I am an average ice skater. I remember my initial try on the ice skating rink in SM Megamall. I fell countless times. My ass cried the next day. I am thankful that the new ice skating rink that opened in Abu Dhabi is nearby.
This is my entry for this week’s photo hunt. (theme: average)
Marhaba! That's "hello" in Arabic. I am an expatriate based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I started writing about my adventures and misadventures few months before arriving here at winter of 2008. I have 2 cats and a dog who live harmoniously together. I am also surrounded by kindhearted, crazy, funny and indescribable humans!
I was a dormant blogger for almost 3 years because of countless reasonable justifications like watching football, postgraduate studies, sleeping, traveling, caring for the world, and more! :) I am just so happy that I am back! It is never too late to catch up with the people and things we really care about. Feel free to look around.

i’m just a stone’s throw away from a lake which when frozen can be skated on by people, but the first and only time i put skating shoes on it–i only managed to stand still with bated breath. then i called it a day! LOL

Oh you’re pretty early with photo hunt. I’ll have mine later.
But this is a good post on the theme. This would give me a hint on how I’d do the theme.

we share the same first-experience with ice skating–sm megamall din (that was way back in my high school days!).
fyi, wala na sya dun, inalis na. so the biggest (and the only?) i think in manila (pasay city) is now in sm mall of asia.
but unlike you, i didn’t pursue the hobby(sports). ayaw sa akin ng yelo! =)

Happy Saturday, Wits!
I’ve been asking hubby we try to learn ice skating since we live near Dubai Mall pero he said he would want to learn roller blades first.
how long did it take you to learn?

There’s plenty of opportunity where I live but it’s the thought of embarrassment after falling that has kept me from ice skating.

I’ve never been able to stay vertical on any kind of skates, so I guess I’m below average! 🙂 Nice one!

Great take on the theme! I remember learning to iceskate lo these many decades ago. I never got to skate on an indoor rink, though. It was all outside ponds for us in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

There was a time I was better than average. Now I’d be lucky to not break any bones – of course I could use that for next weeks theme. I really enjoyed your very above average take on this difficult theme.
