I WENT SKY DIVING TODAY!! AND I SURVIVED IT!!!! IT IS SO THRILLING!!!

Sky diving is damn exciting! omg!! i actually can't believe i did that until i stepped on land again!! there were 5 of us who went to do it. somewhere in albany.. the jump off the plane is 13,900 feets high up in the sky.. 1 minute of freefall and 2 minute of floating around with the parachute. it is so amazing! when i first jump down the plane i couldn't breathe because the pressure and wind were so strong. for a moment i panickedbecause I had some difficulty in regulating my breath intervals. But after i figure out how to breathe properly then it was ALL FUN!! the free fall is like every 4 seconds u fall 5000 feets. so fast!! that was when u see those people in discovery channel having their faces flapping in the wind! i had that experience too! hahaha it looks very ugly in the video and i couldn't stop drolling!! After pulling the ripcord that releases the parachute, everything was so peaceful and beautiful.. the feeling is as though i can see the world. it felt really sooo good!! i think this is something that we must try once in our life time.. it really feels like flying. I finally understand why the Americans here tell us that doing Skydiving is truely what freedom feels like.. becuz nothing was on my mind and i just felt so floaty and airy.. nothing was tying me down mentally and physically. it was amazing! I still can't believe I did Skydiving!! it's actually not that scary as it seems.










weeeee!! One more item marked down in my Bucket List!

while walking to the airplane.. we were saying.. it feels like the Armageddon scene when they walk up to their air craft. haha!

In my mind, I was still thinking will I step on the ground again. haha!three of us! ready to dive!thats me going up the air planethats me on the left! seriously, I didn't feel nervous. haha!me going down!!! and the ugly effect of wind and pressure! my face felt like it was blown apart! haha!



at 6000 feet above the land, I have to pull the ripcord. that is why he is showing me the meter to make me pull it. here it goes! pulling the ripcord with no fear! all trained by hundred times of flying Sky Coaster.
pulling the cord will cause my parachute to be released. the moment I felt that sensation I was so relief and glad.. cuz it means i will survive! hahaha! floating in the air with the parachute is really what freedom feels like. it was just so amazing!
thats my parachute! landing soon! im so happy! I was the first to jump and last to land.. thanks to my instructor, I stayed up the longest!

and there I land! it's not as difficult as I thought!I'm glad I did it!! we all felt so overwhelmed when we return to land.. felt so emotional i dunno why. felt so touched. felt so happy. felt so airy and floaty. it was just amazing! I love it! I wanna do it again! second jump will be cheaper! and it takes 6 jumps to do it alone! wow! happy!

my instructor, Ron! for that 20 minutes, my life was in his hands! haha! and for that 20 minutes, he was the most important person in my life. haha!

my skydiving certificate! with that I can do my second jump at a cheaper price!

the parachute and bag
