Had to come to <b>Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co. </b>since a lot of friends recommended it as my next place to review on, so I might as well drop by for a dinner night with a friend. I love the location since it is right along Main Street where my friend lives so I just parked at his place and we walked down the street to the restaurant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The day we went was lovely and it was sunny. The patio of the restaurant was opened, and it was packed. If it wasn't packed I would have totally gone outside to enjoy the sun instead of sitting inside~!!</div>

We ordered two drinks to start off the night, and they were not alcoholic so I could drive home at the end of the night. But, they do have tons of drinks on tap!! We ordered the Lemonade and the Ice Tea that they blend specially in house. They use maple syrup in the mix, which gave that true Canadian feel to it!</div>

We ordered two salads for the night, the one on the left is the Blackberry Basil salad, and the one on the right is the Goat Cheese Fig salad. They were both extremely delicious. The Blackberry Basil has a sweet dressing and the basil really gave the salad a nice light taste at the end of each bite. The Goat Cheese Fig salad was my favourite for the night. The greens were well coated with the goat cheese dressing and the figs tickled my tongue which brought the salad to a very bright flavour. Well done on both salads, and they add an in house garlic bread they made. I didn't realize it was garlic bread until I bit and tasted the deliciousness of it. If the salads were this amazing, their Pizzas were just out of this world~!!</div>

I was never really a pizza guy. I love burgers, pies, hot dogs etc. But these could not be compared to just any ordinary pizza though. I think after a visit here, it really changed my mind! We ordered two flatbreads, Parma and Hot Calabrese. The Parma reminded me of a Ham and Pineapple pizza but stepped up to a restaurant level. It was a smart way to reinvent it, and by added arugula really lifts the additional flavours to the pizza. The perfectly cured ham with the sweet bites of pineapples really made my night for sure.<br />

<br />
The Hot Calabrese was more of a mature taste, especially since it has a little spicy flavour added into the mix. Each bite seemed different because with the abundance of ingredients added to it. The mushrooms really gave the pizza a meaty flavour to it, and the amount of cheese was perfect. The banana peppers were delicious but maybe if they left the seeds on them, it would have been a little bit more spicy and delicious. Did I mention, that the flatbread they are on are all made in house? There is a "no gluten" option, but who cares about that with me. We stayed for desserts too. I was full at this point, but we saw the desserts offered, we couldn't pass up on it.<br />

We order two desserts for the night. The daily cheesecake flavour of the night was the Green Tea cheesecake and their staple is the Warm Double Chocolate Brownie. The green tea cheesecake had a really delicious Green Tea flavour, and the crust was made from coconuts! The flakes of coconuts were really prominent in the cheesecake and the green tea gives the cheesecake a perfect bitter flavour to the whole plate. The chocolate brownie got me drooling, because as it landed on the table, you can smell the chocolate. The brownie was oozing with chocolate flavour, and once it lands in your mouth, your body just trembles with excitement. I couldn't hold back much longer and my friend said he loved the Chocolate one a lot too.<br />
<br />
Overall, I love Rocky Mountain Flatbread, and the food was delicious, locally grown and a lot of their ingredients were properly sourced with organic farmers. I love this place. Would come back again in the future and I 100% recommend this place to friends <3 I will come back in the future to try out their Brunch/Lunch menu!</div>

This summer I had to drop by CRAFT Beer Market again with a couple of friends to check out their patio. But when we visited, it was extremely busy, so we couldn't get a patio seating, so we were brought to the side instead. But I will try to visit again JUST to drink on the patio.<br />

My friends ordered a <i>FastFood Sushi</i>, which is meat, meat and TONS of meat wrapped in bacon and served on top of BBQ sauce and some light horseradish mayo. I should have taken a bite, but at that moment in the night, I didn't want any.</div>

I myself ordered the Halibut fish tacos for my entree of the night. I had to order 4 or I wouldn't be full by the end of the night. The tacos were light and very refreshing. There was a side sauce of housemade Siracha. They made it spicy to the point where it was perfect! I called it Asian medium spicy, which was surprising to me since I LOVE spicy foods.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the atmosphere of the place since it was HUGE, and it would take SO MANY people, and I love coming here all the time, especially since I have large group of friends for beer and a great time.

