Mystery of The Ghost Town




Do you believe in the existence of ghost? Believing the presence of the past?

During my road trip to Calgary, AB, I came across this Heritage Ghost Town in Three Valley Gap, B.C. It was built in the 1800s by an average married couple, Gordon and Ether Bell. 

"I believe we can't move into the future without understanding our history," and so Bell built this town to preserve the history for future generations. How amazing is he?


Gordon, himself, was an average man trying to live normally. Throughout his life, he experienced self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and independence, which brought him into achieving a goal- to help those who needed. 





Just as I went into the entrance, I could see a small doll, lying alone in front of a big mirror. It reminds me of Annabelle though, cute but creepy.


Here is a picture of the town. Quite neat right? 














The town was more into a vintage style, which is obvious since it was built a long time ago. One of the best places was the bar. It looks exactly like in cowboy movies, where they usually do all those typical 'cowboy' activities - drinking beer, playing decks of card, shooting guns.

Dora the explorer has already existed in the late 1800s, really?

After years of hard-working, the couple successfully bought acres of land and built their own private museum. This town was also built beside Lake Chateau, a perfect complimentary view. 


 He passed away in 2007, having four children and twelve grandchildren. The town has now become a heritage for the upcoming generations. 


Unfolding the truth about the bygone times could be as interesting as watching your favorite movie.

I couldn't really recall why it is called a ghost town. But, a couple of visitors said that they found a picture of 'ghosts' with their camera in one of the rooms. I didn't manage to visit all of the places since it was big. Oh well, ghosts are ghosts right?

Blue World



Blue is the color that has surround us since our birth. 
It is the color of the clear bright sky and the water of the sea. 
It is calming. It is something that are surrounding us everyday, yet we give such little attention to it.
Blue is also my favorite color, and as today,
let me show you some things that I love, involving the color blue.

I'm so blessed to be in such a beautiful country!
have a nice day

Bitter Sweet


Life is like a dark chocolate bar.
The first bite is sweet,
but the sweetness itself won't last,
leaving bitterness as an after taste.

It is what we called bittersweet.

 


 
(Can we stop and appreciate the creator of this cute handbag? Yes, it is a bag shaped like a large chocolate bar with a bite. Blessed them for this gem.)
 (I also tried to take a bite, but it didn't really taste like chocolate, boo)


(And I love this jeans so much, it is by far the most comfortable pants in my wardrobe, not to mention you could wear absolutely anything with these)

 
All of us will have a bittersweet life. It won't be perfect, but the way you live is the way your life will taste. You may just be open minded, accept the bitterness, and just enjoy every second of the sweetness. On the other hand, you could also only focus on the bitterness of the chocolate instead, eventhough it won't be a pleasant ride.

 No matter how hard life can be, just enjoy the things that are worth enjoying instead of grieving about what have been done.
