Sleepy

Its like as if I've transformed into a insoniamanic bat that sleeps on 4-5 hours a day.

My most productive hours occur from 12am - 2am.
I mean all my friends are online at this time of the day too.

Oh wow!

Holidays please come soon.

A Long and Melancholic Night

What else is there to say, when all is tinted in white;
Words hidden from the senses, of hearing or of sight;
There used to be one joyous soul, but now only one is left;
Feeling lonely and empty, on this long and melancholic night.

The Leveler Across All Fields

I've come to realize that one of the reasons I love Dance so much is because it's a leveler across all fields.

It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, educated or uneducated, male or female, boy or girl, tall or short, skinny or fat, young or old, you still can choose to dance.

While there are some that say you have to have a really fit body to do so, I believe its only true, if you decide to be a really, really outstanding dancer.

If not, dance is still for everyone!

Just look at how tribal societies and hunting parties celebrate a feast or a hunt with singing, laughter and social dancing.

Dance was an expression of joy, no matter what form it took.

Watching Robin Hood and Centurion a lil' while back made me realize how social dancing has actually evolved from merry little gatherings in taverns to the flashing lights and ear-popping music we have now in clubs.

Only sadly in clubs, I highly doubt some of the people who dance do it for celebratory purposes.

That being said and done, dance has also become a tool or a weapon for people to break free of their situations.
Just look at the bboys from the Philippines and Cambodia, I'm sure they all have their own story to tell.



I just have a hope and a vision that dancing will continue to retain its purest form in the time to come, that it shall always be an expression of joy, a measure for hope, and a lead, into the future.

Kpop Dances

Ok I'm was still a little grumpy about my test song and choreography for this week's exam until a lil while ago.

The song? Oh it's SHINee's Lucifer. To those that don't already know, I was never a fan of Kpop dance groups.

While whining helps to ease off some frustrating sentiments, that's all it'll be good at. I believe during the train ride while I was mugging the dance version video of Lucifer, my good friend, HS, told me that I should embrace the cultural mandate.

And I thought, yeah, I should huh. After all, the point of developing my talents is so that I can be more relatable to the people around me.

It's true that sometimes how artists can become so stubborn and insistent on their preferred art form that they fail to see how they have become irrelevant or eccentric to the society around them.

I guess this exam is going to stretch me in more ways than one.

All I Want For Christmas is the Trinity

Not Mariah Carey but if you had a Christmas in your childhood, you'd know this song, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth!"

No really, there is and was such a song, just that as we grow up, we stop listening to what's important and instead listen to what's popular.

Ok this post isn't going to be a debate about music.

I think one of the interesting thoughts I had about Christmas was that Jesus is the birthday boy who seems to be forever celebrating His 21st birthday(just check out that goaty and smooth skin!) and we church-goers are the people helping to organize and settle all the nitty gritty details of His party every Christmas.

I mean that's what you do when you celebrate a close friend's milestone birthday don't you? You try to help plan and make it as big a success as possible, ain't that right?

And all the guests that are invited to the birthday aren't going to know what to expect and it's our job to help them know who the birthday boy is, what gifts He wants and what kind of cake He likes.

Ok that last bit was irrelevant but I'm pretty sure you don't want to eat a myrrh cake.

Sometimes I wish people see things as plain as that.

A Christmas Errand

Double trip from expo to CA this morning just to get PK's & Sun's gifts to PT, Jacq & MH. Super drained till the point I was even falling asleep while standing in the train! But ultimately, I felt so blessed to be able to help in the giving process to bless Pst. What more a reward can a Christmas Elf ask for?

Typewalking

Even if I don't tweet while walking on the road, I still encounter problems. Today while walking home, I almost stepped on a rat.
A few days back, on a frog.
Dam it's hard to multitask with the iPhone, and I don't want to get critter guts all over my shoe.
