Yay… last day of school!!! And my emotions just turned from super happy to super not…. Was a busy day…. Had minimal sleep, no breakfast, hand in a final assignment for ‘life drawing’, had a final presentation for advertising and I slipped a free luncheon in with the dean of international offices. Oh and not to mention my friend that was travelling with me (keyword: WAS) is not anymore… it’s fine, I understand that she doesn’t want to miss Christmas at home for the second time in a row…. But situations like these forced me into livin [View Full Entry]

051121 THE Salsa night... ooh and other dances I sit here in an empty class room, after 45 mins sleep in a slight relaxed rush to finish my final project for my 7am ‘Life Drawing’ which conveniently moved to 8:30, i mean I could’ve made breakfast.... forget the sleep! Lol Anyways, last night was the most magical night of my life.... lol no, not really... but it sure was fun, after a semester of salsa (which mind you, secretly, I think it’s the most I’ve acquired in the sense of knowledge here ...) life lesson on the other hand... come everyday [View Full Entry]

ZA-CA-TE-CAS (say it….out loud!) I must admit, it’s probably the ‘funnest’ Mexican Town word to say, I know… ☺ and it was just lovely. We rented a car!!! Travelling with an New Mexican, Canadian, Australian and myself… and since Michael (Ozzie) and I drive on the other side of the road… we just so happen to drive the bulk of the way. YUP… I drove! The first time in like, months, and on the wrong side of the road too! OOH and… with a manual! On crazy Mexican roads! … *calming down* So that was us (Diego, Angie, Micha [View Full Entry]

OK… day of the dead… the day we pay respect to the people that have died, and laugh the in the face of death… it’s a celebration… not of the person dying, but of their life and to show that we too are not afraid of death (which figuratively looks like a skeleton lady with a floral filled straw hat) ☺ We decided to go an hour out of town, with a population one tenth the size of Monterrey, but with celebrations like this, 10 times better… and it was… It wouldn’t be the biggest fiesta of the year, (mind you [View Full Entry]

Hey hey HEY hey… I’m not doing two bloggeroonies this week because I have lots and lots to say, but because I have lots and lots of fotos for your viewing pleasure ☺ I actually didn’t think we would get back in time from Cola de Caballo in time for what laid ahead that night, but who’s complaining, except I admit I could've been a better host. I was just SO tired though from all our day-time dramas and I just needed to recharge for the night time ones to come. SO…. SORRY to anyone that had to put up with [View Full Entry]

If they were going bungy jumping… I was IN, but they weren’t… so I was left to tidy up after the night before…. Until plans change, they sat waiting in the van for a good 15 mins, and came back in, and next thing you know it, Carolina and I were in the van off to Cola de Caballo with the lads. Oh yeah, the number of ‘lads’ I lived with increased for the weekend, about four of macs’ (flatmate) and chriss’ came from the US, but they were lovely boys, took short showers, slept on the couch and the airbed, [View Full Entry]

hola hola hola! How are we all??? Good? Great?! I must say, better than having no gas to cook OR have a warm shower with ☺ hehe, bill was 'lost', so I guess we’ll sort it out this week… sometime ;) Went to Texas earlier in the week, to buy some stuff… backpack…. For well backpacking (I’m wondering exactly how I’m fit 3 months worth of stuff in there. Ipod… nano was the same price as the 20GB photo colour… so, I’m always up for a good bargain and got it for US$250. Hmmm and kickboxing gloves, for my classes, which [View Full Entry]

Hmmm me thinks my sleep patterns are all screwed up, it’s like 5 in the morning and we just got home culturally spent weekend in guanajuato. Which I’m glad we I got to see more thoroughly after the first 10 hours of being there for independence weekend. Did the majority of the typical tourist things, allocated more dinero for this trip, as I knew I wasn’t coming back for a while yet. The most exciting thing? - seeing Black Grace on the timetable, a contemporary dance company from NEW ZEALAND - so I ventured out to see how much the tickets [View Full Entry]

Stayed home again... not that it’s a bad thing :) on the Friday, had the healthiest most amazing meal of me Mexican life. I didn’t spend any money on eating out this week so I decided to treat myself :) That night (a little bit of fault on my behalf) i dragged my friends around to a few fiestas of my other friends... about 5 of them. Little did we know... but the time we got to them (for un-foreseen circumstances) they had ended, so venturing out and around we eventually got to an after party, and home before you knew [View Full Entry]
