after my birthday….

I think after yesterday I was little tired today… because when I went for my morning walk/run, I was mostly walking, instead of running, and that’s why I picked up some flowers on the way… I know that the tree can loose some flower petals… there are many sidewalks cover with them… but there was few small tiny brunches with flowers .. so I picked them up, and brought them home don’t they look gorgeous ?

flo

I was very dissapointed, that one of my friends forgot my birthday completely… or rather maybe ignored it… because I do not think  that he did not look at Facebook… and he was the one who will always remember, but hey sometimes we think they would remember, and they prefer not to… too bad… because I really thought he was my friend no matter what….

Otherwise I have had busy day, and today I need to relax a little… and thank you for all the wishes anywhere I got them emails, skype, MSN, Facebook and all others…

no alcohol at your age :))

I had my251 birthday yesterday… and I got few notes on HB.. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THEM….

It’s a great age and you should celebrate. Hope you are having a great day, but no alcohol please, not at your age…lol…..Love, Kevin xx

That was very nice and yes at 251 I should not drink anymore hehehe…

Burnaby Lake – my new place…

I went today to Burnaby Lake… living here for 22 years and not being there sounds bizarre… but what can I do?… I think, it must of been love to make me to go there… but seriously…

The Burnaby lake is a beautiful place, the parking is free, but very small… I was very happy to see it empty… when we went little further, there was a small pier… which goes into the lake.. the water there is not too deep, and very clear… so many ducks, any kind there.. the colors of those are spectacular too… no I did not have my camera again… but next time, I will go there, I promise I will make pics… to show you… and I am 1000 % sure I will go there again…  The ducks are used to people, when they see you coming, they expect you to have some kind of food for them… I think people spoil them, you can tell… some of them are confused, they went after me, and I was telling them to turn back, and go to people who actually had food…lol People in the park are very friendly, and I must say lots of older people there too… there are also parents with kids, to feed the ducks… I did not see any fish there… but there was few people on the  kayaks, and I think there had to be many young ducks too, because sometimes those mothers (ducks) will go furiously to defend, if something or someone was too close to their nest… one nest was actually situated very close to the pier, you can look at the parents ducks,  making sure that they have nice and warm nest… picking some feathers, and other things they found….

There is also a walkway around the Lake, but I do not think I would go around those 8km… maybe some other day …

On the other hand, on Yoville I need 4 crew members to buy my great house hehehe…. so anyone who want to join my crew is welcome… I take application daily hehehe… at least this program allows me to have fun, and be OUT in the sun… I go to HB sometimes, but I think I will delete my profile soon… because I do not want people to think, that I come for votes but I do not give them back… I just really do not have time… today for example I run in the morning, then I went to Burnaby Lake, after that I had my granddaughter and after that I relaxed… and I did not feel like going and pressing the button for few hours… lol… yes I know I felt few places down, I am amazed that I am still under 20th place, I should be in 500th by now hehehe… but heck, the weather is beautiful, and I love outside… everything is really coming to live… and it looks so inviting… so why spending time in front of computer….

Tomorrow my dentist wants to see me :( I hope I will not be frozen for a whole day (I am talking about my mouth, I know I need some work on two of my teeth… at least.. but hey its part of the life too…

To all, have a great weekend, I will try new places, and will become 251 years old on saturday… so I might have fun on that day… and I plan to go somewhere, before anyone comes… I think I am going anywhere earlier and earlier… and I love Kitsillano early in the morning… just for a jog so I might go there, but after 11 AM,  I better be home, because someone might come,  who does not want presents on that day…. but am I that shallow?… no…. I was talking about people who remember that day… and I think I will need to thank my MOM for having me in the first place… because without her I would not be here… she is the one who should get presents for having me…

Artists in Stanley Park…

when I went to Stanley Park, I saw few artists with their paintings…  they are always a part of SP, situated on the main walkway to the Aquarium… and they always have something different, some of them do the portraits of people and some sell their own art… there were only few of them that early in the morning… so I have only few pictures… and they can’t be too big… so I post them as big as I can….

art3

the first one is mainly nature and realistic things….

art4

second one you can tell he likes naked bodies….

