Friday Night - Girls' Night Out

After school, Tracy darling came over and we just wasted time on the comp...and watched some Friends =D oh and we ate a lot of junk food - ice cream, cream puffs, candy, black tea! Met Nini at the mall at7:30pm i think...we took some pictures in my new car  and eventually met Luce, Candice and Angel at Earls' after eight...

Dinner at Earls' was amazingly fun, especially since i havent hung out with them in months!  We all had pretty good food, and yelling randomly at the Canucks was awesome too  Me and Nini shared a bunch of things...clam chowder, this bread that came with balsamic vinegar (it was really really good!) annnd yummy steak =) I used to not like steak so much, but now i love it!! We also took a TON of pictures, both crazy and normal ones!

After our wonderful dinner, the girls made our way to Death by Chocolate, meeting Alan halfway there =) He seemed superrrr tired after his first day of work!! He also smelled really weird... Alan and I had the "Malt Teaser" and it was pretty good =) but a bit too sweet..we got water, but Tracy managed to spill our dessert in our waters >< Then the Canucks won! =D hahha and we went outside to do more weirdass pictures involving jumping and high fives...man you guys are weird, but i love u all the same.

Walking

in a

winter

wonderland...

yay! its that time of sitting in front of the fireplace sipping hot chocolate and ogling your presents again  we're all just dying to know what we're getting for Christmas, and birthday (for me =p). This is going to be one LOOOONG hectic week, but once I get past all the tests and planning events and shopping for presents and shopping for dresses and shoes for the banquet, hell, it's just one smooooth ride of a party! i cant wait to see everyone coming back from Toronto either; it's like one huge reunion! Looks like we're going to have a white Christmas! well, wish me luck on my tests and hope that I'll still be alive on Friday!

Hoping to see you under that mistletoe , xoxo Erica

Highlight of the weekend:

Saturday Youth Group =)

Four Part Games:

• Cookie Making
• Pumpkin Carving
• Costume Designing
• Trivia

The games were tons of fun, and even though Mike and I didn't win =( but das okay, we got to bond, and David came along after too. our cookies turned out all poofy and didnt even look like the shapes that they were supposed to be...but our pumpkin wasnt bad! and our costume turned out pretty good but we did horribly on those stupid trivia cuz David & Mike both wouldnt help me =.=''

Afterwards, we went out for some food.  Cris and I ordered the nastiest bubble tea in the world >< the strawberry was so fake...and the pearls were red...We made a game out of it, playing rock paper scissors, and whoever lost had to take a sip...During the very last bit of the bbt, we put hot sauce and bbq sauce in it and kept playing lol. omg it was so gross >< thank goodness i didnt ever lose or else i would have had to drink some of that nasty stuff. hahaa, Cris, Pab, Mike and Christina all lost XD. oh man... the vapours! ewwwwwww it hurts to think of it...that was a lot fun =) ahah i'll never forget last night. it was pretty awesome =)

love you all, Erica

TPCC Youth Anniversary

Pre-Dinner

Before dinner, we had around two hours at The River Club for sports. I played tennis with a bunch of the guys, but mostly Casper for the entire time. lol, I probably exasperated him a lil bit, but I definitely got better as the night went on so I think he had fun too. As for me, I had a ton of fun and I honestly need to find a tennis coach again cuz I miss it like hell.

Dinner

Banquet hall at The River Club. The food was pretty good and we all watched the Canucks game while eating lol.  It was a crappy tv but that's okay! We had fun socializing and watching Cris and Esther take really weird pictures.  We talked about what we're gonna do next week, but I don't think we ever came to a conclusion. =( I wanna go to Fright Night, I'm going to be so scared but...that's all part of the fun!

Post-Dinner

We decided to go watch a movie; we all went on our separate cars and met at Silvercity in Richmond.  It was freeeeezing and so foggy...> < It took around an hour and a half to decided what the hell we were going to watch . To make a super long story short, Pab, Johnny, Eric, Sam and I watched The Marine while the rest of the others watched The Grudge 2.  I think we all enjoyed our movies regardless of what we watched, and Sam and I ended up watching the last bit of The Grudge 2. It was scary and afterwards we were all making the signature Grudge sound and freaking each other out.

Driving home was pretty scary, what with all the fog in Richmond.  We could hardly see five metres in front of us...we made it home safe though =) and once we had gotten to Burnaby, the air was so clear that it was pretty unbelievable.

The best part of the whole night was watching the movies. The Marine...its pretty funny, especially when John Cena jumps hella high all the time trying to get outta the explosions. hahha lol  We thought that he looks a lot like Matt Damon. Pretty awesome night, good food, good popcorn, good movie...I got to bond with everyone and get to know them better, which is always good. =)

Good job on your cake, Cristina; it was delicious, and it was pretty.

Have an awesome week =)

All my love, Erica
