Christmas is around the corner and it is 18 days more to go before it comes. Time is truly passing by so fast. Are you done shopping with Christmas presents? I am still trying to figure out what unique Christmas presents I can give to friends. I am thinking about custom made t-shirts or photo calendars with our photos from our previous parties, trips and get together. Which do you think is better folks? The first one or the latter? I need to decide before the end of the week.

It was a two-day weekend trip we had to visit Christmas markets in some places in Europe. I have to wake up so early last November 24, 2012 to catch the bus in Regensburg. I set the alarm at 3:00 AM to get myself ready for the trip. Since 5 people plus their baggage won’t fit in my car, a friend indeed up of picking me at home. It was a bus trip I had with friends and we indeed had wonderful trips visiting Riquewihr and Strasbourg in France and Basel in Switzerland.
During our first day trip, we went first to Riquewihr and then in Basel. We stayed in a 5-star Hilton hotel in Basel. That trip that only cost 99.00 Euros which was really cheap and all worth to experience.
The Christmas market in Basel is located in Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz. There are around 180 stands and wooden huts in both areas where you can find various products sold by traders and practitioners of art and crafts from all over Switzerland and the Basel region

Hello folks! How it is going? I hope you all had a wonderful start of December. The holiday season is inevitable and it is about to come! I am already starting to hear Christmas songs and hymns over the radio. It just makes me quite sad sometimes because I am thousand miles away from home.
Are you ready for your Christmas presents? I am partially ready for it. One of my niece loves to sing and dance. This is the reason why I search for ace frehley budokan custom at musicians friend. I am just finding it out if I can afford one to buy for her in the future. For sure, she will love it.
I hope you are already starting to wrap your gifts! Happy holidays in advance!

We finally decided to go to El Escorial. Some of my friends did not go with us. We took the train from Parla to Chamartin station in Madrid. From there, we transferred to another train heading to Es Escorial. It was quite late in the afternoon when we went there. Therefore, we did not had the chance to go inside the building. It was closed. There is an entrance fee to go inside.
El Escorial or the Royal Seat of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is a historical residence of the King of Spain. It is one of the Spanish royal sites. Its function as a museum, royal palace, monastery and school. It is around 45 kilometers northwest of Madrid.
In 1984, it was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This is really a great weekend! It is a weekend full of fun and parties. Last night, I was invited to a house warming. I met new friends, tasted sumptuous food and ladies drinks and had fun conversing with friends. We also had fun singing and dancing with the karaoke. What we just need more last night is a q-spot 260-ledto really feel like we were in a discotheque. One friend forgot to bring her disco lights.
Foods at the party.
I also just got home now attending another party this afternoon. It was a birthday party and at the same time a farewell party. Again, that party was really fantastic. I believed everybody had fun with all the foods of all kinds and the exchanging of conversations to each and everyone.
Thanks to all good friends around for always remembering me in their gatherings and celebrations. You rock peeps!
