		<description><![CDATA[This was my trip to Vancouver Island, in photos, when I went to buy my sister's SUV. So me and a friend went on the long trek from Fort Langley, to Sooke, BC, to drive a vehicle what may, or may not have, made it back under its own steam. We made it, with minor issues with a dead battery, but the trip was great. Lots of stories for the dinner table now! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my Mother came over for a visit during my convocation a couple of weeks ago, we took in a lot of sites. There were so many places that we went to I am still sorting out all the photos I took. I finally got to the trip we did at the Fort Langley, BC Agriculture Museum that houses so many exhibits that when we were done walking around, finally making it through the whole building, I had taken somewhere in the neighbourhood of 300 photos.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the first places me and Mother went to when we visited the Fort Museum back on June 11, 2011, was the Blacksmith shop. I have always had a fascination with metal working, especially these historical methods without the use of modern methods of heating and casting that we have today. It was well informative as the demonstrator used his furnace and showed us the various techniques of bending and heating the iron to make all the tools and things people needed back then to have the creature comforts they wanted. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As some of you now know, my Mother has left back to her home in Alberta, as her visit here had come to an end last Sunday, but it has taken me all of this week to catch up on this blog, entering in the backlog of posts that I want to write in it. I have several hundred photos, both stored on my camera and hard drives, and going through them all has been a test of endurance. With so many photos, and so little time, choosing the best of the best has not been easy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday me and my mother went out for lunch at the Planet Java 50s Café in Fort Langley, BC just on Glover Road in down town. I thought it would be a cool place to eat becuase it is set up like a restaurant from the 1950s, decked out with a statue of Elvis, and 50s music playing all the time. The look and feel is seemingly authentic, according to my Mother. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since after the Convocation from Wednesday, me and my visiting Mother did some sight seeing around Fort Langley, BC. I have no vehicle right at this moment, so I could not take to her places that I wanted to go, so we did lots of walking and local sight seeing. We went to places I have not gone to in years. Yesterday we did the Fort Langley "Fort" heritage park, and the Fort Langley Farmer's Museum.  It was amazing how much time went by when we were finished. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent most of the morning so far preparing for my graduation ceremony coming up in less than four days. I have so much to do until then! With my Mother dropping by for fours days during the event, and then leaving on the following weekend, cleaning has been the number one chore of the day today. As much as I want to get out and enjoy this wonderful super nice weather we are finally getting here in Fort Langley, I must clean--for the sake of my mother, and for my sanity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a good morning, a good start to the day because I finally talked to Mom after doubting that I would connect with her over Skype. It was nice to talk to her. We talked for just under an hour. We started making preparations for my graduation ceremony that is coming up in less than a month. So many details, so little money and time to work with, but we will make this happen. It is still four weeks away.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was working on some digital Valentine’s cards; something to email special friends and family; something that would make this February 14th, memorable and meaningful. As I was creating them, I would send the odd one out on twitter to my followers to gauge the response on which one would hit a high note, and perhaps get some feedback too as to why they didn't like a particular card. My experiment quickly turned into garbage when a wave of Tweeps replied back saying that my Valentine’s Day cards were so passé, "so yesterday," and that receiving them would be considered, “tacky” in some circles. I recoiled at the notion that something so entrenched in our culture would be considered, “tacky.” But then I stopped and thought about this, and then came to the conclusion that there are many other things in our culture that I too would consider “tacky” as well, so I can sympathise with you on this one. ]]></description>
