Hi Everyone! and Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Hi i'm new in this forum. I've been lurking in this forum for over a year now.
But recently got the courage to register after seeing fellow fans from the Philippines.

I don't know much about the technical side of skating (don't know how to skate at all), but got hooked in watching figure skating ever since the 2010 Olympics.
I was working in Japan that time, and since everyone was discussing about the figure skating, I watched just to find out why it is so popular.
Didn't realize that I will be introduced to the wonderful team Japan, with their superb skating and grace on ice,
but also their cuteness backstage and all their off-season guestings and interviews. (so glad I studied japanese )

Fell in love with Daisuke, Oda, Taka, Miki, and especially Mao.
I mean who could resist Mao and her smile. She is so beautiful to watch on ice, but what I really love about her is her attitude and outlook in life.
So whatever path she chooses, I will be happy as long as she is happy, and I will support her no matter what!

Hi haruka25! Welcome!
Like you, I am also from the Philippines. I was also mesmerized by Mao because of her performance in 2010 Winter Olympics. From then on, I became her fan... She really has magic on and off ice.

Merry Christmas haruka25 and femariel