This little restaurant located on Cambie is quite adorable and I think I would have been a regular if only their food quality matched their amazing service.<br />
<br />
Me and my friends came in and was craving for some Thai food, so we all ordered a different dish, but we shared them all. I ordered a Pad Thai combo, which had the Hot and Sour soup, and Spring Roll added to my Pad Thai entree. The sizzle hot Pad Thai was perfectly steamy, and it looked SOOO delicious, but the only bad thing was that the sauce was extremely sweet, and it felt like I was eating ketchup. GAH! It was surprising me in every way, and it just caught me off guard. Wanted some spicy flavour in it, but instead got sweet sweet sweet through thick and thin.... I was happy they had some authentic chili sauce, not talking about Siracha, but that thick clump of chili stuff. I mixed it in, and it tasted a LOT better.<br />

<br />
The price was cheap for what I got, and for so many choices as the entree dish, I don't mind it. But really, I was expecting a better quality of food though. It is catagorized as, tried once and will not go back until their cooking style changes. One thing I love is their decor and the little shoppe in the corner of the restaurant. Do approve of that, but anything else, will not go back.</div>

<br />
Thank you to CKNW AM 980 for inviting me to the Vancouver premier to the movie<i> Lucy</i>. I received 4 tickets, so I invited 3 of my other friends to the event, and we had a fantastic night. Directed and written by Luc Benson, we were expecting a full on action movie like in the <i>Transporter</i> franchise. But I think our group of friends went in with too high of the expectations for the movie. We wanted an amazing Science Fiction movie, that would give an ultra ride, but it gave us a sub-par story line with lackluster action scenes.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I do like the "original" idea of being able to unlock the power of your mind and discover the whole world and human body, but the story lead us to a predictable ending where a lot of Anime fans would know where it references to.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aPSudJtIur8/U9CoH4WHQtI/AAAAAAAAFAI/WrIOtY1jRAs/s1600/Lucy3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aPSudJtIur8/U9CoH4WHQtI/AAAAAAAAFAI/WrIOtY1jRAs/s1600/Lucy3.jpg" height="268" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
One thing I did enjoy of the movie were the visuals. The amount of CG used in the movie gave the perfect image of how the viewers were curious of Lucy's powers. It enhanced the movie quite a bit, and some of the scenes were visually stunning. There could of bit more of those scenes instead of just describing some of them through regular narration, which bugged me a lot.<br />
<br />
Scarlett Johansson performed beautifully in the first 30 minutes of the movie. Every single emotion was shown on the screen perfectly. But as the movie progressed, the amount of action scenes were just lacking. It could have been because they dimmed down the amount of action to reach the PG-13 rating from R. But dude, blood and maybe some more actions scenes was just needed in it all, done by the Black Widow herself, sorry I mean Lucy.<br />
<br />

<br />
I do not recommend it for people to watch it unless you are wanting another <i>UltraViolet</i> experience. It isn't even worth the Tuesday night movie deal, just wait for it and watch it on Netflix. Ending this off with a good note, props to Luc Benson for getting the iconic Choi Min-sik, it is good to see him on the Hollywood screen!!<br />

I come here on an annual basis, and they have never changed for so many years. The first time I came here was in 2006, with a large group of friends for a party, in the private room on the second floor. And annually I would come here with a group of friends, and they always accommodate us every time.<br />
<br />
I visited the establishment again, with another group of friends. They accommodated us as usual, and we had a great time too. We ordered drinks first, and I got a delicious Strawberry Slush, but too bad it was a virgin because I had to drive that night.<br />
<br />

<br />
Too bad it was kinda small for my size of a drink, but it was delicious. Then we all each ordered food, and I ordered Scallop Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Cucumber Sunomono, and Yaki-Soba. There was so much food, I couldn't finish it all and brought some home to enjoy it for mid-night snack.<br />
<br />

<br />
I loved the Scallop roll the most, because it was perfectly creamy, and I love the avocado the most as it added that perfect flavour for the roll. It was perfect part of the night as I was craving for some sushi. And I topped it all off with some Spicy Tuna roll.<br />

This roll was very different, because I wasn't expecting the avocado to be in the roll, but it gave it a nice light and refreshing taste to the roll. I did enjoy it though, but I wanted more tuna. And I wanted to get something refreshing for the night. I ordered a cucumber sunomono. It was sliced cucumbers, and tons of vinegar cold noodles. It was perfect for such a hot day.<br />

<br />
Next time I will order this again, even if it was on special. A perfect way to start off my night. Then I wanted something to really fill me up for the night and I ordered a Yaki-Soba for the night.<br />

