Downtown

  Yesterday me and my friends Narae, Michelle and Carmen went to Downtown. First we were at Metrotown, we got some lunch and took the sky train to Downtown.
  We were at the pacific centre, and doing nothing in particular. When you are with your friends, time passes too fast, and it doesn't really matter what you are doing as long as you are with them. We walking around the centre, but because we weren't familiar with the place we mostly walked back and forth on the same level. Later I decided to should go to Chapters, after all the chapters on Robson (I think it is on Robson...) is one of the biggest stores I have seen. It has three floors!!! Narae loves to read too, and so does Michelle. We drowned out selves in books. The best thing about having others who love to read too with you when you are in a environment full of books, is that there is always a book or two that you can suggest to the other. Usually when we are at book stores we ask each other if you have read this, if you like that book. Because there were so many good books that were suggested that I should read, I made a list on my cell phone so I can hunt them all down when I have the time. We spent hours in Chapters alone. Of course, we didn't just stared at books, we went to the kids section! I remember on last Thursday Mimi, Carina, Jennica and me spent an hour in the toy section of Sears. What can I say, I guess we are all still kids at heart. In the toy section we saw this raccoon puppet that come out of a garbage can, and a rabbit that came out of a hat. There were so many good puppets there, I wanted to get one for my brother, but they were super expensive, and I just didn't have that kind of money... I was hoping they had the puppets in the Chapters at Metrotown, that way I can take my mom there and get it. It is really cool, and I hope they have it.
  After Chapters we lost interest in shopping or even walking around, so we decided to go to Narae's house. Her parents weren't home, and we were all tired. The bus ride to her house, however was really strange. We took 100 from the skytrain station and got kicked off at this stop for no reason at all. Another bus came shortly but we ended up back at the station somehow... When we finally got to her house, we spent at least and hour during transportation. It only felt like a few minutes to us, because we were talking and laughing and completely unaware of time. We played a very short game of Monopoly in Narae's house, and showed each other youtube videos. Soon it was dark and we had to go home. Michelle lives pretty far away, and we didn't want to travel alone in the dark. We all said good-bye to Narae and went home. We walked up some street I forgot the name of, and the street lamps were broken so it was really really dark. Thank goodness there were three of us, or else I would be seriously concerned about our safety. We waited for the 26 and got off at Arlington. My mom was still sleeping over in Port Moody and I had no intentions of riding a bus there at night, so I just went to my auntie's house. Carmen and Michelle got off with me, but they had to stay at the bus stop to wait for the 49.
  It was one of the fastest days I have ever had. The whole day passed so fast is was a blur. Must be because I was having so much fun! But my trip didn't do a lot of good for my healing cold, I am starting to cough a little again... Sad...
  Funny thing was, yesterday was Wednesday, but when I was out with my friends I kept thinking it was Sunday. Maybe because we always go out on Sundays, and also because there was no school...
  I know today is Thursday, because I am going to go sell stuff with Mimi and Carina later! YAY!
