SLOW DANCE
center]


For real, it's been more than 30 years that I danced to a sweet music. I grew up in the big city of Manila, but when I was a , I attended quite a few of the benefit dances in our barrio (hometown in Camiguin, Northern Mindanao). There, I learned sweet dancing. It made me so nervous because I was advised NOT to decline anyone who'd take my hand to offer dance because those men paid the "ribbon" for charity. When I felt that it was getting "tight", I often pushed the guy, with both my hands on his shoulder, showing my discomfort. But when I like them (specially if they smell good...sheesh! I just love it when guys wear nicely scented cologne), then,close contact was okay, but there had to be about 3 inches of body distance, at least ..If it was my BF, then, it's OKAY...hahahaha! I've been to clubs outside of McAllen, TX, and yet, really, no chance to slow dance...Either we're all women on the dance floor, or there's no one dancing to the sweet music anymore....Hayz! ..Oh well, but what do I care?...I've got no special someone to dance with anyway.....I'm just wondering if YOU too, miss the sweet music..

"Have you ever watched on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

Do you run through each day on the fly,
when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

Ever told your , we'll do it tomorrow,
and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,
'cause you never had time to call and say hi?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it's like an unopened gift thrown away.

Life isn't a race, so take it slower,
hear the music before your song is over."

I guess, next time I have a chance, I will request the DJ to play sweet music and ask a "MAN" to dance with me...

 I miss the slow dance. High school very common. Those were the days...
Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

 ELZ,

Dance?? Lets talk about something else Guess I was sleeping when GOD showered the earth the skills in dancing. Perhaps I can try sweet dancing all by myself not to risk stepping on someone else's toes..

Sweet dance is easy...just go left, right, forward, backward, and be hugged

Hello Iris

Sound advice however when I think of happy thoughts, my feet has a mind of its own - prop up into some pillows and sleep whoa..
