Changes and more changes

WHOOOOP! Back with updates aside from my dance life teehee. Look at the amount of selfies I took for the past month! ;o There were way more but then my face would flood up the entire site heh. Actually if you've been following me on Instagram (@arielllo) or friends with me on Facebook then then you'd have seen most of the pictures already heh!

So I've been going out quite a bit,

Been chilling a lot with him and Teresa especially. Late night conversations, confessions, drinks and stuff. Had way more alcohol consumption in this one month than in my entire life LOL. Better start to work out if not my beer belly omg.. I don't really want to imagine that. heh..

Diploma life..

Left: Copywriting magazine assignment. Right: E.P booklet assignment! Took me an all nighter of 6 hours to complete my EP booklet, sketches, mini booklet, CD production and photoshopping shit! But, it was so worth it! I adore my booklet. Okay lah, maybe I could have done way better if I didn't procrastinate but can't blame me! I have practices for showcases until super late hehe. Did a booklet about Kesh and a presentation on the due date. Lecturer said she has no complaints at all about my design and booklet except that there's one page where the image is blur BOOO. But yay! Really do not want to repeat this subject cause it's super time consuming and...it costs a LOT.

 Outings...

Actually got my ass up at 7am for the 8am gym sesh with these two.

Vanity updates!

Sups! I've been away from blogger for so long! Have been neglecting it due to hectic schedules and cause of Dayre! >:(  It's just too convenient cause I can just upload photos at once and stuff like that (p.s./ it's way more efficient than the blogger app for iPhones too) Do follow me on Dayre btw teehee. I'll post short updates on daily happenings that don't appear here lolol. Username : ariello

ANYWAYS, (selfie from Ground Zero party, Swinburne above)

Vanity Crew did a showcase at the Ground Zero party due to Halloween at Swinburne probably a month ago? idk I can't remember LOL. Some shots of us on stage. Have no complaints except that the lighting crew was horrible during our performanance! :( We could barely see the stage! I think i slapped one of my crew members without even realizing it lolol. oops. sorry? :P

Posting this picture cause Beverly looks so happy here! :D

Other pictures by various photographers that night. Feasible Dance Studio was also invited to do showcases along with Stepholic, so thumbs up for supporting the dance scene in Kuching wheee! :D Our outfits kinda coordinated by coincidence that day too heh.

NEXT,

we had a themed showcase, which means... DRESS UP! YES. I LIKE, NO I LOVE. teehee. Hashtag, i can be girly too lolol! Burlesque costume of that night. we performed the Burlesque routine twice. First ar Grand Magherita and the next day at Four Points. Yes, look at me sparkle like a disco ball! ^__^v 

and of course pretty photos are a must as well as,..one occasional ugly one LOL. (our tradition of making ugly poses and faces heh :P) BUT, you cannot deny we look glamorous that night. Thank God too, since i pulled an all nighter sewing sequins onto my costume! asdfghjkl.. t(-.-t) Do you know how torturous that was with a 9am class waiting for me? meh...zz. Nvm, at least I am all glittery and oh lala!

Realised that this is also by far the most revealing costume I've dared to wear on stage despite me not having a Victoria Secret Angel's body but what the hell. But Kixx and the others said that the costume really gave us extra points on the stage so yayyy? :D Oh and we collaborated with Jessika from Soul Dance for this event. It was a pleasure *British accent*

We also did a Broadway number for the event at Four Points aside from the Burlesque one. The costume was fine except I keep feleing my butt overly exposed due to the "swimsuit high waist pants." It was themed, "Carnival Night 2013", which explains the need to dress up I guess? LOOK AT OUR HEELS. Nice to see, pretty to look at at, once danced in, considered torture LOL. My heel strap came of halfway through this routine and hell, did i clench my feet so the shoe wouldn't fly off and hit someone square in the face. HAHAH, that would be priceless tho! :P

Third routine of the night was Street Jazz. We did a totally different concept this time instead of our usual hard-hitting routines. We used songs like, Cater to You (Destiny's Child), Call You Out (??) and Good luck (Jaxx Basement). We wanted a mature, young woman feel, so we bought XL white shirts, black translucent stockings and wore heels to bring out the sexy girlfriend in boyfriend's tee vibe. Mad love for this and definitely want to dance it again! :D

 Found some photos and thought of something hilarious. Check this out..(scroll down)

How we think we look like...

