since the skating rink gave up on me last saturday, not without sprains and bruises, i decided to head to 4th and burrard to get some snowboarding gear instead, after all, what's the point of being in a snow covered country if i'm not going to enjoy its winter sports right? =) can't sulk around until the sun comes out again, which in vancouver is probably next to never anyway - that would mean i'm gonna be miserable for three quarters of the year if i don't find any other activity aside from running away to some other sunny city.
wanted to buy board and boots as well but then again what am i gonna do with it if the forces that be suddenly decide to send me home in 19 days? can't really go pavement boarding in makati, can i? =) content with the rest of my purchase, and relatively poorer, proceeded to bute to enjoy tamako's home cooked yakisoba and miso plus a game of global domination. risk is a nice game, i tried my best to defend my territories in australila and parts of asia but the mighty army of north america crushed my forts to pieces. it was a merciless bloodbath, which i shall avenge next time ^^
stayed up till 4am thinking too much about things and writing stuff that made sense only in my head. two hours later, hitched a ride to whistler - site of the 2010 winter olympics. probably not the best place for beginners, but hey it's a great story to tell =) i did all these amazing falls at blackcomb, almost ran over two skiers, almost hit a post, almost hit a tree, almost crashed on the lift, almost broke my neck, probably broke my back, but hey i was still in one piece after 8 hours of uninterrupted climbing up and falling down, didn't really feel any pain, i'm probably immune to it already - which is great.
sky, snow, clouds, board, sky, post, tree, sky, snow, lift, sky.. i'm definitely doing this again next weekend.. hopefully no avalanche warning this time..
at earl's for lunch this afternoon to mark a friend's birthday - quarter of a century, what a milestone. where was i when i reached that mark? my blog says i was at cafe havana with ri and gia, they're now in japan and london respectively, one happily married, the other engaged, time flies when you're having fun =) back then i was marking the whole october as mine as usual, travelling, watching movies, playing games, buying gadgets, hanging out with friends, dealing with family issues, tinkering with tech stuff, dabbling in poetry, juggling broken hearts, waiting for flowers to wilt, probably swimming in mud and contemplating on existentialism or what i've done with my life so far - quarter life crisis, but it doesn't matter anymore. life is getting better every day. and today is just one of those days.
tonight i'm catching up with my older brother. everybody's been asking me when i'm coming home, i wish i knew the answer, but i don't. and i don't really care anymore either. whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see, que sera sera =p
