My calgarian background somehow

Who went to the Stampede Parade?! or who has gone to the Ground and eaten expensive mini-donouts and fat but delicious onion rings, or even gambling and riding games?? Well, I have and it was cool as always! Yahoo! (except for the high prices)
I really like the Stampede week! Everyone wearing cowboy clothes, hats, boots! Yeii,, I think that some part of my ethnic background has to do with cowboy people! Oh my god! I’m a very strange combination of blood then. You know? My mom is from Nicaragua, and probably if you didn’t pay attention to your Geography class in high-school, you are asking yourself, “What a hell is Nicaragua?! Well, Nicaragua is small country located in Central America just between Honduras and Costa Rica, now you know where I’m talking about? Anyway, my mom is from there and my dad is from Mexico, but the funny thing is that somehow I feel like I also have some background from Asia especially from Korea. Have you ever felt as though you belonged from another part of the world differently from your native country? Well, it has happened to me. It’s really interesting to me or I’m getting crazy. I’m not sure, but the fact is that besides my background came from Central America (Nicaragua), Mexico (Veracruz), and I feel like I have something to do with Korea (especially South Korea hahaha), now I also feel that I have something to do with the native cowboys (especially Calgarians hahaha). If any philologist that is reading my post please contact me to help me find myself!

Ps. Come to the Calgary Stampede!

The Entrance to the Ground!

How about that man who plays all those instruments at once!! He's amazin'!

Oh!!! what's that?! it's a man sitting and a bull taking a nap over him... That's common in the Calgary Stampede...


How about gambling a little bit after you won a big tiger in the previous game?



Yeiiii yeiii yeiii,,, mini-donouts!!!




Scary? Yes, maybe the weather didn't help the picture look nice... kkk... but actually it was nice!!!

What's more, i got free breakfast!!!! and of course free entrance as well!!!

This was a little of the parade!

howdy

Howdy!!

Stampede is coming!! How wonderful hey! Square shirts, hats, blue jeans and boots are what you are going to see within the next marvelous days.
I really like Calgary Stampede; what’s more, this year is going to be my second time witnessing (within the entire crowd) the stampede parade. I’ve heard rumors that several people dislike the Stampede period. They say so because either they don’t like the cowboy fashion style, or they simply don’t like to have a whole week full of fun activities. “Fun activities” meaning… drinking, hanging out until midnight and behaving like a crazy cowboy… Yahooo!! So anyway, in my case I wish I could have more ‘fun’ during the Stampede, but!, there is always a ‘but’, since I’m still studying in the EAP and I have to deliver tons of homework due to the time of the ‘Stampede week’, and study very hard, deep and complex in order to get A+’s in my Writing class, I will not be able to attend many of the temptable, unforgettable, magnificent and terrific shows that are carried out during the Stampede. However, I can’t miss the parade! Yahooo!!!
So hopefully I will see you there pretending to be an international cowboy-student.


P.s. Remember to wear sunblock, otherwise you will get more than a nice suntan, you will burn all your white and beautiful skin, or if you have already dark skin, you will probably be darker!!! So be careful,,, take care of your nice and soft skin!

Almost 18

My birthday is coming and I’m finally going to be and adult for the law. I will go and celebrate it to my hometown Mexico City. I’m looking forward to finish the EAP successfully and to be accepted into my faculty. After that, I will go to Mexico and have a nice vacation time with all my family and friends. We’ve already planned how I will celebrate my birthday. It’s going to be awesome! Besides, I will see all my family and friends, who I love, after 9 months without seeing them. I’m so excited since I really miss them and I’m so anxious that we will meet again. Frankly, I’ve had a wonderful time here in Canada, but it’s not the same as in Mexico City. Although I love Calgary, I miss a lot my country and my people. There are missing just two months, so I will try not to think too much in my future plans because I could get crazy! During the next months, I will be going through many changes such as turning 18, finishing EAP, leaving Calgary for a while, visiting my country, family and friends, coming back to Calgary, and hopefully being accepted at UofC.

Plan for tomorrow, but live for today!

Calgary, Canada.

Mexico City.

What a busy day!!!

