Last Saturday, I went to Cubao for dance practice. You see, there’s this competition in our batch. We are up against 9 sections in the 2nd year, College of Nursing. Hi. I’m a nursing student! I had my godmother take me to Cubao because I didn’t know how to get there. I come from the south, you know. So we rode a bus to Baclaran and then the LRT. We ended up in Farmer’s Plaza. Our meeting place was at Gateway mall. We noticed the large mass of people below the overpass. We realized that that day was scheduled for Willie Revillame’s Willing Willie show at the Araneta later that evening. Moving on, I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes earlier. I had to wait for my groupmates for, like, 3 1/2 hours? I wasn’t at all bothered by their tardiness because I was thinking of the party I will attend that night and also, my full bladder. (I had no idea you had to pay to pee at this mall! Lol) So anyway, only 11 of the 20 dancers made it to practice because some of them are in the province. This is because of the semestral break. Anyway, my classmate’s house is really fascinating! I’ve never seen anything like it! Their house had a portion just for the guests! There are separate rooms for boys and girls. A Jacuzzi is located steps away for the guest rooms. And if you climb up the stairs, you’ll find this swimming pool and this wide room that’s obviously for entertainment. Their house is still undergoing renovations but it already looks great! Their place makes my house look like a nipa hut. Lol. I fell in love with the interior design and the walls. I was surprised to see that their house has hidden cameras. Every move you make is caught on tape. So back to the subject at hand, we danced. First, we had this freestyle dance wherein we “showcased” our “skills.” Only 3 are dancers in the group. I am not one of them. So for day 1, we finished 18 seconds of the routine. I was overwhelmed by this thought because the transitions are so fast! It was really tiring but fan. When the clock reached 5pm, we started getting ourselves together and prepared ourselves for leaving. I needed to get back to my dorm fast because as mentioned earlier, I had a party to attend to. Will tell you all about this on the next blog post. Anyway, I got a little bit lost but thanks to the guard at Farmer’s plaza, I was able to get on the right train and to the Recto station. I am also thankful for this guard in Recto because he taught me where I can ride a jeepney to UST. (Yes, I am a 2nd year nursing student from the UST College of Nursing! That’s two more things you know about me!) I quickly climbed up to the 5th floor because that’s where my room’s at. Showered for 5 minutes then got dressed, rode a taxi to back to recto station and then the lrt for the edsa station where I’ll meet up with my best friend. Okay, this post ends here. Will continue on the next blog entry! :D
