One of them said it's suspicious that I started my Youtube a month ago, and uploaded a few cake videos in one day,
and there's a lot of fake profiles on Youtube.  The other guy told me how it's so easy to steal someone's
identity online.

Well, my old Youtube was Joweelo (Joey Lo), but I wanted to change my name to match my blogspot name. 
So I deleted all my cake videos that were there but I kept the Joanna_said_So video there.  I uploaded all my cake videos to
CakesbyJoannaLo then I changed my mind on the name (yes, I should've planned this out better!) since there's
already several CakesbyJoanna from around the world... so  I started a new Youtube again, the name is
TheCakingGirl (It's final!) and I stayed up til 4am uploading all the videos in one day (yes, I have very slow internet!). 

I also have brown hair in my Youtube profile pic, but my hair is black now.... I swear, I'm real!

Oh, and my name is Joanna, but I go by Joey. The only people who calls me Joanna are my coworkers.
So Joey on my social media profiles and Joanna on my Facebook and Twitter.. I'm real! I swear!

BC is blessed with breathtaking landscapes,  here are my long overdue trip photos!



British Columbia, here we come! :)

  



flew to Vancouver!



At some seafood market




  



Shangri-La Hotel, my friend's bf hooked me up with a free voucher!!
It was a one bedroom suite, so we let my parents stay there, the rest of us
stayed at my sister's place.

The suite was gorgeous!

 




The little balcony



 




  






    



My first Japadog experience!! OMG it was to die for...

  








Lots of yummy Jap restaurants in Vancouver downtown.


 
              
 My sister made us a home cooked meal.

 

$0.99 oyster special! We had three rounds! Seafood in Van tastes sooo much better.

Icy roads!!




About 6 cars and trucks slid off the road and needed assistance.







We weren't prepared for the 4 inch snow! Our socks and sneakers were soaked.

The trip was perfect, I had my blackberry off almost the entire time,
I was with my family, my top 8, I had no reason to pick up any calls hehe.
I would love to snowboard in BC the next time I visit.


That's all for now, I'll upload NYE pictures soon!

 

my cakes and made it into a video as many of you have suggested, took me a while but I did it!

Video editing is really not my thing, I had to bug many of you
for tips in the past, thank you for all the help!

Adobe Premiere looks like a spaceship panel, I think my eyes are permanently smaller from
 all the squinting, those iddy biddy buttons.
I actually had to cheat by making parts of it with Window's Movie Maker and Youtube's video editing first lol.
I have several bald spots on my head now after making this video.  I hope you guys like it lol.

Okay, so here's my first video.. please be kind!





Ta da.........

Okay, lemme know what you think.

Day 5 of my trip.. Hello from Whistler!

Just waiting on everyone to get ready so we can head out to the main village.
Whistler's awesome, minus the bear we saw in the main village on our way to the restaurant!




Here's a view from our cottage, you can't really tell from this webcam picture,
but it's snowing here!



Me :)



I said I wouldn't get my nails done with the ridiculous fobby acessories..



but I did it to my phone lol. I got a custom case for my pinkberry.



Crackers, icing, cream, candy, waffle, half eaten chocolate. Ridiculous? Yes.


Still not as cute as my nails last time though,

 


It's our last day here in Whistler, heading back to Vancouver tonight. Post later! Bye!