art5

third one is a fun person for sure… so many colors, I think I would not put those kind of paintings on my walls, they will drive me dizzy…. just for the heck look at the close ups… of two of them,

art6

art71

The one underneath, are more likely the one you can put in the house without feeling like you are going crazy… unless you like the humor in those above, and you would like them anyway…. we people tend to like different things, what I might not like, someone will cherish…. but its not about liking those they are just to colorful, and too busy for me…

and this one is my favourite for sure :) )))

art151

it reminds me when I was younger… those all rehearsals… and ballet shoes…

Visit the park you might like some of those artists and there is nothing better than original painting done by someone on canvas… and sing by the artist… after all you never know they might become famous …

The colors of the SPRING…

I went looking for another place for me to relax and I end up in Stanley Park…. was I alone ? I will not tell… but look at the pic…

nice

Is it photo manipulation or real picture? You guys think I will make it mistery….

The Park I am talking about, went through some disaster, when we had some high winds blowing two years ago, and it like broke and killed so many trees and made part of the Seawall unavailable to even walk… now it is fixed, and you can again: walk, roller-blade,bike, run, jog, or just plain visit some places like AQUARIUM, LOST LAGOON, TOTEM POLS, CHILDREN FARMYARD, or take a ride on the MINIATURE TRAIN,   and many other attractions, you can also see many monuments it has… or just have fun in few places, like Second beach pool…. or  water Park… or have just a picnic there…

The weather today is beautiful, sun is in its full glory, all flowers are happy to see it, so they show all their best attributes… looking at it I thought how many colors are in the nature green, red, pink, white, blue, yellow, orange all kind of shades … its not the same as in summer, but I love Spring here… I think those cherry blossoms, magnolias blooming, and carpets of wild daisies, and other wild flowers are spectacular… so  thought I will share few pics here …. of the place called Stanley Park….

Those two trees in their shape reminds me a heart :) see where my head is…

one of those bridges we have few of them…

I even had a duck playing with me hide and seek lol

and one more picture which I thought it was funny how it came :)

that picture is a part of Aquarium, lots of fish and animals living in the water for everyone to see it, sometimes they have different exhibits… when I went one time they had Butterflies….

In conclusion it is great place for everyone and for couples too… there is so many places to just relax and unwind….

To all I hope you had nice weekend time for me to go off here and still enjoy the sun :)

Nice weather can change person mood….

I wasn’t here for few days, and I must say, no, I wasn’t in bed all day, or few days for that matter… we finally have a nice weather here, and I was busy outside enjoying it… I can’t believe how quickly cherry tree blossom, all sidewalks look like covered with snow… and so many flowers coming alive… ok, ok, I went into the mood of walking/running/jogging lol… so on the way, I see so much, in the front yards of people… and I must say,  people even though its early  in the morning, can be polite… some say good morning, some wish a nice day, some even say keep up a good work, when I am out of breath… generally there is lots of people thinking about their health and it is amazing… I always see this group of Chinese older women, coming and walking around the tennis court, or just exercise their way… it looks so nice, that even their age, they try to do things whatever they can… then you have groups of kids playing basketball, and lots of different people playing on 4 tenis courts… some are passing by, walking dogs, or just jogging, or even walking in groups … I wish people who smoke started thinking like those, who actually care about their health… never liked the smell of cigarettes, mind you my MOM, DAD, SISTER and her HUBBY all smoked, and we were in one house… I never liked it so I never learnt to smoke… so whenever I pass a person with a cigarette I chock… I wish smokers were doing this in their own homes, so no fumes will go to my body…. after all I do not want to be killed from second hand smoking… and the same with barbeques (BBQ)… I think whoever invented it, forgot that all fumes have to go somewhere… maybe someone will invent smokeless bbq… whenever my neighbours make one, all the fumes go to my living room or any open window…  I think when you have a house, you can control it better, but when you are living in the building, you can’t escape from fumes… and that is not only  a problem with  BBQ… I think the bigger problem is, that most of the houses in CANADA are build from wood, so its like big fire hazard to add BBQ in those… I wish someone thought before they made the law, to allow them in those building… I do not mind that people on the first floor can use them… but other than that, when you can’t control the flames, when you are in specific area…. you should not put people in hazardous situation…  yes, there are probably few people in the building, who have insurance, but most of the people, have enough for all other stuff, but not for insurance… so smart thing to do, is just not allow it…

