Valentine’s Day 2023

Since Valentine’s Day fell on a weekday this year, we celebrated early on a weekend and on the day of.

Early celebration

We exchanged gifts early. I was gifted Pandora’s Mahjong Triple Dangle Charm and six roses to match the charm. The charm consists of three different mahjong tiles, each with the number 6. ^^

I followed a YouTube video and made a painting. It’s my first painting in about 10 years, and I’m really proud of how it turned out. I had a lot of fun painting it, and I plan to paint more in the future.

I loved doing art when I was younger, but I was recently hit with roadblocks and the discovery that I have aphantasia. I was angry that I have it, to be honest, and I felt that I had missed out on a lot… but that won’t stop me from making art.

I also made Monsters, Inc. chocolates. I loved the movie, and I love Mike and Sulley.

We went to Minami, a Japanese restaurant. The food was delicious! I ordered the Sablefish Lunch and would get it again.

We went to Catoro Café after lunch. You can see my blog post about it here.

Valentine’s Day

We saw Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends in theatres. It was amazing.

First-time things~

We assembled melon cream soda for the first time. I’m happy with the presentation. ^^

This was my first time baking something since Grade 8 Foods, and my first time baking sugar cookies. We shared the sugar cookies with our friends and family and received a lot of positive comments. We made six batches but they were gone really quickly. I’m proud. ^^

My Week in Pictures 3

It’s been a couple of years since my last Week in Pictures post.

For those of you wondering, yes, I am double vaccinated. Masks are not required indoors or outdoors in BC, Canada. I still wear masks when I go out (minus restaurants and secluded areas). I actually double mask and avoid places where there are a lot of people.

I loved the mango roll and aburi sushi. Everything was so fresh.

I got the Original pork loin and tried a bit of my friend’s Double Cheese pork loin. The portions were huge and the meat was crispy.

I finally got a hair cut! Just in time for the current heat wave, too.

I found three four-leaf clovers this week. You can find me at my Instagram clover account @misswaves

One Piece

I ordered a One Piece paper theatre kit. This is the iconic moment when Shanks gave Luffy the straw hat! Pictures of the process are posted on my Instagram. @misswavescosplay

I’ve placed it next to my Shanks figure (not shown).

All of these pictures were posted on my Instagram, but I thought I would post them in a blog format.
