The love for ballet


Graceful movements, pirouettes, slinky posture, classical music, colourful tutus, ballet shoes, tights and leotards – all these encompasses a ballerina. How awesome is it to see a ballerina dancing on a stage; the movements are free flowing, like a chiffon cotton cloth being blown by the wind. Ballet stage plays just merely catches the hearts of every audience; awed and mystified by the beauties of each ballerina and how timeless and classy they move. I admire ballerinas because they seem to be graceful at all times; just there mere fact that they do ballet makes them so amazing.
I was once a ballerina in my own little way. I used to have those ballet lessons when I was still in pre-school or maybe that was like my elementary years. Attending ballet classes was fun but I guess I did not realize it’s worth way back. I used to enjoy every ballet classes I used to attend every after school. I liked having those colourful tights and leotards; I had like a number of them. I loved my pink ballet shoes. I enjoyed recitals and I get challenged by the thought of it. The sad part is, I stopped ballet lessons mainly because the little girl me that time got tired with the kind of schedule I used to have. Mom used to tell me that I got tired of doing it and that I want to stop ballet lessons. Well, when I got older, I realized that the decision that I had years ago was a wrong move. I regret why I stopped attending ballet lessons. What can I do, I was just a kid, not thinking about the decisions to be made. Maybe for me that time, it was a good decision to stop but actually it’s not. I wish I could just go back in time and erase that part when I made my not so good decision about quitting the whole ballet thing.
Years may go by but still my love for dancing and ballet will forever be there. It didn’t matter if I stopped way back but the thought of it that I experienced doing ballet, doing the moves and pirouettes, then I can say that it’s enough for me. My love for ballet and dancing as a whole would forever be there. I will always love stage plays, theatre acts, movies which has something to do with dancing and stuffs like that. Two thumbs up and full applause to the ballerinas out there. I simply adore you all.

Lazy day today

Oh, it’s been raining the whole morning already and I bet it will still go on the whole day. The weather today is so gloomy, not to mention it is indeed very very rainy outside. I should have gone out for island hopping today but I’d have to say, change of plans due to the unstoppable rain. Instead of complaining and whining because of the heavy rain, I might as well enjoy it and find ways to make the day interesting despite the never ending raindrops. The fact that the rain hasn’t stopped since it started early dawn, the weather is way too conducive for sleeping, be lazy, pig out while watching a movie and couch potato stuffs I guess. But, on the brighter side, due to this hazy weather today, I get to enjoy the pleasant and calming sound of the rain. The weather is just so serene; it’s the perfect time to spend time alone and feel the breeze of the cold weather. It is the perfect time to grab a cup of hot coffee paired with a cinnamon or a cookie maybe, go read a novel and just relax as I feel the frosty atmosphere overwhelm me.

happily ever after dream


I like to have dreams in my sleep because dreaming simple gives me the chance to escape reality for a while. In dreams, I see impossible and beautiful things happen. Vivid imaginations come alive and bring happy thoughts to my mind even for a while. In dreams, I can be my own princess, meet up with my prince charming, catch the sight of my own beautiful sparkling castle, and I get to have that happily ever after kind of story just like in fairy tales.

a kid's world


It’s always fun being a kid. A child’s life may seem to be as carefree as it seems. For them, life appears to be a no worry type of existence. They don’t have to worry what’s going to happen tomorrow or in the near future. A child’s day can already be said complete if he or she played the whole day. Playing is what keeps a child a busy and satisfied. Children always have that precious smiles on their faces, a mere giggle and a warm smile would brighten any adult’s horrible day. Yes, kids are definitely cute and adorable but often times, they become stubborn and with just a snap, they can be in their temper tantrum mode. Funny how easily they can be motivated with just simple M&M’s, a couple of starburst candies, a trip to the ice cream store, offering them their favourite bar of chocolate. Happiness for them can be seen everywhere and be felt all the time. It is such a wonderful life that they are living—a life that is simple, having not to worry about responsibility and a life that is not complicated.

Why am I even saying these things about kids? It is because I do sometimes envy the life of a kid. Yes, I was once a kid and I sure did love it. It’s living life with no worries, being contented with simple toys, getting bored because simply got tired of playing with the same old toys, tripping and falling down earning some scratches and wounds that are easily relieved through colourful band aids. When I grew up, I realized that a kid’s life is so much fun. How I wish I never would grow old or even age every year just like Peter Pan living in Never Land. But life is not like that. Apparently, we all have to age every year and having to face the reality about life. An adult’s life is way too complex and far way too beyond living the carefree life that we had experienced when we were still kids. An adult’s life gives the impression that ‘man is never satisfied with whatever he has in his life.’ When you’re an adult, getting hurt is not as easy as repairing one’s wound with band aids like what kids experience. Adults have that tendency not to be able to cope up immediately when emotional hurt arises. I hope we can just like put band aids to repair all the hurts that we have been through and would still be going through. How I want it to be that an adult’s life can be as easy as one two three, that as adults, we can get motivated easily with a bunch of candies, chocolates and ice creams, that we too could also find meaning and happiness in everything that we do and how I wish that we would live an uncomplicated life that we used to have when we were still kids. I know we can’t be kids forever but if we just look deep in ourselves, there’s always a kid inside of us and that is the thing that will never fade away.

Are promises really meant to be broken?



The word “promise” is such a grave word. It needs sincerity and whole hearted honesty every time one utters that word. To promise to a person is not an easy thing to do. Often times, people make promises all the time and yet, it ends up getting broken in the end. Most of the time, a guy would promise to a girl that he would stay faithful and he will love the girl till the end of time. Apparently, that promise is most of the time overlooked by men and it seemed like it has already been mouthed from one man to another. If we would look at it in the society, it is an example of a promise that is almost if not always been left broken. Many hearts have been shattered just with those words of promises which never came into reality. Another simple example would be of a career woman type of mother who promises to be there on her daughter’s very special birthday party. Yet, in the end, the mother was not able to attend her daughter’s much awaited birthday party and ends up feeling devastated. Instances like these are like moments in life that you wish had not ever existed. That you somehow wished that the promises were not said because all those wonderful words just left you hanging and felt bitter about the situation and even made you feel bad about the person. It’s always difficult when you’re holding on to the promises left by the person you trust most, value the most or even the one you love so dearly. You’d want to curse the words been sent and hope that the person who said could just all take them back but it’s all too late. The words have been stated and the promises have been broken.

Is it man’s nature to keep on promising where in fact, it would just lead to nowhere? Or are there just people who are just all about saying beautiful enticing words of promises and yet they don’t really mean it at all. It’s a bitter reality but the fact that many lives were broken just because of darn promises not kept and meant. Sweet words turned into viscous lies after all.

Wouldn’t it be nice when a person says he will do it and he promises to do it, willingly keeps up to the promise he meant? Wouldn’t it be better if we say a “promise is a promise” and really proves that he or she meant what was been said? Promises made by any person should all be coming from the heart. Not just merely saying those words because for the sake of exchange of sweet words that actually meant sweet nothings at all. It needs to be true and sincere so that no feelings will be spoiled and no relationships, ambitions and even families will be destroyed. So, the next time you make any promises, think about it first if you can live up to it and won’t end up flouting the promises in the end.
