Man it's been a while since my last post. I really want to update my blog more often but I just can't seem to find the time... yeah yeah I know, it's an excuse but really - it's been busy. I've treated this past term's midterms as if they were final exams and I've studied enough that I actually remember everything from my courses even after finals were finished haha... and you know what? it paid off. Marks wise, last term was my best term so far in my university career.
Anyways, enough about school, what else was going on? FlipHop. It's a hiphop dance competition that happens every year at Wonderland on the Philippines culture day. Many teams compete, and they have 2 rounds. The 1st round they pick the top 5 and during 2nd round they pick the winner. The winner receives $1,000 too so it's pretty sweet. This year - there were 13 teams competing and the winner was a team called 'I Rock With The One'. They were on a different league than all other teams and performed really well. That Lycan thing was awesome. However, in my opinion, their style and appearance is very very close to Philippine All Stars.
Our team was called "Identity Crisis" because we didn't know what to call ourselves and we didn't think our style could be labeled as one certain type... plus we really really like the board game too. If you haven't played I highly recommend it. Get it? We were having an "Identity Crisis"? haha =P it's pretty clever and corny if you ask me.
Team Identity Crisis - it was a privilege to dance with you guys!
Despite the fact that we didn't make top 5, I really enjoyed performing with them. Sure it was tiring as hell trying to finish up transitions/formations/choreo at 5 in the morning when the competition was at 3pm but it was worth it. We were the first team up so I was kinda worried but the crowd really loved us :) Too bad I forgot/messed up so many times but it was so much fun to perform. Did I mention that it was really fun? lol. I've watched our performance countless times already... All I have to say is I still have LOTS to learn and improve...
What else? Oh yeah, I've moved to a new place to live for the next year. It's called WCRI. I have a much smaller room than Cardill (my old place) but it's way cheaper and closer to campus. DC is the first thing I see what I leave the place haha. On top of that it also helped me realize that I have so much crap that I don't need. I still have lots to unpack and I plan on doing that for the remainder of this week. Thanks goes out to Warren who got me a free desk from kijiji, it's a nice desk too! Totally worth the cost... aka a numb leg.
Am in Brampton for now, just chillin and getting a good rest. Trying to create some thoughts for an event coming up called OUCH...
