I started my year clubbing. Does that mean I'd be clubbing the whole year? Maybe. Or maybe not. I just know that I started my new year with new friends. And, new friendships are always good.

Open Bar. I welcomed the new year with a glass of champagne in hand. Fancy, huh? But, deep inside, I'd trade that glass of fancy champagne for a new year's kiss - all I got were virtual kisses and those just did not do the trick.

For the last two days, I've been out skiing. After hundreds of dollars spent on outfits and charges, I am proud to report that I'll be going home tomorrow unscathed. I did learn to ski but what I really learned was to overcome the fear of falling -
for it is the fear of falling that stops us from enjoying the fall.***
I have never been the outdoorsy type. I'd rather be curled up at home enjoying a good movie or a rerun of my favorite local soap. And, maybe, cooking a good meal for myself or for someone else. But, as mentioned, recently, I have been forced to be outdoorsy. I tried it, for the sake of trying and have learned another thing. My ski trip taught me an invaluable lesson about myself:
I like to be photographed.***
A friend commented on how some white boys, goodlooking at that, rambled forever without making sense while having dinner. I could not have agreed more. All of them had
verbal diarrhea and they were not making sense.
I also realized that I like diarrhea. Haha.***
I'll be meeting someone soon and I'm having jitters. In all the years that I have been eyeballing people, this is the craziest I will be doing so far. I feel like I'm getting married. But, much like my first descent down the slopes, I plan to go about it blindly and pray that the fall does not kill me.
I've been reading a lot of new stuff lately. It's amazing how many new bloggers pop out every day. I like reading newbies - they are less presumptuous. For new bloggers, continue writing. Write what you think. Say what you need. Mean what you say. In the meantime, I will follow what I preach.

As I'm typing this post on my iPhone, I have received at least 10 looks, 3 smiles and zero introductions. I guess they all remember me as the guy who keeps on rolling down the hill every 5 meters. Or maybe, I just look stupid typing incessantly on my phone for the last hour.
