Thank you Andrew, Ian, and Geoff for being on my team for Reindeer Games. Ian is such a homie not only for wearing an ugly holiday sweater but for letting me put deer makeup on him 👍 We had a rough first half but came back super strong in the second half. I can’t believe I was able to pull off a hit & stick to score FOUR for the comeback 💃🏻 We surpassed our original goal of finishing at least 8th by the 9th end/game so we don’t end up in the Losers Lounge 👏 I really hope we can have the same team for next year & that we’ll have better costumes than @youngbucksusa_ merch from my collection 😂 Also, there’s plenty of time to learn choreography 😉 I’m going to leave this for inspo 🥶 https://youtu.be/fMBjzT0cBjY . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #ilovecurling #CurlingPilipinas #letsmakegranitefly #sweep #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 . . 📷 #Repost @curlsandiego Good luck & good #curling to Andrew, Ian, Micha & Geoff at @occurlingclub ‘s #ReindeerGames Good luck #TeamDancer 🦌 #curling #curlsandiego #sandiego #sandiegoats #goatfrieswiththat #wintersports #sports #growthegame #growthesport #happyholidays https://www.instagram.com/p/Clwq4g1SSo8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wore my @teamniklasedin tour uniform to @curlsandiego league & watched the last end at the beginning of the game. I may have jumped up & down when my Icevengers YOINKED the win to get to the final. It was nice to see 🐐 @niklasedin make an appearance - it was cute how he was shown peeking through the curtain & commentators said something like they should hook him up w/ a SportsNet subscription. I’m heartbroken that he’s injured, but glad he was shown smiling throughout the last couple of ends even though he had crutches with him 😭 Please stop living up to your #Bionik nickname - no more injuries & surgeries please 🙏🤞 . . Props to @oggelit @rasmuswrana & @cr1ppa for holding down the fort & getting the job done tonight after skipper went down. Way to push through 👊💪 Good luck in the final & end the GSOC title drought #IBELIEVEEDINWILLWIN Great article on the #GSOC website including some insight to Nik’s lower body injury in the interview Oskar gave: https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/oskar-eriksson-skips-team-edin-into-hearinglife-tour-challenge-mens-final/ . . One of the newbies thought my name was EDIN 😂 I told her I’m wearing the current Olympic Champion’s tour uniform. Super bummed I let the other team get back in to tie. I stole 3 and should’ve been able to run them out of rocks but my last rock was a little heavy and got swept out and they had a biter in the back that counted as the 3rd point. UGH. I did everything right in terms of guarding & scoreboard management for 7 ends, came light on my first during the 8th end so my vice told me more weight & I put a wee bit too much. . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #curling #sports #wintersports #growththegame #growthesport #curlsandiego #HardlineNation #skipscansweep #goatniklasedin #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 https://www.instagram.com/p/CkDNdyEurA_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had lots of fun at OC Curling’s Oktoberfest cash spiel. Thanks Andrew, Mark, and Stephanie for joining me in representing @teamtotzek & @teamkapp.roehrs Stephanie is a newbie and had only ever played on Curl SD’s ice. She was in awe of OC’s ice. I can’t wait to take her to SCCC and Coyotes so she can experience dedicated ice (she might be on my Vagspiel team in February). . . We got so many compliments on our “Olympic” uniforms last night. I wish I could’ve been more into the theme, but there was no way I’d survive curling in a dirndl as a skip. I might consider it for when the last end gets rescheduled (we ran out of time & got chased off the ice by hockey players), but we’ll see. . . I made goodie bags to hand out to folks to promote 610 and the 2023 Curling Cares Calendar. I’m hoping it helps introduce more people to him and gets folks interested in ordering calendars. I’m probably ordering multiples and can certainly organize a group order for SoCal folks so we can save on shipping. LMK if you want a calendar and if you want to join the support/promo efforts.

