February Photo Diary

by Carmen Cruz

A random collection of some of the pictures I've taken over the past month using my iPhone.





Abandoned rusty old ladder on a beach.

















View from Point Grey. The rain had finally passed.











Abandoned stairway to heaven?














Pumpkin steamed bun from T&T. While the idea sounds delicious, in reality, it most certainly was not :(













This is one of the reasons I love Vancouver. Finding random things like this posted throughout the city (near Broadway & Oak) just kinda makes your day.








Enjoy.

Photo Diary *Edmonton*

by Carmen Cruz

Edmonton: It's cold, it's dry, but it's filled with incredibly friendly people. Here are some highlights from my trip there.




Flying over the Rockies. Pretty amazing huh?











The Santa Maria in West Edmonton Mall (WEM).
I think it's hilarious how whenever I say I'm from Edmonton, the first thing people say is, "Oh! So you used to go to 'The Mall'? Is 'The Mall' really that big? Are you planning on going to 'The Mall' when you go back to visit?".  Truth be told, most people from Edmonton tend to avoid going to WEM, especially over the holidays. It's pure chaos. Believe it or not, there's so much more to Edmonton than 'The Mall'.




                                                                      There's this amazing cafe in Edmonton called 'Duchess Bake Shop'. While I was there, I came across this amazing replica of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. It's exactly a 1/100 scale replica of the real deal, and it's completely edible. It's made entirely of gingerbread.The windows were made of sugar glass and the roof was tinted with white chocolate. All the gargoyles were replaced by gummy bears. CoooOOOoooool!!!!




And finally....

You know what it's like when you invest money in something truly unique, beautiful, and hand made for your home. You just wanna keep it in near perfect condition, right?
One of my brothers purchased a custom, hand made dining room table. Needless to say, the table turned out absolutely gorgeous.
Here's the thing. My brother has become completely neurotic about the table. He gets all tense whenever anyone puts a cup, plate, or piece of cutlery down on the table "too aggressively" (his words, not mine).  It was starting to get a bit out of control. At one point, we were all eating in the living room to avoid my brother's stink eye. As a joke, we all got together and purchased something for him, which we left on his beloved table.....

The 'Do Not Put On Table' Cake.



Ha.















Enjoy.

Photo Diary: Arrow, Mexican Food and Mr. Sandwich Head

by Carmen Cruz

A Week In Pictures.

The WB show 'Arrow' is in full production mode and the hours can be super long. Lucky for us, the directors periodically park food trucks on the lot for an all you can eat shin-dig. Nice.

Arturo's Mexico To Go (Food Truck). See? There's Arturo himself!!! :)




 Arturo's Mexico To Go was BEYOND amazing! You've gotta try the Tacotino.

The TV show 'Arrow' takes place in Starling City. The new Starling City police cruisers were just delivered to our lot. Looks like these cops roll in style  *insert impressed whistle sound here*.
















Mr. Sandwich Head (or so I like to call him) was hanging out in Yaletown over the weekend for the 'Candy Town Celebration'.  The streets were filled with vendors hocking the same crap, food carts with overpriced carnival-style treats, and there were a total of 3 free family activities (with massive lineups, of course!). Overall, it was meh.
Either way, Mr. Sandwich Head says 'Haaaaaaaayyyyyy'.
How bad would it suck if the person who wore this headpiece before you had had a massive Caesar salad? *gag*


This is why I don't eat beef jerky. All natural ingredients? Yeah right.
DO NOT EAT!

Photo Diary: Sexy Bitch???

by Carmen Cruz

Today: A silver Dodge Charger weaving in and out of traffic on Commercial Drive had this lovely little decal...


... in case you can't see it, it's a pic of what appears to be a woman pulling down her pants to show off her prized Dodge Ram logo that's tattooed on her ass. The caption above and below says "Sexy Bitch". How witty/cheeky!

The confident gal driving this estrogen fueled car must have no problem with the gents.
Nope, no problem at all.

Enjoy.
