Banquet Hall Search - Week 2

I didn't realize how hard it would be to find a location for the wedding. I've called almost every single place in Toronto and it's been crazy, either too expensive, ugly or not available.

This is probably the toughest part of planning a wedding, getting a venue! I really wish Ray was here with me though, it is difficult to drive out to all these places, then have to report what they tell me to Ray. I know it is just as hard for Ray too, he has to listen to all my explanations and his only tool of getting a sense of how these places look like is through pictures from their websites or pictures that I have taken.

I also haven't been feeling 100% so taking care of myself on top of this search hasn't been easy.

wedding planning

As you know, Dy and I are getting married. We haven't confirmed a date yet, but it's close enough that planning has started. I have indirectly experienced this since my sisters were married in consecutive years. Currently, we're handling probably the two most difficult tasks: finding the right reception hall and coming up with a guest list. Dylan and I will be updating this blog with our experiences. All blogs will be filed under the 'wedding' category.

You made it!

I just did my last post on my old journal.

I've pasted it below for nostalgic purposes.

I'm moving...not to a different country, but to a different webhost. I've served four years at my current host and its technologies have not improved much, but its prices have stayed the same. That's a formula for breakup.

That's not all I'm moving. I'm moving my journal from this crappy code to Wordpress. When I first started this journal four years ago, my intention was that this would be a practice ground for me. I got a lot of practice from school and work so development on this playground was minimal. Further, what I was intending to practice was already developed. I've found other things to spend my time on.

I've migrated all of my (our) journal entries to the site already, but I have not updated its default presentation. It's kinda crazy looking back at all of the entries. Looking back is actually possible! There were also about 500 different usernames. You can find the new journal here:

Of course the design is not there and neither is the domain. That will change over the next few weeks.

So this is the last post here...sniff..sniff...I smell crap.

Wordpress is good so far. It's flexible and easy to maintain.

Today I'm going to "A Canadian Universities alumni reception". It's a reception for alumni working in the Pacific Northwest. You need to register for this event and did so weeks ago. Unfortunately, I did figure out if anyone I know registered, so this might be a flying solo event for me. Regardless, it should be interesting.