On top of that, for the past few days I also did not go to HB..  I think that place would be fine, with few adjustments, but because for me nothing is happening, except me falling down… and no it does not bother me… I changed to YOVILLE it is kind of cartoon word, where you buy furniture, cloths, meet people, buy houses… play games, yes you actually have to interact with people, send notes daily… I think at least this one to me looks a little alive… and when you can put furniture and all other things your way, you can see so much creativity in people, how they take the same elements and try to make something else out of those….  and yes, there is lots of people, who know what they do, because some of them already have few houses.. I like gifts too, because instead of sending NAKED woman (like on HB in a message) you can send flowers. chocolates, c ase of beer, cloths,  furniture, even a doggy…. and they interact too, you have to feed any animal you buy… :)

I already posted few things, in one of the posts here, kind of instructions to the site…. which you should do there… and I must say I need at least 6 crew members,  any volunteers, I want to buy a house and need to have 20 crew members, I have 14 already….

I went for a ride too, I was close to the Burnaby Lake, but after last murder in the park I think as a woman I better not go somewhere where there is too many bushes and trees, unless I am with my guy :) ….

Otherwise I better go and report to factory to get my money hehehe…. in the YOvILLE game…

today agenda TENIS….

Today I thought I will have some fun, I was ready to go for a walk… great weather for that, sunny and kind of warm…. and when I was almost ready to go out, my friend called… I talked to her about walking with me, or playing tennis, but she was not bought on that… at the end of our conversation she said that she is coming to visit me… so I was fine with it… when she came, she had short shorts, sleeveless shirt and sneakers…..  I thought for a second, that last time I checked on my balcony it was not as nice to wear those kind o cloths  today… but heck she came by car…

In few minutes of being in my place,  she told me that we are going to play tennis… I was very happy, I wish they did the wall from cement so when people want to practise, they can do it on their own… without witnesses so do called, laughing at you… but heck we went there, I was good at serving the ball, she was good at hitting the ball anywhere, including over the fence into the park… I thought that, she would be great for those baseball people… anyhow… we were trying to find out how this works… so we had few too many laughs on our own… we even have had a guy who picked our ball and threw it to us.. I bet he had few laughs looking at us… but I did not care, I was having fun of my lifetime… yes so little is needed for me to have fun… but I also noticed, that every day is more and more people playing on the tennis courts we have… I think recession is making people realize, that free fun is the best one… and there is a lots of people like us learning something fun…  Furthermore, because we have tried that, we thought that we should get two bicycles and next time go for a bike ride… that might be fun too… but I did not ride bike for a long time (nowadays car is better lol you do not need to do anything almost…. and it goes), so I might need some practise in my underground parking, before I will make a fool of myself… nah, when you learn one time anything,  you can’t forget… you just need to find the balance again… lol

In conclusion, it felt good to be out and playing, no matter what consequences might be… yes I have some problems with my back, but I think, I want to do some stuff before my back will gave in completely… and if I have to take medication to keep up with my pain, then be it…. I do not want to think what will happen tomorrow though, because I might not be so happy about what I did to my back, but today I think it was time well spent like on the beach … almost… :)   beach is better for me:)

Anyone any advice ? those balls for some reason were avoiding my tenis racket :(

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ that is creative :)

I posted my new name on HB with this graphic made of ALT keysƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ and someone send me a note like this…

Hi Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ !

Thanks a lot for votes :-) Got yourself a new clavier ?? Can’t understand what it means :-)

Do have a great evening !! xx

First of all this one does not say to me, that this person did not copy and paste it… and actually noticed new name, furthermore even called it clavier for me doing it…. which made my day… but I need to confess the  nicely put graphic of  Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ I did not invented, I saw on someone Else’s profile, and I copy it….. because I love butterflies, and I think it was clever… I know if I really wanted,  I would make it on my own.. the same but it was ready waiting for me to copy it :) and it is so ME… and on top of that, fits perfectly in few characters we can use as nickname …. so hats off to the one I copied from, or to the one who created really :) now it made to think if I can make prettier butterfly on my own :) ))

I will go to ALT keys and see if I can do better job later, right now sun is still there I better enjoy it :) thanks for challenging me Alan :)
