The Final Show of 2011. . . 2011 the year that we cheer.


"Such we are made of, such we be."
-          William Shakespeare


In a room during the auditions I was asked, “Why should I join cheerdance?” and I replied, “ I like it”, later on I learn to love it. I like it and I choose to be a part of it. Cheerdance is for the passionate, and such we are made of, we are made of passion and such we be, the manifestation of passion – cheerdance. The passion arouses us to become dreamers and dreamers had become the dancers striving for that dream. Yes, the dream was partly the glory, the trophy and the crowd’s applause, but what lies beneath is the dream to know ourselves. The identity that is longing to be found through the dance, and we dared to make it known in public, letting almost anybody in our way to know that we are searching for our identity, and that is to be free people. Free to enter the game, free to take everything whatever goes within our utmost capacities, free to show ourselves that we are free. Free people act through passions through which are the spontaneous aspects of man, they come unprecedented, unexpected, random, therefore free, and to act through it reflects its freedom to whatever we channel it into. Free because there is no just cause, not governed by reason for which it evaluates costs and benefits and therefore adheres the beneficiary. . . but no, reasonable as we are, we know the costs but free as we are we overcome it facing the adversities and turning them into springboards for the molding of ourselves – the character, discipline, skill, endurance, determination and many more. We are heroes, for we conquer odds, for we face them and turn them into the opportunity to mature ourselves again, the fire may burn us but eventually will harden the soft clay that we once were.




Lately, we gambled to endure the demands of B.R.I.G.H.T Academy. Yes, a week to practice with two routines with 3 – 4 minutes each. We started faulty and shaky, almost on the brink of uncertainty and cancellation, but it is the passion that ignites us to pursue that stage wherewith again . . . we show ourselves.  An amazing attendance . . . and an amazing addition. Our light has captured the eyes of others that they as free men join in our endeavor and behold our family is getting bigger, extended and all the more . . . stronger. Though we may part in certain events but we had extend a sacred bond to others . . . that indeed we are a group that we show ourselves -  freedom, and happily do they belong. The demand was high and we trembled knowing how limited we are but the hero in us emerged from the trial and here we are now basking the glory of our sweat, entertained the crowd but ultimately the hero in us made us to transcend obstacles, therefore transcending limits. We came, we danced and we conquered, setting high hopes for us to have the long arduous high way to be there. A high demand that stretched us, made us grow. We are capturing the seemingly impossible and lofty demand that made us strive more by breaking our spirits and sprouting anew a spirit more spirited through which we know of through our smiles and the crowd knew through our smiles. Aim high, strive harder. Perfection is a lofty quest; others had deemed it to be negative and decadent and far too dreaming with the stars because those who say so are incapable even at being even an inch away from perfection’s fingertips, but we who want to be perfect, we strive, killed our bodies in order to be approximately there, or even at most only an inch away from her fingertips. Follow the dream and let the magic conspires through our effort and make it into reality.



Dream on, and follow the ideal CAS CHEERDANCE TEAM and may the light illuminate more . . . .and soon we will be dancing with the stars among the heavens, forever enduring and will be always passionate, till the end of time. Time will be smiling at us, knowing that underneath her eternal wings there were happy and free people of Cheerdance. Let space and time collapse, let the world end, the universe erase in existence, but we shall forever remain dancing together, smiling at each other, a happy memory in the history of time eternity and maybe yet dancing in front of the Grand Ultimate Being. Smile cheerdance family. I love you all.

- happy holidays and happy new year. 2011 is the year. . . that we cheer. CHEERS!

Fin?

  Last 2012, there were hearts on fire that both had their first shared flame in an unlikely place. I was thirsty for love coming from being dormant while she was searching for a redemption from a series of broken hearts. Both struggled to find their place. Both trying to live their lives free from the hideous chains of a dark home. I must admit that I fell for her beauty and add to that, her care. As we both clasped our hands, it was a committed long shot to have the perfect rest for our hearts. It was a bit strange to have an affair under the noses of all that is forbidden both profession and a line of faith. Nothing was wrong as long both were in the ecstasy of love – no malice, no foul play, no trespassing of wills. That moment was a perfect episode in a romantic film – one where young love sprang amidst treacherous circumstances. We lived through the happiness of newfound belongingness and the battle of keeping that alive. 4 years before the wedlock were filled with ups an...

November in My Heart

I never thought I got to see you up close as you walked out of the airport’s terminal exit. I never thought that I got to hold your hand last Friday, neither could I believe that we hugged and kissed as we went to our friend’s car. Your voice never felt so real, and never felt so up close for a very long time. I could not believe the ride to the hotel, hearing you laugh, lending me your handkerchief as I was still sulking in disbelief. Your hands felt so real while you were pressing them hard as I was still emotional. It felt like bliss when you ate your first chicken joy meal in 7 months while getting shocked seeing the cake with a small bundle of roses. You told me that you felt like a woman, and that statement rang in my head because I successfully made you feel like one. And I took a photo of you with your advanced birthday presents. Just 6 days ago, we made love after a long 7 dry month period. Your hugs and kisses were not any more fantasies, but realities. I could not believe ...

Third Wedding Anniversary: A Reflection

It has been three years and I have never regretted nor doubted the fact of my marriage to her. The decision was borne out of choice and borne out of love and if it was not, I could have moved on and changed my direction when our relationship was challenged and cut off during those years. Yet, I chose to stay not because of conscience nor was I forced to but because I truly love her. Stern as I am, I rarely give my heart to people. I can relate and talk with almost anybody, but most of the times they are simply mechanical as if I was condemned to interact given the situation that I am in. However, I am the kind of person who carefully selects who to be intimate with. I can be there for anybody, but I chose not to because I can only be with someone who I know is worth it. My wife is worth it. We had so much conflict before, especially when she was still in the process of overcoming a problematic home environment, role confusion and deep sense of self-pity coming from self-doubt. Ha...
