this post has been in my drafts queue for quite a while now. however, after watching the latest episodes of So You Think You Can Dance i knew i had to post this.
i’m one of those girls who has taken ballet when she was young. i think most little girls go through their ballerina phase. i stopped after one year though, because i didn’t like my teacher. i do not regret my decision to stop ballet because it really wasn’t my thing but whenever i see really talented dancers do their thing, i am filled with a tinge of envy. there is a beauty when a person can use their body to express how they feel.
the reason i decided to go ahead and post this was because i was really touched by one of the dances from the latest performance episode of this season, namely,
Kupono and Kayla, Contemporary
Choreography: Mia Michaels
Music: Gravity by Sara Bareilles
yeah, i gasped when the song started playing and i was tearing up to the end of the performance.
the rest are not listed in any order at all. i remember getting goosebumps in all of them though. i haven’t really watched all of the previous seasons of SYTYCD. this is the first season that i’m watching from start to end. the next time i go to quiapo, i’ll probably get the earlier seasons so i can get more of my dancing fix. 
Allison and Ivan, Contemporary
Choreographer: Tyce Diorio
Music: Why by Annie Lennox
Jonathan and Karla, Contemporary
Choreography: Stacey Tookey
Music: Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Inglova
Chelsea and Mark, Lyrical
Choreographer: Napoleon and Tabitha
Music: Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis
Lacey and Kameron, Contemporary
Choreographer: Mia Michaels
Music: Dancing by Elise
the last is a dance Joshua and Katee did but there isn’t a youtube video i could find. 
here’s another “complete” video featuring two different dancers…
Ben Susak and Pam Chu Song
Choreographer: Wade Robson
Music: Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer
oh, here it is but without music. boo youtube boo!!!
Joshua and Katee, Lyrical
notice how many of the dances are contemporary. i really have no idea what that genre of dance it but i love it! a friend once said, if it’s something we can’t categorize then it’s probably contemporary! hahaha!
edit: i forgot to add this group routine which i found so so so sexy!!!
Choreographer: Tabitha and Napoleon
Music: Calle Ocho by Pitbull
yesterday was the first day of the all-mens and all-womens league, Malakas & Maganda. even though we were thoroughly exhausted after playing 3 games, 2 of which were back-to-back, we still found time to do this…
bwahahahaha! it’s supposed to be the T3 cheer but none of the boys were really buying it but we decided to do it anyway.
yep, this is never going to fail to make me smile. i really do love my friends!
*thanks for the .gif file claire! 
c’mon, i’m sure you know what this game is all about but for those non-alcoholics out there, here’s how it’s played…
i’ve played this game only twice, not really wanting to reveal anything to people i don’t feel comfortable sharing these type of information with. plus it can get pretty uncomfortable when you’ve hooked up with another person that’s part of the circle and you don’t want the rest of them to know about it. i’m still pretty pissed about him trying to get me to drink to one of the statements which we both know i should’ve drank to but didn’t.
there are two ways you tend to feel after playing this game: either that you are prude or that you are a slut, both of which are entirely subjective. there’s nothing wrong in feeling either emotion too. it’s pretty interesting how sex has evolved from being a somewhat taboo topic to being the main theme of some movies, tv shows (Sex and the City!) and advertisements. we are surrounded by sexual innuendos… an Axe deodorant commercial where a woman bites off the ass of a chocolate covered man and billboards of hot celebrities modelling underwear. sex is everywhere nowadays!
the Philippines is currently being taken by storm by the Hayden Kho scandals. videos of a local doctor who has a fetish for videotapping himself while having sex have been leaked on the internet. it doesn’t help that his victims are starlets, models and mainstays in gossip columns. what’s really funny though is how everyone’s making a big deal out of it. the case is in the senate for crying out loud! why our government deems it necessary to intercede in such a menial issue is beyond me. in my opinion, there are far more important issues that the government should be paying attention to. i think they’ve sensationalized this issue because the Philippines is supposedly a “conservative” country. yeah, right! there’s nothing “conservative” about teenagers getting pregnant, streetwalkers along Makati Avenue or Quezon City, and our ever-booming nightlife scene whose ingredients can include booze, drugs and sex. we even have our own craigslist, ya know?! i’m sure we would all like to portray our country, which is known to be a Christian country, as pure but it really isn’t anymore. what’s more irking are how self-righteous some people are, condemning and judging Katrina for the video. remember the story of the adulterous woman from the Bible? when Jesus was asked what her punishment should be, he says, “Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” (John 8:7) okay, so i totally googled that one up! 
