WHAT happened at the VMA's?

I know this doesn't have anything to do with my bellydance life or anything, but I just can't hold it! I was just watching the repetition of the 2009 VMA's and it was just the 1st award, the best female video, and I was REALLY shocked that Taylor Swift won, I mean COME ON!!!!!!! You have Beyonce, Pink and Lady GaGa (who I personally dislike big time, but I know she is good) and how this girl, who's song is barely a hit, is barely good, and the video is AWFUL a total cliché, WON I was just mad and stunned, but then comes my man West, and totally went crazy, claiming Beyonce's video was the best... hahaah I was speechless, and so the whole crowd at the Radio Hall, I was thankful that someone has the balls to go out and speak the truth... Because this girl Swift I mean, her song just sucks... I am not saying SHE is not good, maybe someday she'll improve herself but for the moment, that video I don't even know how it got nominated, sometimes I think this awards are getting worse each time, I mean you just have 1 good nominated per category if you are lucky! Thanks Kanye for speaking your mind and I think the mind of so many others around (like me!).

A training week

Well, it is Saturday now, and a whole week is passed. I spent it at neighbor city, Tijuana.
I met my new workmates, and I have to say, I am really impressed about their welcome. They were extremely sweet, nice, kind, patient, understanding, and everything you can imagine. I am so amazed, because it is the 1st time I am working on such a work enviroment. I was used to the hostile, "I so busy to attend you" kind of work places, and I realized al that is fake, this people I had just met, had this tons of work and still this nice attitude towards it and towards me, the newbie. So all of you people who like to play it interesting and NEVER have the time to smile while working or to help someone in need, come on! Now I know is bull!#% (pardon me).
So I am very pleased and thankful to these people in Kent H. Landsberg Tijuana! The nicest workmates i've ever had.
The training was kind of overwhelming though! This new software I have never used! And lots of codes to learn! But I am happy with what my job inquires me to do! Lots of personal relationships needed, that is what I like! So it is all good! Time will give me the confidence to use this program!
I missed so much dancing thoug! Awhole 5 days with no dancing! Sometimes I just had to use my zils at the hotel to feel a little relief. I'm teaching Saturdays so my students don't lose that much!
After all I feel very fulfilled and happy, I have 2 jobs now, as a dance instructor and as engineer, and I love this stage of my life!

Link to a Note of my Experience with FCBD

This is a note I wrote on Facebook in August 13th, right after my training with Carolena Nericcio. I want to post it even though is past, because it was one of the greatest experience I've ever had, she is an icon, an idol to me, someone that I really admires, and I'm so happy I had the opportuniy to learn from her, and to meet her.

Note of my Dance Experience

New

Well, here I am, after a few years of knowing about blogs, I decided to create my own. It is easier for me to have a kind of "diary" online, than to actually write one. I spend a lot of time here in the computer, I work 100% time online, and almost everything bellydance (classes, workshops, advertisements, etc) I work it online too. So here I am, trying to have something to remember me my experiences, good ones and bad ones, that I have to go through in my kind of life. Being an industrial engineer in my community, EASY, blend it with the bellydance world I summerge myself into, NO THAT EASY.

Bellydance is barely starting to be known in my town, and tribal fusion or ATS, my focus, is, well, let's say it is starting to be. I am the first person in town to be certified in ATS, which means I have no ATS partner, of course there is no tribe at all; and the second in the whole state, so imagine my tribal universe! Pretty small huh.

That is why I'm starting to open my own path. I'm teaching bellydance, to begginers, dancers who I pretend to tribal train when the time is right.

As I said I am an industrial engineer, and I just found a new job. The plant I was working before, went to a terrible crisis, and shut down. So in june I lost my job. But happily I've found one now, and there is where the struggle begins.

First I need to go to Tijuana (1.5 hrs. away from mexicali) for the introduction training, for 2 weeks. So I had to cancel my bellydance class, and I had to re scheduled it for saturdays. And secondly, my shift would be from 7:30 to 5:30, not that bad, until you know that my bellydance class starts at 6! Luckily my job place is really near where I teach. But my bellydance classes are 6-8 and 8 to 10 pm! So it means I'll be going out of my home around 7 am, and coming back until 10:30 pm! And then teach on saturdays!

It sounds overwhelming, but after all, I'm soo happy! That is exactly how I like my days! Very thight!

I think for now that is all, I'll post my first day at Tijuana and first day at new job...
