I’ve always wanted to learn how to ski. Last year, Uriel took me to my first ever skiing trip. It was during Valentine’s day. It was the last trip I made in DC that was on a happy occasion and good terms with Uriel. Sigh, I miss him a lot =(.

Anyways, I took a lesson and during the lesson in the slope, I fell in a ditch by a tree. The whole ordeal gave me a bad experience, and ever since then, even though I kept trying, I could never master skiing. Well not master per se, I just couldn’t get the hang of it. Even though I did okay skiing, there was still this fear that I would fall in a ditch and it would literally start a panic attack, so whenever I gain speed, I try to stop and fall on my ass.

This year, after a disastrous skiing trip,( a snowboarder snowboarded into me hard while I was in line to go on the ski lift for a second run, and I fell and hit my head hard on the ground. Told you there is something not right with me and skiing =) ), at the urge of my sister and my cousin, I decided to to try my hand (legs) at snowboarding. Lo and behold, I kick ass at snowboarding! My cousin and her boyfriend taught me the basics and I pretty much got the hang of it after 30 mins of going up and down the bunny slopes. I even know how to break! (I really have a hard time breaking while skiing).

I’ve gone snowboarding three times this season already, and I’m becoming really good at it. I’ve gone skiing three times, and I have never gotten better, but with snowboarding, I can go down the slopes without falling on my ass. I should have gone snowboarding from the start!

I wish I can snowboard with Uriel. I want him to see how I rock at snowboarding. Heck, I can even go in the lifts and get off without falling on my ass. Sadly, I can wish all I want, but I know he would never speak to me again. =(

I really don’t like missing Uriel. I’m hoping tomorrow’s and the weekend’s festivities would take me out of this funk. Weekend calls for tons of food and alcohol, and hopefully some karaoke =)
