Season 4: Capricorn SZN- Skiing Reflection

Skiing Reflection

Welcome to this season of Terrace House - Tahoe Edition Capricorn SZN! Thanks all for tuning in since Season 1 and all those that have recently started watching and following. I really enjoy the Netflix Series Terrace House especially "Boys And Girls In The City". This season is pretty dope in that my skiing got better and I'm sharing a HUUUUUGE Cabin with 15+ people. One person I haven't seen or heard from since elementary school and another since high school! Very exciting!

My goal for going to Tahoe: learning how to ski so I could teach in Japan. Although I took ski lessons, I was not able to learn as fast as I thought I could in order to teach this season. Though I was frightened of falling, this recent Tahoe visit increased my confidence because my friends motivated me to go to more challenging routes. Falling sucks, it hurts -- bruising, tenderness, and swelling all happened to me. My left side hip, my inner right knee, and lower back spine. Regardless, I can say that I am a healthy person with no current issues with my body. To not utilize my body to its full potential would be very sad to me. So here I am going crazy. Sometimes, I go on tangents as you can see from my last sentence. :P 

The thought comes thru my head -- if I don't get better now, then when? I thought about when I learned how to ride a bike, did I learn the first couple of tries? Hell no! So why should I stop now? I used to have a hard time stopping, but now I can carve so much better and am more confident skiing backward, which I thought undoable my last 3 times. I am stoked to say I can ski backward on less steep slopes and feel more comfortable going forward down steep slopes. I owe a lot to taking a ski lesson, going with friends that have the positivity and motivation, and meeting fellow experienced skiers that remind me of the little things like going wider left and right so I can go slower when going down a steep mountain.

I am truly excited what the future brings, whether it be just skiing with friends or possibly teaching in Japan next winter. Like the quote goes, "Shoot for the moon, the worse you'll hit is a star" or "Have big goals for yourself, because you never know how far you will go."

Thanks for reading my Terrace House: Skiing Progression Reflection!

Enjoy my Day 1 Vlog: 

SnowGlobe Reflection

SnowGlobe 

How was the event for you?

-The event was CHILL AF or Hella cool? I don't say hot but, it at times was lit by the fireworks and pyrotechnics. 

What was the event like? 

-The weather was so cold that I had to wear three jackets on the third night.  My throat was dry AF! I used Vicks often and did my inhaler due to the fact that I was coughing a whole ton. I was not sick but I believe that the cold air was the cause.

-The event had a MTV lounge, where you could sit relax and order drinks. There I got free stunner shades that blinked green LED lights and had MTV 19 written on the lenses (barely could see through).

Who performed? Who were you excited for? Who did you see?

-DJ's Rappers Singers

- I was pretty stoked to see AC Slater, then when I found out TYGA, Kaskade, and G-Eazy, were added I got even more juiced! Though I was unable to see them, I'm pretty sure that I will be able to see them in the future.

-There were 2 big stages and a tent stage that I visited. I don't recall seeing anymore stages nor did I care to utilize the app as much as I could have besides to use it to figure out who was playing.

- I was able to see Above and Beyond whom I have seen in previous raves and it was nostalgic to see them again as well as, hearing music that I've heard from previous events. When I hear music that reminds me of certain moments it brings me joy. Especially since their music is very positive and uplifting.

Where was SnowGlobe?

-It was located in South Lake Tahoe. 

-I stayed in a vacation house that housed 8 people, which was about 5-10 minute drive from the location. Our friend that skied with us but, did not purchase tickets was kind enough to drive the rave squad to and from the event. They were the real MVP. Three nights, we each individually split about $318 which was supposedly gonna be only like $230 but some folks pulled out last minute due to extenuating circumstances. 

When was SnowGlobe?

-New Years Eve, 12/31 12/30 12/29 However, I rested on the second day to body soreness and coughing a lung. I stayed in to help cook with friends that are not into the music scene.

How much did it cost? How did you hear about the event?

-SnowGlobe was about $269 for all 3 days. From homie/ads

Why did you attend?

-I had no other obligation and wanted to come up with an exciting story for when I get back to work.

-JK my last Tahoe trip a friend hit me up if I was down, I never been before so I decided to take the opportunity. Snowglobe has always been in my bucket list so to be able to say that I've been, feels godly!

Reflections: 

Above and Beyond Set

What you wish you could see more of?

- Kinda wish I got to see TYGA, Kaskade, Rae Sremmurd since they sound pretty lit in videos. Can you spell Rae Sremmurd backwards? Woah! LMAO yeah I just realized it from my friend asking me the same thing during our trip.

What do you think could have changed?

Hmm... Not really much probably should have had a fanny pack cuz i lost my phone and didn't have it for about 2-4 hours until checking the LOST and Found. Thanks to that dude that found it and brought it there. BLESS your SOUL my dude! YOU are Living Greatness!

What could you have done better to enjoy the event?

Not sure, sleep more. Take care of meh body more. Not really sure but I kept coughing and now I'm no longer there, I am not coughing or as asthmatic as I was.

Will you go back?

-Nah, I think it's too cold for me and I'm not able to function or go as hard as I used too. Gettin old hahahah and weak. But er... I heard Coachella tickets came out and the first weekend is sold out! I actually never been yet! Fuck should I go!? Lol I should but.... shit.... lol I don't know. Thanks for the experience friends, Snowglobe and MTV. I'd go back if I was younger and a little more healthier.

Till next time. Thanks for Reading!
