OMG!!!

Hi there...

I am a member of the Alternative Groove. With my great interest and passion to the craft of dance, I hereby adhere to the following core values that the group represents:

RESPECT. I will give high regard to every member of the group and manifest this by putting all the attention that is required when inside practices and strictly follow the bounds of time so as not to waste this vital resource and become as productive as possible. Moreover, I will show the proper treatment to each member of the group.

EXCELLENCE. I will give everything that I got and push to improve more for the love of the craft and show only the best in dancing as one of the greatest forms of human expression. Moreover, I intend to build on an exemplary discipline on how to deal with others and myself so as to show the excellence not only in skills but also in attitude and character.

proACTIVE. I will always be a victor of every circumstance that I would encounter. Whatever crisis I may face, I would always seek to set priorities to my practices most especially in times where my work, studies, relationships and or family become a major hindrance to my full involvement to the group and to the further pursuit on the improvement of my craft.

LOYALTY. I will give my full trust and confidence to the group. I will never attempt to place the name of the group in bad light by spreading any statements that are false and defamatory. Also, I will not be a source of the same nature of statements that would demean other groups.

With my involvement in the Alternative Groove, I hereby signify my full commitment and adherence to the rules and norms that this group observes.

So help me God.

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!
