Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Vancouver is finally experiencing the long awaited snow. Life is full of surprises.
After seeing Nophy yesterday, the first time in months after her engagement news, she was distinctly more beautiful. Is it love or marriage that has that effect? Or both? Maybe it is how she has overcome adversity and dozens of heartbreaks to finally find the special someone. Yes, she is strong and probably even more stubborn to live her life her way which accounts for all the unnecessary failures she had. But they are all bygones now, she is happy and that is all that matters.
Suddenly, it dawned upon me, it seems like every single friend or acquaintance of ours has at one point or another been a victim of matchmaking manifested by my dad. Not one has ended in success and not for a lack of trying. Sometimes all you can do is laugh about it because they are so obviously wrong for each other.

Then as I walked to work in the pile of snow today, I tried to match the pile of footprints of those before me. And it is kindda fun.
