I always wanted to be on a video like this. I'm trying my best to choreograph some songs and put it into video. But I think I still don't have the guts to put a solo on video.

Leggo Skechers! End the day with Ignite! 7-14-11

As I start my first full school year at DLSC, I'm looking forward to the one of the events Lucid Dance Troupe will enter. And that is... Skechers Street Dance Battle 7! With that Lucid is already making its preparations. Last Thursday, we had our auditions to be part of the competing team of Lucid!

Judges were the past performers from the last Skechers Lucid entered. As for us we have to audition with these, Power by Kanye West (Choreographed by Benedict), our own 16+ counts choreography of Where Dem Girls At by David Guetta and a random freestyle.

I think I did great. But I'm not expecting, just keeping my hopes high! They'll post the results soon!

I hope I can represent! ;)

The auditions started 6pm and ended 7pm.

After that, the college department celebrated the 9 year foundation day of DLSC with IGNITE

Bonfire, story telling about what was DSLC before it was established, performances and the sky lantern ceremony (too bad I left already :(( )

Japan's EARless Rabbit! Because of radiation??? Mutation??? :O

From: Muessig (2011) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/09/earless-rabbit-japan_n_873552.html#s295521&title=Elephant_Votes_in

It's no Godzilla, but an earless rabbit allegedly born near Japan's severely-damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant has become the latest poster child for the side-effects of radiation exposure...

Though the longterm environmental effects remain unclear, there's no denying that the radiation emitting from Fukushima Dai-ichi, about 140 miles northeast of Tokyo, poses a major health risk.

However it's hard to say whether this earless bunny's strange appearance can be blamed on radiation, according to F. Ward Whicker, professor emeritus at Colorado State University's Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences.

"Yes, radiation can cause mutations that can be occasionally expressed as obvious birth defects, such as shown in the video(above)," Whicker wrote in an e-mail. "However, to say this is the result of contamination from the Fukushima accident is a stretch, because natural radiation, as well as many other chemical substances in the environment and other factors, can also be mutagenic."...

But nuclear historian Richard Rhodes says a link between the earless rabbit and radiation "is highly unlikely."

The evidence, Rhodes says, can be found in research conducted in the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

"In the years after World War II, there was a major American commission that looked into the health ramifications of the atomic bombings, and it found no genetic changes in the populations of Hiroshima or Nagasaki," said Rhodes, who has written extensively on the bombings. "There were no birth defects attributed to the bombing, and no genetic consequences."

I'm sorry for citing almost all of the article. We all know what happened to Fukushima Dai-chi, the radiation leak that happened to the nuclear power plant. And we can't take the idea of this not having an effect to the location where the rabbit was discovered. But also the situation from the World War II, it also makes sense. While I was searching and discovered this, I freaked out! Funny, but what if they studied this carefully and discover that it was the cause of the radiation nearby? Amusing yet scary.

Are you living a good life?

According to Wikipedia.com, good life is a term for the life that one would like to live, or for happiness.

Am I having a good life? I guess so, yes. I'm eating 3 times a day. I go to a good school. We have a house to live in. My family is still complete. But somehow I feel that something is missing. I'm having a hard time appreciating because of the situation we're facing now.

Plato's criticism of art.

For Plato, the artist was a dull fellow, simply holding a mirror to nature, imitating it without purpose or thought. (2000) http://andrasta.com/Plato.html

No, I don't agree with Plato. Art is something we do to express ourselves and if it is something that is without a purpose it's like expressing yourself to something empty. I don't see it that way. What we do is something we represent ourselves. And what Plato is doing represents himself. Maybe what he is doing isn't how art should be. I think that art before isn't appreciated much that's why he thought of that. But as we look now to the present time, you can't just say those. Like in photography one of the most taken shoots are nature. And if photography is art, then taking photos of nature is meaningless? No purpose? I believe that nature is art. We can see God's artistic personality through nature. So I strongly disagree with Plato.

Video of the Week: Live Free

Enjoy every moment of your life.

Live Free by Andrew Baterina (@andrewbaterina)

I really like how the video was made. After a long time of not uploading from the last video. The wait was worth it! It's really hard to make a video like this! Quality video like this! I liked the concept and the editing! Made me really motivated to do some filming or something similar to this.

I'm a fan of SoReal Cru since their season of ABDC 2. At that time we're still establishing as a crew and had SoReal as one of our inspiration. So that's where we discovered the dancers behind the crew and eventually was inspired by one of them Andrew Baterina! Wooohhh! And they're back! I hope they'll upload their video soon! I miss SoReal Cru!

They're my ABDC Season 2 Champs!

So to all SoReal fans out there. The REAL is BACK!

Enjoy the video!
