BEATBOIZ fanatic (for life)

Last night, while I was sipping my coffee, I thought of accessing my friendster to check for some updates and other information. But honestly, such thought was being bogged by a certain form of excitement which I did not know where it was emanating. All I know was that I was experiencing a certain kind of sensation similar to hundreds of caterpillars crawling my veins and into my heart. Can you imagine how mind-boggling it was for me to comprehend? I was pre-occupied trying to decipher the root of its existence. Anyway, I decided to deviate my attention by switching on the TV.

Then, alas, I thought of texting idol. Hesitant as I was for fear that, you know, he will not text me back just like what he had been doing for several times now, I still texted him. To my surprise, he responded immediately. He was telling me that his dance group was already in Gubat for the Power Dance Contest.

Opps, I was quizzical. Did he not tell me back in May 2008 that the contest would be on June 5, 2008. In order to answer my question, I decided to look at the calendar in my cellphone. Unfortunately, it was not there. I texted him back about the veracity of this information. He sounded disappointed at the way I regarded the affair knowing the fact that I was not able to make it to the last contest they participated in Sugod last May too.

I hurriedly confirmed my attendance last night, took a quick bath and sped to Gubat.

Haay, fortunately I came shortly before Jun Dugan led the invocation. I saw the performances and predicted a first place or second-place finish for the beatboiz.

Huwaaw, galing talaga! They had pyrotechnics and some additional props which made their number worthy of my praises. But what really imprinted in my mind was when idol was searching for the sticks which he needed to hold in one of the parts of the dance. Using those sticks, their members had to resemble it to a violin. Hahaha, I was laughing at his facial expression. I could just imagine the panic he went through when he was groping for those sticks. He had to hold them within a very short period of time and when he turned to the first spot he thought the sticks were placed, he could not find it. Hahahaha Panic! Panic! Panic was in the air. But, well, being a pro, he scoured through and got them nonetheless perfectly on time.

They did not participate in the next part of the program which was called "breakdance showdown." I texted him and got a reply: "false hopes, sir. :-(" This response made me smile. It tingled me not because it was a negative reply but because he remembered that word I taught him when he was still my students. I remember texting him that word "false hope" to refer to impossible dreams and aspirations.. But going back to their ignoring that breakdance part, yeah, it was indeed a "false hope" because the participant from Legazpi got the prize for that part. But still, it would have been, in retrospect, a true test of sportsmanship and real skills had they sent a representative to that part such being impromptu.

Anyway, when the program was over, I decided to leave the place. Specially that my CP was already "battery empty". I did not bother anymore to find them and get the chance to talk to them. I immediately texted them when I arrived home. Albeit, I left the place only when I learned they bagged the second place.

Looking back now, I had a good time, a great time. I wanted to take pictures of the performances but, hmm, finally decided not to anymore. Because I thought, what the heck, truth is I was really there.

And as far as I am concerned, I will always be a beatboiz fanatic. For life... Why for life? Kasi, hannga't hindi ako natututong sumayaw ng paris ninyo, I will always be a fan. And take note, based from my scientific calculation (scientific daw oh!), it will require me my lifetime to be able to do that kaya "for life"... nyaaahahaha... Padaba ko kamo... weeeee!!!
