tic..tac..tic..tac...
What happened before the final minute? I spend half of my sunday practicing for the show. I arrived around 3pm at Metro lifestyle where the final rehearsal was conducted. Other dance groups like the Jazz up, Groove Unlimimted, Faces, Infinity were also in the area to practice the flow of the show. All groups showcased cool dance routines that will surely leave an awe after hitting the dance floor. As for me...I danced with the Alternative Groove dance troupe after being invited by Christopher "Tupang" Nellas days ago. (Thanks for the opportunity!^^)
The final rehearsal ended right on time. Our group spend some extra time to do further rehearsing. We need to polish the dance routine mounted yesterday where we also spend fun 8 hours at UIC bonifacio. The practice finally ended, it is about time to go to the area to do the show.
Upon arriving, the sky was like a bulk of enclosed water that is about to leak. I then got the feeling that moments from now... it will rain.
But still, we prepared ourselves. With my other group mates.. we went to the dressing area and changed our clothes, do make-up and fixed our hair. Everything was ready... (I am ready..^^)
But uh-oh... RAIn POureD DOWn >_< hahay.. stranded in the dressing area...
Other dance groups looked for a shelter. Some were on the huge dome comfortably sitting, others were on the stage standing, a few were on a tent sitting silently, and all were patiently waiting for the rain to stop. 6:30 passed by and still the rain didn't stop. Minutes passed 6:30, the rain slowed a bit but the floor was a total dump. Will the show go on given the scenario? the decision relied on the group leaders.
BEFORE the decision, the organizers gave us a descent meal. :D I had chicken, bihon, rice and a canned softdrink.... weeee... enough to stuff my hungry tummy. BURP!
By 7pm.. the decision was announced to us. We were informed that the show is postponed knowing the scenario of the area. It is moved next sunday (July 26, 2009), 6:00pm. Hmmmm... SOUNDS GREAT!!!! :D
For me, it is a blessing in disguise! :P I will then have a week to master the routine and more time to polish the dance (-.^) Thanks Lord! See you next week guys!
