think rainbows

So yesterday, everyone had to brave the rains, floods and wind just to be able to get home. Some were even stranded in the offices, some of my officemates included. I was lucky to get a ride going home from one of my officemates, but still had to pass through our flooded street. I had no other choice, it was just only a few steps away anyway, so might as well.

It's still raining today. Hopefully the rain would stop soon, so yesterday won't happen again. And luckily, no one gets stranded, and we'd all be able to go home safe and sound.

Looks like it'll be a rainy birthday weekend.

Thanks for the cake, Alvin. =D

It's tomorrow. Hopefully it'll all still be fun. =)

P.S.
Dapat may department rin for suspension of work days. LOL.
This is the only acceptable rain that won't give you any hassle. You'll even be sayin, more please! =D (Credits to plurk posts by Aja and Cheski. =P)

"I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losing control. 'Cause the power you're supplying, it's electrifying!"

It all started with Google and the keywords "dance studio"/"dance school". Next thing I knew I was debating with myself whether to call, to email, or to just send a text message to this dance studio I've never heard of before.

Late last year I've started dancing again. I found this studio in Quezon City which offers hiphop classes for a low price. It was too far from my place so I really didn't get to go there frequently, but just the same, I enjoyed the two dance classes I was able to go to. When 2011 entered, I included in my new year's resolutions to dance again. And last February, I was able to get a head start for it.

I started searching for a dance studio that's either near the office or near our house. I was able to find one near the office, although they offered ballroom classes. I was hoping for some hiphop classes, but since I'm not new to ballroom anyway, I thought it was okay. I thought about it for days, weeks, if I was going to continue and enroll in this dance studio. (The discount played a huge role in the decision-making process.=P) I searched for everything I could find about the dance studio before deciding to make a call. That was a Thursday, then Tuesday the following week, classes had begun.

I was nervous at first because I didn't know what to expect. The only thing I thought about was that I might be the youngest in the class, I mean since it's ballroom and not a lot of teens are into that unlike if it's hiphop, right? It might be hard to make new friends. I was right, and I was wrong. I was right that I might be the youngest among the students, until there was this two guys who I think were only in high school or college. But they didn't last, so I was still the youngest, although the scholars of the studio were younger. The scholars though weren't students like us, so I think that doesn't really count. =D

It was really fun. Even if our class wasn't that close to each other, even if I knew nobody in the class, I was having fun. The fact that I always have fun whenever I get to dance could be one of the reasons, but still, you wouldn't have as much fun if what you're actually doing and the people you're with isn't fun. I started looking forward to every class that we're going to have, and I didn't want it to end. So when they opened some new classes, and after checking the schedule, I enrolled once again, and I found myself at the studio every night from Mondays to Thursdays. It was only 1 hour per class so it wasn't really that tiring, it was just right. :) I also got to make new friends; my classmates were really nice. :)

The teachers then started talking about a recital in May; an inter-studio recital. It got me really interested and thought I would really love to be involved with the recital. There were some what ifs, and is it possible, and some other issues here and there, but still, it happened. If there's a will, there's a way, right? :)

This, I would just like to share to everyone. :)



If you want to take up ballroom dancing classes, or just dance for fun, for exercise, or for past time, try this studio. Studio 116 is located at Suite 135-B Ground Floor, LRI Plaza, 210 Nicanor Garcia St. (formerly Reposo St.), Bel-Air II, Makati City.

They have different kinds of classes, morning and evening. You don't need to have a partner to enroll, you could enroll by yourself and they will provide your partner when time comes that you need one. But, you could also enroll as a couple. The people here are really nice too, and the teachers are good. :)

I think they have dance classes every month. Check them out! :)
