everywhere project

Yesterday was the first day of my voyage. 10 hours and change before I got to Canadia. It was fun, I took my time, traveled on some back roads and saw some cool things... giant windmill on top of mountains, Llama farm, chickens just pecking away at the side of a road. a field of electrical towers and on huge giant water fall. I also made some videos, check'm.. I'm new to this blogging thing so bare with me. Click to the next page for some pictures.

And it Begins

"Yeah I was bored."

Its Friday, hung around all day and worked on everywhere. The end of the day came and my brother and family decide to treat me to a little Vietnamese dinner. TADAW! It has become my brothers mission to take me to every asian restaurant Canad-ia can offer. Which will not be hard for my brother cause this country is packed with them. They should rename this place "Chinadia", damn! that was a bad joke. I'll stop now. Enjoi the pics.

The Canadian Bunyi's

Me, Arrius, Bessie, Adrian, Astrid, Alex Bunyi. (left to right)... on our way to the restaurant. Unfortunately my niece Astrid is not smiling, that how she naturally looks. Don't stare she is very sensitive about the subject. JK

What the Pho is This!

That iz my friends, is what you call 100% yumminess! By the way this was the first time I witnessed my nephews eat... let me tell you its like sharks feeding, clean, fast and bountiful. I ask my sister in law if they are feed regularly and she said "Yes". Scary... but hey I was the same way growing up.

First weekend at the "Casa the Brother Bunyi". Everyone is home and breakfast is served yummy. When was the last time I had a home cooked breakfast. My niece and I had plans to head over the city and do a scouting mission but due to the weather, we had to abort the mission. Instead my other sister-in-law, Christi, came by and slept at the house. I have not seen her for 20 years. My brother's friends and extended family came by for a few beers and shared some stories. Oh, we also rode the motorcycle :)

Breakfast 8:00 am

Canadian Bacon or also known as just bacon with some eggs, tocino... and of course rice. "Thats how we role, flip style!".

My youngest nephew, adrian never misses a good meal... even if he has to get up at 8:00 am on a saturday morning. He is also 12 years old and 6 feet tall... and no, he does not play basketball.

Sunday, Sunday!! I quit smoking and started to run again. I ran 3 miles this morning with my niece Astrid. We plan to run a 8k race on the 7th and a 5k race on the 22nd of april, in Toronto. Astrid also took me to the city today. We took the TTC Subway and scouted a small portion of the city. I think the video below sums up the day. enjoi

Yeah its true... working on my video editing kung fu... whateva, just having fun.

Its Wednesday, the sun is out, a little chilly, but over all a beautiful day. Last night I read about a place called Graffiti Alley. Each year in July, the city of Toronto throws a week long graffiti festival. Artist from all over gather in the city to express life in the form of dance, music and by throwing fresh paint on the back alleys of King Street. Its sounds like a good time. Well its March so I might be a little early for the festival, but I think the potential goodness to see “supa cool’ graffiti pieces is worth the time to take on the search and adventure, so it begins.

12:00. I hopped on my bike and headed for the city. A quick check on the map and I’m off on my motorcycle. Unfortunately on a motorcycle chilly becomes a bone numbing experience. Oh well, its part of the fun. Besides that the ride was uneventful, No lane splitting, barely going over the speed limit 60 kph (boo). It was a painful ride considering how excited I was to find this place. I didn’t know what to expect and I didn’t know the exact location. “AWESOME”.

When I got in the city, I found a public parking area that had a wall with a burner piece. It was really inspiring so I took some pictures… the trip was off to a good start. I wanted to park the bike right there, I figured it’s a good place to start, but it was one of those automated parking lots… buy a ticket and leave the ticket on the dashboard deals… the bike doesn’t have a dashboard. So I jumped back on and continued. Now I’m really stoked but at the same time I had doubts, what if graffiti alley was and exaggeration and what I witness was it?

"Shadow"

My favorite picture for two reasons...1. I love the piece I can't read it but it looks "Supa cool"... 2. My bike is in it :)

"Tired"

Running the Niagra Falls with the cousins from Florida.

I take so many pictures, I signed up for a web gallery. Any pictures I don't get to post on everywhere... I'll post on the Picasa. the link is picasaweb.google.com/trycelito.

My cousins from Florida came up to Canada to visit. It was my first time hanging out with them as a grown up. It was fun as hell, met new nephews and got to spend some time with them. Kyle has this infectious laugh and Roman has this crazy eye brow trick.

