The Year The World Was Supposed To End

For all the blessings that God has bestowed upon me,

For all the love and care 

my family, co-teachers, and friends have showered me,

For all the encouragement and dance & life lessons 

the Philippine dance community has shared to me,

 And, for the freedom and faith that I have found in me,

I am truly grateful and contented.

Thank you all super much.

2012 has taught me well enough and has made me a better person.

I may have shed a thousand tears,

cut myself to the quick a gazillion times,

or wasted my effort on irrelevant things,

I can head-up high say that GOOD and HAPPY things happened
more than the bad ones.
I have grown and learned so much

from all those things.
Since the end of the world did not happen at 2012,
I am going to make 2013 count and
waste not a single chance of bliss and love.
After all, we only live once.

2013, I am more than excited and ready for you! 

KrumPinoy at Mandirigma

Once again,

KrumPinoy showed with pride and honor

what KRUMP truly is about.

In spite of having technical difficulties

and lack of practice,

we brought the liveness on stage

because

THIS IS HOW WE GET BUCK. :)

Thank you so much, Allstars,

for inviting us in your fund-raising concert and

for always watching over us.

Just like what we said in our shout-out video,

KrumPinoy will never be here if not because of you. All of you.

I wish you all good luck in the upcoming

World HipHop Dance Championship in Las Vegas.

And, I KNOW you will bring home the bacon. :)

God bless po.

Have a safe trip to the US and back home!

Stellar and KrumPinoy at America in 3D

I didn't know we have videos. :)

YAY!

Again and Again

Oh June, why are you being like this to me?

Issue-tissue again. T_T

Can everything just be normal and happy AGAIN?

Please naman.

This week has totally put me

into different doors of emotions.

It was very tricky and confusing.

It rushes me to heaven and hell in a matter of seconds.

It REALLY does.

* Start of SY 11-12 at Creative Play Corner

June 21

Last Tuesday, work starts again.

We were actually earlier than the actual opening of the school

because

1. New teachers need to get ready and

be prepared with the materials and schedule.

2. We need to clean and decorate our classroom.

MY classroom. :3

3. We need to make new instructional materials.

I am so excited even if I'll be handling the Prep Bears instead

of the Panda Bears.

This is it! :)

* Good times with TeamFab

June 24

It just makes my heart VERY glad to see and

spend time with these people.

Happy Graduation to our very own, Monica!

We had dinner at TGIFridays, BGC The Fort to celebrate

Monica's graduation the next day.

Stormy night with the girls + bf & hubby:

* KrumPinoy 4th Anniversary

June 24

Nothing can stop us- not even the typhoon Falcon.

Celebrated the anniversary at Patio Jose, Quezon City.

A lot weren't able to come. though. :(

My gosh, it's been a long time.

I can still remember the time I was not a krumper yet

and I am so inspired by this fam.

And now, I am a part of them already.

Thank you so much, Big Pat and kapatids! :)

Happy Anniversary to us!

* House of Insults

I'm surprised they stopped from bombarding me

with harsh and heart-slashing words.

Are they running out of words to say or

they realized that it is not working anymore?

I have no more tears to shed nor a heart to

feel the pain.

* U

I found my inner-peace when you answered all

the questions that has been bugging

me for a VERY long time.

Things may have been mind-boggling for so many months,

but at least now I know what your thoughts are.

I do not know how to react

towards everything, though.

I just feel more scared and confused now

because I do not know what your real intentions are.

With all those kisses and hugs,

are you telling me you want me back?

Do you need me because you still love me?

Or you're saying you need me because

I fill in spaces in your heart?

I'm guessing that being there for you always makes

you confident enough to come back

whenever you want to and

just set me aside when you don't need me anymore.

But, there's something inside me that tells me

our love for each other never died to begin with

that's why we're still like this to each other.

Which is which?

I just realized that things happen

when you least expect them.

I was so busy this week because of work

and yet, simple pleasure and heartache

could affect me like this.

I promise, starting today,

I will be more focused and determined.

I have goals to achieve

and things to work on.

I can do this. :)

Happy Birthday, Big Pat!

Maligayang kaarawan sa aming ama sa KrumPinoy

na si Big Pat aka Wolf!!! :)

Maraming salamat, Kuya, sa pag-aaruga at pagpasensya

sa bawat isa sa amin.

Sana po ay napasaya namin kayo sa iyong mahalagang araw.

It has been a great year for you and I hope

the One Above will continue to shower His blessings to you.

Thank you for the love and trust you have given me and my kapatids.

No pain and arguments could take away the love

that we have for you and KrumPinoy.

We will ALWAYS be here for you.

KRUMPINOY FOREVER. PAMILYA.

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH, KUYA!

Again, happy happy birthday po! :)

Goodbye Session

Archie's last night in the Philippines.

Got buck.

Got drunk.

We got love yo. ;)

Inspired

The best things in life are free.

