The Sunshine Blog Award!

No surprise there! It must come with being a beauty blogger, wherein I need to have way more than I need! I don't necessarily wear full or heavy makeup everyday, but I sure like having a lot in my stash.

My sister encouraged me to take a few classes in our local community while waiting for my ATI to come (which never did, by the way). And I'm so glad that I did! I was able to take awesome psychology, digital art, and acting classes! I feel so blessed to be able to learn more than I already have and being in a place where that is actually possible. I think that I would never have had this opportunity if I were working already and would have died for boredom if I haven't returned to learning in a classroom. Plus, I was able to pursue my interests, build up my own dance community, enhance my directing skills in dance, and meet a lot of people.

 

Well, I seems to be so ever since I opened the Hartnell College Dance Club in my local community college! I'm a bit of a perfectionist (even my acting teacher/club advisor) said so in the past year. I like to make sure that everything goes well and nothing comes out less than awesome! I guess it's also because I've always been the type to lead and I have clear visions for the club (unlike other clubs who doesn't have any & hate on our club for doing well, ahem!) and will do what it takes to get it done. I made new friends through the club, whom I've trained and whipped into dancing shape (we're actually competing now!), and have grown very fond of them. I may not be as verbal or express my love for them (because I am traumatized by the number of people I've let in my life & went on to stab my back), but I make sure they get the best from the club and focus on dancing while handle the rest (i.e. problems including where to practice, music player, other club that hate us & more!).


Because I got recommended by my digital arts professor to land that job! I got paid $200 for for half a day! Sweet isn't it?! I'm currently waiting to become a USRN, but I don't mind the freelance work that falls under my interests. I guess this shows that I like making videos. It may be for my blog/reviews/vlogs which my beekyoote channel is for. Or my dancing/taekwondo channel named kyoote. As much as I like being on cam, I love working off cam, too! I'm currently trying to enhance my skills and acquire pro equipment, so I can produce better and, more specifically, dance videos!
I'm not your typical "I danced since I was a kid... but only by myself or in my room" type of person (there are people who actually brag about that... yep, seriously).

I've actually performed in shows in my grade school and high school days (plays and dance performances both in the Philippines & USA). When I was in college, I alternated being a choreographer/trainer for a block of nursing students for Bicol University while being a prominent member of the dance teams in my own school. Then, I became the official hip-hop leader in-charge for my later university years. I continued to choreograph for my sister's debut as Club Lollipop... and found myself assigned as the choreographer, trainer, and a dancer/actor for the a play in my local community college last year. Then got into the Choreology dance  crew as a team member and performed, competed, and won 2nd place for the World of Dance Bay Area 2013. Performed in LA for Anime Expo 2013. Due to popular demand opened the dance club in school which required training (whipping!), choreographing, and directing non-dancers into performers. Was on and off with Choreo Supremacy, the dance crew that came from Choreology. And now, with the members I whipped into shape, formed Club Lollipop 2.0 which received a slot to perform in Anime Expo this year against 60+ other entries and a good shot of being one of the eight dance entries proceeding to San Francisco to compete in the finals of JPOP SUMMIT "Odottemita" Dance Contest against 30+ competitors.

Looking back, dance has always been my passion. Sure, Taekwondo is my love, too. I mean, I love the hardcore workouts, the trophies, the ability to beat someone up legally, and just being in the dojang. But, I guess I would give up Taekwondo just to dance and be able to perform on stage!

2. What/who inspires you to blog?
 A big portion of the time, I simply wish to share my thoughts. Plus, this de-stresses me! I just need to find the time for it so I can blog more!

3. What are your hobbies?
 Blogging, for sure! But I also love to read (blogs, books, forums, magazines & etc.), watch anime & dramas, choreographing and I like making & editing videos, too!

4. What makes you really happy?
 Dancing and Taekwondo makes me happy! But I also feel a great surge of happiness when pursuing my passion brings great opportunities.

5. What is your current relationship status?
 Whether or not I am in a relationship, I don't feel comfortable announcing it. If I have a someone special.. or not... maybe... yes.. no? HAHA! :P

6. Describe your ambition.
I want to become either a known dancer or an idol (like AKB48)! Who knows?! Hehe. But I really want to be able to support myself and keep pursuing my passion in the process.

7. Everyone has a special gift. What's yours?
I was told that I have a scary talent for persuasion or manipulation. Like in dance club, I can make everyone do crazy moves they would normally never think of doing! ...It definitely comes in handy when convincing manly men to dance sexily! TEEHEE!

8. Give a tip to other bloggers.
Be yourself.

9. Describe your style.
 I can be more of the sporty side in normal days. But for special events, I go for the more sexy-ish type? Haha.

10. How old are you? Describe how it's like to be your age.
 I'm 23. I'm not sure, but I feel young. And I do feel like there are still so much I can accomplish and I don't intend to get stuck anywhere I don't like.

11. How do you see yourself 5 years from now?

Thanks for reading!
