Snowboarding and England

So! On Friday, I had another little adventure :) My mum drove me and my brother over to France to go snowboarding for the afternoon! We had planned on staying in Switzerland but couldn't find anywhere with enough snow and pistes so we went over the border and ended up just staying there :D

It was sooo nice! It was a school day so it was basically empty, and the sun was out and the snow was brilliant! Not soft powder snow but it wasn't icy or slushy which is good ^___^

I tried to snowboard switch, I'm goofy so I was just trying to snowboard normally.. but it's HARD!!
 It feels so wrong and it makes me feel like a complete beginner again o_o
 (Not that I'm much better boarding goofy..)
 My brother had a week of lessons a few weeks ago so he knew how to do switch and he was trying to show me how to carve aswell! It's not very hard.. but I can't seem to do it very well ToT
 He also showed me how to do 180s.. just when you're going down the mountain, you start turning and then you jump round.. it's confusing..!!
Especially when he's normal and I'm goofy so it's the other way round for everything.

Well anyway, I tried twice and then decided I wanted to try it when there was softer snow, just to be safe, so we went up the lift one last time and raced down! :) I won, but only coz someone cut infront of Nat and then he forgot to turn left towards the cafe where our parents were waiting :P Nyahaha



I'm glad I went snowboarding again! even if it was only an hour ^^

What else? Oh yes, so on Saturday I went and got on a plane and flew to England! My grandparents met me at the airport and we went to an indian restaurant, YUM! I had a cider.. just because xD
And then on Sunday I went with my grandad to a pub in Birmingham where he played with his jazz band :) It was really cool ^-^ And it was St Patrick's day so everyone was wearing green hats and drinking guinness ^^ I had a ginger beer..

Then went to Jimmy Spices which was cool, I tried loads of different things :) And... what else? I did some Spanish with my grandma :D (That's one of the reasons I came here, to learn Spanish).

Right, lunchtime :)

The phoenix feather

Oh and here is a trailer to a book my friend has written .. :) I can't imagine writing a book.. It's 294 pages long (I think..)  and yeh :) Just sharing it round ^^ It's called The Phoenix Feather.

Exams and cats

Why is it so hard to study.. .__.

The only thing I've done today is some German..!!!! Mleh :(

I really need to work more coz I have less than 2 months till the exams now..

Lalalalaaaa ... Just give me some candy~ (Candy-Paolo Nutini) Got that song stuck in my head.. ^^

 

I'm actually warming to cats... I don't like them as much as dogs, but they have their good sides too I guess.. and they can be adorable sometimes!! (when they're not scratching you.. T-T)

What else? :)

Rainymood

I have started listening to most of my music with rainymood on in the background.. I don't know why but it just makes me feel so relaxed.. and it  helps me study :)

Right now I'm listening to Just friends by Jason Reeves with rainymood.
Ed Sheeran and Lucy Rose are also nice to listen to with it.. I think it would go well with most songs really!

 

Rain <3

And now Every avenue- Between you and I

I love it when you get lost on this side of youtube :) Loads of songs I don't know but go really well with rainymood.

I've been looking for cool German music recently and I like CRO and Tim Bendzko ^__^

Oh and it's my dad's birthday so Happy Birthday dad!!! :) <3

Little things that can bring so much happiness

So, on Saturday evening I had gone to a sermon about Biblical Manhood and Womanhood and it was all good but it was getting later and later and I was with my sister and we had to get a bus back home and we were thinking about how we would get home if we missed the last bus...

But if we had left early we would never have experienced what happened in that particular bus at half 10. So we were waiting at the bus stop, staring at the junction where the bus should come round the corner, when we both go "huh??". We had both seen different things but they made us equally surprised! What I had seen was a guitar, in a bus! And what Meri had seen was a weird red hat with pointy bits and bobbles on it.
As the bus got nearer my grin was just getting wider and wider! We got on it and as soon as we sat down, some Spanish guy was asking us in French if we had requests. They didn't know the song I gave so they played a spanish song instead but it was so cool! I turned around to watch the guy with the guitar (he was really good!!) and I got another surprise! There was a giant monkey! (toy)
And so they were playing these songs and they were singing along (There were 5 of them I think) and the people in the bus had started singing too!
It was so fun :D
They played Is This Love and some other things and it  was cool coz every time the bus stopped, someone would get on and you could see how they reacted.. :DD
Most people would look surprised and then just laugh!! People outside the bus could hear aswell so they would start singing on the pavements ^_^

At one point one guy took his hat off and pretended to ask for money as if they were busking!

The bus driver didn't seem bothered either.. he seemed quite amused really :P

So me and Meri got off at the station and jokingly gave the group a coin xD I told them how cool it  was and they should do it more often haha, and they saked if we wanted to join them coz they were having a party (Antonio's party apparently :P) We declined but it  was still cool of them to ask ^-^



So yeh..  that was long.. !!!
It just made my day.. :) (And that is impressive coz in the morning I'd gone to the ladies breakfast and had cake and muffins...yum!! blueberry muffins! ( * ^ * ) )

Back at home

Hello~
My friend has pointed out to me that I haven't updated my blog in a long time and I guess that's just because I now see the only people who read it so I don't feel as much need to update it but anyway.. :)

I've been back in Switzerland for almost 2 months now and it feels nice to be back, even if I do miss Japan a bit..!!
I've been studying for exams which are in May and I also hope to get a job at some point!



Now that I've said what's going on in my life, time for some randomness!
I have started snowboarding this year, I went on an oakhall ski camp in Italy with family and friends which was amazing!!! I got there only to find out that they didn't have snowboarding lessons which was a shame but it didn't matter too much because my friend David is an awesome snowboarder and so he taught me the basics, yay! :D Even if it was a bit mad going on a red slope the first day..!! And a black slope the 2nd day haha... that was scary x) It was an awesome week, we stayed in a lovely 4 star hotel (I think?)  and I got to know loads of cool people :)))
Including another snowboarder who's a nurse and who just got married, she was awesome! And a guy called Johnny who is the same age as me and who is a juggling champion! And also kendama! (japanese yay!!) so yeh, cool cool~

On the last day Me, Meri, David and Johnny went off piste and we did a jump!! I didn't land.. but Johnny and David did! :)) There were some goPro people filming us and they said they'd send the video to us which is cool, still waiting for it tho..






How am I writing so much? O_o I must be bored..
I'm on RainyMood.com atm.. it's so cool! you can listen to youtube videos with rain in the background!!!!!!!!
What else.. oh yes I listened to Sunshine and City Sights by Greyson Chance for the first time today and it's really good. I should find an 8tracks mix with him in it...




What else? O-h! I dyed my hair RED!!! ^____^ 

Can you see that it's red? Kinda? :) I redyed it since so it's redder now :3

I'll stop there I think... Toodles!
