Audras class

Kiera-Oona — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 22:42:47 GMT

Went to one of her short dance classes for tribal. WOOH what a workout. not used to that much exercise. I guess if im going to keep up with the class, i'd better practice a LOT more. I felt a bit out of place once she started going through more of the advanced stuff, that Ive been struggling with. . I just wish i could pay for regular classes. At least I have something to practice on before the next session which is almost a month from now

Another freekin Pet Food Recall!!!!!

Are they gonna start recalling everything now? If my roommates cat wasnt so sensitive to other foods, i'd start feeding my guys mince or something. Go to www.citynews.ca for more info...all the details...so far...are there

Carolina Nariccio box set for 5$ at chapters

Kiera-Oona — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 00:41:50 GMT

A friend of mine through my livejournal had posted the box set was dirt cheap...so i got one myself. The zils that it comes with are kinda thin, but they're still good for practice. it also comes with a belly bindi which is cute. I haven't had a chance to go over it thoroughly, but it seems to be one of those gems for beginners like myself. I'm definately going to use it for my practice tonight.

Bummed

Kiera-Oona — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 23:35:17 GMT

I was so looking forward to being actually able to afford to start being able to go to classes at least once a week, not to mention other things that i wanted to get paid of.... Then just after christmas...I get laid off work. I tried doing one of my tapes just to de-stress which did help marginally....but I still have to find work. So come Tuesday, I'll be sprucing up my resume, and hitting the hunt for a new job. I'm so thankful for an understanding and supportive boyfriend....without him I'd be up crap's creek without a paddle. Before I got laid off, I went to the last Larp game of the season. I play a bellydancing halfling (even tho i dont do much dancing in game) who loves blue and pink. For those who know me....Pink I as i see it is the color of EVIL! Anyhow....Included is a pic of my outfit...it is a definate Triberet outfit. 90% made by myself.

on my way

Kiera-Oona — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 05:25:42 GMT

I feel so....accomplished for me being such a lazyass. I know i promised id get off my but and it looks like im well on my way. I've been practicing my wiggles by watching various video tapes and going through drills at least 3 times a week for the past two weeks for at least 30 mins a day.(if not more) I just gotta keep it up. I had a strange thought that might be amusing. 7 dancers...6 female 1 male, 1 prop each except the guy (jug, cane, sword, wings of isis, candle tray and red veil) doing the cell block tango from the musical "chicago". jug: some guys just cant hold their arsenic cane: i fired a warning shot right into his head sword: he ran into my knife 10 times white Wings: na-ugh not guilty candle tray - he saw himself as alive, i saw him dead red veil: it was only till i was washing the blood off my hands did i realize they were both dead

well, despite this horrid voice stealing cold, i have been working on a few projects. One of them being lining my winter coat, and the other is tweaking a pattern and making myself some practice choli's. The second one I made fits WAY better than the first one. I'm off to do some knitting before bed. I promise i will post choli pics soon. with any luck and if im not feeling too crapy tomorrow, I will be able to go through another one of the tapes I have and practice some more.

TO ALL TORONTO DOG OWNERS

Kiera-Oona — Sat, 06 May 2006 21:32:51 GMT

to anyone in the Toronto/Taylor Creek Park area that is a dog owner....PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH! On May 5th I went down to the trail with Leeloo for an hour....and 5 owners didnt have their dogs on a leash...and I'm not talking small dogs, we're talking about dogs that come up to my waist! I dont want my kitty eaten by your dogs so once again....PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH!

Astra's Hafla

Kiera-Oona — Tue, 02 May 2006 23:40:36 GMT

I went as a member of the audiance. I wish I knew how to Zigrit before the show...I also wish i was front row, but the seats that one of the performers kids saved for us were just as good. I thought it was a really good show considering it was the first live bellydance performance I've ever been to. I am so looking forward to the next one. I got alot of ideas for costuming, even if I don't follow through with my wiggle practice myself. I do quite a bit of sewing so I wouldnt mind helping out my friends with their outfits I would have personally have liked to see more Tribal but its not quite as popular up here as it is in the States. As far as I could tell, the styles were mostly Egyptian I had a blast! I never knew my friend was THAT good till I saw her on stage(i dont want to name names unless she gives me the go ahead) I know that if i had some extra income, i would so start taking up regular lessons. Either with Astra, or with Bebe. I've been thinking of making funfur zill covers, or some of that stretchy velvet material....especially since i have scraps of lepoard print from making my boyfriends sillyhat
