I really reeeeally love David Cook's version of "Always be my baby by Mariah Carey" that I even recorded it straight from my cellphone. =p I love his voice. He could've been the next Chris Daughtry.. gawd, he could have a better career. But I think I like Daughtry better because he's a really nice person.

I think the song helped me to be relaxed to face the next day, besides the fact the I prayed profusely to get through it alive because the next day is the second official practice day in Broadway On Ice alone. Glad, I went through it without looking awkward at practice but before that I had another comprehensive lesson. My coach improved my one foot spin and gave me tips like placing my hand on my head to pull my body up and keep my weight centered. Also he helped me on an a level-higher jump, loop. Lesson was exhausting but it was really good feeling. After that I had a quick dinner with Len and Erwin before I went for practice.

During practice, the whole group in our dance, even the Coach, forgot our steps! Haha. it was hard to recall since it was more than 3 months ago since we last studied it and few of the members are missing so it's difficult to have a spotting of positions but it turned out fine. Everyone contributed a bit of part they could remember and patched it up together, including me! :) And I didn't fall or something during practice. :) I wobbled with the holding-the-kid-part and the kid even asked me if I was okay which is at first I thought kind of embarassing but I realized everyone falls so I put it behind my mind. :) There were a couple of kneeling part and now I have a bruise in my right knee but it was the bruise that I've never been so happy to have because it was a sign of hard work and a job well done but I think next time a knee pad would help. =p

I even had the guts to ask one of the member in our other dance to teach me the steps even I don't really know her personally. Bad thing though, I  haven't memorized it yet.. good thing is we didn't practice it that night. I'll just have to ask her again. =p
I was such in a good mood that even if my cellphone's battery was dead I wasn't too panicky that I won't be fetched instead my parents are waiting for me when I went outside after the practice. I just also came to realize that even if I wasn't in the main dance. It's still all good because I'm still in 2 dances, one of which is a really fun dance because we're with kids. I'll just have to do good in both so that maybe, just maybe, next time I'll get in that grand dance. =p
For the mean time I'll just work hard in being good on my part and enjoy the experience. :)

Today wasn't such a bad day either, it was also fun actually because our team lead was on leave, another is on training and another team member which is a friend and a batchmate, Jen, is on leave also. We didn't have much work to do which is a good thing because we're all in a weekend mood and lazy to work already. ;p Before the day ends, the internal community news was sent in the e-mail announcing another movie night! My bathcmates decided to go together. We even had a meeting or so-called debate on when to watch just so everyone could go. =p I'm so excited that I hope everyone will get to be registered with the agreed date. :) But the date we've chosen was the night I'm going to leave for a vacation in Pagudpod. It was the only date I could go to because the other dates are I'm on vacation already or practice on BOI. I'm thinking it could work out if I'd go home right after the movie ends to catch the bus with friends to Pagudpod.
