GO THE DISTANCE

i know every mile will be worth my while...

a friend who yoda-cizes every sentence offered me this simple line of wisdom:

Even Gods were mortal once ... besides, the dancing Force is strong in you they sense, thus the Council they seek you to join.

i was confiding in a non-salsa him about my apprehension.

and he put it into perspective for me, just like how mark put business news into perspective for me.

CEOs are mere mortals. they are no different from you as a human.

great dancers are mere mortals too. yes, bow in reverence of their skill, but there is no need to fear them as humans.

i'm on my way to clearing the hurdle of such ridiculous fear.

and these people might make it easier for me to get over it.

god-like issues aside, here's the photoblog on the madness that was monday night!

the skies were extremely kind to clear up the evening for us, and clement kindly undertook his photog role to capture these special moments for us...

and it begin with this one picture...


the sandwich laydees

ling and i had met up in the late afternoon to grab ingredients for our sandwiches of tuna mayo, egg mayo and ham and cheese.

seems that our dish was way too popular and the first one to go!

of course, charlie simply HAD to join in the exotic fun for the evening...


ling, clem and me

the whole shindig gathered like a class outing on a saturday night, especially when the whole lot of us moved to one side to view the performances.

check out the pretty maidens...


dainty daisies in a row

aren't these ladies lovely? =)

of course, this, being a salsa party, couldn't have gone on without some butt-moving...


cecilia and eddie

check out that frame!

we also had a consolidated birthday treat for our three august babies...


albert, cherie and philbie

yes, they all salsa. =) which reminds me...we forgot the birthday dances!!!

now it being exotic night, we had a surprise item from THE MEN...


boon on pole

argh...my eyes! my eyes!!!

i was yanked into the madness...


boon trying to seduce me

and so was evelyn...


eddie trying to seduce evelyn

check out the slight flicker of apprehension in her eyes. hehe. majorly good actress she is.

they were trying to strip us...


HELP!!!

but we didn't let'em.

and it all ended with us girls fully clothed, and the men in their...um...thangs.


the end

while the guys were trying to give us girls a run for our feminine money, we showed them some too...


you go girl!

to the people who thought yuli wasn't IT...BLEAH.

she's so hot, you oughta be pouring ice down your pants!

and we all still ended fully clothed. well, almost all of us. =P


OUCH!

darn the jagged flooring.

anyways, somewhere in the middle of all this madness, philbie managed to sneak in a stranglehold on me...in full view of the parental unit.


double HELP!!!

and so we were...

HAPPY.
