QUIET ??? NOT QUITE !!!

yesterday (4/19) - a beauty seminar was held by In Beauty Spa in the studio where i teach; i ran a line dance demo with several students, got good response, welcome to the new students joining my classes

today (monday) - my precious sister arrived from maryland for 3 weeks

in the last 2 weeks, a few people told me that he/she's reading my blog; heehee, i got readers, yes, you are one of them, can't believe some of my friends are following my blog, very happy, coz. you share my feelings; one of my students said he senses my happiness, yes, i am. i was a bit upset 2 months ago because of the BMF, if you read my post of march 14 & 18 then you know, then it was gone, now i'm happy again

things are going smoothly, i think i'm in the right track, just need to be patient and keep working hard and believe the outcome will be fruitful !!!

thanks again to YOU - my personal friends, or students, or line dance friends; without your support, i would have given up long ago. i love you all

3. picked up mom from North York, drove to Scarborough for doctor appointment;
4. drove mom back home;
5. went to the studio in markham for winnie's lesson, stopped by to buy sandwich & drink
6. after the lesson, i talked with my dance friend for 30 mins., coz. that was early to pick up kids from school; i didn't realize i turned off the phone for the lesson and school & my mom left me numerous messages that stefi felt really bad and was resting in the school office;
7. arrived school at 3:40 p.m., picked up kids;
8. went home, stefi vomitted again;
9. took stefi to see doctor, of course with Jon Jon too, doctor said she has the 'stomach flu';

the above, might not be that special or too much to you or me; the max, one saturday in last summer, i had made 21 trips for kids’ activities, drove around for my mom, my teaching & line dance party.

i keep encouraging myself, if i want to dance, i have to work hard and do things fast, and dance is my motivation to do so ......

choreographies ;P

hi pals, keeping quiet for awhile, being a good girl to study the dances i learnt, went to 2 parties, glad that i got to dance; taught J Ho, breakin' dishes, let it go, unchain my heart, chiki chiki; and my students love them; things are going smoothly .....

i choreographed 2 dances when i went for the trip in mexico (yes, made in mexico), one was circus, the other one uploaded in youtube on April 1 (happy april fool) but private shared, showed to a few line dancers overseas, my students danced in the class already, oh well, don't know, may or may not post out coz. its a song under WMG; that's why i have to do something in editing ..... when i have time .....

just found another beautiful song, WOW, so beautiful, love it love it, stay tuned .....

UPDATES ;-)

hi there, thanks for visiting again, would like to update a bit of my flat life ...LOL

quoted the 'bad mouth fly - BMF' : 'i'm inadequate in the advanced class'. i went to my instructor's party last nite, glad to find that i'm still adequate in those 'advanced' dances; felt so good for dancing so much especially one of my favorites – pump it, just love it very much .....

the BMF, dressed to kill as usual, shinny sequined tee & leon colored skin tights - SIGH, no comment ...... too bad we don't see my instructor's videos in youtube for now; that's alright, i still have some in my library, will post them to let you see the BMF dances like a piece of white toilet paper stick to the instructor's butt all the times - hey, don't say i'm mean, that's how she dances ..... whenever the camera is on to the instructor, she automatically moves from anywhere to behind her, so much like a piece of toilet paper .....

OK, back to normal, i've stopped this link in my youtube channel coz. i'm talking too much about the BMF, not professional enough to be open to public; this blog is like my diary, wish to share with someone who concerns about my happiness OR someone who concerns about me enough to wish me dead .....

realize the BMF does not only treat me badly but most of the people including her own students, WHAT ?? i'm not the only one ? noop, i'm not that special, not the only one; last nite she stuck out her pointed tongue again, heehee, not to me this time but she showed her dirty look to me whenever i sat down for those dances i didn't remember.

oh well, will stop here, don’t forget to check back again for more on the BMF's topic ….. LOL

TAKE A PAUSE !!!

My new dance 'CIRCUS' is uploaded in YouTube;
please watch it when you have a chance,
your viewing will be very much appreciated.
HAPPY DANCING !!!

If you know how I practice the dances I learn and choreograph my dances, you should appreciate of what I’m doing.

