Have you ever tried descending down two steps per stride? You can go up two, even three steps as fast as you can and it wouldn't be a problem. But try going just as fast in descent and it becomes tricky. But it's just that - a trick of the brain; it's not used to processing that information. One would always think of the possible (probably hurtful) consequences. In effect, one's worry of tumbling merrily down weighs down any attempt at it. Why would anyone want to go jumping their way down two steps per stride anyway?
But why should the descent be more difficult than the ascent? I'm pretty sure that if one i re-programs one's brain to accept the fact that one's deceleration should be just as easy as the acceleration, one would be trying it out more often until the brain gets the hang of it, consequences be damned.
I want to go down those steps just as fast as I climb them, damn it.

I've done something yesterday i haven't done in a loong while. I was an extra in one of those fantaserye thingys. They told me they're going to show the episode tomorrow, November 29. Too bad I won't be able to see what they left off the cutting room.
We're going to Baguio! Maybe it's a good thing I won't be able to see my performance, heh.
