Asia Pacific Dance eXplosion 2008

The competition finally reached it's end of the road. I had given everything for a best shot at the newcomer title, but apparently, it was insufficient. I might have scored the highest score during the semi-finals with another girl, but should have done poorly during the finals since I was given a fourth placing. Well, the match was very much between the 3 girls and I who secured the top 4 placing anyways. Overall, I'm overjoyed for performing in front of hundreds of people, and disappointed with the results for failing the expectations from my teacher and my godmothers including the funniest of them all, Aunt Petrina.

As it was my first time participating in a line dance competition, it really awakened me that I have to do much, much more to be at the top. The amazingly talented dancers there really inspired me to come up with more awkward but creative variations and styles. Modern line dancers should be funky, energetic, innovative and crazy in a way that they should do what that has never been done before. Hopefully, I would be able to bring that to the dance floor the next time. There were a bunch of competitors from Singapore who were really extremely great. It was not unsure that they will bag some championship as they were there to win. To all finalists, congrats on making it that far and doing a great job. Well said, see y'all again in the coming years.
