Why are you?

Batiste. French. Like a kiss.
Take the moment to spin off to a new galaxy, to feel at home. The power of your mind emanates like slivers of fiber floating listlessly. Or like hair, underwater. No one should fault you for gathering everything back, and spinning a new web. I can't believe they said what they say, but let's say that it's been said. Let's travel and be yellow.

And then there are some people who revel in themselves. She likes complimenting herself and excusing herself at the same time. She laps up compliments like a thirsty dog, yet excuses herself in doing so, for it is nothing at all.
Nothing wrong with that. It's confusing, and tiring at the same time. Did you know it takes a small foot to mirror that?

And then there is someone else. No one can stop you from being happy. Stop killing yourself over happiness that you feel is undeserved. It's like sugar. Don't eat too much. But you can't feel guilty with one spoon.

And then there is queen bee. Do you feel threatened? Is there really any need to feel that way? Do you miss the handheld console, being pushed into responsibility and finding that leadership fits with minor adjustments? You were thanked. Start a new book.

Wednesdays

Are so boring! There's no training. I can't believe I'm at this point in the capoeira life that I'm breathing into a blog just to say that there's no training on Wednesdays and I can't wait for tomorrow night when there is. Argh.

Mais Cor

have i earned it.

Tipong if you can't handle the pressure you can leave nyahaha.
The more realistic outlook is actually you're going to the Batizado not to prove anything. You're there to learn, to experience. After all that's what you're paying for, right?
I'm pushing myself in all the wrong directions. I realized that if I chill enjoy and focus on actually learning something, I might even be able to apply it. I'm at the mindset that... di lalayo ang capoeira sa akin.
And I think belt or no belt.. it's just THERE.
It's set in na di sha aalis. It's the attitude, the outlook in life, the philosophy you're living, the learning and the comings and goings.
Whatever I do it's probably a capoeira moment.
I attribute things to capoeira, it's more permanent than a tattoo kasi it's burned into a mindset I'm living in.

Littlepig

Zip Up and Hide Inside

Shamani found her curled up cushy under a rock, literally.
"You realize that even if you don't answer back I'm still capable of tracking you down by regular means." Rive mumbled back something and stayed curled. The mushy grass underneath seemed comfortable enough for a cozy siesta. But that was beside the point right now.
"Stomach ache, emo moment? what?"
"I don't want to go back. I wanna stay here." Emo moment.
Shammy gave her the exasperated 'tsk' with matching hands on hips. Kicking the prone body in smoky, slightly ripped up clothes would help dust off her friend.
"Look, ok. You can't stay. We agreed on this. Everyone else is home already, and I have more cases to deal with tomorrow, I have an early meeting and other things." Saturating her with real life was really not a good idea at the moment but Shamani was touching the fringes of frustration. There better be a good reason for this.
"I'm all out of cute." Rive mumbled so contritely she didn't know what to make out of it. She didn't look like she was going to be moving either. She was just there. "I'm safer here, I don't want to go back."
"Ok" Shamani bit down. "What happened." She didn't want to point out this minute about how many bugs her friend could have in her hair now. Looking at the area she was in, the bugs probably got dusted off along with the rest of the vicinity. Rive was that easy to find since the rock she was under was the only patch of green in the middle of desolation.
"It took a lot of self level heading to handle last night," Rive began. "I was more nervous and annoyed than anything. But I realize that giving the nice couple 1000 for scratching their car and dealing with them was a better alternative than having to deal with the swearing Indian dude. I thought he hit me. I didn't notice I hit the other car. I was trying to skivvy off from paying 1000, come on. Buffering is just... what? 300? Then I'm thinking that it's better to have dealt with them instead, giving them that amount rather than the mysterious other leg of what could have happened if I would have had to deal with the other guy."
Shamani nodded encouragingly.
"She gave me back 200 cause she felt sorry for me. It was taking all my cute to talk my way out of the whole thing. At least for 800 they wouldn't feel so bad, right? At least they have enough for a carwash and wax too right."
Shamani mmm-hmm'd appropriately in the normal tandem of understanding the story.
"So why are you still feeling so bad?" she asked. Get this over with.
"I'm not sure. Shell-shocked as always, wondering how far cute and charming gets you. How it's easier to understand logic, explain logic rather than understand vibe the ebb you emanate... that you can't really explain." Rive was mumbo-jumbo-ing.
"Well, you're ok now."
"I guess. Still feel bad and weird and let-down."
"That you used cute and it only got so far as 200 bucks instead of, what 500?"
"If it was the other way around, it might seem rather fair."
"Yes."
"And I do wish that if their kids got in the same situation, I suppose karma dictates that other people would be as kind as they were to me, right?"
"Right."
Rive stood up and Shamani took them home, for now.