 How we actually look like.. LOLOL HAHAH :D :P

and more pictures...before people start commenting on my thighs, remember! BEYONCE' HAS NO THIGH GAP TOO AND SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. YES. That is my reassurance of my insecurity problems LOL! Plus, woman with an ass is better than no ass? I guess? :P 

Too many photos to post up so I'll just choose my favourite among all. Teehee. :D (p.s/ you can watch our videos of the Burlesque and Street Jazz showcases, HERE!!)

NEXT,

Did a showcase for Puma's Grand opening not too long ago and we only put the routine together a day before. (dui bu qu, too last minute dy but still fine i guess? :p) We had to dance a energetic dance so we mixed kpop and hiphop together.. Actually only one kpop song lahh.. We had to wear the Puma apparels for the dance and sadly we weren't sponsored any items at all.(booo, why like this?) and it was funny! We looked like we were gonna do Zumba or Aerobics on stage instead HAHAHA. :'D

Later that night,

Headed over to Soul Dance studio to do final rehearsal and then shoot for our Christmas surprise video (which has been revealed!) RINGA-RINGA-LING, RINGA-RINGA-LINGGGG! AHAHA, we did a dance cover of Taeyang's Ringa Linga with Soul Dance and Heart to Heart all the wya from Sri Aman. But before shooting and whie waiting for others we start to camwhore again lolol. Look at my eyes! Effect of wide lens teehee and also kiasu eyeliner and falsies la :P

Vanity Crew. Super love this compilation of these 4 shots together :D

Screenshots of our parts in the video.

Thank you Soul Dance for arranging this and dealing with the technical difficulties and other shit. Also sorry the recording was rushed cause of me. Didn't expect it to take that long so I had made other plans before hand. oops. so sorry D: BUT .. it still came out nice teehee. :D

 AND..

Celebrated Vanity Crew's belated second anniversary since Borneo Dance Competition in 2011. I still remember the date well leh! 17 November marks each year as a new one for us. Celebrated with the girls with Baskin Robbin's ice cream cake and a late night movie. Battle of the Year was not bad for me. It focuses more on bboy-ing though, so don't expect to see girl's style and stuff like in the Step Up series. I wished D-trix was given more parts in the movie tho. Total waste :(
So since we were so hyped up by it we all did a solo freeze each at the banner of the movie in front of the Gsc counter omg the lookers by were starring hard LOL. Most common and only one I can do is...the baby freeze AHAH. Damn, i suck. lol. BUT STILL LOOK MAMA, NO HEAD LEANING ON FLOOR heh. Does this mean I have strong upper body strength? :P

I am salivating to this picture right now. Craving for some... Now that i think back, why did i willingly give up my Oreo LOL. I want one now! ahh, the pig in me..Not hungry.. but still want to eat. Sighhhhhhhhh. However, I do seriously need to keep fit because..*drum rolls, scroll down*

OMFGG. WE GOT INTO THE FINALS. Seriously, I didn't expect to get in cause of the lack of votes we were getting, plus my friends like not friends like that dont wanna help me vote daily hmmmph jk i still love you guys and sometimes we forget to vote for ourselves also lolol. So we didn't prepare at all and BAM. I'm a little worried now cause the finals will be in KL on the 11th of Jan 2014 which leaves us, less than two weeks to prepare *hyperventilates cause of anxiety!*. Time to overnight at the studio cause the practices are gonna be so hardcore! Heh, anyways, WISH US LUCK! :D and of course, thank you for those who voted for us! Meanwhile, enjoy our Ringa Linga dance cover below! Merry Christmas everybody! :D

Plot Twist

Sup! It's been a hectic week. I've been out almost.. well, all the time. My assignments are piling up as well but as you can see I rather blog a meaningless post(which nobody would probably read) than do my 2k word essay, presentation or my assignments, oops? Nevermind that, this is my safe haven.. for now, at least.

