Recently, one of my favorite idols, Tae Yang, came out his new digital single called " where u at".
It is a good song, try googling it up. =D
However, i was told that the dance choreography was not only by TaeYang, but also along with two extremely famous dancers from the States, Shaun Evaristo & Lyle Beniga.
Hence, having my own dancing spirit, i youtubed them.
Heck, why did not i know them before TaeYang?
I like to observe choreography. For me, dance is one of the ultimate weapon to communicate.
Try asking a girl for a dance. =D
Shaun Evaristo and Lyle Beniga is famous for their rhythmic dance choreography.
They dance, not only through the rhythm of the song, but also with the lyrics.
Watch the one below. It is one of Shaun Evaristo's choreography.
Could you hear the lyrics and see the dance steps?
He danced through his heart , feelings and soul.
Yes, he is a good dancer, but it is not everyone to be able to dance solely through feelings.
Not all are able to do so.
Most dance choreography, especially the famous performances, are based only on rhythms and not much on soul and feelings.
Well, body is also a tool to tell. to talk. to observe.
If you cant talk, use your body.
well, most people are used to their culture about the sensitivity of touch.
However, if you ask beforehand, that is a different case.
Every movement counts just like how when we speak, every single word counts.
Once done, is never to retrieve back.
From dancing also, you can judge what is their relationship.
take them as example.
Lyle Beniga & Shaun Evaristo
From the dance, you can see how neat and powerful the dance is.
You can say that these two have really good build up relationship OR you can say that they have real raw talent.
But , i do not believe that a good dancer comes solely based on talents. It is all about practice.
Dance can get to build relationship up.
Try that everyone.
Then within a month or so time, these two have to collobrate with Taeyang as he invited them in. In that one month time, Taeyang who is a korean, is able to produce out a fantastic result with the two of them. Taeyang's English was not bad. However, when you meet a person who is a total different culture, at the first sight, there might be a bit of gap.
However, dance brought them together.
It is the interest and passion they have, they made into this wonderful dance.
lastly, present you, what TaeYang and the two famous dance choreographer have done.

Lying
Sometimes, when we are communicating with someone else, we find out that their verbal language is contradicted with their nonverbal language. However, you are not sure that are they lying to you. You feel very awkward when you are facing this situation. You just do not want to listen to them yet; you just tune off and want to escape from them.
Now, I would like to share some typical signs and signals when a person is lying. First, there will be little or no eye contact with you. They will try to avoid you because they do not want to look and have eye contact with you. There may also have rapid eye movement. Their eyeball will move left or right constantly.
Secondly, their breathing rate will increase rapidly. You can easily detect this abnormal feature because they will breathe very fast. At the same time, their complexion will change especially their face and neck. Their face and neck will gradually turn red.
Subsequently, their perspiration will increase. They will be sweating in a large amount and very nervous. Their voice tones will be change by changing in pitch, throat clearing and stammering.
Most importantly, their body will turn away from you and they will show some unusual body gestures. Their fingers will place in front of their mouth while speaking to you. If you notice these kinds of features, they may most probably lie to you. However, you should not avoid them; instead, you should ask them more questions and try to observe them whether he or she is a trustworthy person.

How to be a Good Leader
Recently, we are handling with loads of group assignment. As we know, in a group assignment, someone will be appointed to be the leader of the group. However, not every one is a good leader because it requires sufficient leadership skills and techniques. Therefore, do you want to be a good a leader, so that your followers will respect and admire you?
Now, I would like to discuss what the criteria to be a good leader are. First, you must know your team. You can ask your team members to introduce themselves. Through introducing themselves, you can know what their interest is and what kind of personality they are. Are they an interpersonal or intrapersonal? At the same time, you also need to socialize with them. You can invite them to have a drink with you, so that your team members will feel that you are an easy going person. Moreover, you should meet your team regularly, so that they are more comfortable to get along with you. They will understand and know you better.
In addition, an effective communication is very important. You have to communicate constantly with your team because your team member will not know what you are doing and thinking. They need your clear and direct instruction from you. You can communicate with them, through computer-mediated communication and also face-to-face communication. By doing so, you will find that your work can be done more easily. Besides giving instruction to them, you also need to listen to them because they may also have some suggestions and comment on the matter. You must able to accept honest criticism and take into account into it. You can try to make some changes on you attitude and behavior. By doing so, your team will appreciate your kindness and effort you made.
Furthermore, you must be on time when you are having meeting with them. They do not like to wait for you. You should try to make your meeting to be short, so that your team members can concentrate better. Also, you need to delegate the work to your other team members. You should not do it all by your own. You should trust them that they can do better. You must give them chance to try to work on it. A simple thank you is also very crucial in doing a group work. The words, ‘thank you’ will make people feel better and happy. As a result, you should thank constantly to your team members.

