This topic probably shows that I don't have anything interesting to say:).
We went to Earls for dinner and the Canucks (Vancouver ice hockey team) were playing. I don't understand the rules of the game but it's pretty fun to watch. Every 10 t0 15 minutes there is a fight between both teams. Somebody from team A hooked a guy from team B, or they just start punching each other, for no reason (probably with a reason but a reason I don't understand). But besides that it is actually cool to watch.
Yesterday we went to the Canadian Superstore and they had the most cutest Elmo I've ever seen (you know,...

Conclusion of the day: I'm totally out of shape. (moment of wishful thinking: not for long!!)
For those who don't know the meaning of a boot camp (or for those who know the incorrect meaning of a boot camp). Boot camp refers to a military recruit training. No, I did not join the army because I was desperate or something like that. Boot camp is a word that Canadian people use to refer to sport classes. ( for the computer people among us, it has nothing to do with Apple).
So now we got this out of our way, I'm going to tell you guys about my experience with my first boot camp. I actually hate classes...

Today was a sunny day in Port Moody. Since we could only go to Fright Night at 6pm we decided to take a walk. There is a trail that starts not far from our apartment. It's a rather short one, but definitely worth doing.
It's a trail along the the bay and the path you are walking on, is a wooden path, so you feel like you are walking in the "Hoge Venen" (at least I felt like that:))
We were standing on some kind of platform and watching the shoreline and then suddenly somebody said: look there are some bear paws next to the water. So since it was still low water it meant that the bear had probably...

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
We went to a bar on Friday night and we met some guys (2 locals and 1 Mexian guy) and I have to say we had fun. We didn't plan on staying all night (we actually just wanted to have dinner and after that go home and watch a movie). But we started talking to those guys and 4 beers and 3 Coronas later we decided to head home:) Although it was raining, it was a pretty nice walk:).
Today we returned our rental car and after that we went shopping for some sporting clothes. So I've bought some weights, a yoga mat and some clothes. Of course I can't forget the household...

Well I have to say that my pumpkin turned out pretty cool. Below you can see the result. For those who can't see what it is. it's a cat:p
I will probably make some more next week (maybe try out some more difficult patterns).
Besides that I also subscribed for some dance/fitness class which takes place every Tuesday and Thursday in the Canoe club. It's a combination of Tae Bo, fitness, ... Looks cool, intense and exhausting but cool, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I'm also thinking about doing some martial arts again, but I'm not sure which discipline to chose yet, let's see what comes up in the next...

Today I've bought a pumpkin and a carving kit. I was prepared, at least I thought I was. I was planning to make soup with the leftovers of the pumpkin, but then I got home and I realized that I didn't have a hand blender... So, I just got back from the mall and I've bought myself a blender.
Tomorrow I can start.
In the pictures you can of course see the pumpkin, the hand blender and the pumpkin carving kit.
It's really amazing the things they have to carve pumpkins. A mini drill, saw,... I'm going to try to carve a cat in the pumpkin, I will probably fail miserably and try several times....

We went to a local pub this evening, tried to socialize a little bit. No, just kidding, we just wanted to do something instead of sitting at home. Not far from here there is a pretty cool pub so we decided to take a walk.
I asked for a martini and Kris asked for a beer. I'm normally not a martini drinker but I thought I'd give it a shot. It turned out pretty nice: orange flavored martini.
After the martini I decided to be a good girl an order a regular Sprite, apparently, the guy didn't approve so he served me an unknown drink.
It was another martini but with apple liquor and cinnamon and some...

Yes I know, it's probably the biggest cliche, but what else do I keep myself busy with...
Well I've bought myself a few dvd's of Sex and the city. I was thinking: I can't send resumes and cover letters all day long so I had to find something else to do. (Except for going to the fitness everyday (well at least, that is one of my resolutions), and of course the cool job searching.
Everybody has probably seen it for a thousand times but I just got addicted to it. It's a nice serie and pretty funny.
Something totally different now, Kris has finally got his pc, so soon, you will be able to read...

This morning after our breakfast (with a boiled egg and some orange juice) we've made our backpack (lunch, drinks, spray and camera). We arrived at Buntzen Lake around 12:15.
We decided to start wit an easy hike, so we did the Buntzen Lake trail. The book said the trail was 8km long and it would take us 4 to 5 hours to complete it. The maximum elevation gain was 100m.

We totally changed our plans for this weekend. I did go to the career fair, but it wasn't what I expected it to be. But since we were in North Vancouver (because of the fair) we decided to visit the fish hatchery to see salmon jump upstream. Pretty cool actually. I've made a movie with my mobile, but they are jumping so fast that you can't see it:) A bit useless to post.
We also bought a tree for Freggels today, just to make him feel at home. It's a scratch pole and apparently it's made in British Columbia. So I think that also Freggels got settled.
About the change of plans, normally we would...
