Junnis recently took up belly dancing, and she's asked me to download some Youtube vids and convert them so she can view 'em at her liesure. Here's an interesting one showcasing the 'belly roll' technique to the tune of Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing in the Name Of'.

 | cool...but gross! hahaha! |
 | haha, it is kinda weird ain't it? she must've had her bottom rib taken out or something, lolz. |
 | sighs wrote on Nov 19, '07 you scared me. i thought this vid was going to be something about killing in the name of belly dancing. >.< but it's not so. anyway.
wow. that is some excellent core control! and i've wondered for so long how shakira moves her belleh! wonder if i can learn belly dancing just for the sake of being able to hold my tummy in so i look kinda thin hahaha. |
 | nyahaha! you crack me up again! wow. killing in the name of belling dancing. goodness that's hilarious.
shakira is actually my girlfriend junnis' idol! she loves her to bits. it's the moves! she's mesmerizing. anyway, you're in hula town, why don't take up hula dance?! it's kinda similar, but i think hula has a lot of constant shimmy-ing. |
 | sighs wrote on Nov 19, '07 yes, shakira's great! but far from my idol naman, hahaha. hula... hmm. i heard it was quite a workout, pero im guessing tahitian (the one where they shake their hips at the freaking speed of light or something) would be the best fat burner lol.
and well. you cant blame me! you cant! ive seen worse to doubt my first instinct was not right, lol. god, those videos really put you in a different perspective, >.< they make you paranoid. (referring to videos you were smart enough [or in your words, too much of a pussy] to not view) |

hay kasi, puro morbid vids pinapanood, yan tuloy! magbabad ka sa carebears to balance things out, hahaha. |
 | hahahaha now i'm thinking dina or the modern form that does not conform to rules being popularized by a slew of rachel brice shows. |
 | haha, i know, it's such a traditional dance things like these are a refreshing shot in the arm. i guess sorta like ballroom dancing modern tunes. btw, that rachel brice gal is hypnotic! i'll share that with my girlfriend para may bago ulit siyang idol, hehe. oh, and who's dina? |
 | lol dina's popular in the middle-eastern world and considered great. rachel gets more exposure as part of the western culture's internet-celeb blitz. |
 | oh i see. what's here last name? i'll search for her too. i wouldn't have pegged you for a belly dancing fan raph, haha. |
 | anaconda! combantrin lang ang katapat ng girlash na ito. |
 | What the fuck man? One of the best rock songs in the 90s is now being used for belly dancing?? |
 | aw c'mon chris! would you complain if a sexy lady did that in front of you? aangal ka pa ba?! hahaha. hay, but knowing you, i guess this is the equivalent of randy couture using britney spears' 'baby one more time' as his entrance music, lolz. |
 | haluuuu miss you too, and junnis din of course! :D balita pag nagawa na 'to ni junnis ha. haha, di mo naman kailangang ipost, kahit kwento lang. haha. :D |
 | sighs wrote on Nov 19, '07 oh my god i got the reference! unbelievable! hahaha.
and wow that's a silly thought. |
 | j007m wrote on Nov 19, '07 I wasnt able to finish the video...nah i didnt dare to finish it! eeewwwie!!! hahahaha. she's a good belly dancer (thinking that belly rolls are hard to do) but...it's weird! |
 | @Ryder: LOL, Randy would never come out with Britney's music. The worst entrance music that I've ever heard in the UFC is Mirko Crocop coming out with Duran duran music. Hahaha |
 | @ryder, we have a lot of magrebian joints here, add that to the fact that geneva is like a small nyc. cosmopolitan with tons of culture around due to the fact that the city population is only about 1/4 swiss and 3/4 international mix. lollers. you can watch autehntic belly dancing daily if you want to. i don't know dina's last name but she's in posters everywhere when her clones are in europe. |
 | applause, applause... i guess you've been reading chris' ufc stuff eh? |
 | hahaha, some of us humans can do some pretty freaky things i guess! and yes, those belly rolls she does are pretty advanced techniques i think. |
 | wow, new wayb! hahaha, i hope in brock lesnar's debut he'll come out to rick astley or the pet shop boys, lolz. |
 | oh, i see, i see. didn't know it was popular there. it's pretty niche here. in fact, there are only 4 professionally certified belly dancing instructors in the WHOLE country. sabi ko nga, pag magaling na gf ko, siya maging 5th and earn some extra raket money! haha. |
 | sighs wrote on Nov 19, '07 thank you thank you. yes, im oddly drawn to half naked men wrestling and punching each other. i find it rather... exciting. :)) |
 | just like argentinian milongas, brazilian samba clubs and muay thai gyms. hahahaha. but belly dancing has been around since the time of napoleon or the french colonisation of north africa. |
 | It seems so hard to do. errr... did she had tummy aches after a dancing session sir? |
 | right, right! which is why something like this is refreshing. so sorry chris for bastardizing your precious rock song! hahaha. when she gets good, i'll convince my girl to 'cover' something with her moves and youtube it! lolz |
 | it certainly is! i dunno bout the tummy aches. i guess she's probably immune to that judging from her skill level. |
