One Year & Counting

ITS OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! I cant believe it has been one year since I wrote my first post on this blog. I remember that day as if it was imprinted in my brain so I can never forget. It started with just your average boy thinking of what he wanted to do with his life and in the end decided to create this blog to express himself and his thoughts. To express the great things life can offer and to one way or another bring a smile to a random reader throughout the world. Thank you!! A thousand times, thank you, to all those readers that keep reading and sharing. Love you guys with every molecule in my body!! Looking foward for this coming year, hope you guys are ready cause some changes are coming to the blog!! (Good ones! :) VB Production and I cant express how grateful we are!! Hope you have a marvelous day with fam. and friends!! 

Merry Christmas and happy ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!

Today was a pretty long day!! Woke up early, to see my beautiful dog on my bed. Spoke with a couple of my crew and talked about the upcoming anniversary of the blog. Worked on some applications for university, and wrote a morning post. At noon I got ready to go do some last minute Christmas shopping and had a great time in the stores. Went to the mall's local Starbucks and bought myself a coquito frappuccino! ;)

Walked around and marveled the Christmas decorations and then headed back home. On my way home I took a beautiful sunset picture of the road, once home started wrapping all of the gifts!! God I cant wait for Christmas Eve!!

Hoy fue un día muy largo!! Me despierto temprano para ver a mi  hermosa perra acostada en mi cama  Hable con mi equipo a ver que podíamos hacer para el aniversario del blog. Al mediodía me prepare para hacer unas compras navideñas de ultima hora. En  el mall vi un Starbucks y me compre un Coquito frappuccino! ;)

Camine un poco y vi las decoraciones y me fui para casa! De camino a casa le tome una foto al atardecer y cuando llegue empece a envolver los regalos!! Dios mio no puedo esperar hasta la víspera de navidad! 

El Coquito

Coquitos are a traditional holiday puertorrican drink, that is well known among the island.  Its one of my favorite drinks for the holiday and its really easy to make. You may find the recipe similar to that of the eggnog but this one is more tropical and well in my opinion way better! So in this post as a gift from me and VB Productions, we want to give you our own recipe of this wonderful drink!

The materials youll need are as  mentioned below:

1.) 1 can of  Coconut Cream

2.)1 can of Sweet Condensed Milk

3.) 1 can of Evaporated Milk

4.) Cinnamon Sticks

5.) White Rum (Better of P.R. rum)

6.) Empty Glass Botles

Steps:

1. Open the can of coconut cream, sweet condensed and evaporated mil and pour them in the osterizer. 

2. Grab the cinnamon stick and shave the cinnamon that way you can have a more pure taste of cinnamon for your coquito. If you want to use ground cinnamon then use two tablespoons and put them with the rest of the mix.

3. Mix it all together in the blender and pour how much rum you want your coquito to have and blend it once more.  

4. Once you put the rum and blend it again, pour the now finished coquito onto one of the empty glass bottles and throw a cinnamon stick inside. Close the bottle and shake it. Voila!! Your done making your coquito. Put on the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more ( the colder the better) and enjoy!!

Christmas Wish List

Lets face it, we all still write letters to that imaginary being that wears a big red suit and scream
"ho ho ho" at Christmas eve!! Dont try to hide the fact, yeah im talking to you! All of you write letters of things you want for Christmas so people have an idea of what to buy you right! So yeah that counts as a christmas list!! And who is to judge you?? Me, your parents, your friends, society?? NO!! You sit down and write that letter cause fellow readers, I have one as well!! LOL!! 

All I want for Christmas is:
1. Lord of the Rings Extended Blu-ray edition (cause im a nerd for it and my precious is calling me!! ;))
2. Billabong Surfboard ( Its time for a new one!! Mine is sort of old!!)
3. Red Vans Baseball Jacket ( I love old school and vintage stuff and this will give my soul a bit of vintage nostalgia.)
4. Coffeemaker ( I dont have one and desperately need one to function during my day!)
5. Books ( really dont care what type of books, encyclopedias, novels, their old favorites! Just something new!!)
6. Oakley Frogs ( I love those glasses!!)
7. Vans Shoes ( need new pair mine are about to go bye bye!)

My Ideal Christmas Dinner

It gives me great joy and happiness seeing my parents cook our Christmas dinner. Not only because it tells me its Christmas Eve but because they always go to the extreme when doing the Christmas dinner. 

But I can't help fight the feeling of wanting to cook my own Christmas dinner and make my own menu like they do! 

Maybe in a near future Ill be able to do my ideal Christmas dinner composed of a ham, soup, great desert and Coquito( a Puertorriquan Christmas beverage!)