I always tell everyone around the table I would use flash before I took a picture of this. It is courtesy to tell everyone first, but I had to take colours of this dish!! Couldn't finish this dish and took the rest home, and all I did was put it in the oven for like 5 minutes and it came out delicious.<br />
<br />
Will go back again to visit and put another picture on the wall, and draw on it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Me and my friends had to go check out the Midnight Pre-release event at Magic Stronghold this past weekend! The new set of MTG2015 had fantastic re-prints rares, and new rare cards that we wanted to get our hands on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a huge Magic The Gathering player myself, I had to check out the event, and I haven't gone to a Pre-Release since Lorwyn block and back then, the pre-releases weren't as popular as now, but back then, MTG didn't really have much of a business plan to see how their products would expand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This pre-release event was a Sealed event, and choosing 1 colour for 1 promo card. Each colour had different promo cards. This was the box they gave us for the starter deck. 5 booster packs, and 1 promo booster pack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, I chose White, and got <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Resolute+Archangel">Resolute Archangel</a>. In the box we also got a special promo card that has special rules to play against Garruk, The Slayer promo card. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a new way of playing your sealed deck against Garruk. Something special that Wizard of the Coast invented, and it's kinda fun when you have downtime during your matches. There was also a LARGE 8 feet standee in the store which had an axe. Knowing me, I had to take a picture with it, because it would be hilarious, and so I did.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This was my second time coming to Takifugu, and the first time I visited, I was extremely impressed with their fresh sashimi, and their delicious menu. I had high expectations this time on my second visit, and for sure they met every single one of them, and maybe raised it a bit higher as well.<br />
<br />
I visited with a large group of friends, last minute, because we had to show our friends from out of town, the best place for sashimi. And this place took our 20 people reservation 2 hours prior arriving.<br />
Even with the large group, the place gave us great service and the most delicious sashimi ever in Vancouver.<br />
<br />
Me and my friend shared and ordered the Sashimi Special of the night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EyE6AbXKjdU/U8QrKwWE0qI/AAAAAAAAE9U/dvFBUK36EnU/s1600/IMG_0017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EyE6AbXKjdU/U8QrKwWE0qI/AAAAAAAAE9U/dvFBUK36EnU/s1600/IMG_0017.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The dish consisted of Wild Atlantic Salmon, Toro Tuna, Ebi with Tobiko, Tai Sashimi, and Tsubugai Sashimi (Whelk). It was perfectly placed out on the large plate, and each piece would melt in your mouth, it was delicious. The fantastic part was that it was perfectly salted, so soy sauce was not needed at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On top of that sashimi plate, we ordered two Kajiki Nigiri (Swordfish). Just to fill the rice content of the night at a sushi place of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pOAE7lro-Zg/U8QxFG0yx3I/AAAAAAAAE9s/ZjxNfCmdrKQ/s1600/IMG_0019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pOAE7lro-Zg/U8QxFG0yx3I/AAAAAAAAE9s/ZjxNfCmdrKQ/s1600/IMG_0019.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Too bad the Kajiki was not 1 slice piece, I was a bit disappointed about that, but it was still delicious as it melted in the mouth. The taste was the same as I had last time, so it brought back fantastic memories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Coming to Takifugu is always a great time with friends, and eat delicious food. Oh, if you are to come here, it is hidden in a small little corner, so it is literally a hidden gem within Vancouver.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Guu Garden is one of those awesome restaurants that I go during a nice hot summer day due to their amazing patio outside, or craving for a GOOD authentic Japanese meal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My co-workers and I come here often on a nice summer day and order a jug of their special sangria! Their lunches are delicious and at a decent price too. So it is a great place to hang out for lunch. Sometimes during happy hour too, but the only thing is they don't have a Happy Hour special. BOOP :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b28yUFnmiKo/U2NVaFDz2pI/AAAAAAAAE2Q/FzKwMQx1C4A/s1600/0177abecfb8de638caf51ccf18aa6ee66ee8ebe341.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b28yUFnmiKo/U2NVaFDz2pI/AAAAAAAAE2Q/FzKwMQx1C4A/s1600/0177abecfb8de638caf51ccf18aa6ee66ee8ebe341.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="text-align: left;">The appetizer we ordered was the Deep Fried Calamari. They use a special Miso paste as the sauce. The calamari was extremely crispy and the miso paste gave a perfect saltiness to the calamari, and nice addition to the flavour. We added the lemon juice on top of it after a bite. The miso sauce was unique, but it was mixed with a good soy sauce to give it more liquid in the end.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I usually come to Guu Garden, I order the lunch set specials. Their lunch sets change on a weekly basis so it depends what it is mostly in the week. Their formulaic set is a miso soup, a small side dish, pickled food, and a rice dish with a meat (fish, beef or pork). The time I ordered was a Seared Pork Belly, and it was extremely delicious. The strong pepper taste gave the rice a good kick! It was light and quick, as we ordered, and it was simple and delicious. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Guu Garden is the place for a good authentic simple Japanese lunch or dinner. I will come back again this summer, and great times will be had!<br />

The location of this food cart is on Howe and Dunsmir, which is 4 blocks away from my work place. We would walk all the way down for their delicious lunches. They mostly serve sandwiches in the spring, but because they recently started serving rice bowls, I will be featuring this blog post to their delicious rice bowls.<br />

I ordered the Chicken Karaage Rice Bowl, which is off the menu and you have to ask. From what I heard, it's a popular dish that everyone wants. Yeah of course, if the chicken is perfectly cooked and deep-fried and delicious, I would order it! I love their fried chicken, because it's boneless, crispy on the outside, and deliciously steamy cooked on the inside. They offer a variety versions of rice bowls, but I had to get this one. I hope to try the others too. I will be dropping by their little food cart again. And I hope everyone does too!<br />

