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.

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

First day of Reading Week

I have a week off from school but I still have to study a lot. Here are a couple of photos from today. These are photos taken with my new phone without editing.

I ate a lot of sushi today, but this was beautiful. :’)

The lights at night are so pretty! A lot of people take photos of them.

Food Adventures 2 (Vancouver)

I wrote this post to talk about some food I’ve eaten in Vancouver, but I might as well show photos of some of the other foods I’ve eaten with my friends.

Sushi burrito:

This is a combination of sushi and a burrito. It is sushi in the size of a burrito. What I liked about it is that you can choose your own fillings. It was really good! I think that it is worth getting to try out for the first time, but I would not buy this too many times because it is a little pricey. It was about $10. Regular sushi is a lot cheaper and a burrito with rice, beans, and meat is more filling.

McDonald’s waffle fries (for a limited time in Canada):

If you live in Canada, I recommend that you get this soon because it is only here for a limited time. It’s about $3. I finished this pretty quickly and I think that regular fries are more filling. I still recommend that you get this because it’s cool!

Photos from my bday celebration

Some of you have asked for a bday post, so here it is.

Guu Garden in Downtown Vancouver

I ordered the Royal bento box.

I celebrated with friends, and I’m going to see some friends tomorrow too. If anyone is wondering, I got a gift card, a wallet, bath bombs, a Tony Tony Chopper plush, a sweater, another gift card, and a painting of Roronoa Zoro my friend painted for me.

Happy Day

Sushi date with a friend. ❤
