When I Grow Up I Want To Be Kim Yu-Na

Post created on February 26, 2010 by Reesie under Chika Galore, Weekend Etcetera · 14 Comments »

I’ve been following the Winter Olympics lately. I particularly like speed skating (Apolo Ohno I love you!) and figure skating, of course.

Just last night, Kim Yu-Na of South Korea, won the gold medal effortlessly for the woman figure skating. It was Korea’s first gold for figure skating.

Well, her performance looked effortless but the pressure was really high for her. Her country expected her to win and anything less than gold was a mere disappointment for everybody.  She won gold on the 2009 World Championship and she also won various medals for different competitions before that.

Currently, she’s the biggest celebrity in South Korea. Reportedly, she has an income of  $5 million per year from her various endorsements – from sanitary napkins to cell phones to cars.

Her rise of fame is not a surprise given how talented she is and on top on that, how beautiful she is.

So today, I am formally announcing  that when I grow up I want to skate like her. Wish me luck,okay?

As skating is now my new hobby, I guess I’m getting there – there, where Yu-Na is!!!  Wahahaha.Look!  Did you see my move? Yu-Na, beat that!

Those pads really come in handy, I tell you.

Okay, before I embarrassed myself too much all I really wanted to say is “HAPPY WEEKEND, PEEPZ!!!”

It’s Random Post Again

(1) Robert Pattinson for Spiderman? Are you kidding me? I love him and all but is he really fit for the role? Do you honestly think he could pull if off? Unless he would show me some abs, I might be convinced. Haha. Peter Parker = Robert Pattinson. Naah, I can’t still picture a blood-sucking spiderman.

(2) I am supposed to share with you my last holiday travel galore but I guess it’s too late now. Haha. Hello, it’s almost the end of January.  The only thing I do best is procrastinating. You might already notice that.;-)

(3) It’s snowing here. I hate it. I don’t mind snow as long as it happens during the weekend for I don’t need to drive. You know, I  sometimes  do stunt driving. It’s my part time job. LOL.  The bad news is this snow is here to stay for three more days. Darn! Wish me luck!

(4) I am officially liking Mexican food. I used to hate burritos, enchiladas, etc because of its spiciness.   Now, I eat Mexican food almost everyday at lunch. I love to eat pickled jalapeno with everything. Jalapeno is now my “ginamus” (bagoong) or dried fish.  I used to eat dried fish/ginamus with everything but you can’t find them here.   I notice though that everytime I answer the call of nature, it hurts! Maanghang-anghang pa. TMI (too much information)! Haha.

(5) If you ask me who my presidential bet is, my answer is I don’t know. If I were to vote, I would not vote for anyone. Nalito ako sa statement ko na yun ah. Anyway, for me Noynoy is a No-No. Villar is definitely a No-Way. Gibo is also a Nay!  I won’t elaborate anymore because I might be lambasted by these Presidentiables supporters. Natakot ba…

(6) My JLC and I have been learning to ice skate on our own. It’s fun. This Sunday will be our third time to skate. We are getting better, I think.  From countless falling on our butt, we now manage to fall about 10 times. Haha. Everytime we fall, little kids would ask if we are okay. Cute kids who could run effortlessly with those ice skates. I am so jealous. I am so determined to do better with skating. After learning to ice skate,  figure skating..here I come! Haha. Ambisyosa!

(7) We bought and watched Season 4-6 of 24. We managed to watch Season 4  in two days. Talk jackbauer8about being a bum! We just finished Season 5 this week. Yes, we still have better things to do than being glued on the boob tube watching Jack Bauer saving America from terrorists the entire day.  By the way, the new season of 24 is on. Did you watch it? I guess I have too much Jack Bauer in my system now. Need to stop this craziness.

(8)Been trying to eat healthy. I’ve gained about 5 lbs. From 20+ pair of jeans, I can only fit 4 of my jeans now.   Sad.

(9) I am excited to attend the annual winter ball of JLC’s company this Friday. I got to dress up. Yay! You see, I never attended proms or any formal event in my whole life so I am excited every time I wear something nice.  This time I am just going to recycle one of my dresses.  Getting a new dress for the said event is not practical at all. Also, it’s hard to play dress up during the winter.  You need to make sure you wouldn’t freeze your ass, at the same time,you need to look good. Hehe.

(10) In January alone, a lot of earthquakes occured worldwide -Guatemala, California, Argentina and Haiti, the most devastated one. What’s happening? Is the end near? Katakot, noh? Did you see photos of Haiti? It so depressing and sad. My prayer goes for the people of Haiti.  I hope the country can recover after this catastrophic event. What happen to the Ondoy victims, by the way? Did the government still working on relocating them? What happen to the millions of dollars worth of donations? Bakit kaya wala ng balita tungkol dito? Hmmmmmmm. Hope my speculations are wrong! Don’t speculate, sabi nga ni Manny Pacquiao. O si Manny nga ba ang nagsabi non? Basta may nagsabi na ganon. Haha.

(11) Lastly, I miss my nephew. I heard he can now walk for few steps. Good thing is he and my mom will stay with me in 8 days in April while my sister is on her much-deserved European cruise. I can’t wait to be with them.

Walang Kabulohang Post

Over the weekend…

I lost two posts – Invictus and Avatar. I should’ve backed them up before changing my hosting service. Darn.

I did my laundry and watched Invictus. As expected, the movie was amazing and so was Matt Damon.

JLC, Belle and I had snowball fight yesterday and I slipped and fell on my butt. It was fun though my butt still hurts until now.

My two nieces are in the hospital. Sad. :-(

One year has passed yet my dad is still bedridden. He’s getting worse. I am losing hope.

My family’s health is more important than my poor financial health.

When it rains, it pours.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, folks.

What did you do? Yes you, the one and the only reader of this blog.

This song makes me feel good these days:

Seeyah!
