For the past couple of years, I have been taking sailing classes when I go to California for the month.

I always like sailing on sail-boats. Just standing on a boat, on the sea, without a small hint of stress... it's really relaxing.

Well, actually, no, there's still the stress of tipping over and having your boat turtled (upside down). But you know, frek' it. I just take my I-Pod and forget about it ^_^

Anyway, sailing a boat isn't that hard! You only need to do three things when turning the boat, and when you're steering it (controlling it), you just need to hold a stick (tiller) and make sure it doesn't go on the beach or some rocks!

I remembered when my instructor asked me how can I be good at steering and all when I only come for 2 weeks (a sailing session is 2 weeks, or more precisely, 8 days) each year. I didn't have the hearts to tell him that I was just naturally good at videogames and that it helped doing stuff like that. Last time I said that to my driving teacher, she got scared that I would hit a pedestrian for fun.

Anyway, have you guys ever sailed too?

Until you fall into the water with your IPod ?

I did some sailing in my past, though it was on a cold lake so capsizing was unforgiving. I also did some more when I lived in the Indian Ocean, then capsizing was awesome. Then I got my speedboat permit and went a bajillion times faster. Even though, there's something more tranquil about sailing without the noise of a motor Sleepy

When you're as cool as I am Cool

, your iPod floats in your hand without falling.

But SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I put it in my pockets, which I can close, so that my iPod can't fall down. Since I have my earphones, I can hear quite clearly.
