it's snowing...have a bubble tea....

so i'm working away today at my workstation, and a commotion breaks out. it's pouring rain! no, wait.......IT'S SNOWING! all hell breaks loose in the lower mainland traffic when there's a lot of rain or an inkling of snow in the forecast. i don't understand drivers......it's just rain! snow, i can be more sympathetic about.....it can be very slippery out there. but, come on! we live in a city where it rains every other day. get over it! it's like all of a sudden people can't drive faster than 40 km/hr, nor can they stay in their own lane. i laid on my horn tonight cuz some stupid woman was riding over the reflectors into my lane :P bloody hell! something else that gets me every time.....ppl who drive the wrong way on a one-way street. are you stupid?!?! it's guaranteed at least twice a week i will see someone turn north onto thurlow from robson or georgia and they're facing an uphill battle. it's always mind boggling how the arrows by the street lights get totally ignored. apparently these ppl never took classes from young drivers of canada!

anywhoo, so yes, i did venture out into the crazy traffic to run errands tonight. since i was heading westward, i felt obligated to get myself a treat......a mango lychee slush w/milk and pearls (thanks for the recommendation, ang!) - it's only $3.75. the only place i go for bubble tea anymore is dragonball. it's at oak & 25th, and they have the best bubble tea. over the summer i would go at least every sunday (douglas park v-ball days), and sometimes in between :) the banana strawberry combination is also really good. dragonball is also one of the few bubble tea places that has green tea ice cream. that's chris' favourite.....with coconut jelly of course ($4.25 i think)! their pearls have the perfect consistency of firmness/softness and sweetness, and of course they use real fruit, not the powdered stuff you find at other places :P and like any other asian business, it's cash only, and they provide a stamp card - buy 10, get 1 free!

p.s. it seems i've alarmed several readers with my previous post, and i've also found there are several others out there who are in the same boat as me. i'm sure i'll eventually get over whatever underlying issues i've buried deep inside me - i have shared 2 of my problems to a few of my readers, but i probably shouldn't post stuff for the "world" to see. so in the meantime, i'll just plod along in life, and deal with sh*t as it happens.
