my very first booboo!

Yesterday we had a ballet class which started early and ended late...
the usual bar works, warm ups, plie's, demi-plie's, tondu's, grand battement (bat-ma), develope's (de-ve-lo-pay), and all those excruciating stretchings, arabesque here, arabesque there, you might be wondering what this words are? well, they are ballet terms, french words of steps we execute every time we dance....

Anyway, we decided to use our pointshoes, we were doing our bourre's when i felt a tingling and numb sensation between my right big toe and the toe next to it,it felt kinda sticky, i felt my tights sticking to my toe which doesn't usually happen,but it didn't bother me i thought maybe it was just friction of something so i continued my bourre's, then my right shoe snapped... but i kept dancing i thought i could handle a broken toeshoe while dancing, besides we were almost done with the class... after class i took it off, and there it was! MY VERY FIRST BOOBOO!

This made me realize, i've been dancing for four years using this pair of toeshoes and it was only at this point -this booboo- that i felt like a BALLERINA! woppeeee! i only had blisters before but never a booboo! it actually bled! my tights had blood stains!

My next goal? A dead toenail! hahah in order to have it, i have to work hard and use my toeshoes often during ballet classes!hahahah

heartbreaks

Heartbreak is a very strange distress. It is exquisitely painful, and yet we cannot find an injury on our body. It is like one big emotional pain but it also seems to spark off hundreds of other emotions. We hate the feeling of heartbreak, and yet we find ourselves compelled to go over and over memories, ideas or fantasies which make the feeling worse. What is going on?



when we end a relationship with the person our hold dear to your heart,a range of different strategies of coping and denying breaks loose. We feel loss and pain. Our normal ways of thinking about the world are disrupted. people with broken hearts encounter mood swings, feelings change from one point to another, the next thing you know you can relate to every song you hear . We long for our ex-lover, then we are filled with anger and denial. One minute we are desperate to see them, the next we can't bear to have anyone mention their name.



Heartbreak blooms by the end of a relationship. it can also be caused by fantasizing on a relationship you can or will never have . It can even happen slowly when we realize that we are in a relationship from which all the love has gone. However it happens, after the shock, it takes some time for reality to sink in. Then we experience a welter of feelings. We can be angry, sad, devastated, despairing, distraught, desperate, remorseful, regretful, ashamed, embarrassed. The emotional bombardment is overwhelming.



In the long term, we have a natural way of dealing with these feelings. We have an emotional mechanism that allows us to recover from losses and from pain. If we didn't have it, the whole world would be in mourning forever! Bereavement, parting and suffering are unavoidable parts of our life experience. The natural way we recover is by grieving.

goodbyes sucks!

i have had a lot of goodbyes in my life
that it's hard for me to keep track
some of them i had my regrets on...
some, made me happy i did say those words...
and some, i just had to say goodbye...
whatever those reasons be
i hope in time you'll realize
things happen for a reason
whatever those reasons be
God knows

so for now
i just laugh at those goodbyes
cry over it
utter cruel words because of it
curse the people who say it
and forgive those who regret saying it...

alang magawa! hehehe