All my teaching classes are in morning time &

learning classes in day time.
I have 2 kids, aged 9 & 10, tony spends most of his time in his office, and I’m mostly the only one to take care of my kids. My work starts once I pick up the kids from school after 3:30 p.m., they have after school programes/activities and 3 programes on Saturdays. I can only steal the waiting time at their activities to study the dances I learn and do my choreography, you can imagine how much time I have (oooppps, I spend a lot of time in computer as well).

From choreographing and teaching and sitting in front of the computer, I really have not much time in practicing so I was a bit dumb in the recent ‘advance’ level dances. Then the 'bad mouth fly’ says I’m inadequate in the advance class, I had to watch her and pick up the steps while she was leading at the parties.

PLEASE BE REMINDED you lead in the parties because you are one of the instructors in the group, THAT’S YOUR DUTY, I pick up the steps from any one of the instructors and dance means I’m smart without practicing at home.

i didn't go to the 3/8 party, i'm too tired to seeing her.

200% SURE I LOVE DANCING but I have no time.
I may have to give up a bit in line dancing –
teach ? learn ? choreography ? BUT I LOVE THEM ALL,
it's alright, will take a pause, good that this week is March Break, kids stay home, no school, no activities, no driving,

i'll be a good girl, stay home and take a good rest
SIGH just give me a break ….... i'll be cool .....

GOT SICK

MAMAMIA, very sick - had migraine once i returned to toronto, it lasted for 2 days; then i caught a cold, running red nose, sore throat gets worse; couldn't do anything today, not even take the kids to 'kung fu'. tony is sick too, same symptoms, might be contagious; may be we should consider migrating to mexico, be a mexican ...... lol

i have to get well tomorrow, no matter what, will tape the dance to see the out come. stay tuned.

HOLA, I'M BACK

Hi dear, I’m back from an 8 days vacation in Cancun Mexico.

These few years, we had been to Dominican Republic twice, 1 time in Aruba and 6 or 7 times in Mexico - Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Cancun; wherever, same same, sun sun sun & pool pool pool; a bit of shopping, that's all. I tried to avoid sunshine all the times because of eczema; this time, I wanted to tan a bit so I did,
guess this time is the most tan I got so far.

No computer for almost the whole week; I was cheap, not sure if you would be cheap like me, US $15 for 1 hour and US$39 for 24 hours in one day; hey man, US$39 would be enough for a month internet charges in Canada, you think I’m dump; so I didn't buy the computer card from the hotel. tony used his blackberry and checked his emails via his office server, I tried his but didn’t work on my email accounts.

I choreographed 2 dances in the trip; no luck, once I came back and checked in the computer, one song under WMG, restricted in youTube.
the other one have been doing since Christmas, got no time to put the steps together, I’ve mentioned several time in the blog, which is a bit complicated but fun, lastly, I finished all the steps & connections for the whole dance - ABC Tag, ABC Tag, ACC; then found out it has been done by another 'well known' choreographer.

oh well, who cares, I dance my own dance.
Will tape a bit later when I have time to practice the steps.

Very busy today, got a car wash, grocery shopping, did all the laundries; time flies, whole day gone. Will be busy for classes tomorrow, hopefully, back to normal on Wednesday.

Thanks for reading my blog. Stay tuned.

BAD MOUTH FLY never stop X(

my dear reader/viewer, i didn't write about the 'BMF - bad mouth fly' for awhile; please don't think that i'm her only enemy, no, i'm not the only one, she hates people who are doing better than her and happier than her.

don't ever think she stops, no, she didn't, never; if you think i'm mean to write about her, yes, i admit BUT did you ever come across someone like that ? someone told me not to write her in my blog because everyone knows that she's crazy; EXCUE ME do you know what is a blog ? like an open diary, to write what you think, what you feel, you get to choose to show the diary to others or not. your reading is very much appreciated and, it's your choice.

