Elbow San: Agh
*All I Want For Christmas by Mariah Carey starts to play*
I, don't want a lot for Christmas...
There is just one thing I need...
I don't care about the presents...
Underneath the Christmas tree...
I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need
And IIIIIII- Don't care about the presents- On Christmas dayyyy
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come trueeee
All I want for Christmaaaas is youuuu
Yooouuuu baby oh- Oh god I need a bra very bad
You had three things pointing at you there
We just got-
*groans*
Our pots
and-
Oh, it's so cute I didn't know it was this size
No way babe...
Our beds are coming today and I got a screwdriver set that's smaller than my hand
You can use this to see
We only got like six- less than six hours of sleep last night but I'm so hyper
OoOo
Well, you guys are in for a treat today, I have so much home ware hauls to show you. So many home ware hauls to show you
*Sneezing*
Ooh I got it on camera!
*Laughing* It's so loud! That wasn't even your loudest
Cause you didn't have all day to suck up all the air- That you just had about
How long have you been awake for 30 minutes?
Actually, It's not like you weren't breathing all night
Babe...
But I swear you have louder
Morning coffees with Elbow San <3
*Music*
Good morning everybody, and welcome to Vlogmas day 1!
I know. This is crazy!
December has come so so fast, I think since June my life has just been a whirlwind and we're already here
It's Vlogmas day 1. Whose kitchen is this? What is going on? Where are you? I know-
Shh shh
First let's watch this year's vlogmas opening which was created by an artist named Jackie files
I'm so excited to show you guys and I'm gonna explain everything later
*Music*
I have one suitcase just for Christmas stuff
I think I need to settle down
We are on our way to the airport
Moving to Canada... day 1. How do you feel babe?
Yeah new house, new country, new life.
-you most looking forward to?
NBA games? Raptors?
My family is probably gonna try and get you into hockey too. We believe
Yeah, you will have to be- Because you're a Canadian now. Just arrived in Canada
You go through a machine that prints out a ticket and I got my favorite number 14
Which Elbow San is saying it's bad luck in Chinese culture.
I die hard?!?
It's my favorite number- It's my birthday number.
Really?! What about the 4th floor?
4 & 14 & 24...
So I was born to die
Aren't we all though? Yeah-
Ahh
We made it
Let the crazy week begin
We can do it!
*Music*
Got the keeey!
Let's go!!
*Excited dancing*
*Drops phone*
Babe!
Let's go!!!
Oh my goodness, it's empty
We did it!!!
Our first home. I never thought It was gonna be in Canada. I thought it would be in Hong Kong.
We beat our Hong Kong one first.
*Jumps* Hahaha
All right so let's talk. I'm in Canada, we moved here- We actually moved in this place late last night
We finished unpacking at 2:00 a.m.
And
There's a little bit of an echo because we don't have everything here. There's not a lot of furniture
we do have some of the furniture from the previous tenant like this stuff because we got a package deal but especially
upstairs is very empty and
Um
Yeah, we're living in Canada, we're also living in Hong Kong. I know a lot of people were confused
Maybe you didn't see previous vlogs where I explained that
Um
Basically, our house wasn't ready in Hong Kong yet to move into at the end of this year
So we are gonna move into that one in January and we're gonna have the two places and just go back and forth
It's gonna be like that probably until we have kids and we decide where they go to school and where we will live on
The longer term, but either way we will always be coming back and forth because we have families and work in in both places
So yeah, that's how we're gonna do it. And then the biggest question is, where is Rosie?
