All the girls deserve to be happy!

In Korea, sometimes people say that, if women are beautiful, everything is forgivable. Of course it would not be appicable to all the situations, but I would not deny this. Yeah, it sounds unfair to me, it is true. No wonder that looking fabulous and gorgeous to other people would be a strong desire and instinct for women over the world.

What comes to your mind when you think of pretty and attractive women? Does anything rings a bell? Bingo! It’s shopping! I would not say that most women are shopoholics, but in some points we love shopping–even if it is window shopping. If it is free to get a lot of stuff in fashion, who would resist that?

In Yaletown, on July 17, I witnessed such a long lineup of ladies waiting for the free swag bags. Oh my goodness! It was over 30 degrees during daytime. It was not windy or cool at all!

I did not think people concerned the hot weather. The shopathon event was supposed to start at 3pm, but people started to line up 2 hours before the event. As far as I knew, the swag bags were limited to 250 people, but I could see tons of people there. Once the ladies got their own bags, they checked them out to see what’s inside. Some of them got a pair of luxurious jeans that were $300 in value. Wow, it would be a good chance to try their luck.

All of them got cosmetics like lip gloss, mascara, and perfume. On top of these, they got a pair of sunglasses that were well designed and pretty. I saw thier faces and they could not stop smiling at each other.
Even though the weather was not the best condition to wait for the bags, people there did not mind at all. Who says that girls are way complicated to understand? Girls are not that compicated as guys usually think. They are satisfied with this sort of event and find happiness.

I wish I could see this kind of event that would be hit in my country.
I would not mind being at the end of the line even it is ridiculously hot as long as I could get what I want.

Who ya gonna call?

One of my joys in Vancouver is enjoying the nice summer weather. A lot of people like to lie down on the grass in the park to sunbathe. Personally, I would like to have pale skin, so I am not one of the sunbathers here. Nevertheless, I can also have a lot of fun here because there are tons of ongoing events and exhibitions in town that gather local residents together. I would say I am a real “home body”, but here in Vancouver I would not be myself like I am back home. On the weekends, my feet get itchy, so I cannot chill at home at all.

On July 19, there was a free movie playing in David Lam Park in Yaletown. It sounded awesome for me to watch a movie outdoors at night. I called some of my friends to head for the movie together, all of them were excited about seeing the movie outside.

When we got to the park, we were totally overwhelmed by tons of people and the huge screen. Most people already had their spot and were waiting for the movie to start. Almost all of the people knew that which movie was going to play owing to this line [Who ya gonna call?]on the flyers. As you can see, the movie was “Ghostbusters” Fortunately, my friends and I could get a good spot; in the middle of the crowd which was the best spot to see the movie without any problems. Once the movie started, some people started singing.
“When there’s something strange in your neighborhood. Who ya gonna call?..” That song was quite catchy, so it rang continuously in my head even two days later.

Anyways, it will be one of the precious memories that I have had in Vancouver.

What’s going on here?

I know Yaletown is a quite well-known place for shootimg movies and commercials because of its heritage buildings. I have worked in Yaletown for almost two months, but I have yet to witness this kind of movie shooting. I thought I was not lucky enough to see this.

Somebody said if you were really desirable about something, somebody would make it done!
Yay! This was so true!

Finally, ond day I heard about sometihg going on in Yaletown. Everybody was hectic and busy filming something! I was wondering what they were shooting there. A pretty and neat lady was pushing a stroller in the middle of the Yaletown area with catchy music. A couple of cameramen were about to film her at that moment. Even though they seemed not to make any mistakes, the director wanted to repeat the same scene several times. After half an hour, I got to know that they were working on a stroller commercial.

The stroller seemed quite distinctive and well-made. Although strollers are not my expertise, but I could say that one was quite good.
I assumed that stroller brand is quite high-end, that is why they chose Yaletown for the commercial.

Anyways, it was a good experience for me to see the commercial shooting.
