from youTube
So sometimes, i just think that there really isn't much i want to do on the web anymore. I use to be so enthralled by it, loved the ease of retrieving almost any information i want, and loved to spend my time reading up on almost anything! It was such a learning avenue. And i enjoyed it.Lately though, I don't feel this way anymore. I have the links to the News, current affairs, nature etc etc and I don't feel like reading them anymore. It feels as if my brain is stagnating. And all this information suddenly seems threatening, scary.
Then, i discovered YouTube. Ok, i've known of its existence for quite some time but just never really use it. I've seen some videos from there but thats it. Just a few days ago, i suddenly decided to search "ballet" at YouTube, and I pretty much got hooked. I mean to see dances, ballet, its actually VERY inspiring. I wished that i had those super strong legs to do those stuff en pointe, i wished that I had those inhuman bodies which has such high extensions. Those more almost 180deg arabasque lines, etc etc. And I know that that is never going to be me. dance is indeed something you start young, at least if you want to do it as a career. For me, its just some thing i do for leisure, for health, and something i enjoy. Its the difficulties that makes it appealing actually. That I have to try so hard, and push myself so hard to strengthen, lengthen, and feel the lines, is what makes ballet so interesting to me. Watching classical stuff is nice, but i very much prefer choreography with a modern touch to it. something like this which i have watched a couple of times already.
She is like 3 years younger than me but just look at her! I think she is quite pretty too. My teacher says that dancing makes you pretty, makes you look youthful too. I wonder how that can be true for me considering how often my face naturally contorts when i have to do those very painful stretching exercises!
This is another solid performance. And with sting on the guitar!