I have been to EXP Bar so many times that I never actually sat down and write a review on them. Shame on me, and since it is one of the places I hang out all the time too. So here is your review on EXP Bar!<br />
<br />
EXP Bar is special, because it is a gamer themed bar. They have video games to play while you wait for your table, with video gamed themed stuff playing on multiple flat screen TVs, and then a LARGE overhead screen for the whole restaurant. It's just a perfect place to watch all e-Sports gaming. Yes, I have come here multiple times for League of Legends viewings, and I LOVED it.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Onion Rings Poutine</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The onion rings poutine is delicious. I am so stunned by the extremely crispiness of the onion rings, and then the gravy was deliciously meaty, and the cheese was creamy and delicious. I was dying in the cheese curds. It is worth the price, and on top of that it is a great sharing plate too.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, their Pizza Flat-bread is one of my favourites on their menu. I love the tangy sauce, and the delicious salad on the top. This is a MUST HAVE at EXP. If you are feeling something Green, and still want some bread like substance, this is the perfect one for you. The price for this one is the best, if you want so many ingredients within 1 dish. YUMMY!</div>

This is the Trinity Burger. The signature burger at EXP Bar. The burger is three meats in one, a chicken, a beef patty and slices of bacon, with a side of delicious golden fries. I love the burger because there is SO MUCH MEAT. You will die after this plate. But I do approve of this delicious plate <3<br />

Finish off the night with this drool worthy Deep Fried Cheesecake. You have to get the Oreo icing. It is my favourite flavour of the three, and I have tried all three. From what I heard, EXP makes a fresh batch of Oreo icing every day.<br />
<br />
EXP have fantastic drinks, I will be making a separate post on it JUST for EXP Bar. Yes, that will be coming up soon, be excited!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading this long post and check out EXP Bar and Restaurant and say Dru told you to go!<br />

I have been following them on Twitter since they started, and Clement Chan being on Top Chef, yup, I was there! So the anticipation for wanting to give Le Tigre a try had always been there. Finally, I had a chance. Thanks to the <a href="http://www.dineoutvancouver.com/events/street-food-city/">Street Food City</a> event, I finally gotten a chance to eat Le Tigre!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My Co-workers and I headed down to Street Food City on the first day, which was on Wednesday, and the crowd wasn't as big, which was the perfect thing. The wait for Le Tigre wasn't long, so we got our food fairly quickly.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I ordered the "EAT STREET" shao bing, and that "FRICKEN" chicken. I saw the chicken being served in those mini Chinese take away boxes, so I might as well try them. Usually a medium sandwich would make me full, but I might as well try the chicken as well.<br />
<br />
The first thing I noticed about my chicken is that the aroma coming right out of it before I took a bite. That smell of delicious seasoning coming from it, I was already drooling. I quickly took a bite and I just went crazy. I went back down on that chicken until it was finished.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There was this aioili sauce given as well, but it's not 100% necessary because the amount of seasoning on the chicken was good enough to satisfy me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shao bing was very different from what I expect too. The taste of it really brought me back to China. The flavors were very nostalgic when I visited China when I was younger.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The meat brisket in the shao bing was perfectly made, and the slaw was just yummy. The flavour combinations is perfect. I love how it was a Chinese Pancake used, instead of typical bread. It was delicious. I would go down for another one anytime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That was my experience with Le Tigre, and I hope you would go visit them as well. Their food is delicious, and say Hi to Clement Chan! <a href="https://twitter.com/LeTigreTruck">Find them on Twitte</a><u>r here</u>.</div>

Featuring the mysterious theme of Night Circus Atlantis. It was full of Burlesque, Music and Theater!! It was so beautiful! Thanks to <a href="http://www.lindsaysdiet.com/">Lindsay Diet</a> for her fantastic photos of the night, you can check out more photos at her website!<br />

The night was filled with mischievous fun of cocktails, beers, vodka and gin. I love the venue because it's two floors and there is a nice stage too. Everytime I'm here, there is always something going on, like an event or some performances.<br />

The bar looks fantastic, and there is a second bar at the top of the stairs too. I loved this place, as it's big and it doesn't get too hot as well. I love the venue as a place to just party and hang out.</div>

We had tons of drinks over the night, and the cocktails were delicious. I added more vodka into my cocktails over the whole night, and grabbed some bites here and there. But I wish I could have eaten more in the night though.<br />

