Saturday morning
[11:30 am]
Phone rings. I let it ring and go to voicemail.
[12:30 am]
I wake up a little more, pick up the phone, dial voicemail and listen.
Little 11-year old cousin Roland in his cute 11-year old high pitched voice: “Kuya King… Can you come with us to Tahoe tomorrow please. Ok byeeeee.”
Half asleep, I grin at the cuteness.
I feel like this is pretty indicative of how Filipinos work. No prior planning is necessary to have an outing, a party or an event. So I call back and agree to meet them in Tracy at 6:30 am the next day. I didn’t really know what was in store for me, but I knew I needed a vacation.
Sunday
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves:

At first, I was actually kind of scared to go snowboarding. The last time I went snowboarding was about 6 years ago and the snow was hard and icy and I fell A LOT. It was painful and I wasn’t very good. This time, my little cousin Celine and I took some beginners lessons. I was actually pretty good, and it was the most fun I had in a long time. I definitely want to go snowboarding again before the season ends!
