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! 

Semestral Break Vibes

Sembreak is officially over

and yes,

it is time for me to put on my teaching shoes again.

I HAVE to put those dancing kicks back in the rack. :)

It was hell of a week, I must say!

A week well spent with

 my biological family, La Sallian family, and myself.

-  Change for the better.

I just chopped off my side swept bangs into full bangs.

I believe it suits me well. ;)

- My taste buds missed these.

I spent my first few taste of vacation

 at Coffee Bean and Cafe Noriter 

to work on my The Gazette article and to read a book.

Actually, I just wanted to binge on tea lattes, cake, and pastries. :))

- Wounds heal and so does my heart.

I tripped. AGAIN.

I think this is one of my hobbies nowadays. Tsk.

This time, it was not one of those times 

where my reflexes were doing their work.

I fell, got wounded, and had swollen left knee.

And as for my heart,

the more I put effort in healing it, 

the more it just keeps getting wounded .

- Welcome to my hood. *S sign up in the air*

I was able to dance again with my loves at Asylum.

I also choreographed a dance for the girls. So foxy. Woot!

I love you, Skittlez.

Here's our technical run at the event:

Still On A Hueniverse High

Contemporary dance: A dance genre that 

unconsciously squeezes out people's emotions
through battements, extensions, arm movements, and the like.

(Not that I am saying other genres don't. Haha!)

I should know for 

I have experienced them first hand MANY times.

HUENIVERSE: Dance all-encompassing in technicolor,

the 31st anniversary dance concert of

the La Salle Dance Company- Contemporary.

It was held at the Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium

in De La Salle University- Manila.

This concert helped me cope all the things life has thrown at me.

All the struggles during rehearsals...

All the after-training realizations...

All the warm hugs and pieces of advice...

All the emotions released..

And most importantly,

all the lessons I have shared with the LSDC-C family..

Thank you so much, Sir Peter,

 for giving me an opportunity once again

to share my skills and to be part of this grand

anniversary concert.

Thank you, Sir Danny of Powerdance, 

for pushing me forward when

mediocrity was killing my spirit and passion for dancing.

Thank you, current members and alumni members,

for helping me out and 

sharing the great possibilities the world could offer-

dance and family.

TEAMFAB,

I love each and every one of you.

Thank you for pulling me up 

when I was all over the floor weeping.

You understood every bit of my emotion 

even without a word coming out of my mouth.

It was so good to share the stage with some of you once again.

Let us all be fabulous together forever, yes? :)

Many thanks also to my Skittlez babies and biological family

for watching and supporting the concert. :)

And yes, 

I have found what I was looking for during the process.

This time I know it is for real.

No more hiding behind the shadows.

No more dark nights.

No more looking back.

The universe is so wonderful and beautiful 

for me to miss out those great things

and opportunities.

I choose to see colors and

 let the black & white/ gray area be gone.

I am without a doubt ready to fly away

and be free.
