It was my very first time to see you doing ZUMBA and you were AWESOME!

And of course to all the zumba dancers on stage, GOOD JOB! I became more inspired because of you guys! I'm so happy and honored that I get to attend this event!  Even though traffic along C5/EDSA was horrible but it was WORTH IT!

Last night, there were dance battles for the final series and each dancer rocked the stage! There were dance performances from other schools and teams which made the night more interesting and fun to watch while every one in the concert were cheering and showing their full support.  Pinoy Funk'in Styles were there, the ROCKSTARS, Collab Crew. You guys were awesome!

Before the concert ended, a short film was shown on stage of how THA PROJECT prepared themselves for the World Hiphop 2012 and it all moved us to see how much hard work, time, sweat, pain, fun, and energy was given from each member. As the film ended, they went on stage and BOOM!!! A dance piece that they have all worked hard for the past few weeks (and in a very short time!) was SICKKKKKK!!!  EACH and EVERY ONE in the concert stood up and cheered, screamed their hearts out as they get fired up on stage!  I myself even jumped out from my seat and ran in front of the stage, jumping and raising my hands up in the air as I screamed and cheered for them!

 After the show was over, every one was still cheering wildly!  As I looked up on stage and checked out the members, they were all so happy, grateful, and some shed a few tears.  I was moved and deeply touched as I see my bro went teary-eyed for a while, thanking every one who showed their full love and support to the group. I can say this OUT loud that I am PROUD, and HONORED to have you as my brother.  You went through SO MUCH. From the Philippine Allstars, the Groovejacks, Pinoy Funk'in Styles, and now THA PROJECT. God is really watching you all the way through.  Always ALWAYS be thankful, even for the ups and downs. Remember, EVERYTHING happens for a reason, and God will always guide you and lead you to something so much better than you even expected. God is good to you. I love you sooooo much!!!  Too bad mama and papa were not here to watch you and your group performed last night but they will always love and support you. ALL THE TIME.

To all the members of THA PROJECT.  THANK YOU, for making all this happen.  And I believe Chip was all the reason behind this on why you guys joined the WHH 2012. That's cool!  I believe it's one way that God is telling you that it's TIME that you show the world what YOU all got! Share your talent, share your passion, share your love!  I'm so proud, to each and one of you!  Thank you for taking care of my bro all the way through.  YOU GUYS ARE FREAKIN' AMAZING and the DOPEST!

I love you all!

Goals.

My friend told me that I should set my goals and after thinking about what he told me, I think it's time for me to set my goals in life so I will know what I really want in my life.

So, here it is:

1) Master Mandarin in Taiwan.  I've been wanting to do this because it's a language of business and I'm sure this will take me in sooo many places.

2) Be a good dancer.  I can't say that I can be a professional dancer, but I would love to be trained and be a good dancer to inspire every one.  Even now, I still need to a lot of improvement especially when it comes to remembering the steps (need to learn how to grasp the steps quick!), and counting through the beat.  But I chose dance, because this is my way of weighing off all my stress, emotions, and love.

3) Seriously, I want a HOT boyfriend HAHAHA :) But of course, there are things that I wanted in a boyfriend, but looks are really important for me.

4) To become a one hot, sexy zumba instructor. Hey! Nothing's impossible so why not! :) Work out lang yan so kaya natin toh! :)))))

5) Stop chasing (... or as my girl friends told me, stop making "ligaw"!) the boys.  Ok lang kung lalake ako pero hindi eh! Mas matindi ako mag-ligaw. This is my problem, and when this happens, things don't last and I end up getting hurt.  I pray for that day that someone will finally win my heart :) 

6) Travel as many places as I can. Gotta live life to the fullest and discover all the amazing places that God created. Remember, we only live once.

7) Be adventurous.  I love trying new things in life. May it be food, visiting places, anything that will amaze me!  Well, if you ask me to go sky diving... ahhhh *chants: face my fear. face my fear!!!* :) You'll never know ;)

8) Not to be so melodramatic with things.  I myself hate it when I started to be so melodramatic.  It drains my energy, physically and emotionally.  I realized that the sad things I posted through twitter, even though it's only sharing of quotes, it affects the people who reads it and someone I brought my "negative" energy to them.  I don't want that. I must stop.  That's why I chose dance, where I could just dance it off, and let go.

9) Be happy.  I got all my family and friends who loves me, and I am truly blessed.

10) Smile.  That makes everything beautiful, in and out :)

Oh, this is not it. I'm sure I will be adding more to this list.  I know, it's easily said than done but hey, there's no harm in trying and giving it a shot for a good change.

I'mma be alright.

Sometimes I get weak.

My words, my actions.

I couldn't act like myself.

Rather be alone, 

than to have someone to notice

and ask me if I'm ok.

Sometimes I wanna give up.

The pain, the hurtfulness.

May take its toll on me,

wanna breakdown and cry.

Sometimes  I hate the truth.

'Cuz it tears me up,

and bleed until I'm numbed.

Making me hard to accept.

I wished for so many things,

but ended up getting hurt.

For being too hopeful.

But then again,

this is the life that challenges me

to become a better individual.

A stronger one.

I may surrender and crawl,

Too burdened for me to stand up.

But I will find the strength.

To kneel, 

and pray to God.

Because I know, 

He's listening,

watching me.

... and I'mma be alright.

For the love of cooking :9

Woke up from my nap and I got hungry but drank wheatgrass instead (-.-'')... Cannot lah!... too late to eat at this hour (T____T)

I thought of making this blog of how I love cooking.  I do love eating and these days, I became more picky of what I'm eating.

☑ No fried food

☑ No pork

☑ More greens and fruits

☑ Wheat crackers/bread

☑ Soy milk and wheatgrass

☑ Chicken - a Mang Inasal fan here! (^____^)v

☑ Fish

☑ Brown rice (Only lunch as much as possible)

☑ Calorie check

☑ ... soon to be added (^^'')> *scratches her head*

The kind of dishes that I always go for:

☑ Japanese

☑ Korean

☑ Chinese

☑ Mediterranean

☑ Greek  

☑ Indian

☑ Thai/Vietnamese/Malaysian

☑ Mexican/Spanish

☑ Italian/French

Not so much on Filipino dishes but I do have some favorites (^^).

Yes, I do love cooking.  And most of my dishes are prepared with different kinds of herbs and spices.  Simply because it makes the dish smells aromatic, and tasty too.  The dish that really took time to prepare is the Indian dish.. well so far because I have tried making a chicken mahkani from scratch and it took almost an hour!  And yes, even the naan bread or roti. It's all for the love of cooking ;)
