If one person on OMGPOP thinks I’m hispanic again, gaah! I AM FILIPINO dammit! & it’s CARLO not CARLOS! I try not to say the word “hate” ‘cause it’s such a strong word, but I HATE it when people call me Carlos. Are you guys for serious? lmao.
HAHA it’s normal. I might as well change my name to Karlos.
In fact, in order to prevent people from thinking i was hispanic, I...

Advance Notice
I will be going to the Philippines from Dec 30 to some date unknown.
Some individuals have given me money to pick stuff up for them while I am there. So I decided to open that up to any of my friends.
If you know of something from the Philippines you would like to get just tell me in advance, and we can work out the details.
Additionally, If anyone knows of people who dance, dance studios,...

I tried out for the Groovaloos today to become one of their lockers.
Aside from the fact that my shoe flew off at one point, I thought I did well.
*I used my shoe as a prop after it fell off so…RECOVERY.
ALSO, I would like to say I am RIDICULOUSLY thankful for joining Fr3sh. Why you ask? Simple. There was a choreography portion in the audition...

Failure is the most important thing in life.
It humbles you when you think you are doing well, it shows you what works and what does not work, and most importantly it makes you try a lot harder.

kmtborja: inspiration
kmtborja: is a weird thing
kmtborja: to be honest
chyyneezba11a: haha

kmtborja: about
kmtborja: inspiring anyone
kmtborja: i swear to you
chyyneezba11a: haha
kmtborja: my dancing
kmtborja: has always been
kmtborja: like
kmtborja: my own little world
chyyneezba11a: word
kmtborja: so i never did it
kmtborja: to inspire
kmtborja: i always did it to improve
kmtborja: so its like
kmtborja: a new thing
kmtborja: to have people
kmtborja: tell me
kmtborja: i inspire them
kmtborja: its weird to be honest
chyyneezba11a: so its weird for me to say
chyyneezba11a: u inspire me?
kmtborja: kinda
chyyneezba11a: haha
kmtborja: because
kmtborja: its not like
kmtborja: my goal was to inspire people
kmtborja: i just tried to be
kmtborja: the best i could be
chyyneezba11a: which is good
kmtborja: but then its like
kmtborja: ...iuno
kmtborja: doesn't that mean im being selfish
chyyneezba11a: uve been in ur own world
chyyneezba11a: improving urself
chyyneezba11a: and that u never really paid attention to others
chyyneezba11a: so improving urself
chyyneezba11a: ppl saw that
chyyneezba11a: and were like wow
chyyneezba11a: by it
kmtborja: wait
kmtborja: so is that bad
kmtborja: that i dont'
kmtborja: dance to inspire?
chyyneezba11a: well
chyyneezba11a: everyone has their reasons
chyyneezba11a: thers no wrong ness
chyyneezba11a: lol
chyyneezba11a: you dance to better yourself
chyyneezba11a: but while u do that
chyyneezba11a: u inspire others
chyyneezba11a: nahmsaing
chyyneezba11a: saying*
chyyneezba11a: like inspiring others
chyyneezba11a: is not ur main focus
kmtborja: right
kmtborja: but thats what im asking
kmtborja: should it be my main focus?
kmtborja: like
kmtborja: there has to be
kmtborja: a right or wrong in this instance
kmtborja: the one who dances to inspire
kmtborja: or the one who dances to improve themself
chyyneezba11a: i dont think theres wrong at all
chyyneezba11a: they both go hand in hand
chyyneezba11a: a person who dances to inspire can only do that by working at his craft right
chyyneezba11a: and a person who dances to improve themselves unintentionally inspire others
chyyneezba11a: but u jus dont realy mind if u inspire others
chyyneezba11a: nahm sayin

chyyneezba11a: if he said that to u
kmtborja: sure i would be like
kmtborja: oh snap
kmtborja: but its not the intention

My Thank Yous (I know Thanksgiving is over)
This has been a very crazy time in my life. I went from the same monotonousness day to day routine to being surprised on a week to week basis. I have had ups and downs along the way, but the people who surrounded me helped support, inspire, nurture, and take care of me through it all. So I just wanted to write my thanks to the certain individuals who were there the most. Each one of these is for a...

Below I answered a formspring question that really got me thinking back to how I had learned dance.
In looking back I came to one memory that stuck out the most, which I will share below:
As I was still learning locking I had filmed myself one day. I was excited since I thought I did well. I sent the clip to Kaistar and after reviewing it he only told me one thing,

Dialog 1
Dialog 1
Name: Yeah ight questions: You once bagged on dancers who tried freestyling and judged saying they weren’t dancing to beat of the music. That they weren’t listening to the music and were just trying to have a dope freestyle. Did it ever cross your mind as you made that critique that other dancers can’t or aren’t used to freestyling like you are? Have you ever thought they possibly are...
Dance Formspring →
I ponder a lot about dance to myself. However, I’ve always preferred having dialogs. I feel it brings new ways of viewing things.
If there has ever been a time you disagreed with something i wrote, or agreed and wanted to say your take on it, please share. Additionally, all questions or comments are welcome.

Dependence

When I should be writing my paper…I am writing on here instead.
(This entry is inspired by someone I spoke to today)
The OGs of any dance never had anyone to learn from, yet they still managed to make the moves and concepts we use today.
As the dances get older people start looking to the past generations to spoon feed them the dance, which to me undermines...
I could talk about dance all day. Every single little aspect of it.
I probably end up boring a lot of people to death because of that, so consider this an apology in advance.
