What I got for xmas 2011 =]

Hey everyone!, anyone going back to school yet? My classes starts next MONDAY(1/9/12) >< not that excited. I'm taking an extra course as a backup just so that I can make sure I have more than enough credits to graduate this term =D. So happpy to finally graduate SOON =O.. Only 4 more months of school =D but I have no idea what I wanna do after that aside from being a freelance makeup artist... mmmmmm?!?!??!


Anyways, on to the pretty stuff I got for xmas.  Just a heads up, I don't exchange presents with every single family member (like brother, brothers in law etc..) and don't exchange presents with every girlfriends (because we do secret santas within different groups of friends so that's much better =D) oh and lastly, because bf and I are trying to save up money for our future and since we don't want anything (materialistic) this year we decided to not spend money on presents and save it up for future needs. We stayed home on xmas day, made diiner and watched a couple of reallly good movies the CLICK, and a chinese movie called Yip Mann (chinese translation of the name). This is a Chinese Kung Fu movie based on a true story. Yip Mann is the Kung Fu Master/teacher of Bruce Lee. It was such a goooood movie!! I loveeeeee it!!...wowww I am so OFF topic.. opps

Ok here we go....

Blue Mountain anyone?

I can't believe it's almost Christmas and I JUST finish having my last final exam today and I'm glad it's all over. Although it's been cold and snowing for a while now, it still felt to me like it was summer/fall because I was literally stuck at home studying or going to work once a week. Until my bf took me to Blue Mountain this past Saturday that I started feeling Christmas around the corner and realized that winter IS here already…

The village you can see the hills on the background =]

My bf and I and a couple of friends went to Blue Mountain to snowboard and I was so excited for this trip because it's my first time going to Blue Mountain although it was not my first time snowboarding nor skiing. I don't mind snowboarding/skiing anywhere but I really wanted to go to Blue Mountain for its scenery so I was glad my bf took me to Blue Mountain. What got me super excited was the night view at the village, I was expecting a ginormous village but it turned out that the village is quite small. Perhaps it’s because I was comparing it to the village at Mont Tremblant which is a lot bigger although Blue Mountain is not bad at all for its distance (1.5 to 2 hrs drive) from my house as well as the price for the rental and lift. I also thought the night light would be blue for some reason, perhaps from the name itself LOL. Aside from all of this, one thing I really liked about Blue Mountain are the lessons they had. They will teach you step by step first letting you get use to the board on a small hill on the side of the walk way before letting you go on the bunny hill. This ensures that you have a good base before heading to the steeper hills. Now, if I were to go snowboarding again at a more frequent rate I would much rather go somewhere closer rather than driving 1.5 hr. I’m so glad that my friend Jenny introduced me to that place because it is only 5-10 mins away from where my bf lives. Not bad right? Although I have to say the view is not nice at all and the hills are smaller but that’s okay because if not like I’m a pro at snowboard that would need those Black diamond hills =P

Mont Tremblant s2

Anywyas that’s all I have to say about my trip, I cant wait to go again soon. I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year/Feliz navidad y un prospero ano.

I need to fill this up soon ^^
