August. As usual, my school always prepare something for that special occassion. Last year was lavishly prepared that's why this year we just layed low. But that didn't stop us from enjoying Buwan ng Wika. The Filipino department of High School organized a contest for each level. Since I'm already in third year, Speech choir was given to us. Each section must have their own representatives. I was one of the representatives of our class and not only that... I was also the director. The third year was given a peice: Kayong mga Naghuhugas... It was written by our own adviser himself. Well, I can say that the competition was intense. Each section was determined to win especially us, since our adviser was the author himself. The peice was given to us as early as July to give us enough time to prepare. For me, I couldn't say that the time aloted was enough because the day before the actual performance, I was still busy making the costumes and finishing the choreography for the peice. Sigh. Good thing I have my members to help out. Our adviser also helped in our voice and acting. Before we parted that day I told myself: We can do this!
Day of the performance. Our class was so busy preparing for the performance. While us, the representatives, rehearse the whole peice, the rest of the class were preparing the props we're going to use. We even borrowed our LE period so that we could prepare ourselves properly. Then, the time came finally! We were called to go up to the Little Theater with 3- 8. Before entering, we prayed first. Then Kyle Plaza told us no matter what happen that day, we just have to enjoy ourselves. Then that's it. After the performance, I was very confident that we'll win because I know that we did great. That afternoon, ma'am Brual told me that we got 2nd place! Gosh!! I could've have died there. After all those hardwork and stress...finally! It has paid off!!! Hahahahaha That day was the most hectic, busy, stressful yet fun day ever! I hope there's going to be more in the future.
Here are the pictures during our practice:

When you ask ordinary people what is dance for them, they would say: it's for entertainment, a hobby or it's just a compilation of moves and actions, but try asking REAL dancers. You won't hear them saying those things. Dancing for them is something significant and it's already a part of their mind, heart and soul. I for one agree with that. When I dance, I don't think that it's just for fun, entertainment or just something to pass time. Dancing is a way of expressing myself. Ever since I was born, dancing has already been attached to me. My mother is/was a dancer so it's already in my blood. She didn't force me to be a dancer. I decided it by myself. I told myself: As long as I am alive and breathing, I will continue to dance. I love the feeling of music flowing through my every being. It's also the reason why I am thankful that I am alive. God gave me this talent and I thank him for that. That's why I always treasure the time I use when I am dancing.
Here are some of the dance I've performed:
This one is an example of 'Maskara Festival' dance that we performed in school during our Filipino month. Of all the dance that I've performed this one is the most scandalous! Why scandalous? After the dance, my classmates kept on teasing me and my partner for two or more months! It was so irritating and annoying!

I'm the one lifting my left foot
The first three pictures is G6 and the others is Fireworks. I like our dance in G6 because the steps are so me plus it's Hip Hop (I love Hip Hop). The dance in Fireworks is amazing! The effects of the fans are so exhilarating! Totally breathtaking. I didn't know it was that awesome while I was dancing but when I saw the pictures...wow! I love this!
This one is performed during our graduation ceremony in Taiwan Study Tour. We performed lots of dance there but I couldn't find the pictures so I can't show you. Sorry. The best thing about about this dance (the one on the two pics) is that I get to be partners with my crush! There was a waltz part so we had to hold hands and embrace! Weeeee!!!
I am also a part of our school CDT- Chinese Dance Troupe. We do diff. kinds of Chinese dances, Hip hop and Jazz. We usually perform during school programs, Alumni reunion, Gala Nights and programs outside the school like in SM X. We also join competitions like the one in YMCA. Sadly, I wasn't part of the group. They won first place.
Just by looking at the pics you already have an idea on what kind of dance they performed. It was a thrilling experience, well that's what they said.
Gala Night Poster
That day we performed a collection of dances we performed. This concert was meant as a farewell gift to our teacher who is going back to China this coming April. Although some of the dances was a disaster (for us at least), I'm glad that it turned out ok. Actually, we didn't expect a lot people to come but we were surprised that the auditorium was almost full. It was a veru fun day for us Chinese Dance Troupe!
That's all for now. I'm going to keep updating this one 'cuz there's going to be more dance! See you next time!
Christmas is over and here comes New Year! Whew! Well, a new year requires changes right? So from today onwards, I vow to change...change back to the old me! Haha. Wierd? Usually when people change, they change into a new person but me, I want to change back to the old me. 'Cuz the old me is way better than the present me. Why? Because the old me was very strong. I could take on any challenges that life gives me. I was very confident and sure of myself. In other words, I was sane before. That's why I want to change back. As you have known, by reading my previous posts, the me this year sucks real bad! I want to get read of it this coming new year. God also said, by reading the Bible, that I have to be patient in order to be happy. So I would also take life slowly and not hurry. Because hurrying will make me miss the oppurtunities that I should've taken. Well, how's that for my New Year's Resolution?
Why are humans still dwelling in the past when the future is already lying in the present? Why should they go back to the time when they felt pain and suffering when happiness is already there? What's with the past that is stopping us from moving on and being happy?
I myself doesn't want to go back to the past and experience them all over again. I don't want to feel the pain and suffering I had before. Maybe that's why I'm having a hard time accepting happiness, which is just in front of me. What's with those people(you know who they are) that is making me suffer more than had before? I am in agony. I can't believe that this is because of those people! I want to move on and enjoy my life. I want to forget about the past that made me like this. Everytime I distance myself from this agony, the more that I feel alone and more agonized. I don't know what to do! Everytime I open my facebook account all I see are quotes posted by my friends which, it seems, is telling me to relax because it's ok, it's alright. But nothing's alright! They keep telling me to be honest about my feelings, but if I will do that the more that I will suffer. I don't want to expect impossible things. I don't want to wait because waiting is still the same as dreaming. They said that time heals all wounds but why isn't my wound healed yet. Heck, it's still bleeding! This medicine is not working on me, so should I try a new medicine?
What's wrong with fate? I don't know why it thinks that that person and I suite each other. It's so annoying when it tries to bring us together! Today, out of nowhere, this issue popped out again just because of a stupid game of Truth or Dare. Sigh. The more these things happen the more I hate and love him. What's the matter with me anyway? I'm not always like this. Whenever I see his face, my blood begins to boil but then something in him makes me go back to my normal self and then I'll be able to see the real him without his face getting in the way. Sometimes I feel that the boy I always see in school is different from who he really is. I can also feel that he is afraid of showing the real him. I know there's a lot of him that he doesn't show us. I know this because whenever I watch him talk with other people, it's like he leaves 70% of him and hides the 30% of him inside. Although he just hides the 30% of him, it's already a lot for me, because for me 1% is already a big deal. If you can't show other people who you really it's the same as lying to them because you hide a part of you from them. I can't quite put my finger on this feeling. Whatever it is I know that it's just trouble in my part.