I have finally sat down and thought about the things I need to change for 2014. I know I am late, but it doesn't matter if you are on time for these things, as long you did them in my books. The following will be the top 5 things that must happen by the end of the year.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>1) Write on my blog, once a week.</b></div>
<div>
I want to start writing again. I really missed writing on my blog, and I never found a reason to. So now I will be writing stuff every week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2) Read every day for 10 minutes.</b></div>
<div>
I want to finish a couple books this year, but I need to start slow. So, I will be reading everyday for 10 minutes. I need to get back into the habit of my books.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3) Go for a walk everyday, for 15 minutes.</b></div>
<div>
Losing weight has been my biggest thing for the past couple years, so I am going to start slow, like my goal this year, and just walk.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4) Watch a TED video weekly.</b></div>
<div>
I need a way to get inspired, so I am starting to watch TED videos weekly. It's not hard, it just 5-10 minutes a video and some of them I have always wanted to watch, so I shall do that now!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5) Take more pictures.</b></div>
<div>
This year, I was lacking in so much pictures. I wanted more of myself out and about. Not enough content to filter through so I will be taking a lot more pictures this year!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is my New Year's resolution list!! I can totally do it, because it seems easy this year! WOOT!!</div>
</div>

I can for sure say 2013 has been a GREAT and exciting year for me. It has been the best for sure and looking back all the things I have done this year I have literally no regrets. Every moment, and every day I had such a great adventure and this is the post to WRAP and reflect on the great things this year!<br />
<br />
<b><u>January:
</u></b><br />
My 2013 year was started in New York City with Dru!! My best friend who lives on the other side of the continent. Dru and I have been greatest friends since 2005, and we have played everything together online. And we still are today. Thank you him and his mother for housing me during my time @ NYC! The trip to NYC was AMAZING!!<br />

Once I got back from NYC I had to celebrate with my MOTHER MONSTER on the stage of Roger's Arena, in Vancouver! She was visiting my home town, and I had to see her perform again! Waited outside in the cold for 8 hours, but it was all worth it. Ben and I rocked the night out at the concert and we had such a great time! :D</div>

Then a week later, a certain someone, came and visited Vancouver for a small trip and hosted a fantastic dinner, and having a last minute group Vancouverolla Meet-up! Gunarolla was one of those Youtubers who have changed my life! He for sure has changed a huge part of my life. January had been a blast and then moving on, Febuary proved to be better :)</div>

Working at GuySpy had been a huge blessing for me, and I was sent to Whistler in for Winter Pride! I had a fantastic time doing promotions, and met tons of great people along the way! I met the popular porn star Brent Everette. He was originally from Canada, and he now lives in LA! He came to Whistler for Winter Pride 2013! It was great to finally meet him. </div>

Had a fantastic time in Whistler with the Winter Ball. It was such a lovely night. Then back to Vancouver, my group of best friends, we went to Grouse Mountain for SnowShoeing! We had an adventure through the forest, and through the long snow trails. It was beautiful, and what made it so special was that in the middle of the forest, it was just pure silence. </div>

May was an amazing month because me and my best friends (The Greatest People You Will Ever Meet) went to Tofino for a get-away-trip. We went to Tofino for a whole week, and we lived like roommates in a lodge. It was hella fun, because it was cheap too! I drove from Vancouver to Tofino! It was such a great view and an adventure! We hung out everyday doing different things, we explored the beaches along our Province, we played nightless of boardgames, we baked brownies, and cooked delicious food. This trip was awesome from top to bottom.</div>

The busiest month ever for me. I went to a lot of events, and it was a very important month for me because a lot has happened. Starting from the beginning of the month, it was my brother's bachelor's weekend get-away in Whistler. So I went to Whistler with him and his Best Friends, and we hung out the weekend in a suite and had tons of fun. And of course, he attempted to go clubbing with me... seriously I don't party with my brother, he's knows why... >.>;;<br />

Then Sam Tsui and Kurt Hugo Schinder visited Vancouver for their leg of the tour! I was so happy to grab pictures with them in the middle of the town, and it was great to see them! I had to jump up to them to get pictures because they were right there! I had to take my chance with them, if not I know I wouldn't get a picture! I was so happy that I did!

<b><u>August:</u></b><br />
The moth of August started off with Pride with BC Superfriends! It was an amazing Vancouver Pride, and we had such a fun day at EXP Bar! Such a fantastic day with the whole group of Gaymers, and new players not within the Gaymer group! Meeting so many new people and a party full of drinks!<br />

This for sure was the adventure every year I must go! The weekend filled with games, League of Legends, and partying, because it is all for geek fun!! I love PAX weekend the most of the year!! It always is the best annual thing I do every year. I will make it a tradition now.<br />
<br />
<b><u>September:</u></b><br />
PAX just ended with a bang and the ending of my academic career was just around the corner. September was busy and packed with studying and hanging out with friends. Another wedding happened as well this year. My best friend Camilla d'Errico's wedding with Tristan!! You can check my previous post about more details on that!<br />

September was the month I joined IGDA (International Gaming Developer Association) and we threw a party at East Side Games!! The month was packed of planning and that the party was set for early October! It was all worth it in the end. Before the party happened I was at ZEDD's Concert in Vancouver!<br />