sooo… this post suddenly became a rant on the Kho-Halili scandal which wasn’t really my intention but i couldn’t help it. haha! i guess what i’m trying to say is that what happens between a man and a woman behind closed doors is their business, whether they have a sextape or not. we’ve come a long way from Ladies being told to lie down and think of England during the sexual act. there is nothing wrong in exploring or enjoying everything there is out there. and, mind you, there is quite a lot to explore! so go and kiss someone of the same sex (something i don’t think i’ll ever do. ), makeout with a stranger at a party, maybe even have a one-night stand… just don’t expect to be sober or functional after playing “i never” though. hahahaha!
since i have no originality at this things, i copied this survey from roxy.
DRINKING BUDDIES OF THE YEAR?
Meron pa bang ibang tatalo sa TODA?
YOUR SONG FOR 2008
Gravity by Sara Bareilles
I know, I know… It’s a sad song. hehe. Maybe it’s more of the impression the artist made to me than the actual song although it’s my favorite of hers. Sara Bareilles is my favorite artist of 2008. She’s just amazing!
LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD – LONGEST FRIEND
Melissa. we’ve known each other since the 2nd grade. we’ve been bonding recently over a common love for lomography.
NEWCOMER AWARD – COOLEST NEW FRIEND
Nina. technically she isn’t a new friend because i’ve known her since college. however, i’ve only gotten the opportunity to get to know her better recently and it’s been a blast hanging out with her!
HIGH POINT OF THE YEAR?
TODA playing the Finals game against Askalz for the Monsoon League. What a high!
LOW POINT OF THE YEAR?
Getting my heart broken big time.
BEST HOLIDAY
It wasn’t really a holiday but the best weekend ever for me was the 3-day bonding vacation TODA spent in Bacolod to celebrate Connie’s birthday. Getting drunk before 12 noon was so much fun!!!
BEST MOVIE FOR 2008
There really wasn’t a movie that made it to my favorite movies list but I think the movie I enjoyed the most was Mamma Mia! Definitely worth watching!
VALENTINE’S DAY DATE
TODA Pickup in SanLo. The first time I actually spent Valentine’s Day outside of the house.
RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR
Hmmm… Nothing is coming to mind. Basta this was the year that I fell in love with Japanese food!!!
BEST DECISION MADE THIS YEAR
This may sound weird but getting a tattoo (Actually, I got two. hehe.) was the best decision I’ve made this year. To date, it’s probably the most outrageous, not to mention permanent, crazy thing I’ve done. And I love it!!!
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR?
- Get fit. (yes, career mode ulit sa ultimate. hehe)
- Try out Pole Dancing (yeah, seryoso ako dito!).
- Date (sana lang meron ma-date diba?)
- A 3- to 4-week US trip.
- Go on beach trips as much as I can.
- Get more tattoos. (oo, adik ako.)
- Be a more consistent blogger.
Hmm…. Yan lang maisip ko for now. Will try to make my 2009 list early next year.
MOST STUPID IDEA WHEN DRUNK
Getting wasted and making a fool of myself at a company party. I’m never ever doing that again!
MOST MEMORABLE FIRSTS
Oh, I have a few of these!
- Getting a Brazilian Bikini Wax – oh yes! hahaha!
- Getting inked!!!
- A trip abroad (to Singapore) with friends. My first time abroad without family.
BIGGEST CHANGE OF THE YEAR
Paying my credit card bills myself. It’s opened my eyes to how much of a shopaholic I actually am. There still is a lot I have to learn about personal finance and control.
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION
Be more open to experiences. Try not to over-think everything. Be more spontaneous.
GENERAL FEELING FOR 2009
It’s going to be awesome!!!
my family isn’t much into the open gifts on christmas eve so we already exchanged gifts two days ago. it was my idea. we decided to have our annual family picture taken earlier than usual and my mom wasn’t sure of what to wear. since my sister and i bought her clothes for christmas i asked her if she wanted her gifts earlier so she could wear it for our family picture. she said yes and we all decided to exchange gifts then. hahaha!
