I am no expert but if you plan to try Ice Skating at SM Skating Rink, well better read, you might probably need to know this. It was an easy Saturday afternoon, when we decided to try and experience skating at SM Skating Rink in SM Megamall. It was my 2nd time to try it, and I guess I got the advantage among us four. By the way I was with the clingers, Ruth, Earth and John.

Earth and Ruth are a bit uneasy about to try it for the first time, but good thing everyone is eager to do it.

We originally plan to use the Gift Certificates that I have that was given from an event I attend long time ago. Unfortunately, I overlooked that it can only be used on weekdays. Too Bad! But we are there already, good thing, SM Skating Rink also accepts Sodexho Gift Certificates! Yey, Tuloy ang ligaya!

As the first ever South East Asian figure skater to enter the 2013 World Junior Championship and giving an impressive performance at the recently held Soichi Winter Olympics, there’s no stopping Michael Christian Martinez in reaping honors for the Philippines as he recently bagged the much coveted gold medal from the Triglav Trophy International Figure Skating Competition in Jesenice, Slovenia.

Inspired by skaters spinning and jumping at the SM Skating Rink in SM Southmall, Martinez took up figure skating when he was eight and began training in 2010 in the United States. Since then, he has been transformed into a world-class athlete and has garnered over 190 medals and trophies from various international and local competitions.
