There was this man who sell his pencil art on the side and they were amazing! He mastered impressionism and drew the Gastown's steam clock on pencil color for two months. He sold it for 35 bucks. Most of his art work is about west end, mostly the old buildings. It was amazing.
The beach was clear, no fog. And people were running. And dogs were tapping. We sat beside the beach watching at least 10 dogs passed us by. Then we walked all the way back to Robson. I want to change perfume. Talk about perfume...
First I used Benetton's Hot, it was a gift from Mom. It was when I was a 4-grader.
Then I used Body Shop's White Musk and Vanilla. I never really liked the previous one. It's too strong. I used Body Shop's Vanilla and White Musk throughout my secondary school.
In High School, I used Issey Miyake's L'eau D'issey.
and my favorite of all, Dior Dolce Vita. Which my mom gave me prior to a party, but she takes it back when I'm going to Singapore because she says she likes it too. Cheee.
Then I use (and currently using) Bulgari Rose Essentielle.
I strongly believe that perfume reflects personality. First of all, not everyone has the same sense of scent. Second of all, perfume smelt differently on different person. Third of all, it lingers on your skin, so you must like it and it must smell like you in order to make you feel comfortable.
Because if you carry too strong a smell, you will have to adjust your personality. It will deconstruct your attitude. If you carry too sweet of a smell, you will behave girly. For example, if you smell like fresh laundry, people can tell you your personality: plain and simple. If you like citrus, you're probably a fun and easy going person. If you're a floral person like me, you're probably feminine. Classy, if you like dark floral. Woody, I can never wear that because it's too sophisticated.
Well the recent hype is MJ Daisy and Apple DKNY. I don't really like them. Too light.
Oh yeah, I'm switching. I thought of YSL Paris or Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. I'm not too sure. The latter has a stronger personality. You know, some people use Chanel's perfume and it looked bad on them because they don't have that kind of sophistication that the scent carries.
Anyway. Going back to my date. We went back now to Granville to buy a few stuff from London Drugs, then we watched Frost/Nixon with chips and a few drink.
It's a really good show. Actually, truth be told I was never really interested in American presidents besides - naturally - Bush Jr. and Obama. I had this book of American presidents that I barely read. I bought it for the purpose of researching the Great Depression per se. Now that I know Nixon is the only president that has ever stepped down, I'm interested to know more because really, I don't think American presidents are that high in morale at all. Take a look from an outsider, or the invaded if you prefer. After reading and listening and accustomed to the suspicions that American Intelligence contributed more than once in our political chaos, I have no sympathy nor empathy to even begin the conversation without a hint of cynicism. But as the wise says, you can never win if you don't understand.
Anyways. It was a really, really good date and I'm surprised by how smooth it went!
