Blogmas Snap #7 | A View Between The Trees

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.


This morning, my family was busy doing things and I didn't have a ride to church. As a result, I had to walk. My church isn't that far away from home, and I love walking, so I didn't mind the light exercise. It's good for you right? Anywho, on my way to the church, I spotted this lovely view of some houses atop a hill in between the trees. As you can see, it still looks like spring/summer here. I really like all of the natural colors in this picture, especially with the mountains peeking out in the distance against the light blue sky. It's so beautiful, but like I've said before, it's nice to have a change of weather every now and then. Ya know, just to experience something different and have a little variety. Pretty sure I've said this before too, but when I get older and have some money to spend, I'd love to visit places like the UK that have actual seasons. For now, I'm happy in sunny SoCal.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Blogmas Snap #6 | A Hello Kitty Kind of Holiday

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.


For every, month/season, my sister likes to decorate her Hello Kitty whiteboard. Here's this year's December/Christmas edition! Ain't it adorable? Holly, a Christmas tree, presents... the festive feels are so real right now.

Do you have anything that you do on a monthly basis that gets you excited for things?

Blogmas Snap #5 | Donuts!

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.


For the second time this week, my mom had some yummy treats waiting for me and my siblings. This time it was donuts! I haven't eaten a donut in quite a while now, so they were especially delicious. This picture was taken after I basically inhaled a Maple Bar (it WAS next to the chocolate one, but it is now navigating its way throughout my body) and the other half of the donut in the upper left corner. Then, after dinner, I ate one of the powdered, chocolate-icing filled ones. All the sugar.

Hope you all had a great week. I, for one, am ready for the weekend. Anything interesting planned? Lemme know in the comments!

Blogmas Snap #4 | Rainwater Reflection

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.


After a couple days of rain, or rather just a change of weather, the sun has returned. My dad likes to set up containers like these to catch the water when it rains. This is but one of them. He typically sets up multiple empty trash cans and gallon bottles. All of them usually get filled to the brim! 
When the rain goes away to come back another day, he uses the contents of the containers to water the plants.


Me and my sister ventured outside to check out the containers and decided to take a quick little snap of our reflection in this bucket. A natural mirror selfie if you will, haha. I like the palm tree leaves that wrap around the top. And look at the blue, clear sky! So pretty. Though I do wish for more seasonal weather, I appreciate the fact that we don't live with blizzards and frozen everything. I want some colder weather, just not that cold.

How's the weather where you live?

Blogmas Snap #3 | Chocolate Marshmallow Santa

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.


When I got home from school today, my mom had some festive treats waiting for me and my siblings. She buys these for us every now and then for special occasions. Thanks mom! During holidays, Russell Stover has themed chocolate-covered marshmallows. For Christmas, they have cute little Santa ones! They are delicious and make me a happy boy. We usually get these from our local CVS.

Are there any festive treats that you eat this time of year?

Blogmas Snap #2 | A Rainy Day

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.


Today was a rainy day in SoCal. As someone who is tired of the ever-present sun and warm weather here, I was overjoyed at the change of temperature. It's finally starting to feel like California winter haha. Here's a little snap of a lovely view and the gloomy, overcast sky with a dampened empty street. I'm so ready for some sweater weather.


Oh, look! Two snaps in one day! And this one is of my face. Lucky you! ;) I was actually able to wear a jacket without the need to take it off halfway through the day. Usually, the weather shifts from something like 50 to 80ish by lunchtime. As it rained today, I got to wear my hood. So, naturally, on this rare Southerm California occasion, I took a selfie with it.

Hope you all had a great day!

Blogmas Snap #1 | Mr. Buble

Hi World!

Happy December! So you know how a lot of vloggers do Vlogmas (where you vlog every day til Christmas) in December? Yeah? Cool. Well I've decided that this year I'd do this thing that I'm going to call Blogmas Snaps. Basically I'm combining Blogmas (blogging every day til Christmas) and The 30 Day Snap that Louise, aka Sprinkle of Glitter, did last year in June. I know I don't blog all that often, so I thought this could be a fun way to blog more and get into the festive spirit! Basically, from today until the 25th, I will be sharing a little picture that I've taken with my iPhone 4 every day and telling you a little bit about it. These should be nice little snippets of my life to look back on later.


Today's snap is of Michael Buble's Christmas album. I'm sure you've heard about this album before. I've seen it on the iTunes charts for years during the holiday season and finally bought it last year. It's definitely become one of my favorite Christmas albums... I love his voice. A couple songs that I adore from the album are "Cold December Night" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)."

Do you own this album too? If you do, what songs do you love on it?

Alrighty, that's it for today. I think it'd be so cool if you did this with me! If you don't have a blog, then post your snaps on Instagram or Twitter. Tag me and use #BlogmasSnaps so I can see them! See ya tomorrow! :)
