Well, seeing that I got myself into this very expensive hobby this year, I might as well chronicle 2008 with, well, photos.<\/p>\n

\"where's<\/a><\/p>\n

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<\/em> loooooong hours) waiting for the first train. It was less than five degrees celsius. I am never going to do that again. Ever.<\/p>\n

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

January<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Karuizawa<\/a><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

February<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"snowy<\/a><\/p>\n

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

ETA: It was also in February when I finally bought a D40.<\/p>\n

March<\/strong><\/p>\n

March is the birthday month slash hello-Spring-Yay-Winter’s-Gone month!<\/p>\n

April<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

It was May when I started my Project 365 so it was kinda hard to pick some photos.<\/p>\n

June was cheerleaders, cheerleaders, cheerleaders, cheerleaders, and oh — my room turning into a psychedelic checkered box.<\/p>\n

July<\/strong><\/p>\n

July was *blah* allergies, nyor-nyoring suicidal slippers, and frakkin’ hot (literally scorching hot).<\/p>\n

August<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n‘Nuff said.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

September<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
