Kayumanggi. Pasensiya na at ginawa kong sepia ang larawan, pero bagay naman sa tingin ko, lalo na at kayumanggi naman ang kulay ng balat ng mga mananayaw ng isang Filipino folk dance.
Bihira na tayo makakita ng nagsasayaw na ganito sa mga paaralan. Ang mga batang ito ay high school na nagperform ng Filipino folk dance sa field demo sa paaralan ng aking mga anak.
Ang aming anak na lalaki ay nagsayaw ng “Sayaw sa Bangko“.

Is it the end of blogging as Social Media and Microblogging sites gain momentous popularity?
Let me rephrase that, is blogging so 2006, said with emphasis on soooo and with rolling eyes? (this was the year I started blogging, LOL). Did people lose their passion for blogging?
Should I get my tumblr account then? I already have a Facebook page for my teacher blog and am thinking of doing another Facebook page for my other blogs. Nah, probably not yet but if blog traffic don’t improve, I might do that soon, if only it drives traffic to the blogs. Real traffic and not spam comments.
Years ago, when bloggers were still a source of honest-to-goodness-unbiased-and-not-given-freebies-and-tokens-to-create-buzz-marketing reviews of everything from restaurants, products, resorts, colon cleansing, spa, hotels and products and services, blogs were revered.
Now, people are more discerning and can sniff a real review from a not-so-real one. I’ve got people asking me about this because they’ve read the same contents in blog posts from one blog to another.
Netizens, especially the younger generation have too little attention span to read or write blogs so they love the 140 character status updates of Twitter -> to please follow me there: TeacherJulie (why, they even make this as a public announcement for friends to avoid spending on sms, 😀 ), the status update in Facebook and the reblogging and copy-pasting in Tumblr.
I’d stick to blogging. For now.
The hubby and I watched the movie “The Mechanic” last night at SM North EDSA.
The movie was good though the cinema experience was another story, hmph.
I am not really a fan of action movies because the sound of punches, kicks and head butts on another body makes me cringe. The Mechanic had all those and then some. To my surprise, though I tend to get hyped up with the action scenes, I enjoyed the movie.
Imagine glasses shattering, furniture being destroyed, cars blowing up, fire power on display, going down buildings while being shot at and a platoon of bodyguards for the mean man in the movie. I missed car chases showing gadgets like gps or best radar detector 2010 on the dashboard scenes though.  The movie has these and more.
I can’t really put a finger on how and why I did but thinking about it made me realize that:
Though the ending was something I anticipated, the way it was executed came as a surprise to me.
I Googled the movie and found out there was an earlier movie like this with Charles Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent. Hmmm… I hope we would be able to find this and watch it too 😀
