That's how you pronounce it. Those are just many of Anatolie's um, musical / dance terms combined. If you're taking Anatolie's classes in PBT you'd understand this. If you're a ballerina or at least have some basic knowledge on ballet terms, I challenge you to make these out :


Catterpam
Blinchique - spell? pronounced as Blin-chi-kee
Double zhim
Tim ta ta tam
lalalamlalalalam
Raborse
Yam-ti-ta-tam y tam-pa-pa-pam
Shpagat


I could just go on forever, but from what I understand when he demonstrates it, Raborse is actually REVERSE, Shpagat is SPLIT and Catterpam is ENTRECHECAT. Well I think we owe that to his being Russian. He cant speak very fluent english but he can say "ok lang" and "maganda" and "dalawa" correctly. And when you talk to Anatolie for a long time, you start speaking english the way he does.

Sample.

Anatolie : Sydney, ha? Why you fightin' my ballerina? Making cry?

There are no typo errors in that sentence. Its actually kinda cute when you hear him say that, with all the animation included.

Hmm.. im bored. I'll just find something to do.

Back in Business.

Whew. I am back after an EXTREMELY long break from blogging. oh did I miss doing this?? Here's a very quick recap of the things I've been up to in the past few months. Starting with the most recent.

MARCH

24-25

PBT show. La Bayadere. Was part of the corps de ballet in the Waltz, the Scarf Dance, the Kingdom of the Shades, and the Candles Dance.

FEBRUARY

Every monday
Served as a pseudo-fitness instructor for Air 21 Philippines. It's a cargo delivery service, and if you're wondering why the hell I got linked there, here's the story. Teacher Rara contacted me asked me if I was game to teach simple warm-up exercises for a company. When I told her it was ok, she told me a certain Mark Zambrano (sounds familiar?yes, he is the sportscaster) will contact me in a while. And then there. One monday I just found myself out on the streets at 4.30 in the morning waiting for a jeep going to Katipunan so that he and I can meet and then go to Parañaque and "do my thing" in front of *gulp* the CEO, Admin, and other employees. Was I dang nervous. Anyway, it went alright, and he even told me that I was the best instructor they had by far. I must have done a good job compared to the previous instructors because I earned a ticket to the CEOs breakfast. To cap my first day there, Mark drove me to UP Manila for my class. We talked about a lot of things. Two talkative people in one car = loads of laughter. :D

JANUARY

Hmm, I dont remember.

DECEMBER

I dont remember as well. Haha Err, Christmas?

Argh! Anyway, I'll just post in the coming days the things that I CAN remember.


Listening to: Pump It of the Black Eyed Peas
Feeling: ecstatic

Whew. It has been a WHILE.

I am baaaaaack. Whee! After 2 months of abandoning this sitte I have finally found the time and mustered the energy (and the mood) to once again, type an entry.


Soooo..What has transpired in the past two months? Well ...

....June-July was basically consumed by my being a guest in PBT. I was part of the corps de ballet in the Swan Lake and err, I was shocked to find myself in all four acts. Haha. It was really a different experience.

I was put right smack in front because Ate Chesca (a company dancer) decided not to join the production and I was asked to fill up her spot. Whew. That was three weeks before the show. I didn't have the luxury of learning the dances step by step as the other dancers did. Thank God for my fellow dancers.

....Hmmm, what else? This semester I think I've had four if not five Art related field trips already. That's for my Humanities II class. The places we go to are actually very interesting. But it's also kind of expensive..We pay Php 550 for each out of town field trip we have.. And around Php 175- Php 350 for the plays we have to watch.

...I'm still with Miriam Ballet. I go there whenever I can.

...I still teach. I have around 6 students now in Shape and they're all very adorable.

...I want an I-Pod. Promise.

UPDAAAAAAAAAAATE!

Whew. It has been a LONG while. This is going to be a brief update of the events that transpired this summer.

May 13-School Room Recital

I swear my hands were cold when I was setting up the place. The program was surprisingly short, but it was ok nonetheless. Some of the kids were dumbstruck coz their parents were there. AAAArgh. Pls the venue was a classroom so teh kids really couldn't move that much. BUT! Afterwards..A great sigh of relief... The parents congratulated me, even the grandfather of my student who I was SO afraid of.


May 14 - Shape Recital

This was also fun, although my kids comitted a couple of booboos because they were so nervous, it was ok..Cute pa naman sila magkamali eh hehe. What else? There was a party afterwards, and I kept teasing Ate Kit saying that the party was not to celebrate the recital but to celebrate my birthday. Harhar.

May 15-Debut at my Aunt's house

I had my debut at my Aun't house. Wheee! FUN!! Joyce, Sam, Tania and Louie came over. Thanks dears WE GUYS HAD A BLAAAAAAST. Thanks for the gifts people Photos next time, di ko pa na-uplod eh. We talked, and ate, and talked, and ate, and talk.. Did I say we ate and talked? Hehehe. Ganun naman ang genuine friends eh. You don't have to do much to enjoy each other's company.

May 29 - Steps Recital

This was my boyriend's recital and I swear, HE WAS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. I almost cried. And when intermission came and he went down to the audience to jon us while watching the rest of the recital, I gave him an uber tight hug to let him feel how proud of him I was. He was superb.

Hmm, what else? Can't remember the others eh. Next time!

I just noticed, that in two weeks there's gonna be alot that's gonna happen to me. Check these out.

In two weeks...

