New Years Eve Trip- Canmore


Take a look at my yummy piece of pizza and organic coffee!
Wow, I can't believe it, there is only a half an hour left of 2010! As promised I would share the adventures of my New Years Eve trip to Canmore to everyone. Well Here it goes!
My family and our family friends traveled to Canmore just to celebrate New Years Eve with the wonderful winter- looking nature and mountains. Though the temperature was extremely cold, the sunshine and the view really captured our hearts and "warmed" our eyes. Such a treat! Canmore is a really small town just an hour outside of the city I live in. It's like "mini Banff" in my opinion. We traveled through the streets of their small town center hoping to find a good place to have lunch. Unfortunately, due to our poor planning skills we didn't quite find a good place. We managed to stumble upon a Chinese Restaurant that totally ripped us off >.<. But, well we didn't give up, after the super small 'Chinese lunch' we had we continued traveling down the freezing streets and well luckily we found the most cutest and delicious Flatbread restaurant! It is called Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co. They serve the most delicious and filling flatbread pizzas :] Except, I wasn't quite a fan of their Goat Cheese flatbread pizzas. The pizza I had was awesome, it was the "Special" of the day and it was made with mozzarella cheese, pork strips, tomato sauce, potatoes, peppers etc...... soo good! And well the best part of course was the dessert-- they called it the Dessert Flatbread pizza, it was made with melted white chocolate, chocolate brownie cheesecake crumbs, and blackberries served with ice cream that you could scoop on top each slice you had. JUST AMAZING! Oh and well the organic coffee (with a free refill XD) was pretty awesome too! To be honest, the trip to Canmore started out super freezing and "ripped off" but it got better after the amazing pizza lunch and well amazing winter mountain views!

Well, it is 11:58 now, I would like to wish all visitors of my blog a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
God Bless!

A Turbulent Ride 2010


I just cannot believe how fast time keeps going by! In a blink of an eye, 2010 has come to its end. *Hmmm* time for a quick reflection, WOW, 2010 has been like a "roller coaster" ride for me. There had been many ups and downs, tears and joy, and best of all the excitement of achievement. 2010 has been a really important year for me because it is the year I graduate for High School and begin the Post Secondary School life. The "UPS" of this year was that I managed to accomplish my greatest dream and goal--to make it into University and begin my Nursing Studies. Though the decisions and hard work I had to put in to be able to reach this goal was really tiring and I always complained and nagged about "giving up" I am very blessed to be able to stay strong and have the opportunity to reach my ultimate goal! (I praise and THANK the Lord of all his care and support during that time!). The "DOWNS" of 2010 was probably my injuries I endured. Unfortunately, this year, due to my clumsiness and heavy backpack I slipped down the stairs in my house and severely inujured my tailbone. >.< (DANG- I still feel that pain in my tailbone). But, once again, I am just grateful my close friend's Dad helped me with rehab and supported me until I could walk properly again. I thank my school friends too for helping me at school carrying my books and backpack to class! I TRULY DO FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! *Sigh-Ah* Well there is just so much I want to say! Good thing I began this post early, it is now 2:18 in the morning. I will be going out of town from morning til the afternoon for a Brunch just outside of my city--to the small town named Canmore. I will be spending New Year's Eve with my family once again! I will definitely come back to post more about my adventures and reflection! See you soon!

Welcome Christmas Break


Finally! I am free of the exams "stress back- pack" ! Today, I wrote my last final exam of the first semester! Now that my Christmas break has started, I can start focusing on the Christmas holiday fun and cheer! *Hmmmm* thinking about some of the things I need to do to prepare for my Christmas party on the 25th--- I need to set up my Christmas tree still! Yes, it is kind of late, but well the holiday cheer is never complete without a decorated Christmas tree oui? Now that I am on break, I have time to 'review' what I still need to do for this Christmas.......

The Most important one is probably to FINISH MY Christmas Shopping!

Well, better get some rest now and begin my Christmas preparation journey tomorrow!
Happy Holidays!

A Little Christmas Shopping



*HAHA* Recently, due to exams and extreme stress, I haven't really got the chance to begin my christmas shopping. Well, let's say I did try last week for an hour at the mall while waiting for my ride home after my orthodontist appointment.....except I didn't find anything my friends requested at the mall! Though I did find some rather cute Christmas ornaments to add to my tree this year. They are these little snowman ornaments with your names on it. SUPER CUTE! I will be done exams by Wednesday, I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to go to the mall for a few hours and finish up my Christmas shopping!
Christmas is approaching soon, though I have been through quite a tough advent, I am super excited to celebrate Jesus' birthday! Merry Christmas everyone, will be back soon to blog more about my Christmas preparations!

Have a great holiday cheer!!!

Exams Coming Up!



It's that time of year again, right before my favorite holiday where I will have to "hibernate" and study like there's no tomorrow for the exams. To be honest I am quite worried about this year's exams because it is my first year in University..... but well I must have faith in myself! I just can not wait till I can put down the "stress backpack" and fully enjoy the upcoming christmas holidays. Wish me luck!

Cheers!
