Back to Normal

If you noticed, I have not been online for longer periods since the beginning of this week. We were busy preparing for Regine Tolentino’s Dance School Annual Summer Program. As usual I was stuck doing the beading of my costume, yep last minute again. I didn’t want to have a new costume but I don’t know why I changed my mind. Probably because there was a bra that was halfway done already only sitting in the drawer. So I thought, why not continue doing it. All my time was spent with beads, thread and needle. I had to do my SPs in a hush, and in between. I didn’t have that much time visiting the blogs in my blogroll. I had some time spent over at twitter, well I can’t do away with it. I already have more than 2000 twits. So now you know why, lol. Since Monday we have been practicing hard, spending like 4 hours in the dance studio polishing our routine. It was no joke dancing in heels. I felt my leg muscles harden coupled with backaches. Ahhh the joys of participating in a recital. I treated it more like excercise really, so my body felt good. The hard part is waking up at 3 in the morning just to get ready for the big day. I know, why that early? Because once again, the recital was featured in Unang Hirit at GMA 7. We once again got our 1 minute fame, lol.

Day Off

Posted by girlie on April 28, 2008

I think this TV stint needs some explanation. There is a show on QTV called Day Off. They pick people from different work field to be given an day off. Then the show’s hosts take over. In this case our Belly Dancing Teacher was the winner and she was given a day off. Pekto took over the class. But before that we had to teach him some basics of belly dancing. That explains me in a white top teaching Pekto some basic moves. Come class time, he took over (me in blue midrib). The other students were on holiday (it was taped Monday after the Holy Week) so there was only 4 of us. If not for this show, I would not be seen on TV. This is actually my way of saying thank you to my belly dancing teacher for patiently teaching us. Throug belly dancing my posture was corrected, not that I have the best posture in the world, but I tell you it has improved a lot. It’s also through belly dancing that I got my little curves. I’m working on my tummy though, it’s still bloated. (Note: been dancing since 2005) Pardon me if I recorded on the portion where I am seen. I’m scared to run out of memory in my compact flash. You see I recorded this using my Sony P&S camera. Hhhhmmm and maybe because of a little narcissistic disorder?

TV Stint

The episode in Day Off was shown yesterday. Haha I was excited to watch myself on telly. Yeah really. I even recorded it so I will be able to post it in my blog. Well I’m posting it so my friends and relatives who missed it can finally watch it. Darn, I could have smiled more, I would have looked good all throughout the show. But as what hubby says all the time, it would really show what you are, and in my case, I’m formal, and a bit of a snub. I dunno, I get tired smiling all the time, maybe I need more practice. I will be posting the episode in small parts so you guys will not have to wait long. So here’s the first part. Enjoy!

*Day Off is a television show shown every Saturday over at QTV hosted by Carmina Villaroel and Pekto. In this episode, my belly dancing teacher was given a day off and it was Pekto who took over the class. We had to teach him a little basic of belly dancing before the start of the class.
