Hope everyone had a great day whether you celebrate Easter and or celebrate the chocolate that is now related to Easter.

Today’s just been a heart wreaked mess, it starts out with getting a text message from my dad around 7am mentioning that my Nana had fallen last night around midnight, my dad wasn’t sure if she fallen as she was heading into bed or fallen heading to the washroom… my Nana couldn’t remember. With that fall she did a pretty number on her forehead and wrist. The doctors were questioning if it was broken or not.

After a nice visit, my mom and I went to a family friends for dinner, just before dinner one of their cats just went into their room and died in his sleep, he was a healthy cat too.

Now I’m questioning what’s gonna be the 3rd thing that’s gonna happen.

But with all of this happening I do not take life for granted, I treat every day like its my last one. Cause you never know.

What a rush

Days prior to the Olympics people were mentioning on twitter that they never heard so many different languages as they were walking around. When I heard that I was just shocked, as Vancouver is a multicultural city just like the rest of North America. Maybe they just been living under a rock all these years.. Who knows? I remember being six years old at Expo 1986 and being amazed at all the different cultures and whatnot and then again 10 years later when Vancouver hosted the World dragon boat championships, so I got to see all these different cultures once again getting together and take part in something they love. This is why I love this city as we are all so different.

I maybe a very proud Canadian with a maple leaf tattoo but I support every athlete out there whether your have a mega sponsor(s) like Shaun White of the USA or those athletes who taking time off work and paying out of your own pocket to attend the games.. Like most of the parlympics athletes had to do.

With that being said, I do believe that the Olympics and the Paralympics has changed us Vancouverites (and maybe even the rest of Canada) in a big way, As I’ve never seen Vancouver so bubbly and so patriot like our neighbours to the south. Where ever you went you heard a huge crowd people singing our anthem or a small group of people signing theirs. There was always someone in that crowd of red and white wearing their nations flags as a cape. This is a once in a lifetime event and it was priceless and just awesome. Only thing I am not looking forward to is the paying off the debt.

The highlight of the Olympics games for me would have been when we broke the 34 year curse of not winning a gold on home soil, and for every athlete being able to make it to the Olympics and doing their personal best. And talking to US Bobsled Elena and Canadian Luger Chris. Continue reading… » »
