Midterms

In calgary!!! at uofc!!!!

Yeah... studying and finally socializatin' with new people! hehehe
i've met so many more spanish people~~~ from colombia, venezuela, peru (one of my instructors!), argentina, and of course mexican,,,

Midterms have come and i gotta study,,, Fortunately this semester i just gotta do one essay which is great 'cause i dun have to write too much this time,,, besides the only essay i gotta write is a team essay meaning that im not writing, instead im lookin for the sources,,, hehehe

Russian is very difficult,,, hehe,,, is anybody there who is korean who can teach me my favorite foreing language?? hehehe,,,

Anyways,,, wish me good luck in my midterms!!

now

well well...





So, after a long time without writing on my blog, i will write again!


Hopefully someone will read it and post me a comment!! yeah~~





So, now, I'm again in Calgary, after going to Mexico to celebrate my birthday, i'm back.





I'm studying at UofC my degree, and it's going well, but the thing is that I'm really finding difficult to make some friends,,, it's really hard~~





I'd like to be more open, but i think i've got a little introvertide on that aspect.


So, anways, i like to write sometimes on this blog 'cause i like to express my feelings and thoughts... In response on that I'd like someones advise, maybe it would make me feel bit better... It's not that i feel bad or sad, but i do feel some depressed when i want to talk to someone but i don't have anyone who to talk to -_-;;; so it kind of sucks... It's really hard to be far from my parents. I really would like them to be here with me. to leave with them... they are the best parents ever and i really miss them. However, the good thing that i got now, is that my brother is here also in Calgary. He's also studying, though he is studying English... It's always easier to get to know your international classmates than canadian students... well, that happened to me...


Anyways.... That's Sisley's life so far... Trying to make friends -_-





Wanna be my friend??? haha,,, write me something.... haha

In Mexico

hey how's it goin'?

Maybe there's nobody from EAP creating any new post for their blog...  BUT! hopefully someone will read mine and post me something interesting on it.

Actually, i almost forgot i have a blog, not until my brother told me i hadn't posted any new post. That's why now im writing again, moreover, i want to practise

 my writing english before i start at UofC. Now i'm havin' three weeks of vacation with my family in Mexico City. So, i think it should be okay if i write some Enlgish... who knows just before i go to UofC i already forgot how to write!!!! that would be awful... instead im practicing my writin'  with this blog.  kkk

I'll write some more later... 

seeya

(ohh my writing is getting so boring... right?)

ANd here are some pics from Mexico city!!!

See you EAPP III

Although I’ve already finished my 12 blogs, I will keep writing ‘cause I like this stuff. I guess nobody else will continue writing their blogs, but if someday you are willing to type and share your life on the Internet…. I would say do it! (I’m a fan of the Internet -_-)
And finally, I want to share my opinion with you “My EAP classmates and teacher”. Even though this semester I didn’t have a big talk with anybody of you, I will miss you all at certain point in my life. It’s always kinda sad when you change your life routine and begin another. So, I wish you all good luck with anything you’re planning to do and never give up or kill yourself because you get an “F” on your writing essays -_-;;;

It’s almost gone the week and then we’ll have the famous big final exams, and then... probably we will not meet each other again……. So,,, my message is: BE HAPPY AND ENJOY LIFE!


And I’m waiting for your invitation to go to China!!!! or,,, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Taiwan, Peru, Venezuela, Ana's house(Actually, we should all go there... kiddin') … (and I think that’s it uh?) And of course you are very welcome to go to MEXICO!!! VIVA MEXICO!!!

See you guys and have fun writing the last essays one day before the due date @_@

Find yourself in the map!!!

ice-juice

Oh my gosh! I’m getting addicted to write blogs!!! I really like to type my life on the Internet! -_-. Hopefully, I will get full marks in this assignment, right Ana?
Anyway, today I dedicated myself to read as many blogs as I could, and I've also posted on some of them.

