Hey Guys!!
Guess what? I just came from Lake Louise yesterday and I forgot to bring my camera with me hehe! what a shame
Anyways, I had loads and loads of fun there! Me and my friends took off of Calgary at about 7:30 from the house and picked up the rest of our friends then we hit the road. As we went along the road, we listened to music and chatted about diff. kinds of things and how will Canada be a great place later on cuz of the many potentials it has. Anyways, as soon as we arrived at Lake Louise we went straight to the mountains where people were skiing and snowboarding. I absolutely had a blast snowboarding. I've tried snowboarding on the path way which has like 4 colors: green, blue, orange, and black I think. I've tried the green and the black which was really extreme and declined :P but I handled it well. Later on, me and my friends went to the back of the mountain which was totally a different thing than the rest of the mountain, simply it was gorgeous!! and dangerous so I had to be careful. I went on like for maybe 4 runs or so, then at the end of the day all the guys met together to go Banff, but wait!!! where the heck are the gurls!! we stood their waiting for them for almost an hour but nobody turned up! so we decided to go the guest services and they helped us find them. One of the girls was too slow hehe so they had to keep along with her until they got down.
After that, we went to Banff and we spent the rest of the day there in the hott springs and we had Mexican food for dinner!! it was a long day but I sure loved it.

Movin' Out
By the end of April, I'll be moving my stuff to my new host family place. Going to Varsity Estate.
I've been staying here in this small little house which is located near the river for 3 months by the end of this month. I have really stayed in the room i'm typing in the meantime for almost most of the time I've been in Calgary. I mean it's your room, so you gotta stay in it doing your homework, sleeping, or even play with my PSP!! I am going to really miss it when I move out to the new homestay. Well, as everybody knows, moving to another place always makes you anxious because you don't know what is going to be next, or what is the state of mind you'll be in cuz you're living in a totally different place, a totally different kind of environment, and most importantly different kind of food ;P. This family, the Acosta's, are a very kind and a very giving family, and they took a very good care of me. Considering that I'm a new student in Calgary, they provided some cozy, intimate atmospheres that helped me to forget feeling homesick. One thing I like the most about the Acosta's is their house location because it is located 6 mins away from the university by the bus, and transportation was very comfy for me.
The new family lives in Varsity Estate, which is considered to be an old neighbourhood in the North West of Calgary. It is near Dalhousie c-train station, which is good cuz I just have to move my butt to the station and go directly to the U of C. The father of this family is an old retired teacher, and the Mum is also retired. Behind the house there's a Golf field which is awesome because I like golf, and I can observe how do they play it. I am also thinking of buying a bicycle to ease my moving. And I heard summer in Calgary is very lovely, so biking would be very cool.
Just wish me luck guys with my new family!!

Green, green, Greeeeeeen
The passing weekend was mostly green! not only were the trees green, not only were some people's eyes green, but almost everybody in Calgary wore green this passing weekend.
The thing behind this was that Ireland was celebrating an occasion they have, (I'm not sure if it is the National Day of Ireland), the Sympatric's day (dunno if the spelling is correct ;p). But what was cool about it is that you could see everybody wearing the same green color, and everybody was enjoying their time celebrating this day by drinking, dancing, partying :P, and singing. Some automobile companies are celebrating the occasion as I heard. I think it is really cool that like a lot of countries are taking a part in the ceremony, and tryna have a good time by living the special atmospheres. But you guys know what? I didn't know that it was Sympatric's day until I asked the people why the heck are you wearing green! hehe, it was kinda embarrassing but I really enjoyed the Irish spirits, and their funny cool accent :P. So yea as the s0ng says: "Green, green, greeeen" not "Dream, dream, dreaaaam" :P
GREEN ON PEOPLE
Cheers

Video Games
Today, I'm going to talk about one of my other hobbies which is VIDEO GAMES.
I think the first video game that I had was the first old fat gray Game Boy!! I remember playing Super Mario all the time, and the worst about the game is that if you lose, you're gonna have to play all over again starting from the first stage.
Then, the I moved to the Super Nintendo! ahh this just brings back memories :D
This game was so sophisticated at that time that any one who had it was so cool and stuff! Well, I remember that my most favorite game was Soccer. This game will be soooo boring if you play it it now. But back at that time, the game just seemed so cool and I really enjoyed playing it even though the player consumed 3000 hundred yrs to pass the ball! ugh
Later on, the PlayStation age began. This game made a really very huge success, and made a tremendous reputation because people all over the world were familiar with it and got one!
PlayStation has three famous money-maker games which are: PlayStation 1 (PS1), PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation Portable (PSP).
Well if you wanna talk about what games to play in PlayStation, you'll need a red carpet to write on the names of the games. But I'm gonna have to say that the most famous games are: Crash the wolf, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Wining Eleven, and FIFA.
I really can't get rid of this hobby though I'm 18 now, and I never will. :D

Nike
Nike as I mentioned in my previous blog, is one of the most famous international shoes and snickers companies. Today, I'm gonna talk about its history and its status these days.
Nike takes its name from the Greek Goddess of Victory. Nike sportsline mainly has three different kinds of products which are Nike Golf, Nike Pro, and Air Jordan.
Nike™ can be found in every single sport. Mainly, soccer and basketball are sponsored by Nike. And many players such as Ronhaldino, Michael Jordan, and Cristiano Ronaldo did many commercials for Nike's products.
The date in which the company was established was probably in the 1960s, and the company is still running in the moment I'm typing.
Many athletes in the world grant Nike as their first choice for their sports equipment and shoes. Nike really deserves it because it's a really innovative company, and it is ahead in the industry than most of the other trademarks.

Footwear Trademarks
hello people.
Today, I wanted to blog about something that I like to.. well collect :P. It's SHOES!! I just love to buy shoes hehehe... I can't help it, it's just something I had inside me since I was a lil kid.
There are many footwear trademarks. My favorite ones currently are Puma, Adidas, Nike, and Timberland.
Well, to start with, Puma company has the slogan of the famous leopard that maybe represents strength and determination. Puma has a fashion line of clothing as well. In the recent years, Puma has witnessed a big boom in its business as they produced new styles. I sure took the bait of their new fashion line!!
Then, we've got the Nike company. The slogan of Nike is the Right mark. Nike is considered to be one of the oldest shoes company, and exact day of its departure was approximately in 1959. Nike has a distinguishing feature of proving the athletic style. The trademark has several styles, especially in their sports shoes. The most successful type was Nike Air. A lot of people admired the Nike Air for it was stylish and comfortable.
Moving along to Adidas, the Adidas's success can be compared to the Nike's. I don't know, but I always felt that they were related in some way. The Adidas footwear and clothings can be seen worn by a lot of people. The famous three lines symbolize Adidas. But one thing that i don't get is the slogan. For God's sake can you stick with one slogan! they have like 3 different kinds of slogans but I like them all :D!
Hope I blablad usefully for ya ;)
See you later.
