First step

I will tell you something...last year I didn't want to go skiing as I told my parents that I am too young to do sports. But then, this year I am ready to face the challenge. I have been so encourage when I see my Kuya ski by on the hills, hubs and up in the mountain even taking the Blue hills ski area. Of course with Papa's guidance because it very advance staion for a 6 year old kid . Got so impressed surprised ! He has already his Flocon since last year. I was thinking why not try this year? And so here I am amongst the many Piou-Piou who are taking their first step to skiing. Otherwise, it would be useless not to use my new pair of skis that we bought for a good price.


I took 6 days courses in totality (2 consecutive weekends including Fridays) with ESF and I am happy to start at this age as I can see it would be difficult to start old like my Maman. Okay when I say old, not grey and wrinkled lol let me rephrase it...older than me, clear enough?

I started my ski lessons from 9 to 11:30 in the morning. Had lunch between 12:00 noon to 1:45 in the afternoon and get back to my ski lessons and finished at 4:30 in the afternoon. My first day was horrible as it was too windy, a violent one. Thinking that a gust of wind blow us off outside from the ski station. I was right! Suddenly the wind got me and I almost fell on the ground, it was a nightmare! Fortunately, was able to balance as I was just right beside the wooden bear. And so the monitors decided to stop the lesson and get back inside the room. My fingers were all very numb in both hands!


Though, this has happened this has not discouraged me from skiing! I am really glad to ski this time because it's a great advantage to learn together with some kids of my age. Learning together involves discipline. One thing I learned also is giving a helping hand in case someone fall to the ground. Never let someone down wink ! The next day was better. It was sunny and was nice to learn skiing when the weather condition is on your side.

6 candles and growing

Our first post as of year 2009. Sorry we got so busy these past few days as we are always out of town during the weekends. Thanks to Papa's childhood friend for being so nice to lend us the family's flat in the Alps and so we would like to take advantage to go skiing. Since it's so expensive to rent a hotels rooms we are so lucky to have a free accommodations without spending too much. Last weekend January 17, was my birthday and it was the first time I celebrated it in the mountain and so here I am blowing my 6 candles razz.



On this occasion I am taking this chance to thank my parents who's always there to love and guide me since I came into this world. For giving me the essential things in life . My sister who's there to play and even fight with me but still I love her for what she is. Anyhow, fighting with siblings are just normal and I guess it's how we learn to compromise and settle things diplomatically. To all my relatives in the Philippines and in France who thinks of me during this occasion and to friends too...Thank you !