so I
thought I could bring Rosie here and I was planning to do it and then I looked how I was supposed to do it and
I realized it's kind of a bit tricky because going to Canada she can be in the cabin with me
It's about a 15 and a half hour flight ride, so that would be fine
But coming back Hong Kong's and China. All of China doesn't allow dogs to ride in cabin at all
Doesn't matter what size doesn't matter anything it can't ride in the cabin
It has to ride in cargo and she's done that before- because coming to Hong Kong from Japan
She had to do the same thing. I thought that it was just the airline. I didn't realize it was all airlines. But yeah
So and you the dog needs to be there four hours
Before and it takes about four hours after so it would be a 24 hour day for her
traveling by herself in a lot of stress
So It's definitely not worth it for her for one month. So she is staying in Hong Kong. She's staying in our home
so she's in her own bed with
Someone very close to our family someone that knows her very very well and has known her for a long time
And yeah, she's doing well. I have- I get updates all the time. She happy she's eating a lot. And yes, she's comfortable
So I think that that was a better choice if we're gonna stay here
Longer I need to look into other options- if any of you guys have any ideas
Please let me know because I was even thinking to fly
somewhere where she could travel in cabin somewhere closer like Korea or Japan or something and then do
the cargo for a shorter flight that could be an option, but then I have to do all the
paperwork and vaccinations for those specific countries and yeah
I just don't know if it'd be too much. It's very very very tricky
And then also you guys want to know about Natalie. Is Natalie still working for me? What's going on with that?
Yes she is because we will be going back to Hong Kong and she's working for me from Hong Kong and
When I'm not there and we're not shooting. She basically does admin stuff such as
translation she translates every video into English and Chinese for my
Hearing-impaired taytor tots and also people who don't speak English for a first language or I guess anyone
The main reasons why you would need subtitles and yeah, let me show you around what we have
There's this little kitchen area here.
So this we got with the house. There's a very nice Italian stove here
We got the coffee machine yesterday. So you've got a few pieces in this is the fridge
Look at my cute little slippers. I got my whole outfit on ASOS.Com. They have the cutest pajamas always for every
Festive season. This is what my bedroom looks like
So we're just sleeping on a mattress on the floor right now our bed just arrived
So we're gonna be setting that up later today. So I'll have a bed to sleep on. This is my closet
Which is also very blank. We don't have hangers yet
It literally looks like an elf's closet. It's literally all Christmas stuff
And my bathroom is here, this is where I just got ready and you'll see more of around the house in my vlog
So I'm not really gonna do a house right now because we're still getting deliveries
Um
Not everything's set up
laundry drying here
Put that away
Um
so I'll do a proper one, but honestly, I feel like it's not even going to be done when we leave here because
We kind of came at a bad- Well a good time and a bad time. It-
It's a good time because we came during Black Friday sales. So we got all of our home items
At such a good deal
We got our mattress like a third of the price... All the appliances that yeah, like everything was twenty, thirty, forty, percent off
So we got such good deals
That was great. The bad thing is is that Canada Post was striking
I'm not sure if they still are at the moment. The post office is all backed up and deliveries are all late
So a lot of things that we're supposed to arrive haven't yet, and a lot of things are. Yeah, they're
Basically until we leave we're gonna be receiving things. And even after we we leave the house isn't gonna be done.
Oh our food
This is our lunch, we're gonna share.
Forget what kind of bowl this is. It's just all different veggies and guacamole
Rice, and this is a Mexican burrito bowl, and I also got this
It has vegan probiotics in it, aloe vera, agave, lime water. It's really good. And soup.
We're just on the way to the grocery store now
My brother's coming down with Morgan and my mom with her boyfriend. I think Blake and Morgan are staying the night
so we are just going to get some food and stuff to prepare and some other things we need and
We have about one hour to get there and back. So It's gonna be really really fast.
*Music*
We're back at our place now,
They're playing sequence and we just ordered pizzas. I'm gonna put away the groceries still sitting there and
Then I think we're going to go to the the Christmas market
What are you doing?
Blake's beatboxing
Oo my battery's already dying
Weren't you supposed to have your first video up today?
No, we film it and it goes up tomorrow
So we finished dinner and now we're on the way to the Christmas market. It stopped raining for a bit
So we're gonna try and get in there quickly maybe for an hour and see what it's like
I've never been to the market in Toronto before so...I don't know what to expect!
A market
We just got in the wrong Uber...
My dad works for Uber in the main office
We just got in the wrong Uber...Realized it
I wonder if she got in our uber
Classic mix-up. Classic.
