Tripping

Trip 1: Hakone.                                  All - naked.
Trip 2: Kawaguchi-ko & Fuji-Q.     All - in.
Trip 3: Kashimayari.                          Who can see the fireworks.
Trip 4: Happo One.                          All - separated.

Back from my third snowboarding trip. Bodies aching, but nothing like the first trip. Just minor muscles strain.
Learnt that snowboarding is less fun doing alone. The 5 of us; RY, FW, Pat, Sar and i got separated the entire time. Whatever tricks or improvements achieved, however bad you fell, none to share with at that moment. Important lesson taken.

Sar has this custom of naming his trips. Hence, since the first trip we had we have been naming them. Each name is rather unique and personal; understood by probably just 5 of us. Crazy times, no doubt.

And the fact that they are uploading photos in incredible amounts in facebook, i guess i should leave the job to the professionals.

More trips to come. First winter is finishing in 2 months time. At least 2 to 3 more snowboarding trips to go i hope. And thereafter, more intense traveling to do. (Though i sound like i am on a vacation, i am not. Really. )

And from all this traveling and new experiences, come the next resolution for this year:

EXPLORE & RELATE.

Resolution

Everyone has somehow, someway formed their new year resolution. Not that it is my customs or practice to do so every year, but i suppose it does mean that you are working towards changes. Something new in your life which you wish to see in the coming year.

It was not a great year; 2009. And i definitely did not end it well. The habit of messing things up tailed me all the way here. And hence, i should say that i did not begin this year well either.

I do not wish to mention in detail. So do not ask.

Yet i believe i managed to refrain myself from continuing to inflict damages. I believe i had avoided further serious injuries.
But that only means that i have to be responsible for the wounds i have inflicted, and the scars i have left. And i shall.

I shall have my resolution for 2010 ready by the end of this month. And the first would be:

REFRAIN.
