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!!!”
