A Busy Week.

Since my little trip to Kensington last week, I have made 2 more videos, reconnected with famiy in the Philippines, planned a trip to the mountains and bought new a camera. Yes, I broke down and replaced my old Sony DSC W30 with a brand new Canon Powershot SX200 IS and its so much better. No more finicky selection wheel that switches modes by itself. I have been taking lots of photos, but I'm really waiting for a good opportunity to use it at night.

Cooking up some chicken adobo for a cooking video

The Youtube channel is doing well. I am still getting most of my viewers from Facebook, though I have been making good use of my YT friend list to promote from within the site to get more subscribers. Speaking of subscribers, I have 2 new ones: JoyMac13 and HANAFUBUKI. Thank you for your support! JoyMac13 is like my twin sister. Check out our channels and you'll see what I mean. HANAFUBUKI does some amazing videos of her walks with poetry and reading. Check her out for sure.

The cool thing about the new camera is the wide angle lens that I'm not used to. Its great and I only wish that my camcorder did the same. Yes, I can take HD video with the Canon, but its MOV and I can't edit them in Pinnacle. I could convert, but its an extra step and just a pain.

Pho from Bolsa Restaurant, Calgary

Lunch with Sue and Cher

Tried out the Bolsa Restaurant in Calgary on Macleod Trail South for some food and conversation. Mostly talked about dating after divorce and how much of a crap shoot it can be. All I can say is that I'm tired of games at this age and I wish things were more straight forward. I guess at the same time though that I choose how its all gonna go down...right? Think I'll just take some time off and enjoy life with my family and friends.

Lunch at Fatburger with Telf

So, that brings me to this weekend. I am getting ready to do a little grocery shopping for my weekend with the kids and picking up ingredients for the cooking video: Okonomiyaki. I am also gonna start painting again, since I have the space and a big empty canvas. As for any road trips...we'll figure it out when we get there.