...I will turn eighteen [May 14]. Yes people, it's my debut. Party theme is luau. Dad pag di ka pumunta patay ka sakin swear. Oh yeah, Dinner celeb din at Gerry' Grill.

...My summer classes in Shape will be finished. They will have a recital on May 15 at the Teatro Marikina, 6pm. You're all invited. Im gonna dance as well. Teachers are included in the program daw eh. Dancing side by side with Ate Kit! *wow*

...My summer classes in School Room will be done as well. Recital is on May 13, at the School Room in Ortigas. I'm so worried about their dances. They really don't remember it! Plus I have a student who keeps insisting she wants to be a crocodile instead of a fairy. And who the hell is Princess Analice/Analysse however you spell it? GRRRR!

...My Math 14 summer classes will be finished as well. Wheeeeeeee I took this up not because I failed, but because I need it to transfer to UP Diliman in a new course [BS Economics]. Wish me luck in transferring.

...I will finally be able to take class in PBT. Yahoo Ms. Liza!

...I will be able to resume my t-shirt, earring, and glam pants businesses. The t-shirts are the roundneck spandex types, sold at 90-95 each, the earrings are specialized and upon order, you can tell me any design and I'll make it for you special. Often times, my really special earrings are one of a kind, so it's pretty guaranteed that you're gonna be the only person who has that design. The glam pants are my newest creations, I design pants and use different materials to well, glam them a bit. [Kaya nga glam pants diba?] The client gives me a pair of pants, tells me what theme to design on it, and which materials she'd like me to use like pearls, laces, suede patches, fabric paint, gems, etc. If the client supplies both the pants and the materials, labor nalang ang bayad. I'll post some of the designs here next time

*For those ordering shirts, I can also personalize it with beads, patches, fabric paint, sequins, etc. if you like, but for an additional fee of course. I also glam-up shoes. Kaso rare yung nagpapagawa nun. Right now dalawa palang nagpagawa nun, hehe.

Post a comment or text for orders and inquiries.

Many many things to talk about.

It's been two weeks that I'm teaching and it's both fun and frustrating at the same time. There are times that my kids would just blurt out all of a sudden, "Teacher, I want to play the hippo dance" and then I'm like, HIPPO DANCE? What the hell is a HIPPO Dance? That's not the end of it. Other crazy dances are crocodile dance and sunbathing dance. I mean if you're sunbathing, HOW THE HELL WILL YOU DANCE?! Rawr.

So anyway, moving on to a different topic. I still haven't gone to PBT to take class because everything's just so hectic right now. First my sister was confined, then I teach, then that crappy summer late registration thingy. I mean, if I'm not used to the stress, I'd prolly be dead by now.

By the way, my beau is in Dagupan right now for a performance their company has there. Sorry dad, malayo na yun eh. Di na ako makanood. Steps show mo andun ako, promise!

Hmm, what else, we went to AVILON zoo last sunday! It was really enjoying and educational. I even got to stand falcons in my arms and make albino snakes for shawls. Pictures next time when I update this

Of TOKYO TOKYO meals and ICE MONSTERS.

One of the reasons why my beau and I prolly won't go out with other couples is because we fight too much. We fight over the littlest of things. Tardiness, when and where to eat, whether to shop or not, what to do in the mall, and the list just goes on.

But last friday, we both made sure nothing will ruin our anniversary, save for the Ice Monster incident Haha Dad alam mo na yun.

We met around 11:45am, in the mall, and then we were just wasting each other's time. We ate , shopped, played at Netopia, and gave each other gifts. I absolutely LOVE the silver earrings he gave me. They're so pretty!! Everytime I take a bath I take it off, I don't want to tarnish it or anything. My gift was a website, and a bag which we picked out together.

After shopping for a few hours, and with the whole day going perfect, it got really really hot and I told him I wanted Ice Monster. He said, "Wag na, ano ka ba." And then it started. I threw a pseudo tantrum coz I really did want Ice Monster. AND I WANT IT NOW. Then I told him,

Ches: "Bakit ba, e nagugutom na ako eh! Ayaw mo ko pakainin?"
Syd: "Eh hindi naman totoong pagkain yun eh!"
Ches: (were screaming by now) "Eh gusto ko nga ng malamig eh! Ang init init, 4.30 palang naman oh, merienda pa! Hmph (murmurs) bahala ka nga." (frowns)

We were walking over to Cyberzone at this time. Just as we were about to cross the street he says:

Syd: "O e bakit nakasimangot ka?"
Ches: (not looking at him) "Kasi gusto ko ng Ice Monster "
Syd: "Hindi nga totoong pagakin yun"
Ches: "Eh bakit ba? Eh di wag ka kumain."

I remained silent for next 5mins, not looking at him while inside the Cyberzone until we passed by a small ice cream stand there.

Syd: "Ayan o, bili ka na ng ice cream."
Ches: "Ayoko nga niyan sinabi nang Ice Monster ang gusto ko eh."
Syd: "Haaay..."

We paid my bill at the Globe business center. As we were walking out of Globe, he said,

Syd: "nakasimangot ka parin?"
Ches: (no response)
Syd: "Sige, (stroking my hair) kain na tayo ng early dinner tapos kain tayo Ice Monster."

And the stubborn little princess' eyes light up. "Okay. "

So there. Our anniversary went like that. He didn't go to work that day nga pala.

Love you dad. Alam kong babasahin mo to.

Dad, masarap pala ang lomi ng Tokyo Tokyo no? Nandidiri kasi ako dun dati.
