Ice Skating in Docklands

Docklands is a nice place to shop, get coffee, and now - iceskate! I always turn to iceskating whenever I feel stressed, lonely, and helpless. Sometimes, just to pass the time. It clears the mind because all I think about are the blades and the ice kissing on the ground, and how I should concentrate otherwise I'd fall.



Really, I find Melbourne such a romantic place... how sad that is :p


Thank you again to Audrey for joining me and Liza. It was Liza's first time to iceskate, she only fell once! Not bad.



Then Audrey was so kind to feed us in this nice place called Meccah Bah that serves Turkish dishes. Yum-oh.


And finally, to Chocolate Shop. We were the last customers, they have lovely cakes and comforting lattes and hot chocolate.

Hyper7 iceskating!

Ice Skating Friday!

This week was a lot of fun, i got to hang out a lot with my friends from the office and also skate after work :) The whole week was a breeze and guess what, my end date at work was moved to an earlier date! weeeee : ) Although im sad that i now have limited time already to be with Kaye, Marlon, Louwie, Jefte, Jojo, and Jayson. but there is still our very own outing that i look forward to. I won't be able to join Drew during lunch anymore also but he is also moving on from Globe and study in Taiwan. Good luck drew!

Azrael was consistent in fetching me because of the dangers of commuting but we always had dinner in Mall of Asia and skate afterwards. Friday was no exemption! we trooped to the food court to eat cheap but plenty chinese food at Tang City.

In the rink, it was lots of fun with snow foam and all. I was about to buy my first and very own skates but when i put them on, they were too tight. they say its normal but i want to be extra sure because they aren't cheap! so if anyone can help me, please tell me how tight should it be before breaking them in. are they really uncomfortable? my toes feel like being pressed together ahahaha :) the lady told me im size 7, tried 7 it was too tight... then 8 - just tight but not comfortable ^^

Time to Celebrate! : )

There are lots of stuff to celebrate about!

First in my list is that I was able to finish the work week quiet smoothly, thanks to my new found organizing skills, i created different tables, lists, sorted my emails and so on. whew ^^; i have about a month left in the office and im trying to be very positive about the remaining days. I'll miss my new-found friends heehee : )

Next is Azrael's graduation day and that's on a Monday and I was able to get an approved absence from work. I didn't attend my own graduation day and i regret it ahahaha :) But Azrael is very excited, he even wore his toga right away after receiving it.

And i went alone ice skating after work, rates are more expensive now. In Mall of Asia, unlimited time is now P350 both weekdays and weekends. Thank God for my coupons!!! Im getting better each time, now i can skate without bending my knees and back too much.

Not-so to celebrate about

I want to go shopping today for something to wear for his graduation. I just read the latest issue of Preview (April) and there are lots of clothes that i want to look for!!!! grrrr >. Looking forward - im excited to go to my very much delayed Boracay trip, Hongkong, or (not yet decided). I miss traveling and getting nervous and icky while on the plane. So before that, i need to earn some pocket moolah : )

Ernie and Bert: Ice Skating Episode

Bert cannot go to sleep, so Ernie tells him to think of something he'd rather be doing : )



And I can't wait to go iceskating tomorrow!!! :) i was not able to go today because my mom wants me to stay at home (she barely sees me nowadays). I want to buy my first pair of iceskates also but i want to think hard first because they cost a bit ^^

I'll also inquire about the lessons, maybe i can have lessons every Sunday or Saturday. I always try to go after work but sometimes no one wants to go with me. Yesterday, someone gave me more coupons, i use the coupons on weekdays so I can skate for only a hundred pesos.

And when im a real good iceskater, i want to be a full-time instructor ahahaha :) seriously, i can spend my time teaching kids how to not fall and how to stand, walk, and so on. that's my dream right now and next is that they can make another huge iceskating rink somewhere. That will be real fun! maybe next year ^^

yesterday i was suppose to go skating in Megamall but i saw how crowded the rink was getting so i passed and we just ate at Tong Yang :) Thank you to Michelle for the very yummy treat!
