You've Got Swagger


Oh yeah, uh, uh, oh yeah!

Yesterday Fa, Jen and I attended a trial session of basic hiphop at Brewing Point. I kinda expected it'll be another adventure for me- as in I got lost and the trike driver didn't know where Tierra Pura is! MONEY HUNGRY BASTARD! So instead of taking another trike from where I got off, I decided to walk so I can ask people where I'm supposed to go.

I made it after waaaaaaaalking. Yes, it was a long walk. When I got to Gate 1 of Tierra Pura, I talked to the guard.

'Kuya sa Brewing Point po ako, saan yun?'
Ah Brewing Point. Lakad ka lang ng lakad hanggang makita mo.

HAHAHA NAMATAY AKO. In fairness tama si Kuya. Lakad ka talaga ng lakad. As in I reached Gate 2! I got there just a few minutes before the class started. Our classmates were kids! Well, teens- as in 13-14 ish. And they were better than us! HAHAHA WILD. It's all good though. Our instructor was so chill, (and cute!) and he's got this hiphop accent which suits him so well. Think Rafael Rosell (accent and looks) but definitely Rafael is hotter.

Early in the class we did stretching. Like the longest stretching session I've had. In my mind I wanted to joke 'basic hiphop ba toh or basic stretching?' but since we were newbies, I didn't coz I have no idea how our teacher is like- if he's strict or he welcomes jokes naman.

When we finally started dancing, we were already relaxed. But sometimes when I miss a count, I curse in a soft voice. But the choice of curse was the F word and the kid nearest to Jen and I would look every time I say the F word. Kawawa naman, baka innocent pa so I switched to sh*t thinking siguro naman yung S word alam na nila. Yung F word mejo wild na for their age. Then a little later, the S word was just a mumbling of sounds whenever I made a mistake. "Grrr!" "Aaaagh!"

Prince would tell us form time to time 'relax, just enjoy'. Feeling ko natatamaan ako! hahaha I'm enjoying but of course you'd want to enjoy and do it right at the same time diba? After completing the set he had the girls and the boys alternately do the set. Feeling ASAP XV kami nila Fa. hahaha He also picked students to do the set. Among us, Farrah was picked along with the kids and the girl who was also a newbie.

Super fun! The studio was airconditioned. Akala mo hindi ka pagpapawisan pero wild ha? I'm kinda sad I won't be here in Manila next Saturday for hiphop classes. I'll be in CWC in Naga for a major company meeting so we made up this funny alibi as to why I won't be in class next week.

"Sir, nag-Steve Martin in heels kaya napilayan. Next week nalang daw aattend." HAHAHAHAHAHA HILARIOUS! ( I tried to look for a video to illustrate what steve martin is but I couldn't find one. Anyway, just imagine your body facing the left side. Lift your leg alternately as if marching in place but you have to twist your body to the opposite direction on the fourth count, with only one leg supporting your whole body.)

I found this video though. It's one of Coach Prince's classes in the south. Our class goes pretty much like this. But our studio is nicer! teehee! :)



The thing I hate about not having a digicam is not being able to document everyday happenings in your life- like meeting up with friends, seeing random people or celebrities, or attending fun dance classes. Using the SLR is just too much for everyday stuff.

P.S.
Prince is part of the Philippine All Stars. He's married to an All Star member too. Cute!
