We got some jello molds at the house the other day and I got to snack on this teddy bear shaped one.  I was impressed on how well the shape came out and I can’t complain about the taste.  Someone asked me what type of jello it was and I couldn’t really say. I mean, I call it jello or Gelatina in spanish, but it’s made with milk instead of water. The other molds that I have are a race car and a frog (I think).  I will gets some pictures on those as soon as I make some more jello.

Is there a Dylan’s Candy store where you live?  The closest store to me is in Houston in the Galleria.  Inside Dylan’s Candy store there are all sorts of candy.  You can get a hold of candy this is no longer sold in stores (like “Zebra-Stripes”)  or Dylan’s own candy. I don’t have a very big sweet tooth, so I just browsed and looked. I think alot of people tend to do that at the store because it is just such a colorful and interesting sight to take in.

Coming here to pick up candy for candy required days such as valentines, christmas etc. is probably a-lot of fun. I may have to make a trip to see if there is a lot of action.

This year, I heading south of the Texas border to spend Christmas with my family. It was a good time and we all just relaxed and enjoyed being home.   Got a set of pictures to show you all and will be adding more in the near future.  I just have to hunt down the other photographer ;).

Flying From Silao, Mx to Houston, Tx. Apparently, I wasn’t suppose to take this shot. oops.

A few days before Christmas I went to a “Christmas Boat Parade”.  The idea was cool and they had some real cool lighted boats. At the same time, the parade proceeded rather slowly (they are boat’s people!) and it was hard to wait in the cold weather.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas  and I wish everyone the same for the New Year.  It’s 2010!

 To keep myself in shape, lately i’ve been running.  Running is a just a great way to stay fit and it keeps your hear thealthy, but sometimes you just need some movtivation. My motivation has come from the Nike plus (Nike +)  kit I bought a few days ago. Nike + is a system that nike has developed in which you can keep track of your runs through some wirless accesories and their online portal  Nikeplus.com. 

The way it works: first, you place a small transmitter inside/on your show.  Afterwards, your nike+ bracelet or Iphone or Itouch connects to this transmitter wirelessly.  The bracelet asks you to walk for a few seconds and afterward you are ready to go. After you finish running  you stop the clock on the bracelet and your run is saved.  You can then plug the bracelet into your usb port on your computer and it will automatically connect to Nikeplus.com and upload your run. 

Through Nikeplus.com you can share your runs with your friends and even set goals and commit to challenges.  With proper calibration you can even see calories burned and other intersting details about your run.  The visuals on the the site are  real nice to look at too.  To see my runs just add me, my username is rafaelromero.