<b><u>October:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The foggy month of Vancouver. Every day in Vancouver it was foggy, and it reminded me of Silent Hill games, I was just lost in it. I loved every moment of the foggy days and it made me feel like I was in a fantasy land of horror. The IGDA party @ East Side Games was the best too!</div>

<b><u>November:</u></b></div>
November was suppose to be a quiet month for me, but that didn't happen at all. Many things happened in November, because it was the month of Lady Gaga's comeback from her 4 year hiatus with her new album ARTPOP!<br />

I was celebrating her album all year end long, even now. I just love the album a lot, it's EDM style and I just fell in love with it! ZEDD and Madeon produced some of her tracks, which made me love it even more! Then Chely, invited me to her Thanksgiving party at her place, filled with delicious food, and yummies! </div>

November was the month of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary! Ben and I went to go watch the special together at Tinsel Town, and simultaneous playing of the movie!! Totally worth the day out to go watch the movie! The atmosphere in the theater with other Whoviants was such a great time! The tears, the screaming, and the fans just going at the movie was the best time ever!</div>

The month was started off with many events at the office, but most of the time I was the only person in the office. It was fine because I didn't mind the nice quietness. Couple weeks into December I went to go watch Hannah Hart, Daily Grace, and Mamerie Hart. It was a fantastic show because I finally got to meet Hannah Hart since I have been watching her ever since on Youtube! Gotta love her spirit and her love giving personality!</div>

The greatest people I met, and they are just awesome in every single way. This is my wrap-up for 2013. Even though I had so many fantastic moments in my life this year, I spent most of them alone, reflecting in my own thoughts. Losing myself over small little things, and emotions that took my over. The people around me really helped me a lot, and thanks to everyone that was there for me this year. I appreciate you, and the things I did this year, had no regrets. </div>

I finally sat my butt down, uploaded my photos, and wrote about PAX Prime 2013! That took my literally 2 months to do. This year's PAX Prime was amazing. It was the event of the year I was looking forward to the most. I did a lot and got a bunch of free stuff back, like the usual. And I bought a lot of stuff as well. But this year I am extremely disappointed because League of Legends did not bring up their store. Which I would have easily dropped $300 at, and instead they decided not to put a store this year. The League of Legend's stage was amazing though, I loved it.<br />

This year I didn't spend a lot of time at League of Legends stage as much as I thought, because it is so enclosed in I didn't care for much of it. But the best part was meeting all the players that I love and adore so much! That was the biggest highlight of the weekend!</div>

I did so much, especially at the Nintendo booth, because I am a huge Nintendo Fanboy. I had to partake in everything Nintendo had that weekend. The Zelda WindWaker Adventures, Beyonetta 2, were the longest for that weekend. I grabbed the full pack of Pikmin 3 stickers and stuck them onto my bag!</div>

On one of the nights Ben and I went to the Magic of the Gathering party. It was literally a quest during PAX weekend, and to collect stamps in order to get an invite for the party. It was fun, and the party was extremely cool, because we got tons of swag on the way in and free food! Also, there was a preview of the Theros set, featuring the Elspeth storyline.<br />

Ben I went to the Final Fantasy 14 launch event at PAX Prime! It was such a great time because we could play Titan, which wasn't released yet, and they sold the game there as well! It was such a great time at the event! I got tons of pictures back from the event too.<br />

<div>
One of my favourite weddings of all time, a nice small wedding between family members and very close friends. It was worth the RSVP early this May to go to the wedding~!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was so excited for this celebration all summer long. The best thing is the date is exactly perfect, right after PAX Prime Weekend, and the Convention Tour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I LOVED the colour palette of this wedding. The colours were Tiffany Blue and Beige White. I was so happy to see a nice Tiffany Blue, since I adore that colour to no end.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The beautiful bridesmaids were all in beautiful Tiffany Blue dresses, and the flowers smelled lovely. The organization was quick, fast and painless. Well done Camilla.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I shall leave the rest of this post to pictures, as I can not explain every little thing. It was a fantastic day, and everyone was happy all around.</div>
<div>
~Congrats again Camilla & Tristan <3</div>

A very lowbrow bar with amazing cheap eats and cheap drinks! The only thing about this place is that it is a pub, so expect the place to be grungy and dark. The location of the pub is convenient too as it is located by a Skytrain and literally a block away from Gastown.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The Pint is special for their Pint of Boots. The fruity boots are served in glasses shaped like boots with a shot of alcohol in them. There are variety flavors for each boot and the boots just look awesome, especially drinking out of them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I had the Classic Perogies for the night. They were delicious, and perfectly cooked. They are pan fried, so it is a little bit crispy on the skin, but everything about them are white and perfectly delicious. The potato cheese inside explodes in your mouth as you bite into them. There are so much ingredients on top of the Perogies, it is just crazy! The chives are always fresh and perfectly bite sizes. The bacon is the best part of the Perogies.<br />

