Vancouver Limo

Achoo!

Crap.

I'm sick. AGAIN. =( I feel terrible. Went to the Vancouver Limousine office yesterday, worked the day shift, and had to leave early because I used a whole box of Kleenex, sneezed through the day, and couldn't answer a few calls because I'm losing my voice. ACHOO! S'cuse me. Went home and slept all night.

Well... woke up at 10 AM and boy do I feel better! Still pretty sick though, but minus the painful headache and sore throat :-D. Worked the morning shift at the Vancouver Limo office again and had some yummy chicken noodle soup for lunch. Guess I need to buy a warm jacket for the winter :-(

Limousine Vancouver

Ugh, the Jay Z are here today down at the GM place. Not that i dont like them, but that means my job is going to be more crazy. Why? Well, first of all, the streets are going to be jammed packed, the people are going to be drunk, wild, and excited, and the limos are going to be trashed, meaning I'll have to work overtime cleaning up the booze. NOT looking forward to that, but hey, a job is a job and I'll do it since Classic Limousine pays me well. Well, wish me luck!

SUV Limousine Vancouver

All you can eat Japanese buffet

Rented a limousine from Vancouver Limousine last night and took my buddies to a restaurant in Richmond. It was my best friend's birthday and she didn't feel like doing anything except staying home so 8 friends and i arrived at her place in an SUV limousine and surprised her with gifts. She left them at home and rushed to change, when she came out she was wearing her new black dress from BCBG, and we all thought she looked stunning in it! We then cruised around her neighbourhood (Vancouver Westside) and went down Granville street to Richmond. I thought the inside of the SUV limousine looked great, there were disco lights and a newly installed fog machine, the only one in Vancouver I believe! We went to Ninkazu and it was like a feast, we kept ordering Tuna and Salmon sashimi and all sorts of things. A meal & a birthday to remember =). After dinner, our limousine driver took us to Downtown and we went to the Caprice nightclub. It was a great evening.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend :-)

The month of October!

The cold weather is here and Halloween is coming up! Time for me to go shopping with my little niece and nephew for their Halloween costume. Wonder where I should go shopping? I heard that Value Village has a huge selection for Halloween costumes. I have never been there before. I had recently heard on the radio that Winners is also having a huge selection of Halloween Costumes. Guess I can check both stores for Halloween costumes. My nephew wants me to go and check out Zellers. There are two places that I could go, Zellers at Metrotown Centre or Zellers at Oakridge Mall in Vancouver. Guess, I will be so busy shopping for my niece and nephew. That will be so fun, going around and trying on Costumes. Hope all of you will have fun picking your Halloween Costume. Have a fun and spooky Halloween Day and don't forget to get fireworks!!!!!

Tired

*Yawn* haven't been getting much sleep lately. Being a university student and a Vancouver Limousine driver at the same time sure is hard... but since we're in October, we're gonna slow down... everyone is. This is probably a tough time in the transportation industry.

Here's a pic of Vancouver Limousine's guard dog: Turbo!! :-)

Isn't he just adorable? Too bad he didn't growl like he does for the driver he hates!

Limousine Vancouver

Turbo

I was at the Vancouver Limousine office yesterday and our dog "Turbo," a very friendly dog hates one of the drivers. He wouldn't let one of the drivers into the office and everytime the driver tried to step past him, Turbo would growl and shift his position. However, when I walked up the steps, Turbo wagged his tail and let me in right away. The other driver was kinda choked when he saw that I got to walk right past him. When I was in the office, the phones were ringing like crazy and the poor receptionist had to answer all the calls by herself.... I'd hate to do that!

Vancouver Limousine Wedding

So I finally got over my cold, it's been a week and a half already! I've only got 2 short transfers tomorrow, which is pretty strange for a Saturday. Usually I have either a biiiiig Vancouver Limousine Wedding (ranging from 4-8 hours) or a 3-5 hour Vancouver Limousine tour in the evening. Maybe August 8th, 2009 isn't a popular date to get married or something? Well hopefully next week will be busier so I get more jobs! Cha-ching.

Awww man

Hey guys! I've been sick for the past week :-( it totally sucks because I feel like crap and the weather is just a-mazing, but I can't even hit the beach or do anything, since I am stuck at home sweating my butt off, eating chicken noodle soup and congee all day, and watching the soap operas. I can't wait until I get rid of this cold because my voice has changed and I can barely breathe through my nose. I've had to call in sick at the Vancouver Limousine Office for five days now and I'm already itching to get back! Sure hope it goes away soon.

Peace out, party hard!

Limo Vancouver

It sure is hot in the Vancouver Limousine Office today, got all the doors and windows closed to trap out the heat, got 3 fans blowing at me, I'm stripped down to my t-shirt and shorts, and I'm still sweating! Man, I wish I were outside... at the beach or something instead of working today. Haha, hope my boss doesn't see this!!

Vancouver Graduation Limousine

Grad season

Wow, I had absolutely no time to post for the past few months!

Know why? 'Cause the months of April, May, and June = graduation season; crazy kids booking a Vancouver Graduation Limousine for their prom and then going to party after, makes me wish that I was young and carefree again! Even though it has been really hectic, it's also been really fun and now that the grad season's over, it's wedding season all summer! My favourite time of the year since there's lots of money to be made ;)

Friday's here

Hooooolly shittt. Friday's . Fricken. here.



You ever get that urge to curl up and hibernate for the next 3 months?
I should be able to! I worked like , 3-4 small jobs today that the boss at Vancouver Limousine called me for.

I'd say PURDY good for a recession, don't ya think?



hahah



Maybe I should go out and take a breather, maybe eat at the Stone Grill restaurant and take in the view of the water :-D I'm classy, ain't I?