Today Monday was an extremely busy day to me. First, I woke up at 6:30 and had yogurt for breakfast food. After I ate my “breakfast” (as the word says, it was really fast) I started doing the homework that I couldn’t finished during the weekend (so sad -_-). Then at 8:00 I took a shower and prepared my stuff to go to school. However, I wasn’t feeling so good since I had a little stomachache for a while. So that’s why I decided not to eat more for breakfast. Then, as always, I went out to clean the dog’s poo (little nasty, but anyway that’s what I do every morning) and then took out the garbage. Ahhh… I had to do the dirty jobs at home -_-^. Anyway, after I finished doing the dirty job I went in and since I had still a little time until going to school I decided to continue reading a book (the book report) and then I went out again, but this time was not anymore to clean the yard, this time I took the bus destination Rundle Station. Yes, finally I was going to school the school at 9:55. Then, of course, I had to take the train destination City Center and then transfer at Olympic Plaza Station to the train destination Dalhousie which is the one that takes me to the University every single day. After going for all downtown, finally, I reached UofC. Actually, I arrived there at 10:40 and went to the Douccete Library to print some copies of my essay (Writing Class). Then, I was rushing since suddenly I noticed I needed to go to Neal’s class. After I took whole Neal’s class, it was time to attend Dr. Sengupta’s class, which is one of the best classes ever since I like all the way how she teaches (I think I will miss her after she stops teaching us__ pfff__), and like always the class was wonderful to me; moreover, I got my Mid-Term exam and I was so happy that I passed it with great notes!!, though I could’ve done a better job. After the excellent class finished, I had my usual lunch break and I went to my appointment in the Effective Writing Centre. When I was there, the instructor cleared me all my questions and gave me advise. Then, very fast I went again to the Douccete Library and edited my essay so I could hand it out better in Writing Class. Suddenly, I saw the clock and again I was against the clock; besides, I needed to meet Dr. Sengupta for some handouts she hadn’t gave me. So I went quickly to her office and took them. Therefore, I was late to my Writing Class at 2:30, perhaps I arrived at 2:40 but it was okay though (I guess, since after my arriving there were more students late). Then, as always, Ana told us what we were going to during the two-hour class (I like she always explains what we are going to do!) her speech sounded pretty interesting to me (as always of course,,, so nice writing classes she teaches :D). After a while, we had our break time; however, I didn’t take it since I had to ask some questions to Ana about some late homework I put off. Then, she gave me my last quizzes and my Mid-Term Exam!!!... I was so surprised I didn’t do as bad as I thought I had done. So that made me happy one more time in my day. Finally, I finished my classes, but I wasn’t going to my house, I needed to go to the airport. Yes! One of my friend’s mother and sister were coming today to Calgary and I promised I was going to meet her at the airport. So I went as fast as I could to the train and then I took the bus destination Airport at Rundle Station. Everything was going well, when suddenly the bus driver didn’t know the Airport route!! Can you imagine the driver asking me which way to turn?? Ahhh…. Anyway finally the bus driver didn’t get lost and we reached the airport. Then, I was just on time before my friend’s mother and sister arrived. We met them, which was so exciting, and then helped them with their baggage. Then, I accompanied until their apartment in downtown, so after I went to their house I took way to my house at Rundle Station again! Finally finally finally, I arrived to my house and then, I had my first food of the day, I ate supper. Then, I noticed I needed to write one more posts in my blog for my Writing assignment. And this is what I am doing now, perhaps I took very long time but I wanted to let you know how my busy day was. I guess after I finish to write my big today’s adventure, I will do more homework, I have tons of homework; besides, I got a headache!!!! Ahhhhhhh….

But anyway, I need be responsible with my school.

So, see you and if you read until this part of my post you must be tired so now go and take a rest!!!

Ah, by the way,,, before you take a rest post me a comment -_-;;

Sun = hot and sweat body... What To Do -_-;;;;

Yeiii! the SUN is here and it’s really nice after the winter snowstorm!!! But it’s not really nice when you are traveling on the c-train at 4:00pm and suffocated by the HOT entire crowd that is going home after a hard HOT day working closed in their HOT offices and starting to smell not really nice, IS IT??? So what to do??? -_- what should you do when you are soooo hot and sweating like if you were in the Sahara desert because of the extremely sun burns your arms and cheeks? I have a fast solution! Just take the c-train destination downtown and get off at 8th street station. Then, when you get there, turn your head and look for the famous BUBBLE TEA SHOP! Yes! If you are Chinese and you are reading this, you must know what I’m talking about, hey! BUBBLE TEA is a fresh chinese iced beverage made of tapioca (small round fruit) plus your favorite fruit flavor on it! If you try it once you will not hesitate your anxiety of drink it again and chill your suffocating heat out for a while… Try it with some potato chips (any kind) and you will get satisfactory results after a glass of bubble tea!!! Furthermore, you will get a “Bubble tea shops’ membership card” and after you buy certain number of bubble tea beverages, you’ll get ONE ENTIRE BUBBLE TEA GLASS FOR FREEE!! Try it!!!

For more information about “Bubble Tea Shops’ membership card” please visit downtown bubble tea shop!

How’s it goin’? I’m pretty well,,, today is one of those sweltering usual weekend days where I just wake up late and do my cleaning stuff,,, like laundry, do my bedroom and…. -_- things like that ><>

Nothing special has happened in last week days, except that I pre-ordered the next book: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!!! That’s awesome ‘cause I’m part of the Harry Potter’s fandom and I remember in the past, before I came to Canada, usually the new books were late in my country because they needed to be translated into my country’s language,,, but now that I know enough English to read a book I can start reading it as soon as it arrives in the bookstores!! Yeah!! Besides, I saved 20% for pre-ordered it -_-///
I also excited about the movie premiere, it’s coming very soon!! Next July 13th and I must be there by that day!!!

Hey, I also got some Korean Rock songs!! Pretty funny to listen k-rock, thought I like it. Does anybody like “rock-punk” gender?? If u do and have some famous cool bands from your native country,,, please share them with me, I’m gathering international rock music,,, (yeah! ^^) As long as it’s “rock” it doesn’t matter what language the lyrics are,,, I’d like to get some good music from your country… So please let me know///
