15 HOURS or LESS?

I woke up so early at about 4:44 am, June 22, 2017 Thursday and I thought I was that early however, my son and husband woke up earlier than me and they headed up to Comox airport for my son's flight to Calgary.

Well, I am not really in a hurry though I always allow extra time for the trip or journey. I am not in a race. I have my own purpose of doing it right. Not that some people are doing it wrong or right because they have a purpose of their own. My mind is not theirs nor their minds belong to me.

Let me cut short those dramatic sequences because I'm not for the drama. Arrived in Nanaimo for the morning ride at BC Ferry Terminal. I recorded the time but wth do I need to post the time. It's not necessary eh? Ferry sailing time at 8:35 am. The ferry is no longer the same kind of ferry we used to ride  20 years ago. Those beautiful ferries lost its shine and do not boast the "cruise-ship features" what happened? Ferries no longer the same as they used to be...most of all noticeable that this ferry we boarded in has "no name." The ferry is old and I felt cheated. What happened to those new ferries? It's weird! This journey makes me feel something so strange. If I have to be reminded about the "dream I had regarding this travel" then I have to be worried.

So, because I am not in the race and I'm not in a hurry because what race is for? I have children already! Maybe the race should be allocated for people without kids and especially for would be mothers with maternal instincts or would-be-fathers with paternal instincts. Don't assume that you can be in a "race" without natural instincts of a perfect human being. Anyway, not here to boast about my writing or try to drive people closer to read my writings or draw people to read my blogs because that's not my intention. Hmm, I could be driving people away from my blogs.

I'm not slow nor fast. I'm trying to relax and take it easy with not to please anybody because my purpose of writing is to please myself and make myself happy with the right words based on my own thinking not the thinking of others. If you want to write, make the basis of your writing based on your own thinking and do not copy the works of others. Be true to yourself. Have faith in yourself! Because I always believe in myself.

 Darn! I'm here to go on vacation and relax. Be good to myself and take away all the pressures.
I live to exist and think nothing but happiness and stop being crabby because I don't have crabby mentality. Although, I always think about crabs as one of my favorite seafood.

Then, thinking about the food again. I first thought better not have lunch but we don't have breakfast yet. I don't like my baby daughter being hungry so I bought her  "smart start breakfast." I only ordered 3 sausages and coffee for myself. The coffee is hot and just right for my taste. The BC Ferries employees are real nice and courteous. Canadians are always courteous, their natural attitude! They have always something nice to say. I'm a Filipina and I speak my mind that's how we are raised and educated in Philippines. Speak the truth.


Of course we have pictures to show-off
Not that we want to show what we are having for breakfast.
 Breakfast is not that cheap. Costly breakfast! I wonder what those old folks say about the price tags of  food per plate. Even bottled water is amazingly expensive. After breakfast hurriedly went downstairs and took photographs of the ocean, the mountains, the ship, and the awesome sailboat.

 A catamaran, or a sailboat, whatever it is as you can see on this picture image. How nice to have that luxury of sailing and tread to the waters.

 Wow! Look at those houses built on top of the mountain. The house-owners were probably having the best experience of waking up to the gorgeous views ever.

 Thousands of miles away as I saw this picturesque view of the ship and have to adjust the zoom lens of my digital camera.

It was windy at the deck but we stayed there and waited inside our vehicle and then after the long wait, after 1 hour and half being inside the ferry, the announcement was heard and we get ready, and out of the BC Ferry. Arrival time in Vancouver at 10:20 am. Driving is fast, swift and there's no stopping. It's like a mad rush sort of something. So many road signs and too many traffic lights and signals.  The GPS device was much of great help. My husband is a good driver, actually the best driver ever. I'm not bragging he never ever receive any violation ticket since the time he had his driver's license at a very young age. He's that good, almost like a saint. Did you know that he is also a pilot. Yup, he had a pilot's license for small planes.
