V-Day weekend

honestly had an awesome v-day weekend. =)

on friday all i wanted to do was get OUT of school hahah! so afterschool, me and my dad went to chick's sporting goods to rent snowboard gear for saturday cuz i was going with michelle and dom up to mt. high for an awesome day of fresh paoowdaaaa! so we head over there and theres a HUGE sale going on right now 10-50% everything. another store closing sale unfortunately. so my dad saw that sale and started asking about boards and what kind of deal we can get and what they had to offer. and i was still in the mindset of getting just rental. but then my dad decided that he would buy me a board and bindings for an early b-day present. hey i won't complain =) i was really surprised! but i just need to get boots now which we did rent. so i walked out of there a happy boy =))) it's just that my actual b-day won't be so jolly cuz i already got the present lol.

saturday. MT. HIGHHHH! this was my first time up in the mountains with fresh snow. and it was sooo much fun!!! michelle and dom took me on the intermediate slopes. and the lift going up was REALLY fast. so i was nervous at first heading up there. and of course it was FREEEEEEEZING. something 25 degrees? X___X so since the snow was fresh, everytime i would fall it wouldn't hurt as much. but the snow would just get everywhere lol. sometimes i would fall forward and the snow would just get all over my face and i would look like an old man XD and then all the snow would go down my jacket BRRR!! and also my knitted scarf would get covered in snow too. while up on the slopes i was starting to be able to carve!! dominic was helping me out with that cuz i honestly had no clue how to do it. and when we would get down to the bottom of the mountain we would go over to where there was these ramps for the rails. except we wouldn't ride the rails. we were going off the ramps thats all =) some i landed. the others i fell. one of michelle's friends were up there too and he also tried the jumps with us and it was so funny. around 3 o'clock or so we were heading to the restaurant at the base cuz we were starting to get hungry. while in there, michelle was trying to decide on what to get since everything there is pretty expensive. while we were about to walk out, we saw suzie friedman walk by. me and michelle were like, oh wait is that... but she was soaking wet so we didn't really say anything.

by then a grey gloomy cloud was starting to cover the top of the mountain. we sat around thinking wondering if we really want to go back up for one last run before our 8 hour pass was up. those clouds were a lil intimidating. but in the end we went up. when we got to the top it was like extreme fog! it was tight snowboarding down though cuz it was all foggy and hard to see anybody lol. but i was able to consistently carve down on the less steep parts =) so i'm happy that i starting to be able to carve. i'm just nowhere close to consistent. so overall it was an awesome v-day!

sunday. i think something woke me up around 2 o'clock in the morning... so i didn't get that great of sleep after that. but i woke up later and i returned the rental boots and headed off to church. the sermon was about how christians are typically afraid to spread the gospel which is 100% true. i've found myself hesitating to spread the word because i would either get nervous, or afraid that the person won't care. so maybe thats something i should try someday. after church we had our usual 3rd sunday potluck and the theme was potatoeees! it was awesome as usual =) after that, i went home to grab some stuff and headed off to irvine.

so i arrived like almost an hour later that i was supposed X_X. and upon arriving there was some unexpected drama that also showed up....but things improved later. so i got to hang out with nicole for a while and later on met up with jayvee and also one of nicole's newer friends meghan li. EVERYBODY JOIN THE MEGHAN LI IS ANNOYING GROUP ON FACEBOOK!! its just for fun just in case you were wondering. she's not really annoying but just join it =) anyways they took me to the commons at middle earth called Pippin. college food in general is so much better than the crap we have back at ayala hahaha! anyways it was fun getting to hangout with those guys plus it gives me a better idea of what college life is like. oh and traffic is nice heading back home at 1:20 am cuz theres hardly any cars XD only thing was i would drift into other lanes cuz i was so tireddd.. but i was able to hold on till i got home wheww. i guess that green tea wasn't strong enough in caffiene.

now for today! woke up at 10:30 very refreshed. still sore as hell from snowboarding but better nonetheless. my mom wanted me to do another photo shoot with someone different to potentially save money cuz prestige photos is expensive. i don't get what she worries so much about. she's probably gonna end up spending more this way.... oh well. pics were kinda cool in the end. after that i was on the comp some more messing around on pet society oh gawhshh. haha! and then later in the day i finally got my photo sesh pics when i was chiling with gerry, alan, joseph, and taylor developed. got some really good shots in =) i'll upload later!!
