Autumn in Vancouver

Canada was never on my bucketlist mainly because I know full well that I can’t afford it; but opportunity came knocking on my door when my paper was accepted for presentation in an international conference.

Until now, it is still a dilemma

I applied for a Visa, together with my friend whose research was also accepted for presentation, and lucky as I’ve always been for Visas, I got a multiple entry!

Hawaii Photodiary

Of course, this post is late, but hey, I went back to Hawaii for err- vacation? I went to Hawaii first before attending an academic conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I spent a total of 12 days in Hawaii, two days in Shanghai, China, and five days in Canada. I’ve yet to look for my first four days in Hawaii because my memory card was corrupted when we were transferring photos in Canada. So, here’s a photo diary of the one-day around-the-island adventure with my family.

My amazing family, everyone. We were, actually complete!

Then there’s me, straight from the cold airs of Canada, back to the tropics.

This was actually my second to the last day in Hawaii, so the family decided to push through with this touristy-route of the island of Oahu.

Of course, the trip was not complete without visiting my grandparents and Daddy Romy. The cemetery itself is breathtaking.

My mommies, errbody ~

And the cute babies in the names of Emily, Harper, and Zoey ~

Then other island photos.. of me and everyone (and also of one of my favorite people in Hawaii.. Hi, Jarica) in between.

We also went to Hale’iwa for the famous shaved ice. Err, soooo Hawaii.

But yes of course, the ever-touristy DOLE farm of Oahu.

Hawaii is that one place I always want to go back because I could never get enough of the island and the people in it. Here’s to praying I’d go back anytime soon. And here’s to saying that Hawaii is my favorite dose of tropics. xx
