Some people - like me - love travelling and try to leave town and visit different places (I didn't go anywhere this time just because I am planning on going to Peru in January... more details coming later).
Others enjoy waking up late and staying at home.
Many others use the time to go shopping, especially now because the holidays are so close. I heard that some persons (mainly girls) can be at the mall many times during the same week. Do you think that is true, guys? I refuse to believe...
I will share with you later what I did during the Thanksgiving break (you already know, but it is more fun when you write it). I'll tell you about my lazy days at home (always with a good book, of course), all the restaurants I visited (Greek food, Indian food, Thai food, YUMMY!), and my crazy Black Friday.Are you ready to share?
Mr. Carpio
PS: This is the BEST video I have seen in the last weeks. A friend of mine let me know about it: look at the awesome Muppets singing and performing one of the most legendary and classic songs/videos - originally written by Queen -. This is called 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Enjoy it!

I would like to share what I did on my Thanksgiving break. On Saturday I went to Grapevine Mills mall all day long. I was trying to get all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving because then the malls get really crazy. On Sunday I went to some other department stores like Toys “R” Us, Kohls, Best Buy, and so on.
Monday was suppose to be the FIRST day that I was suppose to be able and sleep in late. Instead of sleeping in late I went to have breakfast at a restaurant called Le Peep. After that I went to do some errands and then I headed out to the stores again. This time I went to a shopping center in Arlington and I went to the Parks Mall.
On Tuesday I went to my old school to go visit my students from last year. It was so good to see them and see how much they have grown. Then I stayed there for many hours talking and visiting the teachers. Then I went home to pick up my mom and we went to go do a couple of things and we went to Best Buy again.
On Wednesday I woke up late…wow….I don’t remember what I did on Wednesday. All I do remember is that later that night I went to buy some groceries because I was going to start baking some desserts for the next day. I baked a while that night.
On Thursday I woke up late, showered, and went to my Grandma’s house to have lunch. I tried not to eat a lot as I knew I was going to eat again later. I was there with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. Then later at night we got together at my house and we at AGAIN! We ate, we watched TV then we went to the Allen outlets at midnight to go shopping. Yei!!! I waited in a huge long line to go in to the Coach store. I finally got in and bought what I wanted. I like to shop and I am PATIENT about it. Unlike this other girl, she couldn’t wait…she got in a fight with another girl and she broke her jaw over a purse. Crazy, huh? Yes I know. I got home like at 6 a.m. and I went to sleep.
On Friday, I woke up late and went to the Allen outlets AGAIN! Yes, I know…I know…I love shopping.
On Saturday, I woke up and went to my friend’s house so she could dye my hair. Then I went to Grapevine Mills mall again! Hopefully that was the last time On Sunday, things went back to normal. I woke up, went to church, went to eat breakfast, came to school to drop off my Christmas decorations, then I went to watch the Nutcracker, I went to eat again and that was the end of my day.
I really enjoyed all my shopping and time with my family. Shopping makes me forget about my problems and that is why I love shopping. It makes me relax. So that is what I did for the break!
In my vacations I went to my grandmas house and my uncle Timo (my moms brother)took me to see a movie.It was the 2nd movie of Twiligt and it was called"new moon.I loved the ending but im hoping to read the books too.anyway, after that the next day my dad
to be continued...........

There are so many things I wanted to have done this free week. I decided to stay in town after knowing that I will need to ask for permission at work to be absent for a few days in January. My cousin is getting married, so I will have to be in Lima. Well, let's try to do as many things as we can this week!, I though.
Unfortunately, it was not as productive as I believed. Some days I woke up late and some others I woke up early, but I was always staying in my room either watching TV or playing with the laptop. You know, I read the news on-line, I watch music and funny videos on-line, I look for information about coming concerts on-line and I buy stuff on-line (Ebay and Amazon rock!). It is really easy to spend hours, days, weeks, months (ok, maybe that is too much) in front of the computer...
... and all of that without mentioning Facebook!
I went shopping on the first weekend (Sunday) to a wonderful place I didn't know before: a J C penney Outlet located on... oops, I forgot the name of the city! I will need to ask my friend, who told me initially about it. I was SO happy!!! I purchased several pieces of clothes, including a Metallica's t-shirt (Master of Puppets), an AC/DC t-shirt (Back in Black) some other polos and even a jacket.
I think the most exciting part of having so much free time is that I was able to visit different restaurants with diverse kinds of food. I went to have breakfast to one of my favorite places in Las Colinas (with a French name) on Monday, I had Vietnamese lunch on Tuesday after washing my car (one of those things that I needed to do for a long time), I had Greek lunch on Wednesday with other three friends from work and I had Indian food on Thursday night while almost everyone else in the States were having their Thanksgiving dinner. It was one of the only two places that were open that night (the other one was Steak & Shake).
(For next year I need to remember that I should get food much earlier if I want to eat a hamburger or anything else).
During Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) I went to Wal-Mart with a friend of mine in order to obtain good deals in electronics. People were standing in different lines (A, B, C, D, etc.) depending on what they wanted to buy. However, it was cool because it was inside the store and we didn't have to feel any cold. We were in line K and after many hours (from 1:40 AM to 5 AM) of chatting with people we didn't know... we each obtained a very nice 42" plasma TV.
I have no complaints. It was a good week. I relaxed a lot... OHHHHHH, I also received a proffesional massage. That was really relaxing!

Yo todas mis vacaciones me la pase en mi cuarto jugando FIFA 2010 pero me gusto un partido porque puse BARCELONA VS REAL MADRID y yo era BARCELONA. Asi meti el gol mas interesante del partido. Henry se la llevo desde la otra porteria y en la media cancha se la paso a Messi. Messi les hiso a 3 jugadores una jugada llamada el jarabe tapatillo. Se la paso a Xavi y no fue fuera de lugar entonces tiro y metio un !GOL!.Tambien meti otro gol Henry se la llevo y se la paso a Xavi y el se la paso a Ibrahimobick y el se la llevo y el portero salio y Ibrahimobick la paso para atras a Henry y el se la llevo y apunto cuando se iva a salir la pelota a saque lateral hiso un centro expectacular a la pelota dio una curva a Xavi.Nadamas hiso un toque a la pelota para hacer una jugada llamada sombrerito reboto en el poste y Messi corrio y hiso un cañonaso que el portero nadamas se quedo viendo nadamas a la pelota llegar al fondo de la portria.Hasta se cayo Messi y tambien Cassillas de ese cañonaso que hasta le dio chanfle a la pelota esos dos fueron los unicos goles y tambien los goles iniciales del partido.Entonces BARCELONA le gano a REAL MADRID 2-O
