This morning whilst on the train to work, a group of high school kids boarded the train. Regretfully forgetting my headphones that morning, I couldnt help overhearing their loud conversation about prom, fashion and high school puppy loves. The discussion carried on to how they get to their ice skating rink destination.

They were obviously confused and me being a regular at the skating rink, I explained to them that there were 2 places to skate, north side(which is the train line we were on) and south side(inaccessible by public transport, where they were trying to go). They heard me out and logically, they would stay on the train to head north side to skate instead of south side(lack of transport?). But for some unknown reason, the girls were quick to get off the train although they were on the right track to their destination much to the guys(and my) surprise.

Is this how women react to change? is that how they react in other aspects of life?…Stopping their journey to re-evaluate all their options and does that make them bad decision-makers?

Alot of girls I know are indescisive by nature about everything, food, clothes, men?…This doesnt neceserily make them bad decision makers per say as they will take everything will be factored into consideration. “This stock is going down, how about all their subsidaries, are they affected as badly?”, “This house is nice, but for the price we are paying, is the neighbourhood safe for our kids in the future?”

I actually believe that makes them very good decision makers when it comes to educated ones. Although, when you put feelings into the equation, everything becomes a catch 22 and it turns into ”Why didnt that guy ask me out? Am I too fat? or is it what im wearing?”

and although those girls who decided to get off the train werent quick enough to get back onto the train, I hope they managed to catch the next one….

Over half my lifetime, I have been passed off as totally blur. I stumbled upon this blog post on a Antithesis Squared, a blog that I frequent: http://antithesis2.net/?p=862

I have actually contemplated whether I have ADD and simply brushed off the idea but now, I believe I do have it although its minor.

If you know me in person, do you think I have ADD?

Zouk = Cheese Cake
Salsa = Chocolate Cake
Bachata = Tiramisu

Now that you are all confused, let me explain =)

While dancing with Julie last weekend, our discussion led me to believe that if dance styles were cakes, those would be what their cake counterparts will be.

Zouk, Cheese Cake, I LOVE cheesecake, especially blueberry cheesecake with a biscuit base. However, you cant eat too much cheesecake! its too rich and should be taken in moderation. In similar fashion, I love zouk! but I dont enjoy dancing it too much and like to dance it in moderation, perhaps 2-3 times a night. In case you have no idea what Zouk is(video below by Kadu and Larissa from Rio Rythmics):-

Salsa, chocolate cake. You can never have enough chocolate cake and its always sweet and consistent tasting. Honestly, I dont like chocolate cake as much as cheesecake but I sure cant stop eating it. Similarly, Salsa is forever consistent and I get a kick out of it everytime and I cant stop no matter how hard I try. Salsa Video(shamelessly plugging myself >.< honestly cant compare to the other 2 videos ):

Bachata, Tiramisu. I only eat this once in a blue moon and it is very hard to find Tiramisu that tastes fantastic. Not only is it rare to find good tasting Tiramisu, it is also very personal and the taste differs from person to person. In the same way, Bachata is in most cases played every 5-10 songs(that is considered infrequent) but when it is played, I will only dance it with someone I have danced with before because to me, Bachata is very personal and passionate, something I could not do with a total stranger. Heres why(video):-

Suffice to say, I love cake, and I also love dancing.Here is my list again

What is the cake to your dance style?

My comparisons of dance styles to cakes are my personal opinion. These are not uniform in the dance scene.
