"Yume wa aru kedo..."

Geez... It was a long time since last time... Heh, it's not easy to keep up things here.. even though I'm not that busy...

Well, between the last time and this time, quite much have happened.
One of the biggest is of course the World Figure Skating Championships in Göteborg (Gothenburg). And of course, we just have to go and watch it!!
So, my youngest brother and I went together with some other people from the figure skating club here at home. My brother and I saw:

  • Women's free skating and victory ceremony
  • Men's short program
  • Men's free program practice
  • Men's free program and victory ceremony
  • Exhibition practice
  • Exhibition
If I'm gonna explain and tell everything, I'll be staying up until morning, so I won't take it now.
The only word is: AMAZING!!!
This was our first time to attend a championship of figure skating. And we're so lucky it was here in Sweden! When our skaters from Sweden was going to skate, the whole arena was going crazy, and it was so loud that you could't hear the program music!!
And one of my biggest suprises was Takahashi Daisuke from Japan. He was just the best in short program! One of the best programs I've seen! So unbelieveable cool!! The music is specially arranged for just him. And in every skating, he gives more than 110% of himself to the audience and the judges! He's the world record holder after all.. (^O^)
Well, after this week he surely became the new favourite skater for me!

One of the best parts were during the Exhibition practice. And Team Surprise and their coach Andrea Dohany was there, Andrea was the one who arranged the Exhibition. And surely the only one who can come up with 5 wings rotation together!! All the skaters haven't skate synchronized skating before, so the first 2-3 times wasn't great, but after a couple of times practice, they all managed to rotate without problems! And over all, they all seemed to really enjoy it, they all were smiling and laughing! On the exhibition itself, when they came to the wings-part, you saw the skaters getting really excited and were smiling like never before! And it went perfect! Andrea's idea is really something!

After a great week with figure skating from all over the world, we had our own little figure skating week back home. One week with just practice during the easter break. I was coaching both on ice and off ice. Not many hours, but better than nothing. And I got very motivated after Worlds.

Today, or I shall say yesterday... I finally got to watch ONE OK ROCK's Live DVD "Yo no Naka Shredder". Seems so great to be able to have lives like these they had in their one man tour!
And again, I felt that they're really trying to express their feelings, encourage fans to go for your dreams, don't give up even if it seems hopeless, etc etc. And with this, I really don't want to give up my own dreams, even if they really just looks like dreams that's hard to fulfill.
I mean, when I still hadn't a dream, I was losing the meaning of living and doing things. But now, when I at last have a dream, big one, I don't wanna give it up. And that's what OOR really are trying to tell to everyone, just don't give up without even trying!

I have so much to tell, but whoever reads this blog may not wanna read this much... Now I see how much I really have written, and the clock is turning 1am... I'm hungry... I'll get something after this.

But what I wanna say is, just DON'T GIVE UP on your DREAM without trying!
No one knows what can happen if you don't try or move on. So whatever people say, whatever you may think can happen, do it before judging.
G'Night for me!
