I'm Not A Supergirl

"Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new." (Brian Tracy)
We all have a comfort zone where everything feels like safe and familiar.We tend to stay inside it. Stay in comfortable situation. Avoid something that doesn't fit our expectations. That's simply because we are afraid of falling. We are afraid of the unknown. We are scared to challenge ourselves to something beyond our mind or power.

As I heard my friend said, "try to leave your comfort zone". I am experiencing that matter, too. For I always usually get what I wish; entered university I wanted, graduated university in 3.5 years, had a job even before I graduated, won several Ballroom Dancing competitions. Those were good, actually. It's like life would never been this good. But, I felt something's missing. I lost the challenge. I lost the meaning of life itself. Because it became easy for me. It's not that I didn't feel grateful for what I already had and got. It's just that I slightly need a spark of life's challenge.




In order to challenge myself a little bit, I kissed my comfort zone a sweet goodbye by taking a chance to be a part of Speranza Annual Showcase this year: I'm Not A Super Girl. I've been joining this Dance Studio since July. Speranza Dance Studio is one the ballet school and dance in Pondok Gede. There are Ballet Class for Babies until Elementary Kids, Jazz Ballet Class for Adolescence and Adult, and Flexibility and Strengthening Class. I decided to try Jazz Ballet Class for Adult. I've never been into jazz nor ballet before. I thought I was never survived first time I participated in free trial jazz ballet class. It was much much much harder than Ballroom Dancing. Though, I liked it much. :)

After two-months getting ups and downs rehearsal, the principal said that there would be an annual showcase this year and she hoped that every member could be a part of it. I felt like it's another challenge for myself. To feel an overtime rehearsal, to do a new ballet routine, and to have a good body-shaped, for sure. ;) So, I threw myself in to this showcase.

The showcase itself was already held on December 11th. I was sooooooo happy that my family, my close-friends, my ballroom dancing mates, even my students were coming to see me perform. Of course, the showcase was awesome! The people who watched it said that it was a good performance. Hoooooorrrrraaayyy!

Can you guess what were we?

I started dancing when I was a kid. Thanks to my mom who put me in Traditional Dance Class in the neighborhood without my permission. I performed several times at that time. Primary, Middle, and High School years I passed without knowing the latest infos about dancing. I threw my self up in Marching Band Community and Theater Club, instead. Quite enjoying those old good times though I didn't have very passionate heart in time of doing. I was acquainted with Ballroom Dancing when I was Freshman. A friend of mine introduced me to it. And next time I knew, I felt in love with it. Last year in uni, I opened up myself to another possibility of dancing genre. Later I know, I found myself drowning in (what we call) Jazz Ballet slash Street Jazz. Most of people define Street Jazz with a various dances characterized by the use of improvisation and influenced by rhythms and ballet techniques which is developed over time. True that improvisations and basic ballet techniques are involv...

Comic 8 (2014)

Since watching its first trailer on youtube at the end of last year, I couldn't wait to watch the full movie. Waiting for it to be aired nationally was killing me. Seriously. Yet, now it's all paid off. I must say Comic 8 was by far the best Indonesian Comedy movie I've ever watched. The punch line were hilariously funny. The casts were fit to their act. Even though I didn't really know that comic could act that good. Surprisingly, the plot was kind of mind-blowing for me. I guessed it wrong. But that's okay because it turned out good eventually. I know for sure that this movie was seriously made. The set places really portrayed the story. The props looked real (I mean the guns). The way the casts shoot them fascinated me. I mean they worked really hard to make this happened. Two thumbs up for the production team and casts! :) So, just spare your time today. Go to the nearest cinema. Have a fun day watching Comic 8 before it's too late. pic ...
