On Dancing ;-)

I've never had any talent in dancing or singing or anything with regards to music. But it doesn't mean I don't enjoy music, I really do, in fact, I am a music lover.

So when I watched two of the routines in So You Think You Can Dance, which were No Air danced by Katee and Joshua and Bleeding Love danced by Mark and Chelsie, I was astounded by the talents they got. From then on, I started downloading SYTYCD from season 1 (which tested my patience since net in the condo and at home were very slow and the files were very large), and voila! I was an addict! ;-D

It's really an amazing experience watching the contestants' movements, different styles and techniques, and especially their improvements and challenges they overcomed as the competition progressed. It literally moved me. At many points, I got teary-eyed because of the passion these dancers were pouring on their routines, their love from what they were doing was very evident, and their personal and professional experiences are manifested in every act they made in the stage. They moved me, feeling the connection between the artist and a viewer. Even though I wasn't in that same stage and crowd, I felt their presence within me, and I was very honored to witness that kind of beautiful creation. ;-)

To all dancers out there, not only to SYTYCD dancers, I bow my head to all of you.

Downloading SYTYCD continues... ;-)

On Dreams

Since I'm having a hard time sleeping because of my left hip, yes, I'm blogging.

I found this post-it note from one of my fave links, wherein this site provides a list of post-it notes (with cool sketches) about "things we forget", which are left in public places for everyone to see and ponder.

"Follow your dreams" has been a popular line from a quotation or a song, and from those input, I always thought that it was good to follow your dreams. But on seeing thing image, I think it makes better sense to "chase" your dreams rather than just "follow" them. Both are positive outtakes on pursuing his or her dream. However, "chase" is a much more proactive word than "follow" which is a bit passive. ;-)

Anyway...as much as I want to continue blogging, my hip really hurts. :-( I really need to rest since I'll be going to the dentist in six hours...sleep now, Faith. ;-)

I Write Like...

I write like
Gertrude Stein

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!



So I write like her. I browsed through her works, I don't remember reading any of them.
Hmm... curious indeed. :-)
I might read them someday. ;-)

On Losing Focus :-(

I'm losing my focus again. I think it's the weather. I'm always sleepy. Like a sloth, I don't wanna move because it's too hot. -__-

But I need to start studying Java. Gotta prepare for my upcoming work, especially if I'll be assigned to a one-man-team project.

Focus.
Focus.
Focus.
(Say this to myself a hundred times)

My Ken also needs a push, he should really get the certification before the year ends.

GOTTA FOCUS!

On Taking a New Path ;-)

Can't sleep yet. Anxious? Kinda. Pressured? Maybe. Nervous? A li'l. Excited? Definitely. ;-)

I'm about to go through a new phase in my career within a week, which makes me sleep-deprived in the past few days. My friend and former college block mate, Nice, has given me a hunch that I'll be assigned to a new project which is related to Android mobile phones! ;-) I'm feeling kinda anxious and maybe pressured since most of the new projects are one-man teams, which will then left me all the responsibilities of my project-to-be. A li'l nervous because of the new faces. Nevertheless, I'm totally excited because of the new technical stuff I'll learn, new people to work with, and new experiences to gain.

I hope everything will be fine.
I hope I can tell someday, "All was well." :-)
Aja! :-)

My New Shoelaces :-)


Got a new pair of checkered shoelaces for my chucks..love them! :)

Reminds me of simple things in life that can make me really happy and paint a smile in my face. ;-)
