Truth: classical concerts are not for everybody. It may come across as a stuffy affair. The sophisticated audience dressed up in fancy clothes. The music transporting you away to the land of zzzzzs. (not unlike attending an opera)
2Cellos certainly cuts through that stereotype. The duo may be wielding cellos, but buttoned down and sedate they’re not.
For our anniversary, Sean and I just had to check out EMP’s exhibition: Star Wars + Power of Costumes. 60 hand-crafted costumes, sketches, photos and interactive displays. A rad behind-the-scenes look on the creative process.
Cuz we’re nerds like that.

It’s been a while. Sean and I have been trying to visit our animals friends at Maplewood Farm for the past few weeks. But it either rains on the weekends or we’re busy with other commitments. It got to the point that with each passing week, whenever Sean’s friends asked what we were doing and Sean always responded with ‘Maplewood Farm’, his friend thought we were hardcore, that going to Maplewood was all that we do on our time off.
Charlie could totally be the chat noir in this iconic French poster by Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen. Except not as judgey.
15 days of Chinese New Year festivities. That means plenty of eating and plenty of family time. My brothers and I may be busy with day-to-day life and may not see each other often enough, but we always head home (or in this photo, a restaurant) for Chinese New Year dinner with mom.
What started out as a “never have I ever” game morphed into truth or dare with Sean’s nephews over the weekend. Many silly dares were put forth and some equally absurd questions bandied about. It’s pretty funny being asked jokingly, “Have you ever danced for money?”
But it was not like we were there to just corrupt them or be in any way bad influences. It was Sean’s sister’s birthday and the siblings converged into Vancouver for a party and mini family reunion of sorts. A pretty great way to celebrate a milestone birthday, if you ask me.
From one Aquarian to another, happy birthday Kat!
After 7 years of blogging on the Blogger platform, I made the leap to WordPress!
I’ve been wanting to make the switch now for the past couple of years, but was intimidated by the thought of how much work it’ll be, not to mention that I might bork it up. I could’ve paid someone to handle the migration for me, but I thought it best to gain the experience, so I decided to put on my big girl pants and do it myself.
