Paradiso @ Shek-O

October 12 -- i received a phone call from abi after work, telling me to meet her and that we're going to shek-o where chi and deb are waiting for us. and since it's a friday night, i went without hesitation. it's located way east of hong kong island, opposite side from where i live.

we took the mtr to shau kei wan where we had to wait for a mini bus that would take us to shek-o beach. 30 minutes later, still no bus came so we decided to take a cab. even though we told the driver to take us to shek-o, he kept asking us where. and since i saw the name "big wave beach" at the terminal, i told the driver to take us there, thinking it's one and the same with shek-o beach. another 30 minutes in the cab and we finally got to big wave beach only to find out it's not where we should be. so now we're lost and hungry. since the cab already left, we had to wait for bus no. 9 and fortunately, we didn't have to wait long.

we're finally at shek-o beach. we met up with chi and deb, bought some dinner and brought it back to jasmine's place. at this point i was confused at what our business there was. i thought chi and deb went swimming and we were there to join them. but it turned out that we were there to visit jasmine at her new place (provided by her company) and also for the opening of the bar where she works:

CLUB PARADISO -- it's located at the beachside of shek-o beach. a big wooden door will welcome you to a bar with a "summer night" vibe. the floor, which used to be tiles, were covered up with sand. all over the place were shell curtains and seats made from bamboo and rattan wood. the dim lighting mostly came from candles. and since it's the opening, the staff welcomes you with complimentary glasses of sangria followed by slices of pizza.

as you go deeper into the place, by the bar, they have a projector set up that illuminates ocean waves onto the ceiling giving a more aquatic atmosphere. and the bar itself is made of aquarium so you'll see fishes underneath the bar top as you get your drinks. they serve the drinks on plastic glasses and for a good reason -- if real glasses break, the pieces would be hard to find on the sand. as for the music, they played songs like sublime's "santeria" and bob marley's "no woman, no cry", you get the idea. later into the night, they change it into upbeat sounds, something more danceable.

for a beach bitch like me, the place was great and it sorta reminded me of boracay. if it wasn't so far from where i live, i would go there every weekend.

out of control.

it's been more than a week since i last posted. i've been busy going out lately. i wouldn't even be home tonight if i had some cash to spare. but i have to save some money because i'm going home for a couple of days this month.

so, why am i always out? it's not because i despise staying at home. and it's not because i'm using it as an excuse to hide from my problem (i've been over that weeks ago). honestly, i don't really know the answer.

i know i can always refuse invitations from my friends especially during weekdays when i have to wake up early and go to work the next day. but i simply give in to their invitation. i know i can always go home early and sober but instead, i choose to stay out late drinking. i can always go home and sleep on my own bed but instead, i choose to sleep on the sofa at someone else's place.

this is me being free.

freedom -- something most young people yearn for. something most people think is the answer to their problems. something i once thought would make me happy.

now, i'm free to do whatever i want. no one even questions my actions. there's no one who tells me to go home early. no one even looks for me when i'm gone. there's no one who checks if i got home safely. there's no one who cares.

now i realize that i don't want to be free anymore. and now i realize that it's not so bad to have a boyfriend, a friend or even a family member to have the power to control you.

i wanna dance again.

i was bored at work again so i was browsing websites when i remembered about the uaap games. a bit later, i decided to check up on the cheerdancing competition, so i went to youtube to check the performance of this year's winning school, UP. and then i watched UST, my alma mater. watching these performances gave me goosebumps and sent shivers down my spine. that's when i realized how much i missed dancing.

i started dancing when i was 6. my parents enrolled me and my sister for ballet lessons. i can still remember my dad taking us to our ballet classes after school. it only lasted for less than a year though, because our teacher was migrating to the US. our parents didn't enroll us to any other ballet school since they wanted us to focus on our studies. during my elementary and high school years, the only dancing i did was for the annual field demonstrations where we performed more of tribal dances. it wasn't until i got into college that i really put some time and effort into dancing and performing.

during my college days, i joined various organizations that were inclined to the performing arts. i'm not much into acting, i think i've only acted in 2 or 3 plays. but i loved dancing on the stage, in front of an audience. i even joined our college cheerdancing team. and now i'm missing it all. i miss putting on make-ups and costumes for performances. i miss the daily rehearsals even though it caused so much pain in my thighs and legs (it was only for a few days anyway, i become numb after doing all the stretching). i miss learning new steps and routines for different songs. i even miss wearing my jazz pants, i can't remember the last time i wore them.

there are a lot of things i miss about performing but i don't think there will be a time for me to do it all again. i'm no longer as flexible as i was before (i can't even do splits anymore). and i know i wasn't a very good dancer before but i can learn pretty quick. and i would have been a better dancer now if only i pursued it.

i was bored and couldn't think of anything to post about

You Communicate Like a Woman

You empathize, talk things out, and express your emotions freely.
You're a good listener, and you're non-judgmental with your advice.
Communication is how you connect with people.
You're always up for a long talk, no matter how difficult the subject matter is.

Do You Communicate Like a Man or a Woman?
