saturday spur

a mundane saturday.
usually a work day for us here at faraway land.
toughluck, the power was out.

what better thing to do?
we opt to visit the beach to while our time away.

as we were walking. having some sand on our feet.
my friend, spotted another friend. and i saw that he has something interesting.
a SKIMBOARD! ooooh. it's been my dream to try 'em.
and i think i've thought out loud and he overheard me say,
"oooh. skimboard! let's try it!"

he caught my enthusiasm and handed us his cute pink skimboard.
we had the feel of it for some minutes, taking photos with it. posers i know.
then i asked him to demonstrate. it looked easy. again, it just looked it.
but i so want to try 'em, but had a thumping sense in me. scaredy cat? perhaps.

Quim (our skim instructor) was super patient and accommodating. he even lend us all his three skimboards so we could all give it a try. twas super fun, even if it left me some minor scratches and bruises. and there's a plus, he offered free classes on weekends! yup:) i sure hope that we could do this when i come back from the long vacay.

here are some highlights on this spur-of-the-moment tripping.


Quim, our patient teacher discussing matters
with me, the irritatingly inquisitive student.


i know we should do it, standing, but twas hard.
so he suggested that i try kneeling first. the more basic of the basics.


oopsie. that's me. slipping as i attempted to do skim standing up.
twas fun, but painful.


my remembrance. got scathed. scratches and bruises indeed.
but it's gonna come off.


OUCH! that's my beautiful knee right there.
so sweet right? haha. no biggie actually.
