today, im going to write my first yaletown lunch outing, though i wonder how long i can keep this out

i went to falafel town on granville, i havn’t had a sharwarma for a long time, so me and dave went and got some lamb sharwarma at falafel town, with a “best in town” sign, that’s why i chose it, in short, the lamb was ok, not really a lot of meat and veggies inside (boo urns), but definitely not enough sauces, it was not the best in town for me, i don’t know why, the one at SFU was so much better in my memory, even though it’s probably the same lol

(and then when i walked out of the store, i stepped in semi hardened cement lol, the construction guy totally saw it and had to go redo it, fail me)

the first place i went was japadog, but i dont even need to write anything about it, if you havn’t had one yet, man you’re missing out, they did have a new flavor when i went – okonomi, and it was yum, it’s basically okonomiyaki toppings on your hotdog, cabbage / dried fish thing / okonomiyaki sauces, i wish i had more cabbages though, might be a bit expensive – 6.25 or 6.75? cause it also come with kurobuta dog, which to me, didn’t really make any difference, kurobuta dog not worth my extra 1 – 2 dollars, if you’re adventurous go for it, if not, terrimayo is always default

it’s been about 4 years since i did it, but on sunday, i went diving with luke (at whyte cliff), took the dry suit specialty course (with a quick refresher since we didn’t do any diving ever since), just like last time we took the first course, and man, all that stuff you have to wear, is so freakin heavy ;/ but dry suit is pretty different, it was a lot harder to keep neutral buoyancy, i probably trampled some starfish or poor sea creatures, didn’t see that much else down there either, a few crabs, some jelly fish etc, and i totally didn’t wear enough layers hahah, i went with 2 layers for top and bottom, and 1 pair of sox, my instructor came with 4 layers of top, 2 or 3 layers of bottom, and 4 pairs of sox lol, atleast i didn’t struggle as much this time, but in the end i was super tired, maybe i’m just too weak, after the course was over, i was so ready to crash

and i did, i slept at 5 something pm, all the way til this morning, gg

f my life

about a month ago I bought Final Fantasy Tactics for my PSP on ebay for 26 bux, I already have it on PS but it’s one of those must haves, but when I received it I got a greatest hits copy and not the original black label copy, so I was a bit upset about it, few days later I was at bestbuy on cambie (when greg bought his creative media box thing for tv) I saw they had one last copy of the same game with black label, so being trixy I decided to buy it and then return the copy I got from ebay so “swap” them, that weekend I went to surrey and I successfully returned the game and I was super happy, I just left right away and I called my gf and told her I did it, I owned bestbuy. Yesterday morning I was checking my visa bill for last month’s receipts, my visa showed that I bought the game for 45 bux at cambie bestbuy, and I also BOUGHT the game at surrey bestbuy. FML.

day 2 of 3rdi

it’s my 2nd day at my new job, everything is changed! small company! i’m using a mac! i’m working with someone i know from school (yay dave)! but there’s still puppy in the office so that’s still fun

so that’s the end of my 3 weeks vacation, i cleaned my room twice, cleaned my bathroom once, i went away to san jose for 8 days – quick recap on my san jose trip: i went to premium outlet 3 times (gilroy x2, napa valley), went to santana row in san jose, montery bay / 17 miles / carmel, san francisco, santa cruz, napa valley, stanford, played mahjong like 7 out of 8 days, result? i spent too much money, as usual

more to come, maybe, mac is fun, 24″ mac is in my face