<br />
I give this place an amazing 8.5/10, as this place can get quite busy and the amount of people there gets annoying. But overall, the decor and the atmosphere is amazing. The service is perfect and the food/drinks are just my favorite part of the bar! Love it.<br />

Kingyo is one of my favourite Japanese Tapas restaurants in all of Vancouver. This place is always filled with amazing food and drinks. The décor is beautifully authentic, and the service is perfectly personal.<br />
<div>

The décor is very beautiful. The old wooden tables, and the chairs are comfortable. I love the small little cushions for your butt on the chairs. I find it a little funny. The bamboo long table in the middle of the restaurant looks beautiful in the environment. Kingyo has a very personal service for every single person that step into the restaurant The waitresses/waiters are extremely nice and personally tell you about your choices of dishes for the night. They are very knowledgeable about their own establishment (where they work) and some of the waiters are great for eye candy too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ordered their Sashimi Salad. Different types of fish cuts every single day, and I got albacore tuna, atlantic salmon, and yellowtail hamachi. The slices were perfectly cut, as each bite was delicious and fatty. The greens were fresh and the dressing was delicious. Three different types of dressing to go with each slice of fish. The dressing complimented each fish perfectly. My favourite is the albacore tuna dressing. It was tangy, filled with tobiko, and the acidity of the lemon really makes each bite better.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next dish I ordered was the Kimchi Udon, which was on special. The seasoning of the ramen was perfect as it mixed with the spicy kimchi. The udon wasn't slimy and wasn't stuck together, it was perfectly cooked. I enjoyed this dish a lot, but I could cook something similar to this at home though. So I wouldn't say it was anything special.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like every time I go to Kingyo, I have to order the Mackerel Pressed Sushi. I love their pressed sushi. I love their sauces on the top as it adds a sweetness to the dish. The mackerel has a lovely light grill on the top of them, and it's not 100% cooked, but still raw and delicious. Don't try to finish each sushi piece with one bite. It is not worth it, just slowly take it in, and enjoy it slowly.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For desert, we had to get their famous Matcha Brûlée!! It is the perfect desert to end off the night of delicious food. I love the thick taste of Matcha in each bite. The delicious burnt sugar on the top of the matach block just adds the sweetness. The mint leaf and the whip cream was a perfect addition to the mix. This is one of my favourite must have on their menu. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, I am rating this place a stunning 9.5/10! Their food is what I want it to be, most of the time. Their service is great and their décor is beautiful. Going back again for sure.</div>

A small little cafe located on Davie Street, owned and run by a very dedicated Japanese Chef. This little cafe has been here for little bit less than a year and the success of this popular little cafe is very well renown. I am not surprised since their food is delectable, and the waffles are SOOOOO <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82utG7Q3G_k">FLUFFIEEEE!!</a><br />
<br />
My co-worker, Garth, introduced me to this amazing place. He said, they have amazing Waffles. Knowing Garth, I always trust him with food. We went on a lunch break, and when we arrived a nice "Welcome" was given to us. There are only two people that work here, the Japanese Chef owner, and his pretty lady barista. It is a small cafe, with a small under cover patio. The cafe is just perfect for a nice lunch and a refresher from work.<br />

I ordered a Wasabi Tuna Waffle Sandwich. The flavour is creamy, tangy, smooth, and the wasabi is the perfect touch to the end of a bite. The sandwich is filled with tuna bits and the waffle is extremely fluffy. The waffle is in a perfect size for a sandwich, and the white edges have a perfect crisp when biting into it. I loved this Wasabi Tuna a lot. It is delicious and the quality of the ingredients are perfect! Yummy!<br />

I returned to the cafe and got a Hoisin Waffle Sandwich too. This time the waffle was a bit burnt, and mushy. The waffles wasn't as crispy as I had the first time, but the fluffiness of the waffle is kept. The flavours are still there, so I wouldn't mind if the crispiness was lost that time. The flavours of the ingredients reminded me of a Bahn Mi. The amount of pickled carrots, the sweetness of hoisin, and the meatballs is a perfect mix.<br />
<br />
I will be coming back here for lunch visits! I love this place a lot. It a perfect get away from the office for lunch, and the price is perfectly decent too! Of course, me being the Japanese culture lover, this place is perfect for me too! I give this place an amazing 9.5/10!<br />

