Work. Game. Beach.

WORK 

...is great. People are so nice. I'm working on 3 different projects at the moment - one being a small residential renovation, one is an automall in Burnaby and the other is a Recreation Centre on Vancouver Island. 

At lunch, I joined the Toastmasters meeting. Toastmasters meetings are setup to help people work on their public speaking skills. Our meetings last an hour. Different people are assigned different tasks such as introducing the word of the day, preparing inspirational speeches, giving a short talk with visual aids about a certain topic etc. and everyone is evaluated on a number of things: their confidence, the number of times they say "um" or "uh", their sense of humour and how many times they can incorporate the word of the day into their presentations. It's actually really fun. There's a group of about 10 people in my office who meet bi-weekly for these meetings. 

GAME

...was intense. I feel like all the games at this point in the series will be intense. Vancouver lost, unfortunately. I went to Doolins Irish Pub downtown with about ten friends to watch the game. Vancouver was losing 4-1 until the 3rd period when they really fought hard and ended the game 4-3. Still lost, but showed a lot of heart. At least they didn't embarrass themselves the way the San Jose Sharks did and lost their composure last game, losing 7-3 to Vancouver.

BEACH

...is beautiful at night. After the game, we walked along the seawall and eventually found a log on the beach and chilled there until almost midnight. The water was so calm. If I had had my bathing suit with me I no doubt would have taken a dip in the water!

Long weekend ahead!! Shout out to my sister Comet (who happens to be a golden retriever) - HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO!! :)
