The Accent Did It...

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Nikolett of Better Than Coffee again after our long 9 month separation! :P We only got to hang out for a couple of hours but it was fun nonetheless.


We stopped for fries and gelato here. We had such a giggle about the name "Bojangles" because it's more of a Southern name but they were serving Italian gelato, and the owners/all workers were Chinese. Haha!



What's a Kym + Nikolett meet-up without jumping photos! This time, we attempted to make it look like we were levitating (we've graduated from just "ordinary" jump shots)... we didn't quite perfect it but i'm sure we'll get it right the next time we see each other! :)


We attempted a D-I-Y photo of both of us with the above view in the background (you know, where you awkwardly stretch out your arm and take a photo of yourself) and guys walking by kept asking us if we wanted them to take the photo! It was funny b/c at one point, 2 guys (i won't say the race to avoid offending anyone) came up to us and said...

"Laaaadddiiiiesss, want us to take your photo?

....in a really creepy manner. We just looked at each other, back at them, and said "uhhh.. no, it's okay, we're good."About 5 seconds later, a British guy and his buds walked up to us and Brit guy just kind of came up to us with command and made the gesture as if he was taking a picture as a way of letting us know he was offering to take the picture. I guess we were quite mesmerized by his hotness that we didn't "get it". He then said, in his british accent, "let me take your photograph". We agreed (and giggled). As they walked away, the other two creepos who asked to take our photo walked by us again and probably saw that we allowed someone else to take our photo. Haha! I felt a little bad... but remembered how creepy they were. They had an accent too... but it didn't quite cut it as much as the guy with the British Accent. ;)

What is your favourite accent?

Part 2 of Nikolett & Kym (aka Boots & Cats)


Please don't de-friend us, we're normal people...we promise. hahaha! 

Just as Nikolett and I were getting to know each other, she has to go back to Ontario! It's cliche, but when we hang out, it's as if we've been hanging out for years. She gets me. She gets that I have to go to the washroom every 15 minutes b/c she does too. She gets that scars make you unique b/c she has the same scars that I have. She gets that it's okay to sing in a man voice every once in a while... especially to Cher's "BerieveBelieve". I'm going to miss you! But we'll surely see each other again...either in Vancouver or Hamil-ronto. :)




Before heading here I said "I hope you're not creeped out, but i'm bringing you to an abandoned parking lot" hahaha! There was a purpose for this - we had dinner at Bakudanyaki which is served out of a trailer in a parking lot. 

one of many of our jump shots - check out my hair! 

we're hot stuff. 

both reppin' Herro Hachi ;) 

Beautiful sunset to end our evening... 

Till next time! 
have a great weekend :)

My First Blogger Meet-up/Hang out! Eeeek!

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of finally meeting Nikolett from Better Than Coffee...also the talented genius web designer behind my official website: www.herrohachi.com! She's visiting from Hamilton, ON (the opposite side of Canada) to visit her sister Fab Brunette here in Vancouver. :)

I was a bit nervous at first as if I was about to go on a blind date with someone. What if she doesn't like me? What if we don't hit it off? What if I have food stuck in my teeth and she's too shy to tell me? haha! It didn't help that I was late too... due to unforeseen circumstances. Sorry Nikolett! =/

Anyway, on to our adventures....first, I took her to Japadog for some heart-cloggingly good hotdogs!



We exchanged gifts as well - I got her my Live, Love, Laugh, EAT! Tank Top and an "I <3 Coffee" pouch from local friends, Kukubee! IT'S HER BIRTHDAY AT THE END OF THIS MONTH! :D She got me a beautiful purple hand knit scarf! Can't wait till it gets warm enough for me to wear it, thanks Nikolett!


Yes, yes... I realize it looks like it says "Live, Love, Laugh, FAT" hahaha! ;P

It's a pretty known fact that Nikolett loves Coffee... obvs since it's in her blog name... but did you know she's also as crazy about Nutella as I am? It only made sense that I bring her to a popular little spot downtown called Cafe Crepe....and it only made double sense that we both ordered a Strawberry and Nutella Crepe with a hint of cognac. ;D YUM!




Short lil' me with Nikolett in front of the Vancouver Public Library :D

Before parting ways, we wanted to do a short lil shout out video for our mutual bloggy friends! If we missed anyone, sorry! We kinda did it on a whim and there'll probably be a PART 2 coming soon! :D We found a little spot at a coffee shop but there were many people passing by which is why i was giggling so much. haha! Enjoy!

There is a "normal" shoutout, a robotic shoutout, and a freestyle shoutout. Haha!


WISH YOU WERE ALL THERE!
