Fifteen years ago I...
I was in second grade, and was a spoiled little princess living in a world she owned. Fifteen years ago, I was taking up ballet lessons at a place called Children's Dance Workshop near Zobel Roxas after school. I wasnt taking regular classes, but whenever my 'rents didn't know where to find me, and if the schoolbus did not stop my our apartment, and even my nanny new for a fact i wasn't playing w/ the neighbor's kids, they'd find me there. Staying on long after my class ended, and sitting in at with the older girls in the advanced class. little known fact: i fell in love and fell out of love with ballet at around the same time. A year later, i quit dancing because it was more fun spending after-school hours with my clique and my bestfriend.
Ten years ago I...
Was a sophomore at SSC. I was pretty and popular. Iwas smeart, and cool at the same time. and i lived up to that. I was with Eldridge, the heartthrob from San Beda who turned out to be gay after we broke up. I used to say, "What a loser!" and meant it. I was bitch. People knew me but did not exactly want to know me. I knew for a fact, there were a lot of girls in my batch who hated me, but they wanted to be me. I was addicted to Alanis Morissette, and thought of her as one of the coolest people in showbiz. I wanted to be her, and yet, was so far from being her. During this time I had a fight with Hiei because to me, the most important thing was beinmg around the cool & beautiful people.
Five years ago I...
I was in first year college. I didnt know what to do with my life, so when SSC offered me 3 courses in 4 yrs, I shrugged and said, what the hell. If it means i could study for free, then sign me up. It sounds cool anyway. During this year, my debutante ball did not push through because i caught the dengue fever a couple of weeks before my party. I guess this princess couldnt have everything she wanted after all...
I went back to dancing to de-stress. I auditioned for the SSC Danzedge and stayed with the org until I left SSC.
Two years ago I...
Was 21. I thought I had grown up. I was finally out of St. Scho, I was getting a job, earning and spending my own money, and I was madly in love with my bestfriend. I was changed, and I had it going on for me. It was hard sometimes, being head of the family and handling all the bills, but that's all part of life, right? I promised myself, someday, you'll see me and smile, because I'd be the best damn thing ever...
One year ago I...
I joined a dance competition with some people from ICT. We formed a crew and called it invICTus. Unconquerable. At first, I was upset that our HR manager didn't want me to be the Dance Captain, or the choreographer. Instead, they decided to hire someone outside ICT. A guy who didn't even win the dance competition he joined. But we won. And he turned out to be one of the nicest friends I have now.
Yesterday I...
Spent the day doing chores and catching up on sleep. I'm tired from all the BS life's been throwing at me lately. You seem so distant, but I'll be fine. Always have. Right? I want to get mad at you. I want to yell and ask, what about me? What about when I need you? But I'm not. Minsan na nga lang tayo mag-usap e... mang-aaway pa ba 'ko? Sino ba naman ako? Di naman tayo, diba?
Today I...
dont have to go to work because of the holiday. At least I get to breathe a little.
Tomorrow I...
Will wake up and go to work. As always. I'll be lucky if I get ot dance or teach dance somewhere. Added income is always welcome.
Next week I...
Will not go to work some more. Maybe I can squeeze in an audition for new invICTus crew members. Maybe I'll quit my job and look for better income somewhere else. Maybe I'll speak up. maybe.
Next year I...
want to have my shop up and running properly. that's about it for now.