***This is how Calgary looks like with Sun!! ***

*** This is someone who thinks that Calgary is "TOO HOT IN SUMMER"***

Since I’ve read in many of your blogs that Calgary’s weather is too hot now, and that you hate it because you don’t have air conditioner at home and so on, I was perplexed and I started thinking about a good solution to help my classmates feel less hot. Then I came with a wonderful idea! I’ve decided to share with you “My dear EAPP classmates” what I do to feel less hot!!!
The following advice is especially useful for those students who cannot afford to buy a refreshing beverage such as Frappuccino (Starbucks), Ice Cappuccino (Tim Hortons) or even a single spoon of Ice Cream in the cheapest convenience store (so sad though).

***Example of someone who can afford to buy expensive cold beverages -_- ***

Since I consider myself as one more of those students who are short of money, I will tell you what to do to get some fresh cheap beverage!

I call it ICE-JUICE:
First, you need a small juice (if it’s possible get one of your favorite flavors!).
Then, you put it in the freezer… (If it’s that you have a freezer, otherwise this recipe will NOT be convenient for you)
After that, you just wait half day while your juice is getting frozen inside the freezer! (or even less time, it depends on how good quality your freezer is -_-)
Then, when you finally get your ice-juice, you will need to cut it in two parts with a knife in order to eat the frozen flavored liquid with a small spoon (*hint: it is not recommended to use chopsticks).
After you cut your juice in two parts, you are ready to eat the cool and refreshing iced beverage.

Confused????

Here are some images that ilustrates how your ice-juice should look like…

Then, you will be amazed with this revolutionary idea and even you will try to do it with other kind of food such as yogurt, chocolates, lemonades etc…

And trust me, you will feel coooool after you eat your ICE-JUICE !!!

***This is how your ICE-JUICE will look like~ Enjoy it!***

Free Breakfast Experience

I’ve been waiting for this post for more than one week, but now the time has come! I will write about my one-week experience eating Free Breakfast sponsored by The Calgary Stampede Caravan!!
First, I didn’t know that during Calgary Stampede everyone who desires to eat a typical Calgary breakfast could get it for free! After my cousin, who has been living in Calgary for more than 20 years, told me that every year during The Calgary Stampede there is a Caravan that distributes free breakfast all around Calgary. Those breakfasts are given in specific places such as famous malls or shopping centers. She advised me about it and without any doubt I decided to follow the Caravan for one week. In fact, the Caravan started from Sunday 8 to Sunday15 (today).

My adventure began on Sunday 8 when I went to the GROUND (Stampede Park). Not only I got free breakfast, but also I got free entrance into the park! Therefore, I had such a great free day over there! I’m so cheap maybe haha, but never mind, let me keep you narrating my cheap adventure, I mean my free adventure.

The following day, Monday, which had such a bad weather, I went to NORTH HILL CENTRE located just in front of the Lions Park STN. I had my second free breakfast consisted on two pancakes, a good size of hamburger beef, fresh and yellow fry eggs, butter and honey all over the pancakes, and of course orange juice and coffee (unlimited).

Next day, Tuesday, I went to MARKET MALL, it was a pretty hot day, yet everything went okay.

Next day, Wednesday, I went to DALHOUSIE SHOPPING CENTER. Over there, I had one of my favorite breakfasts since I got twice pancakes. The first one I got it before I went to Dalhousie, actually I got it at the Olympic Plaza Park, and then, I went to get my full breakfast in Dalhousie.

Then, the next day was Thursday, and I went to NORTHLAND VILLAGE MALL which is located few minutes by bus after Dalhousie Stn.

The last day (kind of sad though), it was Friday, and I went to SUNRIDGE MALL and I got my free breakfast once more. Along with that, Sunridge is pretty close to my house and I was one of the first hungry fasting people to get breakfast!

Although on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the weather was extremely hot, it wasn’t enough sweltering weather to stop me going to get my breakfast! I had already set my plans and I couldn’t back out! What’s more I had a blast getting everything for free!

All that FREE -_- breakfast adventure happened before going to school. Not to mention the fact that I also got free newspapers and a small lamp made in China haha.
I really enjoyed getting free pancakes all week, and I will do it again next year! If anybody is willing to hang out with me next year, just give me a call next year during The Stampede!

Northland Village Mall

This is how it works

Almost reaching the food!

A perfect free breakfast!

Guess who...

Yahooo!!!

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!
