Ahem! before I even start to blog about my thanksgiving break, let me extend my heartfelt gratitude to Miguel and family for "taking" me back to their house! (Hee.. sounds like I'm a homeless kid). Mig has a cool family and a cool house!
All of us playing Movie Mania (like charades) with Migs parents. See what I mean by cool? How often do u get to play board games with your friends' parents?
Well, my first thanksgiving break was simply fun and relaxing! (minus away the homework part of course...) The 6 of us (Mig's dad, mum, sis, Jeremy, Mig and I) packed into the car on a Thursday morning, and off we went to New York City to watch the Macy's thanksgiving parade.
Yeap. It was my first parade in America, with huge cartoon balloons and a few celebrities of course! (like good charlotte, american idols, high school musical stars...) But my camera died halfway, so I managed to take a few pictures only.

And Thursday was Thanksgiving Day of course, which means turkey time! lol. Migs parents brought us to their relatives' place. It was at a farm, and they had horses and 5 dogs at home. GEEZ. all bulldogs. too bad i didnt take a picture of them. Good food was served. when i say GOOD FOOD, i really mean REAL FOOD. turkey, stuffing, apple pie, pumpkin pie, REAL new york cheese cake, potatoes etc. Amarak food (st joe's food vendor) is nothing compared to that one dinner!
Me and Jeremy. Horsey was eating her dinner!
And Friday was shopping time! OMG. i'm a shopaholic. YES. I've said it and I admit it. I bought so many clothes and a pair of boots in 2 days! I feel so guilty now. but it's alright. (at least this is what I tell myself all the time after I shop) I'll be earning my own money soon.Yea. Next semester :)
Migs and his new haircut and jolly me with my shopping bag.
Well, obviously Miguel didn't take us in for free. We helped him rake the leaves in his front yard on Sat.

Free labour! There u go! We did really crazy stuff. Like this.
Yours sincerely(that's me!) trying very hard to jump onto the stack of leaves GRACEFULLY. Migs was holding onto the stick so I could do a HIGH jump, which turned out to be a LOW jump. well, at least i didnt hurt my back...

And I was totally covered by the leaves. See my shoes? Yea. at least that proves that I did complete the feat!
Me standing in the box, on top of the leaves...
And then Miguel went all crazy with his scooter with a shovel in his hands... "Charge forward, my fellow comrads!"We went to Migs relatives place again for dinner (this time round, it was a family with 2 little kids). Surprisingly, I enjoyed myself tremendously when I played with the 2 boys. I realised that when we're all grown up, playing with children can be "refreshing". No mature conversations going on, and I could act like I'm one of them. I WISH I COULD STAY YOUNG FOREVER! Yea. but i know it's impossible.
No doubt, all things come to a good end! And it was time for us to go back on Sunday... Sigh. Back to school work and more adult-like stuff to do! Wish Thanksgiving break was longer...
THE END.
THE END.
And with Xiao Lu, Jeremy and Miguel bro!!! (That's Nate in the red sweatshirt btw) Where's JO? She's the photographer of course.... :) 
Me looking stressed over my work. GEEZ. I look terrible.
Me and Bridget Gray.