#TBT to a few weeks ago when I competed in what I hope is the first of many #DonnaPurkeyClassic bonspiels. @CoyotesCurling was the first time I ever experienced dedicated ice and it was nice to be able to continue the tradition by bringing a mostly newbie @curlsandiego team to the competition. I thought I gave a thorough enough briefing and set realistic expectations as skip & most experienced member of the squad, but there were still some surprises like order during the opening ceremonies, the talent show, & posing for pictures. Lots to build on moving forward. Extremely grateful to the Divas who took the time to coach us - it helped immensely and we almost pulled off the comeback in game 4. Loved how they had commemorative patches too. I definitely want to make it an annual thing and collect patches. . . Speaking of the talent show, the only other team signed up for it bailed so it basically turned into @curlsandiego serving as dinner entertainment while the professional musician takes a break at the bar. I’m glad folks enjoyed the informative “book report presentation” that Misty & Stephanie helped with (I made the board in my hotel room) & enough curlers got the humor of the song parody I performed despite the original song being Taylor Swift’s Blank Space. I’m a big #swiftie & the biggest @teamniklasedin fan so I just leaned on that fully. LOL one of the tables made the comment “I sense a theme here” midway through the presentation & there were lots of chuckles as inside jokes and curling memes were uttered during the song (Malört, YouTube chats, lack of ice access in arena clubs, & Glenn Howard never retiring, etc). The line I was singing during the last pic: “‘Cause there’s a curling game to watch & I love Team Edin!” 🥶 . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #ilovecurling #CurlingPilipinas #letsmakegranitefly #curling #sports #wintersports #growthegame #growthesport #sweep #curlsandiego #hurryhard #definitelynotswedish #HardlineNation #skipscansweep #goatniklasedin #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 (at Coyotes Curling Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CplWmGoPZ0U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Way to rock the influencer lifestyle 😉 Hard to believe you’ve accomplished so much at such a young age and I look forward to following you in what I hope will be a very, very LONG career in both men’s and #mixeddoubles I’m glad I finally got to meet you at Worlds last year and witnesses you in action.

FINALLY got to wear my new @teamhasselborg uniform from @runbackcurling to @curlsandiego My women’s team is competing at the Donna Purkey Classic in Arizona next weekend so we did the pickup game against a mixed team w/ 2 male sweepers for practice during the Learn To Curl. I really wanted Elaine to learn how to be the #skip but she didn’t feel comfortable throwing last rocks so she threw third & made one of the guys throw last rocks. I gave them hammer to start & we stole 2, but then they score singles 3 ends in a row before we scored another deuce & then stole 1. . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #ilovecurling #CurlingPilipinas #letsmakegranitefly #curling #sports #wintersports #growththegame #growthesport #sweep #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #definitelynotswedish #HardlineNation #itsalotharderthanitlooks #isweptwithyourwife #skipscansweep #goatniklasedin #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRrLesO4eM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#PimpSanta and one of his reindeer 🎅 Congrats to Austin for winning Best Costume at #ReindeerGames this weekend. I still don’t know how he curled 10 ends in that outfit. I wore a long sleeve top under my #doecostume & was so cold I had to wear my @curlsandiego jacket. I had so much fun at Reindeer Games & look forward to #TeamDancer coming back next year & improving on our performance - both in terms of placement, costumes, and maybe actual dancing 💃🏻 I myself need to learn the Mean Girls dance so I can teach it to the guys 😂 . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #ilovecurling #CurlingPilipinas #letsmakegranitefly #curling #sports #wintersports #growththegame #growthesport #sweep #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #definitelynotswedish #HardlineNation #itsalotharderthanitlooks #isweptwithyourwife #skipscansweep #goatniklasedin #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 . . 📷 @suecassidy1 (at OC Curling Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl29TZtuJtk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Super stoked to have seen someone else wearing the @dynastycurling protective #headgear at #ReindeerGames last night that I had to get a pic to show @c_hodgyyy Ever since I fell & hit my head during league in the summer I’ve been dealing w/ #postconcussionsyndrome so I never curl w/o #headprotection anymore #safetyfirst Highly recommend Dynasty’s protective #toque it’s way more #comfortable #stylish and #warm than the traditional helmet. Perfect for curling.

#FBF to last weekend when my team won league 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Happy that this time it’s official official - Andrew & I firmly believe we technically won last season by default due to attendance (games should’ve been Ws for us due to automatic forfeits by opponents for not having enough players on their team). I really hope this is me turning a new leaf both as a skip & a curler in general. The winning shot was a draw through the port to the 4ft that Owen was unable to beat. I was the only female skip this league so it means a lot to come out on top. Sadly, Curl SD moved away from handing out league trophies a couple of years ago. Maybe one day the hardware will be back & I’ll continue to win 😉 It really helped a lot that Josh was there as a sub - having 2 sweepers makes a big difference in league games, even more so when you have 2 strong men sweeper, which has me hopeful for tomorrow’s Reindeer Games since my 3 teammates are men. We just need to make sure we’re at least 8th overall before the 9th end/game 🙏🤞 Excited for the Donna Purkey event in February - it’ll be my first time at a women’s only bonspiel & I can’t wait to see how we stack up against the other women’s teams. . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #ilovecurling #CurlingPilipinas #letsmakegranitefly #curling #sports #wintersports #growththegame #growthesport #sweep #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #definitelynotswedish #HardlineNation #itsalotharderthanitlooks #isweptwithyourwife #skipscansweep #goatniklasedin #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 . . 📷 #Repost @curlsandiego Congratulations to our Fall League Champions - the team skipped by Micha defeated Owen’s team w/ a score of 5-4.

