When I was a kid I’ve always dreamed of seeing snow for real. Of course I know how the snow looks like, I’ve seen it oftentimes in the movies 🙂 ! At young age, for me it’s like a big halo-halo (without ingredients inside) or maybe we could compare the ingredients as to the people skiing, bob sledding and snow surfing. I thought it could be exciting! Sorry my imagination is bad and uncreative 😦 ! And for me living in a tropical country snow will not be a part of everyday scenery. That’s very obvious since Philippines is tropical with just two seasons–hot and dry season. If ever, I would really wanted to make that dream possible I should go and work abroad. I thought of working abroad but I was just afraid to leave my family, friends and everything that are important to me, I disregard the plan.
To be honest, my first ever experienced of snow was at the age of 29, yes that old ! Honey and I went to Alps with French friends (couple). A 3 hours drive from Marseille. I don’t know how to ski but I know how to roller blade and to skate board a bit (when I say “a bit” it’s 40% of 100%). On my first day, we rented a ski set I tried skiing but I am afraid to have an injury again (my left knee got injured due to cross ligament) so that was a hindrance and unsuccessful. Second day, I was jealous of the people around me skiing and snowboarding but I am hard headed so I tried snow boarding and I was more confident and got positive results. I guess, if I take lesson I could improve a lot. Here are my some of my pictures 🙂 ! Thanks for my webguru KALA if it weren’t for her I couldn’t show you these pictures 🙂 !
So you see there are old photos of us ! In fact, I took these off from the album and scanned them….ssshhhh my hubby is very meticulous when it comes to albums ! I am glad to have done this first application and practising my first snow sports. I thought for a while that my first snow experience would be a failure…..I am afraid to miss these wonderful getaway. I am a passionate of sports and I don’t see myself stopping to do it or else I would fee sick about it !
You’re so lucky you got to ski !
Can’t wait for the next Meribel trip, sana makasama kami the next time you guys are going 😀
Wow! Bilib ako! You’re doing snowboard! I tried skiing with the normal one & we thought that the mini skis was better & it was. I went skiing the whole day, looking stupid alone in the children’s slopes!
Next ski getaway would be next year of February KALA! We really hope you could make it 🙂 !
Yes MAKIS, but I’m not really good at it but I know the basic ! I really need to train :). Good for you, at least you’ve tried skiing. Oh it’s not because we are practicing in the children’s slopes we look stupid, for me it’s being courageous! Bah hirap kaya mag ski especially for first timer like us !
Daig mo pa nga ako haze. I don’t know how to ski or snowboard. Not even rollerblade. Maybe next time we should go to Banff Alberta in the winter, then I can take skiing lessons. 🙂
hello. good thing you experienced snow! i hope ako rin someday. anyway, i visited your other blog and found this other blog of yours.
hehehe I don’t know how to rollerblade or skate or ski..poor me hehe
The first time I saw real snow is when I went to Korea for a business trip. When we arrived, our Korean distributor exclaimed that we brought the snow with us because it was the first day it snowed. I can’t explain the feeling. There was like a small child super giddy inside me..di ko lang pinahalata. I think one of the best feelings in the world is to have snowflakes in your hair….ahhhhh 🙂
Hey is this going to be your other blog? I link it up 🙂
Naku NICEHEART trying hard lang din ako. But everything is possible it’s just a matter of interest, willingness and perseverance if we want to learn some things that we don’t normally do di ba ! Go and learn ski it’s fun 🙂 !
Welcome to our blog (mine and hubby’s site) POETIC glad to see you here ! Oh I think you could see snow, Japan is the nearest 🙂 !
Thank you for linking me VERNS and welcome ! I know how to rollerblade (as in konti lang) I have the fear of falling down kasi nga injured na ako. I think you could try roller blading, it’s really fun although at first mahirap talaga, you couldn’t avoid getting hurt or falling down but those are part of the training.
You are young when you had your first snow experience ako as in tanders na LOL ! So next time you visit the neighboring countries like China and Japan you could maybe try skiing a little bit but first learn how to rollerblade 🙂 I started from there and it helped me gain my balance !
wow ang sarap naman 🙂
I never tried to ski, but I’d like to experince it… I’m sure it’s fun!
wow! good for you.. gusto ko yan! how i wish! kahit snow, di ko pa nganahahawakan.. hehehe
hoy musta ka na??how’s the renovation going on?? belated happy halloween ..:-)
You should try this winter PINING it’s pure fun ;)! You will enjoy it I am sure.
Hey Drahcir I am sure you will experience this one too ! You have the opportunity to work abroad. Nursing job is in demand, you wish will be granted soon.
We’re okay Hilda we didn’t sleep for 4 days at home co’z toilet was under renovation too ! Everything will almost be done we will just wait for the kitchen furnitures in 3 weeks !
You are an adventurous spirit. Its good that you enjoy this winter sport. Its probably exhilarating. I dream of doing this…I’m afraid, I’d break my bones though!
I really like adventure especially when I was young I wasn’t afraid to try everything. Now, that I am no longer on my 20’s (medyo marupok na buto) I am hesitant to try things. You should try skiing LEAH it’s fun…of course you need to take lessons. Somehow, if you know how to roller blade it helps :D!
