It’s World Theatre Day! These days I enjoy working behind the scenes and living a slower paced life. Doing theatre inspired me to live a life beyond the stage and taught me how take the lead in both my personal and professional life. I love being able to pass those lessons down to my students. Also, since my time away from the stage as a performer, I’ve really enjoyed sitting in the audience being transported to another reality. Thank you to everyone who is part of keeping theatre alive. 🙏🏽

These photos were recently shared on a former student’s timeline of a dance that I taught almost a decade ago. It brought back many fond memories. I love making dances that make my student’s look and feel beautiful. My student’s are all grown up (and so am I) and this dance captured a beautiful time for us all. 🥰#flashbackfriday

What a great night for my homeschool musical theatre program and the students who courageously performed on stage! This was a new experience for most and I’m incredibly proud of how they all decided to show up for this moment. I am celebrating everyone’s growth and the community that came together to support these children and this program. I am grateful and blessed for this opportunity to teach, guide, and create. 🥰🙏🏽

I’m in my samba era! 💃🏽 I’m enjoying the process of learning this dance, its culture, and being surrounded by women with beautiful, powerful, and loving energy! 🥰 To learn and grow with others is what dance is all about. Special shout out to my teacher @mizsilpvk for her guidance-teachers who help you feel joy throughout the process are a gift! 🎁

Wonderful job to my student in his role of young Simba at CMTSJ production of Lion King Jr. What a “roaring” performance! So honored to be part of this young actor’s journey.

Samba-the perfect dance style to express how I’m feeling and living in this present time of my life. It’s fast paced and fabulous! You may miss a beat but you must keep pushing towards your most amazing self.

It’s been a little over 10 years since I’ve danced for myself. My kids came to watch me dance for the first time ever and I love that I could share this version of myself with them and that this version of myself is still available to share.

It was National Dance Day yesterday and I’m happy to share that this year-I danced. 💃🏽

It’s a tradition to kickoff my son’s homeschool year with a field trip. 3rd grade kicks off in San Fransisco!! It was a fun day of exploring. I showed him where I used to work. He doesn’t believe I used to be a singer for a dinner theatre show on Pier 39. It was so long ago that neither can I!! Looking forward to returning back to teaching this semester. Wishing everyone a great year of learning.

Merry Christmas! Wishing you a wonderful day of togetherness and relaxation. From my family to yours.

I grew up celebrating the Filipino Christmas tradition of Noche Buena. Noche Buena is celebrated by going to a candle light Christmas church service in the evening, and then immediately meeting with family for a huge feast of traditional Filipino dishes, singing, dancing, and opening of gifts!

Here I am at 5 years old, singing carols with my family during Noche Buena-my most favorite part of the tradition! If you are in the mood to sing (and dance) Christmas songs with your family this season, checkout my Christmas playlists on Spotify. I’ve selected my favorite songs and even made sure to take the key down a notch to make it easy for everyone to sing along. You can find them in the link in bio.

Happy Noche Buena to you all! May you enjoy an evening of feasting, singing, and dancing with all the ones you love.

It’s officially a wrap for my 2023 homeschool learning programs. We completed our final performances last week and have enjoyed celebrating our time together at our end of the semester cast party!

The students have so much to be proud of! I am proud of all their work and courage. I have enjoyed teaching them and seeing them become more confident in themselves and form connections throughout the process.

Now it’s time for a much needed rest!

To celebrate the holidays-I recently took my family to experience their first ballet with South Bay Dance Centers’ production of The Nutcracker.

What I love more than being a teacher of the performing arts is being a patron of the performing arts!

The production was beautifully done! I especially enjoyed watching my son and niece cheer with excitement throughout the performance.

As mentioned in previous post, I am spending the month of December writing reviews for local businesses I support. Today I share with you a review for my son’s public speaking and entrepreneur teacher: Illene Marks of Empower Thrive.

My son loves learning about business and we have approached the learning of core academic subjects by teaching him how it all relates to making his business ideas come to life. Here are a few photos of him at his most recent craft fair selling “Jere Pops,” a rice crispy treat on a stick! No more sticky fingers!

Homeschooling my child has given me the opportunity to meet and partner with amazing teachers. My son has loved learning about public speaking and entrepreneurship from Illene Marks since kindergarten. He looks forward to her classes every week and I am happy that he has the opportunity to learn and develop these necessary life skills at such a young age-with a teacher who truly understands how to work with my highly energetic, extremely curious, and strong willed child.

Reviews I share on yelp will be featured in both my bio and stories under “RECOMMENDATIONS.”

Sharing a snip it from a review a couple recently shared on yelp! 🥰

This past month, I have focused on sharing my work through the words of my students. It always makes my day to read and share what they say.

For small businesses, testimonials are the gift that keep on giving! As we go into the season of giving, I will be writing and sharing reviews of business that I personally recommend. Can’t wait to share with you the businesses that have made a difference in my life both personally and professionally.

Wishing everyone a wonderful thanksgiving season.
