My Weekend and Snowboarding

Feb 9, Went to Bakersfield after work to pickup my "pasalubongs" from the Philippines and to give my uncle the gifts I'll send to my mom, siblings, Darwin's god-daughter and to DJ's soon to be son.. Oh! Im gonna have a nephew =) I gave him a Baby Gap outfit and I must say it's sooooo cute. We got Yesha a Baby Gap dress too and there's more cute stuff for girls! =P I arrived in Bakersfield at 5ish and decided to get a mocha frap from Starbucks. They actually have a drive thru - hahaha. I stayed there for the night coz it might rain. Me and my uncle had a nice conversation regarding politics... We discussed about oil and its effect to global warming... As we get deeper on the topic, you'd notice that he's a republican.. well, I'm not! haha






Feb 10, we went to Big Bear and it's a two and a half hour drive from LA. We almost got lost because the 210 freeway is closed for construction. Thanks to Garmin (GPS) we reached our destination. We had some trouble finding the alternate route because Garmin is not updated, but through our instincts, we made it. There's two ski resorts in Big Bear and we're actually supposed to go to Snow Summit but since all the tickets were sold out, we end up at Bear Mountain. We had lunch at Carl's Jr at 12ish then rent the board and boots and we reached the lift at 1pm. I only had 3 runs because Im too slow.. hehe Im scared of getting hurt and breaking my leg or something. It was worth it though and I had fun. Got some souvenir magnet at the gift shop then head home at 5ish. We had Shakey's pizza for dinner (hawaiian thin crust, fried chix and mojos - yummy!)








Feb 11, I had lunch at Bloomingdales with Joyce and the food their was ok and soooo expensive. I had tuna sandwich and she treated me out though so it's ok. =) Im never gonna come back there. =P Too over priced.
