it’s been a year since the last surfing trip, the 2nd annual surf/camping was last weekend at tofino again, with all the couples (jen-eric/nay-lo) and new one! (mich-nick, someone can come up with a name for it) this time we got smarter, and i booked bella pacifica way back in january for a spot, i have to say, it’s not a bad campground, although the spots we got were pretty tiny, if you somehow able to get the beach front ones – they are literally at the beach front, you just have to take the stairs down and there’s sand, it’s totally awesome, and expensive for camping ($50 something plus fees per night?), anyway, i was happy with ours, close to bathroom and water and the front, it did get super cold at night, and i think i really should just get air mattress for camping next year, even though i don’t like it, it’s probably better than having backpain when you wake up, on top of the headspins

Tofino 07 2008

and go mazda3, i only use one tank of gas for going there AND back, driving took about 2.5 hrs, and it’s actually fun – up and down and windy, if you don’t have to drive at 6am. last year we didn’t bring enough food, this year we got way too much, nick was awesome at planning and cooking food, thanks dood, and yayer for cooking over fire with skewers, it works for everything but giant breakfast sausages

surfing’s still super hard, but atleast we had awesome sun this time, and no lesson this time = 6hr rental fun and less $$!

and carlo sux at cards, ha ha

pics on flickr!

oh btw, remember that ad in the chinese buy sell for the “special” massages, and had a picture of this asian chick, here’s her pic in colors (melody. – dreamin’ away)

maybe she’ll sing to me too while massage

put in to this, but i’m not done yet, i think i like it so far, have to figure out what to do at the top and stuff, and the comment part is all messed up still haha >< i almost bought a new computer this morning from ncix, but i stopped myself, andy must stop spending money randomly, even if it’s a really really really good deal (4gig ocz pc6400 ram 49.99 evga 8800gt 512mb 99.99), it’s ok starcraft 2 diablo 3 sims 3 won’t be out til next year, i’ll go fight it out on boxing day, and then i’ll get a 280 gtx, or as jason says, go big, TWO gtx cards for sli extreme, oh and congrats on your new place~

my gf calls me a monkey because i havn’t got a haircut in like 2 months…

right, so i wrote something last thurs, but i never published it, and then i just forgot >.< there’s a few things i wanted to write about but i think i’ll just keep it short. i went to eric’s new place in port moody on the weekend, it’s so nice, it’s so close to the water – rocky point or something (ioco rd/murray st), but it’s crazy too his area has like so many residence being build, and there’s a high rise too, and errbody share this mega club house

and then will got me vista ultimate, yayer for him, my comp doesn’t crash anymore, i dont know why, but yay

and yesterday i found super cheap tix to fly to toronto and montreal, westjet had a sale $99 each way, and then 15% off north american flight = ~$85, soooo awesome, after tax and fees it’s about $370 for round trip – which usually that’s how much one way costs, so me and racquelle are going now, end of aug, yay! now i gotta find out all the cool places to go, and cheap places to stay, probably stay in hostel so save mula, maybe we’ll meet cool people, or rude french ppl, or hot french girls

it’s also fun to confuse jason in the morning by sending random messages to him, cause he’s a bum for not coming to tofino, AGAIN

todays’s stats:

  • level of wind spell: 5
  • number of times my legs got pierced by dust storm: 2

freakin super strong wind today, cause me extra 3 min of biking, and made me super tired

my house to work is about 17km, it sounds kinda far, kinda not, and it takes avg 50 min, it’s flat in richmond, all uphill from 70th (after oak bridge) to 41st, and downhill all the way to work pretty much, to do some comparison, 17km is equal to about

  • stanley park seawall twice (8.8×2)
  • alderbridge/shell rd onto hwy 91 to 72 ave exit (16.7)
  • sfu to 152nd exit (17.2), or surrey house to langley ncix (14.9)
  • surrey house to wills (3.1) then to romos (+1.8) then to brans (+3.5) and back
  • surrey house to white rock (15.9), or to the border only when there’s ~2 hrs line up

so bike and stop driving

today’s stats:

  • time to work: 48:52.9
  • time going home: 53.29.9

go get ur iphone! and get 6gig data for $30, that’s better than what they announced before, you can watch ~6200 min of youtube with 6 gig apparently! although if they had something like 50 – 100 meg for $5 i totally get that instead

most people that visits my site probably knows i have flickr, flickr pro account is really cool, i mean i usually dont like to pay for things when free accounts are avail, but having unlimited uploads and sets, and seeing your stats is fun, i dont know, i like it, better than putting money in some mmorpg ;p

i dont get a lot of hits or anything, and i dont really care, but there’s always random things that i find interesting. my #1 pic all time, as always, is my awesome ebi-chan calendar, although me riding my gs500f is getting lots views too, already #2 all time, with most views in the last week or 2, i have a picture of sasha cohen from stars on ice that got lots views too from all the skating fans? the one thing i dont get it, in the recently uploaded batches – manning park and canada day, the most popular pics are both pics of romo

with the same pose almost, standing there, showing his sexyback *i think someone’s been checking you out mike, or they’re just checking out ur cargos*

me and racquelle and will made super curry pot yesterday, with all ingredients and minimum sauce, and it was goodon, but we also watched a chinese movie “three kingdoms: resurrection of the dragon” or something, and it sucked ass ;/ we also walked like 8 km, stupid will, go buy a bike

and my rating in mario kart went up like 1000 cause we played so much, mario kart wii online is awesome

what did i do over my 4 day weekend? not much at all, not even riding ;/ watched wanted and kung fu panda, esp kung fu panda, i didn’t go blind from over-exposure to the pure awesomeness of those movies, but they were pretty awesome, 1. angelina jolie, 2. look at these keywords on imdb for kung fu panda – teeth knocked out, hit in crotch, dumpling, overeating, exploding body, and so on

went to the steveston salmon festival on canada day, omg it was insano packed, i swear ppl were parking by my gf’s place to walk there (about 30 min walk), and it was a festival, sooo many ppl, sooo crowded, must have like 100+ lined up for salmon, but it was fast, i mean look at this awesome bbq style

that was my $12 brunch, after that went swimming with will – oh btw yayer will for moving to 5 min away from me, and then we ate some steak and shrimp, and the luke and romo came over, and we had canada day all you can eat jap food fest at Ninkazu, $20 all you can eat including beef tataki and shrimp tempura > steveston salmon festival $12 salmon > abalone seaweed sushi + lobster sushi
