If you seek ...

Amy is here. Why you have to seek her?

The lyrics of "If you seek Amy (Britney Spears)" were hard to catch all words for non-native like me. Anyhow, when my Prince taught dance steps to the song, I kinda understood almost automatically.

After watching so many videos on Youtubes, it seemed like almost every dance teacher choreographed quite complicated steps to this song. My Prince has compiled them beautifully.

It was too difficult for me especially on the first few days I took on, and so frustrating. As normally and surprisingly at the same time, my Prince has got me going and finally I made it.

No wonder you have always given me such a bliss.

I don't have to seek no more!

I'm a Slave for Dancing

In a surprize of Friday morning, a friend captured a VDO clip from the dance class and posted to Youtube. I didn't realize the clip shown only 3 people, Nong Boat, Tiw, and I (black sweat shirt on the left). I had to hold my breath while watching VDO the first time. Thank God I didn't make wrong steps as the dance was so detailed and fast.

Thanks to commercial digital cameras and mobile phones that now can take motion pictures with acceptable quality. Now we have freedom to record our precious moments as we go. I had a chance to download "shorthand" for jazz dance. There were lots and lots of symbols that some people used to write to help them memorize the steps. Now I think they don't use them anymore and VDO completely replaces the older ways.

It was always pleasant to watch Kru Boat's VDO. He was really breath-taking and I only zoomed at him as if he was the only one in the VDO. It was very sad that I didn't take weekly VDO earlier and I had so few of the older songs that I could not remember the steps anymore. Somehow I had to ask him to dance the older songs for VDO recording. Even though I can't dance to the steps, watching him dance was so much joy and took me away from the whole world.

It was Thursday class at Esplanade where my beautiful friend and I loved going there together to dance with Kru Boat. It was like he casted spells on us. When it was approaching the time, I could not bare sitting at my desk but grabing my car key. My exercise outfit was always ready even though I thought at the begining of the day that I would rest. I could suddenly change my mind at all time as if there was something calling me.

It took time to dance to the step and it took longer time to dance well to me. The improvement was clearly seen on arms and legs coordination which were so bad. I could understand what "two left feet" mean when I first started dancing a few years back. Before I removed my left feet and a tail, it took me 2 years and a half. There were so many things to learn. All credits to my dear Nong Boat (Kru Boat) that he always supported me and was so patient. The best thing, he always made me feel that I could go beyound the limit and keep going.

That was the reason why I loved you so dearly.

And the body swings ...

Dancing is definitely a special gift from God and I believe He loves watching us dancing. I got this video from one of my dance mates in Kru Boat's class. I'm very pleased when I watched the clip as she just zoomed in Kru Boat and she centered him in the scene almost all the time. That was exactly what I would do if I were there. I'm trying not to be too taking side but Kru Boat's dance was the best. His body was just made for dancing.

Now it was almost a year that I joined his dance class. I knew I improved some of my capabilities obviously for a person that can't even make it to the tune. Apart from dancing, I could remember directions. Knowing left from right was a big deal for a girl like me though! Also my ability to move faster has manifested and I was so pleased!

Thanks to Kru Boat, without him dancing would not be this exciting, splashing, ...euphoric!

Let it loose....that hypnotic body swing!!!

So Sweet!

Thai Song - So Sweet - Mai Sia Jai Tee Dai Ruk Thur
I don't regret loving you!

ฉันก็เหมือนๆคนทั่วไป รอคอยคนรักที่จริงใจ
I'm like other ordinary people ... waiting for someone with true love
ไม่ต้องการจะอยู่คนเดียว ไม่ต้องการโดดเดียวเดี่ยวดาย
I don't want to live alone ... I don't want to be lonely
มีหัวใจก็อยากจะใช้รักใครซักคน
I have a heart that wants to be in love with someone
ไม่อยากจะทนเหงาคนเดียวอีกต่อไป
I don't want to suffer being lonely anymore

แล้วก็ได้พบเจอกับเธอ เจอคนในฝันทั้งที่ลืมตา
Then I met you ... I found someone in my dream with my eyes open
เธอพาสิ่งดีๆ ที่ยังไม่มีใครให้กัน มาให้ฉันซะมากมาย
You have given me so many good things that no one has given me before for so much

