Can you believe this? August 31, 2006

Posted in: Hitorigoto             Author: Asuka

I just got asked by my current (new) instructor to join her advance student troupe! She also wants me in her advance class and to perform in November! I’m so dumbfounded since I didn’t expect this, but cross my fingers that it will!! It’s every dancer’s dream!!!

Sometimes, things that you thought could not be more different end up pointing in the same direction. Lately, I’ve been feeling this phenomena all around myself… Maybe it’s a sign?!#!?

Man’s Best Friend August 4, 2006

Posted in: Body & Soul             Author: Asuka

In Japan, you don’t really come across many people who own pets - at least I haven’t. It’s probably due to the fact that it’s difficult to own pets in general. Many apartments do not permit them and their busy schedule doesn’t allow to take care of them. But maybe the real reason has more to do with the psyche of the people and how they view having pets? In either case, having my first dog has changed my perspective on it. I now understand why dogs are man’s best friend!

Like the rest of the East Coast, Miami hasn’t had much of sunshine for the past 2 weeks either. But finally, we have some beautiful sun today! Yeah!!! Time to jump in the pool!

The headstand has been one of my goals since I started yoga. And today, I finally did it! YEAH!! It came to me so easily it was so surreal, but I guess I should pat my back for the hard work I’ve been putting into, right?

Relaxing the Mind

Posted in: Body & Soul             Author: Asuka

Yoga PoseIn our society today, we are so conditioned to “get somewhere” that we often get disconnected with our true self. Sometimes, the dearest things are the simple things that surround us; the insignificant things that you miss when you’re too busy or trying so hard. So in order to get reconnected, try calming your mind first. You’ll probably be surprised by its vastness and power!

My Sigg Bottle June 7, 2006

I found this item via lime.com when I was looking for a healthy water bottle to use. I hated my plastic one because of the nasty taste, not to mention leek concerns, and came across Sigg. Not only is it cute, but water tastes great even after being in the Florida sunshine for hours!

Sometimes it’s good to have some time apart from your significant other. It gives you time to miss them and appreciate them and an extra zing to the relationship!!
