Time To Feel Sexy

Amidst the PANIC and all (for nothing), I say for nothing because we are not joining the so called "dance recital" at Market! Market! NO WAY we're gonna dance there, right in the middle of the mall in the activity center! I was really pissed off and disgusted upon learning that it will be held there, never mind if "she" says that it's for a charity cause. The fact that she committed us without even consulting is a big NO NO! We were misled into believing that it's gonna be at OASIS (a hall that can be rented out for certain functions) with friends and relatives as our audience. We started practicing really well all the routines that we will be doing, to the point that everytime I go home I feel bodyaches here and there. Plus the moolah spent for all the costumes needed, time spent in doing all the costumes, sometimes reaching until way past 12 AM just to be able to finish it, spending less and less time in the internet, sacrificing all the blog posts (harhar, this is not soo true at all, my! i'm making this as an excuse).

Well, I'm looking at it this way. Never mind the time and moolah spent for the costumes and all, I can use it anyway in our sessions, isn't it nice to be dancing in a "real" belly dance costumes? I was telling Cuz too that the incident shouldn't get in the way and that we just charge it to experience, continue with this fitness program (so far the best program for me) and the most important of all, the bonding that we get to have twice a week.

And why the title? Oh I don't know too...maybe I just want to feel good after what has happened. So I got myself a lil prize...forget about the blahniks and the choos...

Panic Mode

Pardon me if I haven't posted in quite a while, much as I want to, but you see I'm in a PANIC MODE! Since I learned that we will have a dance recital on the 3rd of December, doing my costumes take much of my time. Why not buy, or have one made by a pro you say...well I don't really wanna spend that much moolah, imagine 1 costume would cost you about P3,500 (roughly around $70), and we need 4, 1 for each dance routine. So what I did, I bought some materials in Divisoria...spent around P1,300 ($26) only. Then I looked for instructions in the internet on how to make a circle skirt, woohoo! I was able to do it! Remember I am a certified DIY Momma!



I have to double time too on this. I asked our helper to take it out of the storeroom, and put it upstairs near our bedroom.

I can't stop myself from eating chocolates, chips, anything I find in the house, thus, a bulging tummy.

Here's a preview of what we are going to wear in our upcoming Dance Recital. We were asked by our teacher to wear our costumes, put on some make-up, and smile a lot. Want to know the reason why? We will be featured on Channel 23 (I exactly don't know when) and had a photoshoot for some magazine.

Rare Times

I woke up extra early today to prepare the marinades for the food that I will be serving Cuz and her family for lunch. I was a bit excited and at the same time worried coz this is the first time I'm having guests at home. I am used to cooking only for the family. I decided to go "inihaw" (grilled), having porkchops, chicken inasal, and milkfish. I also included in the menu my signature korean dish which is beef bulgoki which we were supposed to cook in the dining table (but everyone was hungry so I decided to just cook it myself in the stove) and my Mom's famous(only among relatives) pancit molo. I haven't quite perfected this dish yet but i'm proud to say that i've come close (di ba Kuya Rey?) to Mom's version.

It was a fun filled afternoon, kids having their own things to do like watch dvd, play video games, surf the net. The boys had their own too, talking about guns, bikes, dogs, etc. Of course we had our own agenda too, talked about the costumes we will be wearing in our upcoming belly recital on the first week of December, I showed Cuz the materials I was able to buy in Divisoria, and we were able to practice one dance routine.

Time was short, we couldn't squeeze all the things we wanted to do, I guess that's how it always is when you are having fun, time rans fast. For photos, please click Cuz' latest entry here