Because of my #concussion I never play without my trusty pink @dynastycurling #beanie but I did have my @youngbucksusa_ beanie & my special #YoungBucks earrings w/ me last night at @curlsandiego league to support #TeamDropkin who ended up winning the bronze medal at the inaugural Pan Continental Curling Championships.

It’s not a goodbye, but a so long until we meet again. Earlier today I attended what I’ve been referring to as the SCCC’s last hurrah as they are being evicted out of their current location. For several months I got to experience dedicated ice in SoCal and look forward to when we will have it back again. I ultimately hope CurlSD will have our own facility during my lifetime. Been watching a lot of Kdramas lately & this selfie I took before I left reminded me of a scene from Her Private Life where the two main characters get stranded due to weather and end up spending the night at the house of the keeper of a photographer’s last unpublished work. They discuss how the last published photo was called Annyeong which means both hello and goodbye in Korean. While I may have taken this pic as I was leaving, I look forward to when I can take a similar selfie to say hello to the new SCCC, wherever and whenever that may be. . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #ilovecurling #CurlingPilipinas #letsmakegranitefly #curling #sports #wintersports #growththegame #growthesport #sweep #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #definitelynotswedish #itsalotharderthanitlooks #isweptwithyourwife #skipscansweep #goatniklasedin #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 (at Southern California Curling Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjzJBv_rj6s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh no she didn’t! Oh yes she did! Your girl did go and buy a #dirndl but I learned the hard way after the struggles w/ the Germany leggings at Curl SD that I can’t in good conscience curl at OC Curling’s #Oktoberfest #cashspiel wearing the dress. I do not want to be a walking wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen & as skip, I get super cold so I need my usual Hardline pants & Dynasty jersey & jacket. . . Next to my Swedish Icevengers, I love my German adings the most & my curling closet has expanded exponentially since my birthday trip to the 2022 Worlds. I’m probably wearing the black Totzek uniform from the 2021 Worlds & making Andrew wear the Kapp uniform (at least for pics because he’s very adamant about NOT curling in a jacket due to heat), but I need to figure out which uniforms Mark & Stephanie will wear. Also need to figure out if I’m gonna wear one set of earrings or if I’d mix and match 🤔 . . Wish I knew what 610’s promo code was already so I can really promote sales of the 2023 calendar. Definitely planning to at least talk about him during the pregame broomstacking. I hope I can get SoCal/US folks to join me in helping 610 raise money for the Sandra Schmirler Foundation.

Competing at the #TacoSpiel2022 this weekend w/ Rob, Misty, Bob, and Andrew. So far we’re up to our usual antics of struggling to get rid of hammer & getting creamed, but it’s been a good learning experience so far - we actually have to do the #LastShotDraw at the end of each game so I’m likely throwing the draw tonight since Andrew and Misty already did it. Also, because the number of teams they’re actually doing pools & we get to play tomorrow for sure. . . I’m excited for next year - Misty and I plan on taking a couple of newbie curlers from @curlsandiego to a women’s bonspiel in Arizona (Coyotes Curling). I’ve been referring to the Donna Purkey event as VAGSPIEL 😬 Wish we could get adult companies to sponsor us (*cough #EasyToys *cough) . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #PinayCurler #FilipinoCurler #curlingfangirl #fangirlcurling #ilovecurling #CurlingPilipinas #letsmakegranitefly #curling #sports #wintersports #growththegame #growthesport #sweep #curlsandiego #curlingrocks #hurryhard #definitelynotswedish #HardlineNation #itsalotharderthanitlooks #isweptwithyourwife #skipscansweep #goatniklasedin #ChangeTheFaceOfCurling #concussedcurler 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 (at Southern California Curling Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CioUMl-LE4T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#FBF to the 5 & Under #bonspiel we played at earlier this year. Last night I made Rob a crochet hat - he’s playing skip for me for game 1 of this weekend’s Taco Spiel.

In anticipation of the upcoming kickoff to the #curling season for several of the elite teams in Europe in a few days (Baden Masters), I got some #Swiss items to add to my curling closet. I basically only had the #TeamTirinzoni signed jersey from the European Championships and we all know I’m not wearing that because 1) it’s signed and 2) I’d have to be dead several weeks before I’m skinny enough to wear something of Silvana Tirinzoni’s size 😂 Got a #Switzerland jacket and a Swiss bag to support the Swiss teams instead. The bag is the same style as the Sweden and Germany bags I already have. I hope they have other countries so I can keep adding to my curling closet. Good luck and good curling to @schwallercurling & @brunnercurling at Baden Masters this weekend.
