HOLY CRAP. I'VE BEEN PUT FRONT AND CENTER (AND SOLO) FOR PART OF A FREAKIN DANCE COMPETITION.

HOLY, HOLY CRAP.

I NEED TO THINK TWICE BEFORE VOLUNTEERING FOR THINGS!!@@$#@%#

To be fair, I wasn't a total idiot. I thought it'd be the traditional (therefore not hip-hop/moderny) Filipino dance--something I've seen and somewhat done before. What ( Read more... )

I'm so excited for my hostel's "International Night" this Saturday. We're going to make complete asses of ourselves, it's GREAT. We've stolen the dance routine from this comedian (you can watch it on YouTube) which basically chronicles the whole evolution of dance, beginning mid-twentieth century. We do the twist, some Elvis, parts of "Beat It" ( Read more... )

My three weeks of dance-dance craziness has finally come to an end: Lu'au, Club Filipino, AsiaFest...that's it, they're all done. No more two/three-hour practices to go to; no more stressed-out choreographers to deal with; no more shows to videotape; no more afterparties to attend. What am I supposed to do now--actually study?!? Looking back ( Read more... )

I've been in dance practice since 6 pm this evening.

At the very last minute, the choreographer switched things up and now I'm scared I'm going to mess up at the end.

I haven't done any homework.

My family's going to come down Saturday, with the grandparents, and the apartment looks like crap.

Crap.

I wish I had a digital video camera. I've become addicted to using the one in my digital camera, except mine's about to croak I think and I need to make it last until at least New Zealand. The lenses makes hacking, slot machine-esque noises whenever I turn it on, but the picture quality is still exceptional. Also, having a digital camera would ( Read more... )

I just realized I never posted this.

Haven't posted in a while, my bad. Hokay, so, in a brief breakdown:

-dancing for cultural shows (Hawaii Club Lu'au, Filipino Club's Bayanihan, AsiaFest) TAKES OVER YOUR LIFE
-but it's so much fun ( Read more... )

It's Fridayyyy...

and it's also St. Patrick's Day, so do the happy dance.

I think my roommates and I are suffering from post-vacation boredom. Yesterday we dedicated an entire evening to eating chips and salsa as well as watching Diego Luna shake his bon-bon in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. The plot barely holds itself together; anachronisms ( Read more... )

This dance group makes me want to give up school and pursue shaking my ass for a living (Oh wait I'm not coordinated): Culture Shock, DC.

I live for the weekends, period.

(More on my crazy 48 hours later...that'll be my study break, haha...)

Edit: Okay, the link doesn't work. Drop me a line and I can send the video vile to you. It's sososoSO ( Read more... )

Urban Fare was--to be ghetto for a minute--"aight." I'm just happy I to do a bit of hip hop dancing once in my life, fulfilling my lifelong ambition to be an MTV video girl. :P Our dance was pretty short, about three minutes: a medley including Akon's "Bonanza" (guy/girl dance, fun & flirty); David Banner's "Play" (raunchy); and then Brooke ( Read more... )

I have dress rehearsal until the end of time today.

Is it ever too early in the school year to have meltdowns?

On a random note, we were watching The Last of the Mohicans (with Daniel Day-Lewis) for American Studies class today, and it had about a 5 minute makeout scene, complete with heavy breathing, etc, etc. REALLY awkward, considering my ( Read more... )
