Hey folks! I’m still around! Don’t go away!
I apologize for not posting for…..over a month?! Such a shame, huh? My website must have gotten soooooo boring, I can understand if my readers (who were few to begin with) decided to abandon me.
So, what have I done during my blog absence? Nothing really boring, mind you. [...]

It’s January: Gray Prevails, Dancing Endures
Posted in Random Blabbering Random Visuals (RBRV), dance, seasons on Friday, January 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I dread it when time change begins in Fall. It’s the official countdown to Seasonal Affected Disorder for me.
SAD is not so bad during the months of October, November and December as there are quite big distractions, e.g., son’s birthday, Halloween, even the annoying Thanksgiving and peaking at hubby’s birthday, Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
January…..I dread [...]

All the years growing up Catholic, one characteristic that has stayed with me is GUILT. I’m such an expert on GUILT, Of all the things I’m good at, this is it!
The last entry of my post was quite a depressive entry. And I felt bad and guilty for writing it.
But to get out of the dumps, [...]

Besides yarn, what do you think makes me more happy to have?

Well……
THIS IS ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!
To have, AT LAST!, real FLAMENCO SHOES. And perfect fit to boot.
For so long, I have been relying on these.
See the difference in the quality and look between these and the Flamenco shoes?
These basic ballroom shoes were able to get me into all [...]
A Visit and A County Fair
Posted in dance, family, music, pets & animals on Friday, August 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last week Thursday, my mom (Lola) and my youngest sister (YS) came up for a visit. They arrived mid-afternoon on a very hot day, closed to a 3-digit degrees. Upon their arrival, the three of us stopped by a favorite restaurant and had a quick lunch. Then home I drove them.
After a brief tour of the house and [...]

…then it means it’s time to go to the Lane County Fair! In 2.5 weeks!
What’s there to do? Plenty, of course. Eating junk food, carnival rides, checking out exhibits; then there’s watching my favorite “All-Alaskan Racing Pigs”. Last year, I got to hug one of those little porkers.
But the main reason to go to the fair is [...]
Martita, Flamenco Teacher
Posted in dance, friends, music, people, special occasions on Thursday, July 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Martita is a favorite teacher of mine. Her personality, her demeanor, her embodiment of Flamenco dance and music exudes in her whole being; one cannot help but love her.
Although I have met her in the early 2000’s and took lessons on and off for months; there were pressing family and personal issues that needed priority more than dancing. And so I [...]

A friend from San Diego sent me this videoclip. I thought I would share it with you. She described it as gimmicky but definitely silly. I felt being envious of the young man.
Oh, to be young and carefree. How I wish I had thought of travelling as a young person.
Now if only the [...]