Yayuuuuhhh! :)

Dancing has never felt this REALLY good.

Too good to be true. ;)

When one door closes, a lot of windows open...

God is really good.

Let the photos do the talking...

KrumPinoy and Stellar at America in 3D (Philippine Allstars concert)

All these opportunities are not possible if not without You.

Thank You. :">

Also, thank you to Big Pat and Mommy Lems for everything.

God, U, I Dance

It was a last minute "yes" to the organizers,

but it was all worth it. :)

We also made the transitions 30minutes before the show

and I was so happy that we were able to pull it off

that really BUCK.

I really have to say,

ANG SARAP MAG-KRUMP.

It was an inspiring night for most of us because

the community, at least most of them,

was there.

They performed and showered love to the audience.

So nice to see different dance styles all together

in one show.

A big congratulations to PCU-JMA

and to all the performers!

Tulungan paangat!

One love.

As for me,

I was able to kill my round.

I know I did. :)

A big thorn was taken out of my chest after. *sigh*

Life Of A ________.

That's the topic of the Communication Arts students

for their video production class

in DLSU as their midterm project.

They have a segment where they would feature different

lives of people in the country.

Since many are still confused on what krump really is

and they get wrong information from media sources,

Pat Juat and Ria Casco asked me to be the subject for their segment.

They want to explore and get to know more about krump-

which I think is good since a lot of dancers in La Salle

mistaken krump as a violent and nonsensical dance genre.

I really hope after they release the whole segment,

people would get to know more about krump

and appreciate the spiritual and emotional side of the dance.

Anyway, this is just the teaser of their segment.

The interview part is not yet included in the clip.

However, this is the dance part.

I love it! :)

Favourite part? 0:43-0:47!!! :))

Thanks so much, Ria and Pat!

KrumPinoy Celebrates Christmas

I'm so happy to be part of this family.

It's been almost a year since I first trained with KrumPinoy

and now, things are getting better and better. :)

We won't end the year without

celebrating the Christmas season

with Bacardi 151 and Red Horse. ;)

And of course,

bonding time for us...

The KP Christmas party is one of the awesome parties

I have attended.

It has the usual games but with a lot of twists

and what made it more fun is when the whole building (or whole street?)

had a blackout. :))

We played "I have never" in the dark. >:)

Secrets were revealed and stories were shared...

We did our kris kringle under the emergency light.

I like. :D

And lastly,

we exchanged hugs and greetings with LOVE...

Oh Happy Day!

Fresh-Murda Goes To Baguio City

Just as I thought life sucks big time,

here comes a memorable and awesome roadtrip

with the BEST krump fam in the world.

And yes, this is by far the BEST weekend I have had. ♥

I love you, fam. Don't ever change, please?

I wish I could stop the ticking of the clock when we were all there.

It felt like a real family living and working together,

under one roof, sleeping in one room.

The cold weather meshed well with the warmth of Phil's ancestry house.

It was not so cold in the attic and

the extended part of the house is very Twilight-ish. ;)

Oh life, can you get any better? :)

*the house and Phil trying to open the door with his dozen keys

Hello KUYAAAAAAAA MARIIIOOOOO :D:D:D

Day 1: Krump/Dinner/Inuman Session with Baguio Amplified

Since we arrived early in Baguio and we all feel sluggish,

we decided to take a chill pill before strolling around the city.

We went out around 1pm and tried to find something to eat.

We ended up in a Chinese cuisine restaurant along Session Road- Star Cafe.

Off we go to Burnham Park right after we grab a "quick" bite.

We met up with Kaypee and Kith to krump session.

This is how we krumpers roll. We take it to the streets! :))

It was really a buck session and praise God for giving us these special talents-

krumping to express and to touch hearts.

Thank you, Baguio Amplified!

*Some of the best shots I have taken during and after the session

This is the part where I miss everyone- preparing meals. :)

Oh I love the distribution of tasks and surprisingly, we all have done it well.

And yes, my loves, I enjoyed the "5-Levels" game! :">

1. Fresh-Murda Fam Goes To Market

2. Cooking Time!

3. Party! Party! >:)

Day 2: Hello Tourist Spots! :D

I personally want to thank Bernadette for driving us around.

If not for her, we would be spending a lot of money on commuting.

Unfortunately, we were not able to go to different places

since we ran out of time.

BUT.. BUT..

Day 2 was hella amazing and worth it! :D

*Philippine Military Academy

*The Mansion

* Wright Park

* Mine's View Park

* Kennon Road

* Mass at Baguio Cathedral

* SM Baguio

A hiatus from the busy city of Manila...

And this is also a get-away from all the troubles and sadness

left here...

Saying good bye to Baguio was so hard. :(

I would miss it big time!

Hello, reality again.

Fam, just so you know, I really want to thank each and every one

of you for spending this weekend with me.

I am very much elated and thankful that I get to spend it with YOU. :)

When's our next roadtrip? ;)
