Warm air, Cool breeze, Sparkling Pool.

I've been short on words lately. In a very pensive state. Heres some eye candy!

Marvel Gone Dunit Again!

Movie: Thor (2011)


Rating: 8.5/10

General Opinion: This movie was like a moving comic book, the plot was a little lacking and the ending was cliche but the movie as a whole was action packed and humorous.


I got to see Thor the day before it was released thanks to my bestie Keely. Overall it was a good movie, though what I like particularly much is the fact that it was a moving comic strip. The shots and colours had that Marvel comic book feel down to a tee without being tacky. The costumes and general wardrobe were not over the top or unrealistic. For example, Natalie Portmans character (Jane Foster) is a scientist who lives in the middle of nowhere was wearing dusty boots, no lipstick, NO HIGHHEELS. I hate when they doll up characters who its out of the characters character to be so. LOL confusing sentence. The only criticism I have about this movie is that the ending seemed a little abrupt (I guess because there is going to be a sequel?) and that I saw it in 3D. I'M one of the many who get headaches and experience minor discomfort during 3D movies.

Anyway! If you have the chance to see Thor, or have been thinking about it I say GO FOR IT! Its worth your money and time.

Ciao :)

TECKTONIK

Yes laydeez and Gents! I am into dancing.
I am done high school have no job and nothing to do! Luckily its almost summer so all my friends who went to college and university are returning home.

Dance, I have ALWAYS loved it. The only thing that held be back from being the next prima ballerina was my fear of angry looking girls. I showed up to class in my dance leotard with a sparkly tutu (I used to wear it to gymnastics which I gave up because we never did ribbon dancing and that's all I wanted to do) after ballet I tried Irish dancing which was fun... but the teacher was SOOO MEAN! I am a passive person and I definitely don't stand up for myself as much as I should have so I wimped out of that.

This leads me to now. I dance Para Para, and learn Kpop routines, and now...to add one more thing to my list... TECKTONIK!

Basically to my knowledge the Tecktonik dancer must be secretly cool. its not cool to go around saying I AM DANCING TECKTONIK! so technically I'm breaking rule one... BUT then again how else do people learn about it? Though is is cool to keep a youtube account teaching people how to dance tecktonik.

I recommend stretching if you wish to try this... and take it slow. If you try it at the same speed as those who have already mastered Tecktonik...you will look RIDICULOUS. Anways here are some videos I have found useful for the absolute beginer!


This first video is absolutely doable for any beginer.

This is a little more difficult. MAJOR TIP take it slow. stretch your wrists or you WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT injure yourself. I did. and lets be honest... how do you explain a sore wrist without being made fun of...

I find this video gives the movements in the videos above more of a fluid transition. It connects them and shows movement seaquinces. I found this really helpful.

Heres a few links that have more videos, I have yet to watch them all but I assume their good content. They were recommended to me by another site.