This place has the most flavourful donuts you will EVER eat. These fresh, locally sourced, and made donuts are to die for! There are so many different types of donuts. This time I only got like 5 flavours in total.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Me and my friend walked towards Cartems Donutier after a lunch meet-up. I ordered 7 donuts in total so I could bring some to the office and share.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ordered all the seasonal ones for the day, and starting from the top left, I got Citrus Blast, Bacon Glazed, Earl Grey, Pumpkin Spice, Bacon Glazed, and Sugar Cinnamon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Citrus Blast, was one of the freshest donuts I have ever placed in my mouth. The yellow lemon zest really gives that heavy punch to it. The taste of the sweet orange comes out through the dough. The flavour mixed perfectly with the glazing sweetness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Bacon Glazed was delicious. Sweet and salty savoury is one of the best combo ever. The creaminess of the glaze mixes perfectly with the amount of sweet and savoury this donut has to offer. I really enjoyed this donut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Earl Grey was not as special as I thought. I can really taste the heaviness of the tea and the ingredients, but I thought it was too sweet for my taste. The glaze was too much in my opinion, but the colourful petals really added the touch of beauty to it though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Pumpkin Spice is my favourite of ALL of the donuts. That first bite into the ginger pieces were AMAZING! Then the flavour smooths out towards the pumpkin sweetness and there was that cream glaze on top of the donut was just perfect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last one is the Sugar Cinnamon. It was a perfect sweet, but the cinnamon was lost in the creaminess of the donut itself. I really couldn't taste the cinnamon, but it was extremely sweet. The crispiness of the glaze and the soft fluffy center of the donut is amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am for sure coming back here to buy a lot more donuts. They are considered to be a pop-up shop, so they are only there for a limited time! Go drop by and say hi! It is seriously worth the visit to grab a couple boxes home!</div>

I can still taste that juicy lamb as of today. The amount of flavours, and the juice from the lamb will always be remembered. The bread just soaked up all that juice, and the mustard just adds the perfect kick to each bite in that amazing sandwich.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B7ClT2JODCA/UHthpcPgqcI/AAAAAAAADk0/X0TnXxl7_1w/s1600/photo+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B7ClT2JODCA/UHthpcPgqcI/AAAAAAAADk0/X0TnXxl7_1w/s400/photo+%25282%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I was meeting up with a good friend of mine, who works downtown as well. We haven't seen each other for a while now. I decided we should go to Meat and Bread for a meet-up. And of course, me, haven't been there since opening night, it has been busy like crazy. The lines were long the amount of people trying to find seating at the place was just impossible! I had to go there again since opening, and I heard they opened another one as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The decor of the place is hipster. I don't like it as much as I would think because, I am really not into that whole "hipster" fad. I am just trendy and geeky. On the walls were hanging heads of animals, and the old white tiled floors, with "old" mirrors on the walls with a tall communal table. There were old white lockers at the back the restaurant, with really weird decor that I would not put in my house at all. And they jar of water was an "old" water can, it was just not my style of place to hang out at all...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tpMl5gp1Jjc/UHthrlJtgiI/AAAAAAAADk8/crm9W0cBfSA/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tpMl5gp1Jjc/UHthrlJtgiI/AAAAAAAADk8/crm9W0cBfSA/s400/photo.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Regardless, it is a restaurant, so I went for the food. The food is just such a big contrast to the decoration and atmosphere of the place. Once you enter after the long line up from outside, you will see where all the action happens, a person will be cutting the meat in the front with tons of bread just piled along the side of the glass plane, and the crunching of that pork skin was just awesome!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-haDI8Ow463A/UHthmMqoNsI/AAAAAAAADks/vi37mjzu2ic/s1600/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-haDI8Ow463A/UHthmMqoNsI/AAAAAAAADks/vi37mjzu2ic/s400/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would for sure come back to this place for an amazing time with meat and bread. mmmmhmm<br />

This is David Choi's 4th time in Vancouver, and Clara's 2nd time! It was so great to see them again, and performing their hearts out to the fans of Vancouver.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I do not like how the Vancouver show was 1/2 shorter and longer filled with random marketing stuff to the viewers. I do not pay for a concert to see a lot of random advertisement. I hate that. The show in Seattle and Portland was much longer, with a better set list too by Clara and David Choi. I am pretty angry about that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I met David Choi again, and welcoming him with an opening hug and catching up with him is always good! First time meeting Clara, she is so cute. She is truly the performer that I wanted her to be. She just rocks out to music sometimes, she doesn't need to sing for it to become music. She jams a lot, and I love that from a musician. </div>

I had to get a personal photo with David Choi, as every time he comes up here, I always get a photo with him! It is so good to see him again. I just love jamming out to his songs in the front row and just sing.</div>

The set list for both of their performances. The one on the left is David Choi's and the one on the right is Clara C. Clara's is on a napkin. It was so cute, and it was taped onto her piano, but I asked Taco, the bassist for the band to get me the set list! It was amazing!! David Choi just threw it to me at the end of his performance on the stage! Thank you to him always! I am always so happy to see him every time he comes to Vancouver! Always supporting him, and always listening to David Choi.</div>

The end of their performance, they came out to sing "Darling it's You" as a duet to finish off the night. It was a stunning performance, and I loved it. I hope to see David or Clara again when they come to Vancouver. I will be there, for sure!!</div>
