明けましておめでとうございます HAPPY NEW YEAR!

今年もよろしくお願いします！

今年の（いや厳密には去年の）冬の最大イベントは、人生初スキーでした☆大学から上京するまでずーっと、日本でもアメリカでも南に住んでたのでウィンタースポーツと縁がなくて。大学の友達に「スキー行ったことない」って言う度に「えー、うそぉ！？なんでぇー！？」と言われまくり、↑こう弁解しつつも内心「うるせーよ」と思ってたけど。。もうそんなことしなくていいもんね♪♪

楽しかったです☆　が、もういいわ、って感じです 笑　言い過ぎか。とりあえず、今季はもういいや。すっごく楽しくはあったんだけど、妹と議論した結果、やっぱり九州乙女・夏生まれ・夏好きには「寒い」。「滑るのが楽しい」よりも「寒い寒い寒い！」もっと滑れたらそうでもないのかなぁとも思ったけど、やっぱりリフト乗ってる間（あと待ってる間も！）は動けずかなり寒いわけで。とか言ってる割には、横を颯爽と滑るスノボを憧れのまなざしで追ったのでした。よし、じゃ来年はスノボでっ　笑

I hope we'll keep in touch this year, too!!

The best part of this winter break was skiing... first time ever in my life!!! Untill I moved to Tokyo for university, I had always lived in the southern cities, both in Japan and in the US, and had no chance of encountering winter sports. Whenever I tell my friends at school (in university) that I had never gone skiing, they all go, "What, really?? Why not??" and I'd always told my excuse, explaining my former residents in the south, but seeing the words, "shut up," appearing in my head. BUT not anymore!!!

It was EXCITING!!! Only, I won't crave for the secound chance... ok, I mean, I won't crave for the secound chance this winter ;P It really was fun, but for my sister and I, who were brought up in the south, born in summer and who love summer... we concluded, "skiing is COLD, period." I thought over it might have been more fun if I were better at it, but still, getting on that ski lift (and waiting in the line, too!) almost made me a smowman!! But I still remember how cool the snowboarders looked when they passed by me sliding elegantly :D ...ok, I'll snowboard next winter lol
