Swimming On Our Toes

The pool in Northcrest where we go swimming.

   On Sunday, we went swimming. My sis, Ashley, and I were racing from one end of the pool to another and dancing. Yes, dancing, in the pool. We could actually go en pointe in the water. Of course, without shoes, but we'd let the water 'support' us as we went up on our bare toes. LOL, we could split underwater :P

  We go swimming in Northcrest subdivision in Cabantian, somewhere North of Davao. That's also where my Mom takes pictures for her blog, Trying Hard To Be Still.

  Our feet kind of looked like this underwater. :D Fun. I wonder when our pointe classes will start?

Bananas After Ballet Class

O_O This just makes my mouth WATER!!!
If only the ice cream were chocolate :P

    It was Saturday and my sister and I went to ballet... After class my teacher was calling someone to get a banana because one of my classmates hadn't eaten any breakfast yet. "Very powerful, bananas." she said.  When I got home I ate one, remembering what she said. Yeah, their high in Potassium, I think, or was that something else... :P Oh well, I'll try to eat one everyday. I remember before, when my mom suffered from this Vertigo thingy, the doctor told her to eat bananas. :D

  Hahaha, just now I thought of Banana Split, mmm, Yum! I bet I'm making you hungry :P speaking of which, I've been feeling very hungry this weekend. I guess its because of my semi vegetarian diet. You see, for the past two weeks, the lunch I've been taking to school is just salad. Sometimes a little fish or chicken in it, so I have had virtually NO meat since my birthday.

  Last night, Dad bought chicken barbecue and, man, I ate like a pig!

My "Essay" on Ballet

  I was going to make a To Do list yesterday when I came across a page on my notebook. It said Essay on Ballet and I quickly remembered that before going to my first ballet class, Mom made me wright an essay for my reason.

  This is what I wrote:

"I want to do Ballet because it looks interesting. I'd like to try it and it also looks fun. I like to dance too. The reason I chose ballet is because I like seeing people dance it. I know some things aren't as easy as they look but I will exert myself at this one :D. With the aim of going to a recital."

  I was around 11 at that time, I think, and the very next day I called Locsin's and inquired about the classes. I was in Ballet level 2.

 

  Just a though: I wish there was a ballet/dance/arts museum here. What memorabilia would be displayed there?....

Bunheads in Davao Museum

  Today, my class went on a field trip to the Davao Museum. I noticed these mannequins and the way their hair was fixed reminded me so much of ballet buns :D Hehehe.... The "hair" is actually made of paper:

  Ballet everywhere... :P

  So obsessed!

  Plus; I just want to add that August is "Buan ng Wika" or "Language Month" here in the Philippines. Tomorrow is also our school's Filipino Festival. I'm excited. We are encouraged to go in costume and, until now, I was worrying about what to wear.... :D I'm keeping it simple. I don't expect to win best in costume, but I always find dressing up fun.

  

  How about a tutu for Halloween?
