Lazy lazy...

oh boy... I really need to get back to this blogging business!  Lately, I've been just lazy!  I haven't done anything new and the whole fencing thing I did in the fall was a bust after about 3 classes since I injured myself (possibly pulled a groin ) and I couldn't lunge anymore, so that basically spelled the end of fencing for me.

I'm doing more gentle activities lately - back to yoga and I started pilates at my gym.  It's pretty intense and hopefully, it'll give me a leaner body :)

I impulsively bought an 'escape pass' from Air Canada which basically gives me 2 round trip flights in a certain travel zone (for me, I'm just flying to Vancouver) and then a bonus pass, which I'm using to fly to HK.  So for a grand total of $829 including all taxes, surcharges, and fees, I have 2 domestic and 1 international flight!  It was a super sweet deal and hopefully, they'll have it again next year.  The international flights were restricted to several locales including London, Paris, Sao Paulo, Lima, and HK.   The only other bad thing is they restrict the times that you can fly.  There are lots of black out periods so I had to use one last weekend (it was a long weekend for some of us in Canada)  I went to Vancouver and did a lot of fun outdoorsy things that I normally never do.  It's funny how for going to Vancouver 9 times, last weekend was the first time I ever rode a bike all the way around Stanley park.  I wish I had done it sooner   It was 10Km all around but to be riding outdoors with the ocean breeze in your hair and the fresh air made me feel like I was 10 again... (which was probably also the last time I was really on a bike!!!)

anyway, lemme just share some pics of some of the outdoor activities I did!
