Floating on Lake Huron

Floating on Lake Huron

The Best Lake Journey at Lake Huron, ON, Canada


Welcome aboard to Ontario's best ferry Chi-Cheemaun! This is us entering the parking area on the ferry. It is so unbelievable how many vehicles it can take in. The ferry trip costs about $77 CAD. I know it is an expensive ride but it is definitely worth it!


Going up from the parking area and these are the stairs that lead to the majestic view of the Great Lake. As you can tell from here, the ship is gigantic (definitely seaworthy). It has several floors. It feels like a concrete building on the lake. I totally loved the ship and I wish I could live on it!


Here is a view of this gigantic ship. According to Wikipedia, this ship is 111 m (364 ft) with a 19 m (62 ft) beam and has a capacity of 648 passengers and 143 vehicles, including room for large highway vehicles such as buses and transport trucks. How impressive!


Here is the front view of the ship with an Ontario flag in the middle! I love my home province! 


Look at the blue lake. How clean! I haven't seen a lake so clean like this one! I even collected some water samples from Lake Huron! Well, the water is bland, which means it is clean and chemical-free!


Here we go again! The vast blue lake of Ontario (Michigan as well). The blue lake and the blue sky are a perfect combination. I stayed mostly on the deck of the ship to take in all the fresh air. 


A man trying to feed a smart seagull floating above the ship looking for human food. This guy actually started a trend of feeding this seagull. I captured the moment that the seagull was picking up the food from the man. 


Just listen to the sound of the ship traveling on the lake and look into the vast body of this lake. I have to thank my boyfriend for taking me there. We later traveled to Sudbury on the way back home. It was a nice boating journey!

Lusi Goes to Sabrina's Wedding

Lusi Goes to Sabrina's Wedding

Sabrina and Peter Tied the Knot


My best friend since high school, Sabrina, just got married (08/05/2017). I am so happy for her and that is the kind of happiness beyond words can express. We had a lot of good times together back in high school. It was basically Sabrina and Lusi against high school and everything else. Look at her today! She is married. Time passes by so fast! 


Sabrina is a fun and loving person. I feel so grateful to have her in my life.  She always listens to my concerns in life and tries to make me happy. Throughout the years, she has given me some very good advice from school to relationships. I loved our adventures in downtown Toronto, our movie nights, our visits to Quiznos (portobello mushroom), and that one time when we had to study for our final high school exams at the Toronto Reference Library! I also learned a lot about bands like System of A Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nightwish from her. She is a full-time cat lover just like me. She had at least three cats when she lived with her parents. As life went on, Sabrina made more friends in university and she introduced them to me. Our circle of friends grew! 




Look at the food we had at Brina's wedding! I got a piece of chicken and a piece of steak at the same time. I told Brina a long time ago to get married soon so that I can enjoy all the great food at her wedding. Well, she certainly didn't disappoint me! Although I had so much food already, the cheesecake at the end was not left out. Oh look, Sabrina and Peter's wedding cake!

Singing Not Me, Not I on Smule

Singing Not Me, Not I on Smule



Smule has many songs that you can choose from to sing with. Sometimes you can even sing with celebrities. I paid an annual fee so that I have the access to all the songs on the app.

Here is my cover of Delta Goodrem's Not me, Not I. This song was released after Delta was diagnosed with cancer. She definitely suffered a lot, but she never gave up her singing career. It only made her stronger. Today, she is a glowing superstar in Australia. Sometimes, I can hear her song "In this Life" playing in both American and Canadian grocery stores. She is such a great inspiration! Below, we have Delta performing her song "Be Strong". The lyrics are beautiful!

"No you're not defeated 
And soon you'll be smiling once again 
Then you won't have to feel it 
Let it go with the wind 
Time passes us by 
And know that you're aloud to cry"
