Don't be fooled, nope, they are not drag queens. But the all-male ballet company 

Les Ballets du Trockadero

that features male ballerinas, yes that's right, in tights and tutus.

It might seem weird, well it is weird but surprisingly they twist the classics into comedy, drawing laughs from the crowd. But as a girl who has dance more than half of my life, I know how hard is it to pull off those stunts. To be able to stand 'en pointe', in those damn hard toe shoes. Imagine the blisters and black nails that ballerinas suffer, that I too have suffer, just to appear on stage as light as feather and soft as water, while inside the hearts hoping the blisters and black nails don't suddenly bring pain to the feet. 

Therefore, I had great respect to these male ballerinas who work hard everyday to just put on a show for people to laugh at. :) To the wonderful dancers of 'Men In Tutus', I wish you all the best in the future and to be able to dance no matter your age. Lastly, I just want to say, 'You are all beautiful!'

Happy weekends with good food

Just shut the h*** up!

Had dinner at a restaurant with a live band. It was a terrible experience. The lead girl started with a famous song that is known by the people of different ages, and she was off on the first note, then she tried to twist the notes but ended up making it sounding even more out of tune. Then she continued with happy birthday, with her sounding like a cat in heat. Nexy she continued on with a love song, that totally didn't suit her voice and would sound better if sung by the man playing the guitar as the song was meant for a man not woman. Then I had enough and finished off dinner and paid before she can sing anymore. What a ruined dinner.

The internet is for porn...WHATTTT????

Well, not that I purposefully search for porn on the internet. There's this song from 'Avenue Q', the musical that goes: "The internet is for porn, the internet is for porn, why you think the net was born? Porn, porn, porn." 

Well, the musical reasoned that the internet was born to distribute porn, but I highly doubt that. But, it is still true that the internet is used as a tool to store and transfer data. However when one says about the abuse of the internet, one always equate it with porn. How did that happen? For internet abuse can also be said to be the criminal exploitation of the internet, distributing viruses and malware, cyber-bullying, and etc. etc.

For now, I am still dwelling on this question. So do you guys agree that the net was born for porn?

The Kick Off...

So, this is it. Our class blog. I hope everyone can contribute their writings as often as possible and try not to be too offensive in your writings. If you really want to write offensive things, at least put on a warning and write it abstractly, I'm sure most of us will understand it. 

And for today, I think I will share a quote by Shel Silverstien. It goes like this, “How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.” I hope everyone in our class will always love and cherish this bond that is present in our class. Never forget that there is always a reason for the big guy up there to give us a chance to know each other in this short life time of ours.

P.S. Good night and Sweet dreams :)
