Salsa is FUN!

Salsa-ing is so much fun! I think that if you're a girl, you'd have a blast! It's harder for guys because generally they are supposed to lead the girls. I went with my sister and a couple of friends. I went very minimalistic. The eyes were done, but everything else was simple. The picture is kinda blurry and very still-like. I'm not sure if i actually like it. But, it works. My partners were all old guys, but i love them. They are very sweet, especially the Filipino old guy. I danced with him a year ago, the first time i went. I can't believe he's still there. I'm not very good with names, so i have a system of calling them by their physical features. That's not very nice of me. I think i'm going to try to find out his name next time. When you salsa, you don't have to worry about motives. You just dance. If you get a good leader, you'll dance well. The majority of the people i met are really friendly and really pleasant overall. The first guy i danced with was really patient. I think that if you fake it well, it doesn't matter if you don't know a single thing. I got some really good tips that i try to keep in mind when i'm salsa-ing. The first, is to always keep moving. There are a lot of different styles, but most of them are very similar. Back and forth, keep the pace and listen to the rhythm. The second, is to press your palm into your partners palm so that you can feel the next move. It's easier to anticipate what your partner is planning that way.
I know, my mirror is disgusting. I need to clean it but i'm just so lazy. I didn't wear a dressy salsa thing. It kinda makes me look boxy. Unfortunately, i didn't care. I didn't wear those shoes at the club. I ended up switching with my sister because she brought dance shoes. She's so prepared. hmmmm...That picture is very deceiving, my legs aren't that thin.

My eyebrows look nice. I went through an experimental phase for a long time, until i found the best shape for my face. It's all trial and error when it comes to beauty. I had it wide spaced and then my family said, "oh no, what did you do!" so i quickly grew them out. And then i they were too short (no tail-end), so i grew them out. Now, i can confidently or rather, semi-confidently say that i can groom your eyebrows. But that in itself is a risk. I'm only semi-good in a lot of things. That makes me want to hone my skills and be spectacular in one thing. I'm sort of doing that right now at college. I don't know what i'm talking about...probably a lot of bologna. Isn't it funny that bologna is pronounces ba-lone-ee? Oh language, how silly.

I'm going home today! I'm very excited. I have a mental list of what i'm going to buy, so i hope i succeed. Yesterday I was talking to my really close friend about family problems and confidence. Another one of my many girl-talks. My life is complicated enough but when compared to others, it's really not all that bad. I think religion is one of the biggest influences in my life. My views about religion has solidified. I understand myself and my beliefs. I modified some stiff, catholic beliefs to accommodate my inner-growth (the ego!). I don't know if that is allowed but i'm a lot happier this year. I can say that i was lost for awhile and i didn't know who i was. That is slowly changing. I'm trying to pray and make it a regularity in my routine. I just hope that my (sort of) distorted view won't hurt me in the long run. I guess i'm a cafeteria catholic. That's not always so bad.


This is a stretch from what i was previously talking about. I was reading about this before i had my blog, so i couldn't talk about it. I recently remembered it because i bookmarked it. I think its amazing. Adriana Bertini is trying to raise AIDs/HIV awareness by creating masterpieces. What are the materials? CONDOMS! The outfits are all made of condoms. Isn't that amazing? The dress is also enviornmentally friendly because the condoms are rejected condoms. Meaning, used. [read more here] What's her message? "Condoms must be basic like a pair of jeans and so necessary like a great love." If i didn't know, i would think the outfits were couture. But then again my knowledge of the runway is pretty limited.

Cute picture of the day.
Friendship may stand a chance.