Fix yourself
Song of the post : Coldplay - Fix you
Note : it was this song inspired me to write this post.
Dedicated to someone.
When you are stressed, what do you do?
When your friend is stressed and he has a get-off-i-got-work look, what do you do?
What if you need to say something important to that person, do you go to him and say? Or shut up and wait for next time?
I am saying that, when we are stressed, we are less likely to be conscious of what we are doing. Maybe not all of us, but most of us do. We tend to be annoyed when it irritates you. We tend to scream to the person. We tend to tighten our fists. We tend to smash whatever we are holding.
Do you want the person beside you to get sad because you are stressed an let your anger out?
We never know what we will do, when we are stressed.
We do not pay much attention to what our face do and our language say.
We unintentionally spit all the anger out to whoever or whatever is near to you.
Do you feel stress?
If you do, do yourself a favour.
Run.
Run the whole office.
Run the whole floor.
Run from the HELP Main entrance to DSA.
Run back and forth to Main entrance to DSA.
Run from the first floor to second floor using stairs.
Run from the second floor to the third floor using stairs.
Run from the third floor to the top of the building.
Run up to down.
Run outside the building.
Run as if there is no tomorrow.
Run as if you can run faster than Forest Gump.
Run as if the monsters are coming after you.
Run and do not bump into anything.
Set yourself free by running.
Set your mind free.
Never look back.
After you have done running, go back, and face the challenge with that heart.
The heart of being fixed.

Overcoming Low Self Esteem
Self esteem is very important in our daily life because it is how important you think you are but not other people. Some people with high self esteem believe in their own abilities and capabilities. They believe that they can achieve their goals. However, people with low self esteem do not think they are valuable and their self worth is very low. As a result, they become very timid and fearful.
This showed that there is a big different between people with high self esteem and low self esteem and how self esteem can become barrier in your life. Therefore, it is important to overcome your low self esteem. There are several ways to overcome low self esteem, such as self examination. People who are brought up in a negative environment are more prone to have low self esteem. Thus, it is advisable not to look at your past, instead look at the present. You should start to self-examine your attitudes, behaviors, emotions, responses and thoughts.
Moreover, you should change your thinking pattern. You can list down you achievements and successes in the past and use it to encourage yourself. In this way, it can encourage you to think in a positive way. Besides, you should stop thinking thoughts and images that are bothering you and instead, you should replace it with an inspire picture and positive words.
In addition, you should take some effort to monitor how you talk. The way you speak will affect your self esteem. People with low self esteem always love to say that they are not good enough when communicating with others and this believe causes to affect their emotion and then their action. Hence, you should eliminate the negative thoughts and replace it with a good and positive affirmation.
Furthermore, you should have firm decisions. Every one of us has our own choice to become a person with healthy and high self esteem and vice versa. If you take the action to build your self esteem, eventually you will regain your dignity and pride and you will like yourself much more than others.

How to Improve Your Verbal Communication Skills
Although nonverbal communication has made up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal communication, we should not overlook the important of verbal communication. Verbal communication is so crucial in our daily life because we always use it as a tool for communication with people around us. However, not every person is good in it. As a result, a lot of miscommunication happens among one another and many of us do not take action to correct our mistakes even though we are aware that we had made a mistake. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunities encourage each of every one of us to take actions to improve our verbal communication skills.
There are several ways to improve your verbal communication. First and foremost, you can use positive words to challenge your limiting beliefs. The words you use to express your thought will determine how your emotion is. Next, you can tell or narrate a story before you want to get people’s attention. You can do so by telling some jokes or narrate a story as well as reading a quote. People will feel comfortable to talk to you after you tell or narrate a story. Besides, people will feel relax and more opened to listen to your problems.
Subsequently, you must ask the right questions. Asking the right questions will give a positive debate and interaction that will benefit to all of us. Moreover, it can reduce the unnecessary arguments by expressing your skills of communication effectively. In the same time, you must think and prepare before your speak. We should think by using our brains and not depend on our emotion. In addition, you can reduce the usage of verbal cue. We should not use verbal cues too frequently because it will irritate the listeners and causes the listeners to lose interest. Lat but not least, you should avoid careless language. A careless language will create a lot of problem to the consumers.

SHOUT
It is really difficult and hard to express anger in a very positive way. For me, I find that letting it out and explode is the best way although it is not suggest to anybody. Whenever i got mad, I will curse repeatedly and shouting loudly to that person without them knowing it. I just cursed to my own selves. These extremes are not good actually because its better when you express anger in a healthy way so that you can resolve it more quickly and get back on with your life. I just shared it with you guys. Everybody has their own way to express anger.
