I’ve realized in the past years of my college life, you get to see who your true friends are. I’ve lost a lot of friends over petty things, lost in touch, or just simply because people change. The ones who stuck around truly know the kind of person I am. I let go of the people who weren’t worth my…

Lately Ive been more motivated to choreograph, Just the feel of making your ideas and concepts come to life with a set of people. I think that alone is my biggest motivation right now. I wanna try out so many things. I love this feeling!
I just met you, but I miss you so much. What is this? Its kind of depressing.
Honestly no point to be there when all I get out...
Just made the decision to stop dancing for a while and take this opportunity. I’m actually kinda looking forward to this. This decision is definitely not what I’m used to but I will work hard till I finish. But I can’t believe I won’t be dancing as much in the process. But if I have the money, Saturdays will be definitely days that I’ll be out training wherever...

Before I flew back out to San Francisco, I had the pleasure of shooting Mariel Martin and Keone Madrid’s engagement photos. These two were the funnest, weirdest, most perfect madly-in-love couple I have ever shot. It was definitely at the top of my favorite photo shoots…

Dare you read it?
Throughout the year in a half that I’ve been dancing, I’ve learned so much thing’s and have taken in so much, in so little time. Dancing is just so intriguing to me, I remember thing’s more easily when it’s dance-related, not only dance itself but names of people, history, styles etc, compared to other subjects. It’s like my capacity of learning suddenly boosts up when I’m learning anything...
I would have never imagine gaining this much confidence to actually teach to a class my choreography. Consisting of 30-40 people in an actual studio. The fact that before I was so shy to even go in front of the class to do a presentation. Contemplating about it is just so crazy.
Watching dance video's and I'm all,...
I’m super stoked more than ever this springs semester, these kids are as hungry as I am to dance. Forming the new group started on a good note, still recruiting. So far consist of 7 people mostly guys, I shouldn’t be so picky though, there’s a lot who are willing to join. But the dance class that I’m taking this semester has a bunch of new faces, a few of them kept staring...

I already have bright outlooks on this year, co-directing a spring dance production and incorporating modern and hip-hop. Forming a dance group in NVC and can’t wait for what’s in store. Also had a good talk with my cousin in Socal and I’m gonna be training in the studios where he teaches at and going to meet a lot of dancers in socal. Can’t wait!
whathefuckisatumblr asked: Oh Niko! You don't know how my heart leaped when I saw the post about you saying you're ready to get back in to choreography!!! I kept trying to tell you, your works were wonderful. Maybe you can come stop by DM [on a day that I'm there] and show me some of your lovely moves? :3

I took my time off choreographing in 2011 because I felt I wasn’t ready to do so, so I wasn’t as productive in making pieces but rather focused in learning different styles, learning my own movement and getting to know my style. And this 2012 I feel as though I’m ready to get back in to choreography. I have great expectations though already, I can’t wait!

2011 was such a crazy year, kinna sad seeing it coming to an end. But I can’t forget, this was the year I really took dance into account and was involved in it the most this year. I got a chance to learn modern and take the basic fundamental of hip-hop and also get the feel of free-styling in funk styles which I got the most of by doing sessions in raves at fanime. Also I got the privilege...

The Hip-Hop Master class today was such a humbling experience. It made me stop and think about everything I was doing and after that in mind, my movement was quickly renewed. Such a big eye opener. The piece itself was crazy hard but super tight, not to mention really fast. At first I was really intimidated as usual and then towards then end I start picking up the pace and did it justice! Such a...

I’m not the type to judge other dancers nor I ever will. I’m doing it to better myself, not to be better than anyone else. Why would I waste time interfering with other people’s craft when I could put the time and effort into making myself better. If it’s irrelevant, don’t intervene. Don’t mind mines better yet sustain yours. Bullshit is disregarded so save it...

So I was going Christmas shopping on Melrose, when I am walking out of an Urban Outfitters, to find my holiday sweater for a holiday sweater party, when what do I see but the most ginormously tall woman in what looks like a terrible homemade superhero/jazzercise/people of Walmart costume.