one time in the party when I danced around, her head next close to me all a sudden and yielded at my ear ‘don’t follow this person, beats are TOO FAST’ I was so shocked and teared;

last week during the class, i gave my seat to a senior dance mate, i stepped back and touched the cover of the thermostat, that was really nothing, no hurt but i just said out 'ah', she was walking to my way and laughed out 'haha', what the heck;

i went to winnie's valentine's party last saturday, i was busy in the past weeks and didn't practice much, i sat down if i didn't know the dance steps very well, she came to me and showed the dirty look and kept shaking her head meant i don't know the dances;

i'd like to repeat again, most people have families; like me, i have to take care, entertain & feed my husband & 2 kids. not like you, you spend your time to remember the dance steps and think of how to illtreat others; you always remind people that you have a broken family, doesn't mean you can put your hate to others.

today in the class, we danced 'unchain my heart', she stuck out her 'long pointed tongue' and arrogant face to me while winnie wasn't around, aiya, BMF, how old are you ? you are mid 50's and also a grandma, how could you be so kiddish.

ADVICE TO YOU : dance is not only the steps/counts, also technique, beats, tempo, enjoy the music, emotions & feelings, you won't/can't dance pretty if you have so much anger inside; if you don't know how, come join my classes, i'll teach you how to HAPPY DANCING =D

SIGH, let me tell you, she couldn't hurt me anymore, but irritating, so annoying, like a big fly flying around you, you can't stop her even using the bug killer spray.......

SIGH, about time to go to sleep, i need a sweet dream.......
will be away for 10 days, the first regular class will be resumed on March 3, email me if you want to connect me, i'll check my emails from time to time.

YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND !!!

PHEW, finally ;-)

hello my dear, i finally uploaded all my videos in youtube. no more, no more high quality, checked around, friends, youtube, googles, found out since Feb. youtube changed their decode thingy; that's when my videos started having problems. OK, least i know, even though some people still able to upload HQ videos, but not me

anyway, the following are uploaded, you just need to click the dance name then you get to see direct from youtube :

Private Dancer - my new dance, beginners level, my girl, Stephanie, picked the song and likes it so i made a dance for her, easy steps, no stress, relaxed in hippie moves, enjoy !!

Nightime - demo of a new waltz choreographed by William Sevone, a beautiful song in waltz music.

Break The Ice Too (aka Candy from a Stranger) - I've revised my dance and changed the dance name, both songs are basically the same but with different segments. Try both, at the end, it’s your choice.

Move Shake And Drop - a second upload of my first choreography, a cute dance for Improver level, cool hip hop music too.

Honey Kisses - another demo of William Sevone's dance, a cute cha cha, i love it.

SO, that's all about it, will take a break this week.
Please check out my dances when you have a chance,
Your watching will be greatly appreciated.
HAPPY DANCING !!!

YOUTUBE IS KILLING ME !!!!!

I've recorded 5 videos in this month, none of them can be uploaded in HD (high definition) or HQ (high quality); have been trying and trying for almost 10 days, no luck ......

i finally gave up and posted out my revised dance -
'Break The Ice Too', intermediate/advance level line dance, i like the song, + i'm a brit's fan.

my new dance - Private Dancer, has been done for 10 days, couldn't post out based on the above reason; beginner level line dance, be honest, not that special but my girl, Stephanie, picked the song for me, she likes it SO i made it for her. i tried in my class, easy for beginners to pick up, some even dance out the relaxed and sexy ways,
i think 'hummmm, not bad tho'....

a demo of a new waltz, SIGH, same above reason; also, slow dance is harder than fast dance in demo, have to exaggerate the steps OR dance like walking......

Wish me luck, pals, will post up all the links together
IF AND WHEN they all uploaded, stay tuned.......

LOVE YA.....

HONEY KISSES - HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY !!!

Hi dear, you are invited to view my new video HONEY KISSES
on youtube.

This is such a little magic dance. When I received the script & music,

I thought, 'Oh, there are so many dances for this song already.'
Then I tried and bingo :
THE MORE YOU DO THIS DANCE, THE MORE YOU LIKE IT.
It has very smooth steps, especially the last few steps, you can add your own touch. The only drawback is that the song is a bit short so I have to repeat the music. I don’t want this dance to stop. It is highly recommended. TRY it and let me know what you think ....…
love ya…..

I’d like to dedicate this dance to :
My family;
My good friend - Mike & his wife;
My dance students and friends; &
All the supportive viewers on YouTube.
AND MY LITTLE SISTER - WILMAN !!!


HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
