A Memorable Canada Day
Yesterday was one memorable Canada Day. Spent it with family. We had one hilarious time at my sister's backyard. The day was filled with jokes and play, and right off the bat, everyone neglected to realize that you need food for a barbeque. That was pretty stupid silly of us.
But it worked out for the better as we ended up going to a Chinese grocery (the only place ever open on a holiday), and managed to buy fireworks in the process. I bought Canada Day umbrella hats for everyone, but no one wanted to wear them... so that kinda sucked... but at least I got some beautiful pictures out of it. Below is a picture of my niece playing by the stairs
My siblings and I had a thorough discussion about a dilemma we're facing. I mentioned a phone conversation with my younger brother Marc earlier in the week. It seems everyone had a near-similar experience that went something like this:
"Marc... stop crying!"
"I can't! I'm crying in the middle of Scotia Plaza and everyone is watching me!"
Marc has been super emotional lately. Man, he really needs to come out of the closet. Sometimes, I feel sorry for his girlfriend... (she was also present in the family barbeque).
The above picture was taken last night. I decided to have my own fireworks by my balcony.

Update: I have answers from the unsolved mystery I mentioned yesterday. I received some pictures via email. The guy is from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I remember him now. A very nice guy. He says I have a place to stay over there should I want to visit. Damn, he's just not my type!
