wohoo! i finally have a pic on the internet that is not uploaded by anyone i know! hehe i took a screenshot, before it gets lost into oblivion…

the picture was taken on our last outing before i go home to the philippines for good. special thanks to momo-chan for planning and reserving and doing everything to make this happen.

i don’t know why i’m smiling there, after the countless times of falling down the practice ski slope, while everyone from the group had completely traversed the course at least once. some even had the courage to try the actual 2 kilometer course, but my knowledge of my ability overcame whatever courage pride can come up with, and i stuck with the easy (?) slope the rest of the day.

it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless (maybe that’s why i was smiling in the pic!). i might have been the worst skiier here, but at least there’s still basketball to look forward to this thursday!

for the actual picture, visit the ski resort’s site here. for the personally-taken pictures, check our multiply site, although i haven’t uploaded them yet.

toffee and jay returned from their business trip to singapore a few days ago. it got me thinking of the countries i had the fortune to visit. unfortunately though, these weren’t business trips (except for the last one), so my parents (and our relatives) had to pay for most of these triplets’ costs (triplets, little (short) trips, like piglets, got it? wahaha i’m so funny).

alas, my poor memory does not allow me to remember most of what happened to these vacation trips! to everyone who’s been wondering why i didn’t pursue medicine, now you know why!

hope i can add to this list sometime soon!

noticing the new hairstyle i have been sporting the last few weeks, a japanese officemate of mine asked me if i knew of a certain horikita maki. i replied no, and from the few nihongo words i could pick up i learned that i am being compared to a celebrity. i forgot about it until i heard momo-chan (another japanese friend) told me that okumura-san (the officemate above) also told her that with my hairstyle, i do look like the somewhat famous star, so i got interested enough to browse the internet for photos and judge for myself.

my search results were nothing i expected! but i can say firmly, we do not look alike at all!!!

and no, this is not kyashi speaking.
