wrong there), and the security guards locked them up with their own lock. We called them using the phone number that was on the notice they left behind. One shorter fellow in a regular grey shirt and a taller fellow in a Garda security uniform came storming out, and the shorter fellow started accusing us of breaking the fence! He was like a chihuahua, barking loudly, but really no bite (his arguments were quite illogical). Fence was already broken before we got there, they wouldn't have any proof to show that we did, so they can't hold us responsible for the charges. Anyways, long story short, the short one admitted he knew that we didn't break the fence, but wanted to just scare us and teach us a lesson, so that we wouldn't park our bikes illegally any more. His name is Nahid Islam, and he was extremely rude - he even said that if we were older, he would've just let us off, but because we're younger and we could afford "nice" bikes, we should've known better and he wanted to send us a strong message.

They should put up a sign to make it official.

I always wonder how people get hired for what they're doing... Garda World, why you hire people like this to perpetuate stereotypes about security guards?

Beautiful day for a drive and a hike, and H & I wanted to take the new Veloster up on the highway, so we decided to hit up Joffre Lake yesterday. I came here last year with L & A: http://luwesa.blogspot.ca/2014/06/joffre-lakes.html 

The lower lake was amazing (the Veloster was amazing too. I really missed it.):

Traffic heading up the Upper Levels highway was horrid, we were side tracked by the Squamish farmer’s market, and there was construction along the Duffy Lake Road, so by the time we arrived at the lake, it was already about 3:30PM. Not enough time to go up and come down before dark. We ate our snacks by the parking lot and left. Harrison brought Astronaut ice cream by Mountain House that came with his Cairn box a while back:

Tasted like real ice cream, but the texture was stickier and well… dry, ‘cause that’s essentially what it was.



Eargasming from listening to Tydi Global Soundsystem 195.  Yes, I know it's half a month old, but I haven't had time to find new music lately.

I miss my car.  It’s in the shop to get protective coating.  Picking it up tomorrow after work.  The sales person showed me the functions quickly.  Didn’t really need the tutorial, but hey, it's part of his job.

Yesterday:
Me: I have boy troubles again.
P: Your life is like a Taiwanese drama.
Me: Yeah, I know.  We match in so many ways though.  He’s a Taurus and I’m a Capricorn!
P: Now I really feel like we’re in a Taiwanese drama.
Me: HAHAHAHAH
