My 2010 Winter Games Team

Just like an athlete, I seem to have a have a whole slew of coaches in my life.  There’s Head Coach and then my naggie nellies, including Steven, Raul and Rob. This lot can be a pain in the ass, as usually they’re right (but please don’t tell them that, because they remind me of that often enough and they are really nauseating about….well the men are at any rate). Their recent natterings have been over concern of me getting too busy again and not taking enough time to myself. It’s the Olympics people !!!!  What do you expect?  How am I supposed to slow down now???

Well, as I mentioned before, they are unfortunately usually right.  And this time is no different.  After week one of my playing my part as socialite at all the pre-Olympic Parties, I’m racing to keep up to the content I’ve been gathering.  They’re right. If the Olympics are going to be fun for me, I need comradery and a team.

So what’s a girl to do?  Take a page out of the old play book.  If athletes can have teams to support them, then bloody well, why shouldn’t I?  So that’s what I’ve done.  After some grueling winter games trials of my own, two contenders rose from the pack and are ready to sign on to the podium with me, or more aptly into whatever jail cell my hair brain schemes get us into.

This two, let’s face it, incredibly lucky (I mean they do get to hang out with after all) champions are none other than Mario the Intern (stolen from the Ahimsa Media office, as somebodies got to teach this boy a thing or two about the real word, as opposed to whatever do gooder crap Erica is filling his head with) and one time shy gal turned sassy Momma, Brie Mason.  Stay tuned for more from the two of them.

Let the Games begin!

Robson Live!!!!

Absolutely loving the Cultural Olympiad!!!

Did you know that you can take in live music, like Yuca, down at Robson Square?  And skate on an outdoor rink at the same time?  Get out there and enjoy yourself Vancouver!  We deserve it!

Steveston’s Little Secret

Yes, it’s true,  Steveston is harboring a little secret.  Nestled away in this sleepy town is none other them the Home of Filipino Pride for the 2010 Winter Games, the 2010 Filipino Bungalow!!!

Come visit and cheer on the Pride of the Philippines (and Poland and the USA) at the 2010 Winter Games, JR Celski!

Let’s go JR, let’s go! JR, JR, JR!

Kisses Emme xoxo

PS Sweet and soft kisses for Steven’s brilliance on the camera and for putting up with me in stress mode.

In Honour of the Swiss

Okay, so admittedly have no idea what these Swiss gals are singing, but they are cute and make me smile, which is exactly what the warm welcome at Switzerland House made me do this afternoon.

Oh and did I mention the yummy cheese and chocolate …..mmmmm….. I love the Cultural Olympiad!
