Happy New Year!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful new year!! Cuz its now 2007 mates!! ^^;;
Ive had a total blast. For the past three days (just got back today) I went Skiing!!! Me!! Snow! Skiing!
I mean i only saw snow for the first time ever (It fell from the sky! It was so cool!!!!) a week ago before then.
But me, Rei and Makoto went up to Hachikougen and stayed in a Ski.jo.. Err place thing. Twas called Asahi Lodge.
And well.. Let me just say. Blankets and blankets or gorgeous pure white snow. Its so beautiful. I alwasy knew I loved snow. Even before i ever saw it i already liked it. This just proves it like ten times.
But yeah, it was hilarious because.. haha did you know theres such thing as ski clothes?? Didnt realise. Dunno what i was thinking though.. Rock up in a pair of jeans and a sweater.. Sure.. thats what i wore.. Under the ski clothes. But yeah
Host Parents were busy with work and the ill grandmother so it was just us kids. Snowing it up. Haha. Bad pun forgive me.
But I had one on one lessons with Shouhei coach.. Ahhh you know all those cute stories bout that hot ski instructor? Well.. that was certainly true for me.. >.> He was cute, only 20yrs old too.. Though the only time we got physical was when he was trying to haul me up from the snow after a couple spectacular snow in your face falls.. Um. Pity. I shall probably never see him again.
But well. I can now ski. ^^;; Like. I dunno, perhaps Im a natural or something (or maybe knowing how to rollerblade/ice skate helps) but I could totally like balance and stuff. And the thing with downhill skiing... is well try not to stop completely. If your going too fast, which is like really bad (think tumbling all the way down a gigantic mountain cuz ur outta control type bad) slow down.
1st day was like.. so.. How do i put these things on?? It was mostly doing stuff like trying to move forward.. Erm, not trip over ones feet.
2nd day was ooo we go on the funny straight lift thing and then skii straight. Dude.. you like totally need arm muscles for this. And your knees like totally lock into place. >o< Am happy to admit it but going to school everyday (almost) really has upped my fitness level. Okay i was on the path to slothiness past couple of weeks but say compared to how i was in Australia?? err Muri!
But after a couple goes on the straight thing... we went on the scenic coursel.. Rikan Kousu. And thats was cool, I got to see a gigantic snowman that someone made. Didnt get to take a photo but twas cool. Then straight after that Kou-chi took my up monster mountain (what i call it anyway) and well we did skis down that.. Dude.. can i just saw fucking terrifying.
And exhilarating. Completely. Its like.. whoa.. Flying. On your legs. haha.
Im seriously amazed i could do it to be honest. You stand at the top looking down thinking shit this is steep then you stand at the bottom looking up and you think shit thats really big...
But I managed to skii all the way down the mountain. The same route that Rei and Makoto were skiing and practicing on.
The best thing perhaps was when me and Rei when after lessons and we skiied down by ourselves.
Im most proud of the run where i didnt stop almost at all. Straight all the way down. That was so cool.
Day 3, last day, we only had a morning lesson. Um not as good as the day before, mainly because there was no snow.. It was sorta raining and like.. Grass was popping up and stuff. Dudes grass is a hazard man. I full on tripped out over like two patches or dodgy grass. Gay as. #_# But it was more skiing even if all my joints and muscles and whatnot was aching.
I learnt how to turn sharper and stuff though so that was really cool. And well the final run of the whole thing i did entirely by myself. Huge ass mountain and all. If i could pick, moderately sloped, wide wide wide clear space is best.
Lots of room to manuever and well correct yourself if it looks like ur heading towards the trees (which has happend on occasion)
But yeah. I CAN SKII!! I cant believe i never went in Oz. Thats so stupid. Thats it though. If possible Im gonna organise a group outing or something. To have never seen snow. Thats just completely... shocking. Stupid. Crap.
Anyway... Now im back.. and er still pondering the packing and the speech writing and the like.
Im suppose to have organised an iceskating thing... errr. Love Ice skating too btw.
Haha that i can do, and am fairly confident in. Cant do tricks and the like but I totally grew up rollerskating/blading.. Whoo-hoo go Holiday Programs! Ice skating isnt so different to rollerblading really.
Oh and i had great news from my host father (who is a doctor btw) well i think its good news. I now actually have a medical reason for no being a morning person! Isnt that cool? I always just chalk it down to me being a lazy arse because on rare occasion i have been rather chipry/cheery/annoyingly so in the morning but it isnt exactly my usual temperament.
I have low blood pressure. Whatever that means and entails. I sorta wikied it but the other stuff that comes with it dizziness and the like. Yeahh... No. Not really. But hey, Im not a morning person and at least now i know why ^^;;
Its New Years sales from here on out though so i dunnoo.. perhaps i shall stock up on winter clothing?
~Hope everyones well, be in good health, take care!!!
