Orlando Disney Trip I – First Day

I usually do not type in Word first before posting on blog. This is the first time, hopefully, there will be less typo.
This is a four days trip to Orlando Disney. Due to the time constraint, we only went to Walt Disney World in Orlando and outlet shopping. There are other attractions I wanted to go; I guess I would have to wait until my next visit to Orlando.
First day
I choose to fly from Buffalo because the flight ticket is so much cheaper. The flight is around 7am, so I did not sleep at all the night before. I literally left my house at 2am and drove to Buffalo airport. One thing I like about US domestic flights, they are pretty on time. They departed on time; travelled within the schedule time limited and arrived on time. Comparing to my flight to Las Vegas during Christmas time, the security is less intense.
We arrived around 10.30am to Orlando airport. The heat just blew to us right away. I felt the same when I arrived in HK airport. Orlando is summer all year long. I saw those tropical plants all around the place. The airport is pretty nice and organized. All signs are pretty clear, it did not take me long to find the Disney Magical Express (a free transportation that take us to Walt Disney Resorts).
In the afternoon, we went to the Premium Outlet mall in Orlando. Surprisingly, I did not do crazy shopping there. I guess I know there is limited space in my luggage. =P There are more brand name stores in this outlet mall compared to the others ones I went to such as Vegas, Cleveland, Chicago…etc. I saw Swarovski, Burberry, Seiko there.

好人比壞人多

這世上還是好人比壞人多 今晚好好的把車產上了草坪,前後都不能動。真是六神無主,還准備叫拖車。最後有几個壯男看我可怜幫我把車推上來了。真的沒想到,我一個人坐在車里他們在外面推,真的是見義勇為。忽然感到這世上可能真是好人比壞人要多。

菲律宾事件

不開心事件已發生两個星期了,但市民仍然很關心事情的进展。新闻每天都有,關于搜证的,慯者的,群众的。自己病了两個星期,都来不及更新所有的新闻。這是一件很不幸的事,电视剧看多了,以為绑架事件會有圆满解决。不要忘了,我們常人並没有受训练去解决类似事件。這些事很难會得到圆满结局。
无可否认,菲律宾警方的能力是需要改进的。一個政局不稳的小國家,可以想象他的军力和警力是有限的。 我從未到過菲律宾,也不知何年何月才有机會。没有人會预计到旅途中會遭绑架,常人不會想到类似事件會發生在自己身上。可能是命中注定,逃不了也避不過。事情已经發生了,只希望在生的人能够更坚强的活下去。
還有很佩服港人,這麽忙着搞经济和政治的同时,還有時間和精力游行和祈祷。

Terroni

We went to Terroni in downtown Toronto tonight. Terroni is a traditional Italian restaurant. It is the first time I ever been there. The restaurant is not very big. It has two separated dining rooms and each has different menus. This time, we tried the more traditional side. The menu is in Italian and some explanation in English. Heh, I wish I read Italian. The food is pretty good. Comparatively, the dish size is fairly small but with high quality. Their homemade pastas are very tasty with chewy texture. I would totally go there again.

Today's dinner is to catch up with a friend. She is been traveling in Asia for 8 months. Honestly, I am jealous. For the past summers I had, I never had an opportunity to go anywhere I want. I have been stuck in town and work for all those summers. I have way too many places I want to go,and it is different if I can go now than later years. Unfortunately, I never had a chance. I guess it happens I have a different way to walk with.

Inception

Yes, I finally watched the movie Inception.
I was holding so badly until I can actually watch if in the theater.

I actually like the movie. I guess the review and the ratings did not lie. I would rate it 9/10 as well. The movie was not very difficult to understand as in some of the reviews. The layers of dreams are flipping back and forth, but the director in fact made them pretty clear. Even through I would prefer a clear result at the end, I still think the ending is suitable for the entire movie.

The idea of accessing others' subconscious mind is actually pretty cool. I have to say Christopher Nolan has brilliant ideas and he is able to tell his ideas. About Leonardo DiCaprio, the first movie I watch him play is Titanic.  I just think he is pretty lucky to play all these good roles in all his movies. I do not know if he is really talented.

Wonderland

Wonderland is a theme park in Toronto area. It only opens during the summer time.

Being in Toronto so almost 10 years, I have only been there a few times. The previous time I went is around 4 years ago. Nothing is really changed when I went again yesterday. The waterfall is the same, food and shop locations are the same, rides are the same (there are some new ones).... Only people changed. 

While everything remains the same, I see them differently, feel them differently. I am not who I was 4 years ago, so as others.

Diet Plan

I just finished a three days diet plan last week. The plan is aiming for losing 6lbs after the diet. Since there is no school last week, my colleague decided to give a try.

During the process, it is kind of hard. You get hungry sometimes because no snack in between meals. Office ladies like us usually have some snacks in between, so that took some effort. I think the prime thing of this diet is to smaller your appetite so you don't eat as much after. The food we ate is not that little, but they are health. There is some kind of chemical reaction there to help you lose weight.

Today is the third day since the diet is done. I only gain 1lb back after I lost 5lb in that three days. Of course, I think the most important to keep it up is health eating and work out.

Please see the following to reference the three days diet. Hopefully it would be helpful for you too. =)
