Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) New Video OFFICIAL VIDEO 2008

I am not good at keeping up with songs and stuff in general, but I really like this music video. The reason for that is endless, but I love how simple it is, the style of the dance, and also the song itself.
Enjoy!

Take back the night @ Hollins University

Tonight, an awareness event called "Take Back The Night" was held at Hollins University. It's an event to bring awareness to sexual abuse and assault, and to break the silence in order to bring an end to sexual abuse and assault. To go from "talking" about these issues to actually "doing something" about them. We had a slow walk, a guest speaker, and then some people from the crowd went up to share their or their friends' stories. I participated in the slow walk. For those who might not know what a slow walk is, it's where a group of people walk very slowly in silence to gather people and bring awareness to whatever we are doing the slow walk for. Hollins Repertory Dance Company (a student-run dance organization at Hollins) is knows for the slow walks we do for different events and causes.

"Take Back The Night" is a nation-wide event, and it has been held since 1976. I wasn't able to stay to the end tonight, but I really appreciated what I saw and heard there, and I do hope from my heart that, someday, we will see an end to sexual abuse and assault.

Stay warm.

Revo-龍-tioN PV / WADAIKO龍鼓会

This is a music video of a group called Ryukokai. My best friend and them introduced me to this group when we went to see them perform the summer I went home. They 2 or 3 years older than me. They are trying to take the traditional Japanese insturments to the next level. Traditional insturments have so much history behind it, and I believe that you have to be very careful when you explore with the playing style of those insturments. Personally, I think they are doing it very well, and I LOVE the sounds this group creates!!

last day of fall break

So, at a blink of an eye, fall break passed, and, here I am, wondering why I am so tired. I'm not complaining, though. I enjoyed my fall break. I got to hang out with people while I also had some time to myself, which doesn't happen much for me these days. There were couple days where I was hanging out late at night with my friends, and, the next thing I know, it's the next morning, and I realized I fell a sleep in their rooms... Fun stuff. I will go in detail about the things I did with the pictures another day.

It suddenly got really really cold today here in Roanoke, VA. I don't have any long pants because I have to do my laundry bad... I have been walking around with a blanket around my waste because it is way too cold to be walking around in shorts right now. lol

Stay warm.

Things people do to their babies these days...

Wow...

last day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, y'all!! It's Wednesday at 3pm. That means, Except of having to have to work this evening, I technically have started my fall break already. Over all, I think I can say, "Good Job" and give myself a pat on the back. I made a list of things I want to get done during fall break. It's a lot, but I am going to go one at a time, and get as much stuff don as possible, so that I can start the next 6 weeks of school on a good note. :o)

I hope you all are doing well. Take care, and have a good rest of the week.

p.s. Dear TJ and Gail, I hope you enjoy your trip to the state park.

hugs,

Naomi

One more day...

Hello, all the lovely people in this world!

Though I know there are things which others will call "more important than blogging" that I could be doing right now, I cannot help myself thinking about it, so I am doing it anyways. It has been a crazy week as usual...actually crazier, I think. Last night, I ended up sleeping in Symphoni's room because I didn't even have the energy left in me to walk back to my room after doing our homework. There is one more day left till Fall Break, and, BELIEVE ME, I am soooo looking forward to it. :o)

I hope this post finds many people well. Stay warm, and take care.

hugs...

One more week...

Hi, everyone. How is the weather over there? It has been cold this passed week, but it warmed up a little bit today. Though I am quite exhausted, I am very very excited because a week later from now, I will be in my soft, comfy bed...:o) Fall break starts next Thursday. I am looking forward to it, to say the least. lol

I got to talk with my best friend in Japan on the phone the other day, using a calling card. It has been over an year since we have gotten in contact with each other, and it was really really nice. I hate how it made me miss Japan even more, and made me homesick a little...lol Oh, well. There's nothing wrong with shedding some tears, right?

Pieces of my life at Hollins Dance

At one of our rehearsals. No matter how tired we are, there is something very addicting and motivating about late-night rehearsals. lol

Being an RA, Symphoni has a double room all to herself. Since we often find the need to have late-nights study jams, we get ourselves situated on her big bed, and try to get as much work done as possible until we fall a sleep... It's nice to have someone to work with.

This is a picture from our performance last semester. I really like this picture for some reason, and I thought I would share this with y'all.

Stay warm...

i thought i would share

It's 2am right now, and I am hungry, tired, have homework left... Not very good combination. lol No matter how bad the combinations are, the next day comes, so I guess I just have to suck it up and keep going.

Stay warm.

another week...

This week has been a rough week for Symphoni and I...
We had 3 exams, a project due, and over 30 pages of Spanish workbook due... I actually fell a sleep in the cafeteria, waiting for Symphoni to finish her breakfast. lol The weekend is so close... We keep telling ourselves...

Stay warm, everyone. :o)

One Semester of Spanish Love Song (Subtitled / Subtitulado)

Our Spanish teacher showed this to us in our 1st Spanish class. At the end of this semester, I will be able to sing this and understand it without looking at the translation. lol I watch this around 3am when I am way too exhausted to do anything becaus it makes me laugh... Laugh A LOT...lol