Well, nothing else to say. Til next time.

States

Hey guys,

I'm back again! I took a few days off work and went to the United States of America with my family for some shopping! On Friday I started my trip off by going for breakfast at a Dim Sum restaurant. After dim sum, we drove to the border and had to wait two hours for the line-up :-( that totally sucked, lol, but during that time I went into the duty free store to check out the stuff. They had a lot of alcohol on sale :P bought 3 bottles of Crown Royale for just $55! No tax and stuff like that. After the two hour wait, we drove to the Seattle Premium Outlet, I was like "OMG! I'm gonna shop like crazy!" but turns out, there weren't an good sales :-(! What is this?! It's like there isn't an economic recession at all.. I mean, the parking lots were full and there were sooo many people in the stores, I had to wait at least 15 minutes to make purchases, so after buying a hoodie, some jeans, and a t-shirt, I gave up trying to fight the crowd. I couldn't even look for a new suit for my job at Vancouver Limousine! Later on, drove to the Black Angus for a steak dinner. I had the New York Strip Sirloin for just $22 (not including tax & tip of course). After dinner, stayed at a nearby hotel called Embassy Suites and sweet! They had reception when I arrived, so I got to drink free wines and caesers ;) (well I paid lots of tips). The next morning, had a complimentary breakfast! Wow, it was a total buffet. Spent the rest of the day shopping around at the malls. Stopped by the Tulalip casino and guess what? I won $200 US! Sweet, eh? But after a few rounds on the slot machines, I had to be dragged away by my parents -- guess they don't want an addicted gambler in the family.

February 7, 2009

Went to Vancouver Limousine to pick up some work tonight, and wow! I have 5 jobs. Tonight is very busy. My first job is a pick-up in Vancouver and I have to take some people to the airport. The rest are short transfers to and from one place to another. Looks like I can't go home and sleep until 4 AM -- just like last week again.

Time for me to get going for my first pick-up!
Don't want the clients to be angry

January 26th 2009

Today, work at Classic Limousine was slow. Because the phone hardly rang and all the paperwork had been done the day before, I got stuck outside washing the limo. I wasnt expecting to go outside so I was wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Needless to say, it was freezing. Afterwards we got a call from Vancouver Limousine. They wanted to know if one of our vehicle were available to do a job for them since they had their car put in a shop for repair. We were happy to accept their job.

Happy Chinese &  Vietnamese New Years

Back at Vancouver Limousine again.

Had quite a few jobs last night, all the clients I transferred were Chinese. Good thing they were! Lots of them offered me some food, like rice and desserts. I even got some extra tips when I spoke a few words of Chinese - Gong Hei Fat Choy - they gave me a few "red envelopes." Had to do a 3:00 AM pick-up at a club on Davie for a couple of drunk guys.

Glad the snow and ice are all gone! I remember driving to Whistler was a scary ride for me. Good thing nothing happened to me or my limos, though I was stuck in traffic accidents quite a few times. Hope more events come up, since we're entering an economic recession and I might go broke. Ha-ha.

Slow Season

Well Vancouver Limousine and all the other limo companies in Vancouver are slow this year. What I hear is Griffin Transportation, Star and most companies drivers are all complaining that it is so slow. And February is usually a slow month most years (Yuck) :(.

Well there goes the vacation this year.

Wedding Day

Went to the Vancouver Limousine office and checked the agenda for today, holy crow! There are about 5 different couples getting married. Wow, today must be a popular day to get married. Too bad it's raining eh? I'm freezing my socks off typing this.

Looks like I'll be working all night... Awww, there goes my plans to watch the BC Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders fight it out. Dayyuum. Oh well, I can get my buddies to record it for me :-) That's what buddies are for anyways.

Whistler Limo

Whistler Season's Starting Soon

Haven't updated for a while, I've been pretty busy. Working at Vancouver Limousine can be pretty hectic sometimes, but I'm glad they have a flexible schedule. I mean, which other company lets you have days off when you want it? Which other company has nicer people in their office? The answer is none.

Okay. The other day, I got this job, and I had to pick up some guys in the super awesome white limousine (OMG, the best car ever.. after the SUV limo!), let's call them Bob from Toronto, David, and Lester. So they were on the phone with my boss, and they're all like... Yeah, so we're going to rent the limo for 2 guys and that they ONLY have 3 suitcases and 1 set of skis (They called when they were really drunk, ugh. you could hear the catcalling and frog horn blowing in the background). When I showed up, there were SIX drunken guys! Whoa... ! Plus they had 5 sets of skis / snowboards... and over 6 suitcases that I had to carry. I called my boss about this, how they totally lied about the job. Mid-sentence, Bob grabbed the phone away from me and started yelling at my boss, then he hung up! Then the phone rung, and I grabbed the phone back. My boss spoke to me and told me if they are verbally abusive to me that I should drive the limo away and apologize.. and leave the guys behind. So I followed his instructions. I took Bob's luggage out of the limousine and ignored his yelling "What the f*ck are you doing with my [designer] suitcase that I spent thousands on?" And I spoke to him calmly and instructed that they should call Whistler Limousine and that I could not accomodate him and then I drove the limousine away. When I looked in the rearview mirror, Bob, David, and Lester were running like crazy towards a bus. Haha :)

So all in all, being a driver can be such an adventure. I love it.

Cruise Ship Season

I have had many Americans ask me how many cruise ships come to Vancouver each year, I think it is about 300 trips in total but I could be wrong. I found a site Vancouver Cruise Ship Information. It is not up to date yet but probably will be soon. I wonder how many Americans will show up this year with our dollar as it is. Will wait and see.
