Wednesday: Firsts
Wednesday, February 12, 2014
I can call this day, a day of my "Firsts". I got to do things I have never done or experienced before, today, ride a train, ice skate and going to the mall with these wonderful people. Despite losing my precious wallet, and asking my mom to lend me money, today was pretty much, one of my best days in my college life so far.
I don't really ride trains because I don't have to, and I don't want to try riding one alone. But today, I got to try riding on LRT 1 from Quirino Station to EDSA Station. The ride was brief, but still notable. Just for the sake of sharing, I didn't know I'll be needing the ticket AGAIN to leave the station and placed mine in the depths of my bag and actually thought of resorting to buying another ticket again just so I could leave and ride a shuttle to Mall of Asia already, but I didn't and just looked for my ticket.
With all the Frozen feels, in spite of all the falls and broken bones I have, it was fun. Ice skating was fun, walking on ice was fun. It took me around two hours before I got the vibe of it, I know I wasn't graceful as I should be, it was nice, gliding-walking was nice. I didn't mind falling a lot while skating, as long as I can get up, I'll keep trying.
And here we are, with all our might, with all our blisters and bruises and some broken bones. I had fun, we had fun. At least now, I can tell my mom I can skate. I will comeback and skate again, I don't mind my broken bones, I'll get used to the blisters, I'll skate.

I used to skates but not on ice and more on the road and it's really fun.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day of firsts that you had! And the skating adventure seems very timely what with our great showing in the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteI actually got more inspired to learn and be better in ice skating more because of Michael Martinez.
DeleteI love watching ice skating. I just could not believe how they gracefully, and effortlessly dance on ice.
ReplyDeleteTRYING to skate with some figure skaters practicing around you makes you adore their hard work and perseverance.
DeleteI like how you did your "Japan-Japan Peace sign" pose, beside a japanese looking guy. LOL Anyway, we've all got our Wednesday Firsts that most of us wouldn't exactly notice them and remember. But i'm glad you did yours and thats how it should be no matter how simple it is. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is always a first time for everything. I hope you enjoyed your ice skating experience.
ReplyDeleteI did. I'm planning to do it regularly from now on, until I can do it gracefully and with ease.
DeleteAt least you have noted or even remembered your first experiences for they are really worth remembering. Aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI have tried skating before, keeping my balance was hard so I kept falling to the ground haha.
ReplyDeleteI also do not want riding trains because there are so many people inside and there are robbers we're all afraid of.
ReplyDeleteI also love wednesdays just because it's a wednesday. And i have not experienced yet any of ur firsts. Hope i'll get the chance too
ReplyDeleteYes it's really hard to skate. I remember skating for the first time in Megamall (back when it was in the old building) and I kept falling hehehe XD
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are complete with this Wednesday thing, and never to feel sorry for whatever negatives that lies ahead.
ReplyDeletei would love to ice skate as well! my family has been planning to do this but never really happened hopefully soon!
ReplyDeletewow!. Me too! would love to ice skate!. Sa Megamall ba yan? I think binuksan na ulit nila yung ice skating rink dun sa megamall eh :))
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried ice skating, because whenever we're in Manila it's only for a short time and for lay over. We'll try one in MOA if gotten a chance
ReplyDeleteI tried ice skating when I was young but it's really not meant for me. I envy people like you.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try ice skating but I think I'll never be good at it or at least average man lang. :D
