Myers-Briggs + LOTR =

The last time I took a Myers-Briggs test was in the summer of 2012. I remember thinking that I was such a weird child because most of my results fell along a medium, or only tended slightly to one side, whereas my co-workers varied to one extreme or another. The administrator of the test kindly…

Climbing On

Yesterday I mentioned the climbing competition I attended in Coquitlam. No, I wasn’t climbing. But my cousin was and she was really cool. Let’s call her Lina. Don’t read on if you don’t want the fangirling. It’s rampant. Sort of.

Vancouver: Around Gastown

Or, y’know, Gastown, part two! Swan and I didn’t stop after seeing that dog, although that dog was really furry and I really wanted to pet it. I restrained myself though and we went on out of Gastown into the surrounding streets. But before I go on, a picture of one shopkeeper’s explanation for his…

Vancouver: Gastown

The keynote speaker at the Pro-D conference I was at on the past Friday was a blogger who had some tips for aspiring bloggers. Well, hello to you too, prime learning experience. One of the pieces of advice she gave was to blog about the place you lived in. And if it don’t beat all,…

Every time I see someone wearing jeans AND a denim jacket (like I did three or four times on the bus today), I wonder if they’ve fallen out of the denim tree. And if you got that you are a very cool person indeed. In other news: Today, I lost my phone.

Day of the Longboat

Also known as “Day of the Group Brunch Munch” or “Day of the Bloody Knees” or “Day of the Blue Ponchos.” Just over the past weekend a few friends and friends of friends competed in an annual UBC event, called you-guessed-it-’cause-it’s-in-the-title. If you’re too lazy to read the post though, just watch this over and…

The Definition of ‘Church’

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘church’? In the following article I discuss my experience with and thoughts on ‘church’ with the understanding that my relationship in Christ and with other Christians is always an evolving and growing process. To provide some context, I have been a Christian since the age…

Elementary Feelings

Monday was a great day. During the evening class (LLED 360) I was super hungry and managed to win a large sour soother for my poor tum by composing a passive sentence: The stomach was made hungry by the offer of candy. What’s more, my teacher asked me if he could share a piece of…