So there's nothing inside? You can put whatever you want besides I want this plane, you know, they have roll over there in the back and they cook them inside here
Aaah cool!
*Music*
(I love all the Christmas spirit! - Claire <3)
Hot chocolate time. Which one do you guys want?
Kay, just made them some hot chocolate and now I'm gonna set up their bed. We got our beds,
Lemme show you. we just ordered ours on Structube, which I've never heard of before coming to Toronto
But apparently a lot of people
Order stuff for their condos on there. This is the other bedroom
I just want to show you guys before I do their duvet. Look at these cute bed sheets
they're really wrinkly cuz I just washed them and put
Them in the dryer and now they're wrinkly and I don't have an iron but look at the design
I got them at Pottery Barn and they're so cute. There we go
Bed's ready
And here is the bathtub. I put a little-
Bath bomb there and I just tried this new shower gel. It's lavender is really nice before you go to bed. Really relaxing
*whispers* Just setting up the sink here
Smoked them 2-0!
My first time playing this game
Girls win we're playing girls versus boys
It's after midnight now, I'm ready for bed!
I'm not ready for bed actually, I need to take off my makeup
But yeah, that's day 1 of Vlogmas all finished!
My brother and his girlfriend Morgan are sleeping over tonight and then tomorrow I'm meeting up with my friend
Alyssa too - I think we're gonna go around and go to maybe a Christmas market and
I dunno what else we're gonna do actually. It's a Sunday
Yeah, I'm so tired
We're starting this Vlogmas off with like, very little sleep already. Usually I'm like
I get really exhausted maybe halfway through but yeah, it's been
It's been good. I guess the worst is over with all the moving and the business. But yeah, we're just really really tired
But I don't know I'll be okay. How do you like living in Canada so far?
*yawns* I like it
What's your favorite thing? Do you like about it?
Oh, friendly?
Multicultural, yeah, I like that too
Yeah
Good food too - good food. And yeah, very polite. Everyone's been so friendly and helpful like
even the shops
We went into to get stuff from like people just I don't know holding the door
Or helping us out on the street with directions when we're lost or recommending us things. Everyone's been really nice.
What about anything weird? or interesting?
We can smell weed everywhere (lol)
Yeah theres a lot of weed on the street now.
Literally always smell it. I think people saying "sorry" all the time.
I didn't realize it when I lived here people say Canadians always say sorry
I was like, "no we don't", but now that I've been removed and come back
I noticed people say it all the time. I say it too actually. But like for example the other day
We were going to get in the elevator
And as someone was coming out at the same time because he got off on the same floor and he's like apologize like oh, sorry
He's apologizing for exiting when he was supposed to just because we didn't we had to wait 2 seconds before we got in
But yeah, everyone always just says sorry to each other. It's kind of kind of nice
Kind of nice. I know a lot of you guys live here or I visited here
So if you have any spots
I should visit whether it be a shop or I don't know a museum or something to do or a restaurant anything cool
You know in the city
Please let me know in the comments or on any of our Instagrams because we have no idea where to go
I know a lot of you guys want me to show you around Toronto, but honestly
I don't know where I'm going because even when I lived here and I was modeling,
I didn't- I just like came into the city for modeling like for an audition or for a job and I would go straight to the
Studio and then I would go back home
I was kind of scared to drive around the city because I was just a small town girl
so
Yeah, I really don't know what's happening around here. So let me know if you guys know
Alright, so yeah, we're gonna get ready for bed now and then sleep. I need to figure out my schedule
Before I would edit in the morning and I would post a vlog at night, but now my timezone is flipped, so I don't know
I don't know, I don't know whats best. Anyways, I will see you guys tomorrow with another vlog
Um
Yeah, see you then! Goodnight! Ooo...
*whispers* Goodnight! -.-
I miss Rosie. >.<
I miss Rosie too! :(
Bye guys!
Thanks for watching! Much love to Taylor and Elbow-San! (Subtitles by Claire <3)
