Well, seeing that I got myself into this very expensive hobby this year, I might as well chronicle 2008 with, well, photos.

where's my deluminator?

I was very very excited to finally start 2008 (if you must know, my 2007 was pure hell) that I got myself dragged to far far away Sea Paradise to watch the *meh* fireworks and get my ass frozen. We got stuck at Higashi-Kanagawa (for n loooooong hours) waiting for the first train. It was less than five degrees celsius. I am never going to do that again. Ever.

So anyhoo, let’s go take a look at what happened to my year ^_^ (warning, very long post ahead).

January

Karuizawa Snobo Session

It was also January when I first got dragged (there’s a trend here somewhere, I’m just not seeing it at the moment) to a ski/snowboard resort to, well, try my hand (and my butt) at snowboarding. It was awesome! And painful! But still awesome!

February

snowy path

February can be summed up with just one word — hearts snow! From snowboarding to bitching about it (coz it’s really hell to walk on snow slush) to just praying for Spring to come sooner — it’s all SNOW!

ETA: It was also in February when I finally bought a D40.

March

March is the birthday month slash hello-Spring-Yay-Winter’s-Gone month!

April

April is full of flowers (coz it’s Spring, ya see) and several bodies of water (from the Nikko Trip).

It was May when I started my Project 365 so it was kinda hard to pick some photos.

July

July was *blah* allergies, nyor-nyoring suicidal slippers, and frakkin’ hot (literally scorching hot).

Day 062 : Argh, My Nose!

Day 061 : Falling is only good if you don’t meet the floor.

Day 067 : Aircon, Aircooooooon!

August

Day 089 : Yes, I Do Have a Heart
‘Nuff said.

If July was hot, August was way off the charts. I swear I thought I was gonna be fried under the unforgiving sun. But eh — the sun didn’t stop us from wandering into Chiba (Tokyo Disneyland), Tokyo Bay (for the Boat Cruise), Yokohama (I ain’t gonna do this again — ever). Waittaminute, that would have stopped me (I would rather hibernate than go out into the heat), but my blockmate Elai took the bus from way south (Totori-ken) so off we went!

Day 097 : Poohbear

September

Was getting real tired of Project 365 so I tried to spice the photos up a little bit so I tried textures and experimented with bokeh. It was also around this time that we started playing Futsal and I also tried playing Tennis.