* ใจที่เก็บไว้ ในที่สุดคงถึงวัน ได้ลองใช้รักใครซักที
My heart that has been kept for so long ... Now it's time to have my heart for someone finally
** จะมีแค่เธอคนเดียวจนถึงวันสุดท้าย
I will have only you until my last day
มีเธอคนนี้ตราบลมหายใจของฉันมันจะหยุด
I will have only you until my last breath
สมมติว่าในวันนึงเธอนั้นจะเปลี่ยนไป
Even if one day you would change
ยังไงชีวิตก็เคยได้ใช้ทั้งหัวใจเพื่อรักใครคนนึง
Once in my lifetime I have my whole heart to love someone

เพราะว่าไม่รู้วันต่อไป เลยทำวันนี้ให้ดีพอ
Because I don't know what tomorrow brings
I made today my best
พอเพียงในสิ่งที่คนๆ นึงนั้นควรจะให้กัน มันไม่มากมาย
Not so much but it's only good enough for a person to give
(*,**)

ซึ่งจะบอกและย้ำตรงนี้ ถึงมีอะไรเปลี่ยนไป
I will tell and repeat here ... even if there is a change
ฉันจะไม่เสียใจที่วันนี้...ได้รักเธอ
I will not regret loving you

จะมีแค่เธอคนเดียวคนนี้ได้ยินไหม
I will have only you ... hear me say
มีเธอเท่านั้นตราบลมหายใจของฉันนั้นจะหยุด
I will have only you until my last breath
สมมติว่าในวันนึงเราสองคนเปลี่ยนไป
Even if one day we both would change
ยังไงชีวิตก็เคยได้ใช้ทั้งหัวใจเพื่อรักใครคนนึง
Once in my lifetime I have my whole heart to love someone
ซึ่งฉันเป็นสุขใจ... ที่ได้รักเธอ
That I am blessed to love you

Sweetheart Abodaebe!

What a moment of joy!

Abodaebe was playing and I was totally in trance. Even though this song I practiced in the class before but I hardly remembered the steps. It rose up to the limit as I heard my Prince Kimji scream out loud as he saw me forget the steps with his eyes staring at my feet.

Cherry got confused but she claimed that it was her first time so she should not be blamed!

Anyway, we moved off to Siam Paragon club because only one class did not seem to be "enough" **again**. I didn't realize I got so high and smiled all the time as I drove pass the entrance and the girl who gave me the parking ticket smiled back at me. I seemed to smile to almost everyone and it was not really that I intended to smile at them. It was the high level of adrenaline!

"Tell me I abodaebe ... I abodaebe only YOU!"

My Prince Kimji sat on the floor with his feet wide apart as he watched his crews parted into two sections and danced to his commands.

What really happened I did not really sure as I also screamed "Abodaebe ...Abodaebe!!!!"

My eyes stared at a man danced next to Cherry because he had no place because of me! Ha Ha Ha! Not that I fancied him. Don't get me wrong and he was not my Prince Kimji.

You can't ABODAEBE man! You curly top! And don't step near my ABODAEBE!

Because of You

Looking at my talented Prince Kimji!
He is so cool and I can't stop dancing with him.

This is my first dance VDO with Prince Kimji and I was so excited. His choreography was stunning.

What can I say more?

Life's a Dance

It has been many months when I first found him dancing at the front of the dance class while I was standing still outside the studio.

Dancing has always been addictive to me and I had no idea of "being" in his dance class would be so much contagious. I had no idea either that "being" there once would take me away from everything else. I really mean "everything" as I had no eye for other dances when I was there. I still love Indian dancing though and I miss it so much more than any word could explain.

There and away!

I took my step in. He smiled and greeted. I had so much fun and the day seemed to short. There he went, my Prince Kimji, as he drove me high. I was loosing my breaths but I couldn't stop.

Life was a dance back again. Dreaming was again something fun because it was full of dancing with my favorite Prince Kimji. Waking up was much more fun when I could be there dancing with him.

Getting ready and put on my shoes!

Mughal E Azam - Mohe Panghat Pe

Even the movie is from 1994, the charming Indian dance has shown the uniqueness in presentation of body language. Facial expression especially eyes movements are extraordinary.

I miss Indian dancing so much. I love the colorful costumes and glittering jewelry. One more thing, very important though, you can wear as many pieces of jewelry as you like in Indian costumes. From bindi, lovely bangles and anklets, finger rings, toe rings -- so extravaganza!!!

Love it lots!