Florida Bunyi

Kyle and Roman Bunyi, both are chatty just like me.

Kuya Patrick and Ate Grace. last time I saw them was 10 years ago... man I suck... I'll see them again before I finish my journey.

A few things I want to share. My friend Ron and Stacey emailed some clips of us doing some fun things before I left and also dug up a picture of Sarah and her funny attempt to join me on my trip... thanks guys.

Chicks With Guns

Hot! That's Stacey... crazy extreme girl, Ron's wife.

Canisectomy is the removal of all EPA dooDads and thingymajigs on a motorcycle. These are gadgets that is poorly designed and usually does great for the environment but destroys the bike. I tried to keep it on the bike for as long as I can but it was starting to chock the bike and performance was becoming unpredictable, dangerous at points (stalling on the highway). Time to dive in operate... the operation was a success here are some pics. My nephew Adrian took the pictures, I think he did awesome, more can be found at Picasa.The procedure took half a day and it was painful, cause the garage was an icebox. The only source of heat was coming from the spotlights. burrrr...

Every time I spend time with family the tendency to stuff me with everything they got seems to become a knee jerk reaction. Ever since I got here I have been well fed with goodness... Thia, Italian Buffet, Birthday cake and more. Giggidy Giggidy...good times.

Congee Wong

The best restaurant ever, plus it was cheap...

Sweet and sour chicken and some soup called "Congee", hard to describe but it was good.

Bertha Ford, my beautiful truck got some love, oil change, rotated the tires, new brake pads, machined the rotors... My brother and I worked on her this weekend. I don't know why I'm posting this but I guess I feel like a proud Dad and tipical guy thing... I love working on machines.

Big Bertha

Bertha without her shoes... sexy.

Harry's Spring Run-Off 8K & 5K to fight Prostate Cancer, was this weekend April 7th. It was awesome. We had a rough start.. my brother's house was covered with snow and driving conditions was poor, but we were determined to run by all means necessary. When we arrive at Toronto we were surprised to see that the place had little or almost no sign of snow... it was like night and day. When we got to the park, it was cold, cloudy with very light snow flurries but as soon as the race began the flurries stopped and the sun came out blazing, the temp warmed up, the race was on. We started our 5k race at 10:45, I unfortunately over dressed and over heated. I finished a few minutes under what I was shooting for, my time was 30:04, 294th out of 961 runners. My niece had a ball and aims to start training to finish top ten before the year ends. Her time was 30:29, 313/961. As soon as the race ended the clouds rolled back in and the flurry machine kicked back in...

5k Race

Whats up?

Nothing to report, the weather here has been cold and wet. It has been a rough week but no worries we always have Bowling. Even though I suck at bowling it was still fun... after two games and a few beers I finally broke a hundred and won a game. I was second to last the first two games. What I learned that night was that my family is kinda competitive.

Pecking Order

Adrian, Alex, Me (L=Luther), Bessie, Astrid

Happy Bowlers

Dancing Bessie, she would do a dance no matter what the outcome, and Bowler Alex, who confidently turns around after a roll to listen for a strike.

Me, Bessie and Adrian... Adrian is super competitive and has every right to be. He excels with everything he tries, he is awesome... punk. :)

Astrid & Bessie, Astrid just got her drivers license that day so nothing could bring her down that day. Another competitive person... congratulations.

Unfortunately no Turkeys that night but I have a feeling we might hit the alleys again before I leave for Montreal. Stay tuned.

It has been a while since my last entry so much has happened. Ontorio was finally blessed with good weather. It couldn't have happened at a better time. I only have a few more days until I head over to Montreal to meet up with my friend from home, James. but before Montreal, I wanted to get lost in Toronto and really ride around in it to see what obvious treasure it has to offer. The weather forecast predicted two day of good weather, so on April 19 and the 20th, it was time to execute my simple plan.

Beautiful Day

So I rode in and learned so much from just watching, this is what I learned...

After a long day of riding the motorcycle this is the only thing that really sticks out. Kinda funny read on if you like.

Did someone request more motorcycle pics... Look at that bike sooo pretty.

Spirit Catcher...

...that is definitely a spirit catcher. Orange is way better than black. (the other available color for the KTM)

These are shots I took during my trip around lake Simcoe. The actual location of this shot is in Barrie, Ontario. If you guys get a chance chigidy check it out... its a really nice sculpture... the wings swing and it poops every hour, Just kidding but the wings do swing.

YAR!!! Enough said. Hope everyone has a good one, ay.