 Received particularly good news just last night which got me even more sleep deprived than before. If you've always been reading my blog, you'd known by now that my crew lost in the Clash of the Kingz competition held last month or so. Right? BUT, we got news that we were invited to compete in the grand finals in KL next month! That's like a week away and we are super excited! Apparently my leader had a talk with the judges and organizers of the event and we found out the critics and etc but that doesn't matter cause we were invited!! WHAT IS THIS MIRACULOUS PLOT TWIST?! Omg I feel so blessed now. Intensive training is going down and then we fly, fly, fly to KL!! *happy dance* But since I've been pigging out ridiculously also somewhat in my own way mourning over my loss lolol, just kidding , my so-called abs and v-line has vanished. I IZ DEPRESSED. Sigh, time to get em back since I have motivation now, uuuuushhhh!!  *mentally does every single workout available*

That aside, went out with ex-classmates from highschool since Vienny would be leaving for her studies, noooooo! :(  Somehow, we all look friggin' exhausted. LOOK AT THEM EYEBAGS! My schedule is so packed it's not funny anymore. I had to literally dig out time to hang out and I rushed out after my assignment meeting with coursemates so I think I look dead? 

Watched Monster's University with them that night. It is a pre-sequel of Monsters Inc. if you guys don't know. I won't spoil the movie here for those who haven't watched it. BUT ITS RIDICULOUSLY CUTE. I like weird things so oh well. Teehee! Le crew is annoyed how i never wait for them to watch these "cartoon" movies with them, oops? At least I watch it a SECOND time with you guys, right? Sigh, I'm too nice! ^_^v

Personal rating: 8/10 -- maybe cause for me it's kinda predictable? idk, what do you think?

selca of the day.

22nd June 2013 : Star Spectacular Hoe Down

Every year the Karar Line Dancers will organize this huge charity to raise funds for donations and this year is no different? The feeling however is different for me, maybe cause my seating arrangement is wayyyyyy different than the previous 3-4 years? Went to the morning workshop and literally sped my ass off on the road. The workshop starts at 9am. I woke up at 8.45am. Go figure. teehee. :P Spent the afternoon napping at Babo's place as well as getting ready. I didn't have a bite to eat the whole day so when i reached the venue I was starved!  

My ootd or ootn that night. The theme was "Stars." Umm, this is the closest it can get to a starry night for me! I blame my overly-montone-ish wardrobe. To prove myself following the theme, my wolf top was actually surrounded by galaxy and small stars so I'm all good.

I can't remember the last time I took an actual picture with my mum, so here you go! And yes, I'm still shorter than her. Forever shorter than her -.- I mean, I'm in heels and I'm only slightly taller than her.. :/

The night ended at almost midnight. It went successfully i guess? Even the finale dance I did with the kids went well and well, you happy, I happy lahhhhhhh :)

23rd of June 2013, 12am. : HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY, RYAN! xx

So i last minutely found out it was gonna be Ryan's birthday 15 minutes before midnight, oops? Me and a few others rushed to get a surprise done for him. Since it's Kuching and not many places open after midnight except for late night wet markets, we went to McD and did the surprise there instead! His brownie birthday cake would have to do teehee. But, thank you for always being such a good friend to talk to, God bless <3 p="">

A shot with Joseph. Just realised how small my eyes look in this shot...... blehhh.

_________________________________________________________________________

So, i was randomly scrolling my abandoned facebook timeline and i saw this. The amount of feelings all pent up that came rushing up to the surface was unbelievable. I feel so much for the girl it's ridiculous. I can totally relate to this situation and this guy is one heartless, son of a bitch. Do you think that we want to be so imperfect for you? It's so damn difficult to actually explain to someone who will never understand unless you;ve been through it in some similar way or whatever. You think that she herself, would wanna go around with this scars and shit-like complexion? And to make things worse, when she thought you'd be her rock to lean on, you fcking turned on her and brought her down to her lowest and for her to bask in the thought that maybe she is not worth anything at all. but guess what? You're the one who should be contemplating on your own self worth cause i see nothing in you but a egoistic bastard. *deep breath* okay, maybe I'm getting carried away here? but yeah.. insecurity and vulnerability are not the best feelings in the world you know..

but just so you know,

 Too many things have been happening lately, all way too fast. I'm fine. Really, I am. xx
