Ahaha. Okay so last Saturday we obviously played Pump It Up all day. I had just learned to do my freestyle routine for Caution (Don't Bother Me). I have to admit, it felt very sloppy. Neither did I get to do all of the moves I wanted, but I also felt like I was tripping on some of the moves. I dunno maybe I was tired. But the good news is that I got an S rank anyway. It's only about the 3rd time I've ever finished Caution without failing, and I got an S. Heheh. Anyway by now I already feel more comfortable with the routine, but I can't seem to get an S again. Oh well.
I'm nursing a couple of strained elbows. My left elbow hurts in particular. Sort of throbby pain, but not all the time. Oddly it doesn't hurt while I'm dancing. But it did affect my ability to do handstands, as I couldn't get vertical with as much ease as I did last Saturday. So I decided I'm going to take a break from handstands and practice in general just for a couple of days. Or until my arms feel better. I guess my 21 years of not really ever having tried a handstand caught up with me, and now that I'm doing them a lot, my arms aren't used to the kind of effort they have to produce.
Abby seems to have memorized her routine for Valenti. I'm going to help her think of some good choreography, particularly hand movements, to make it look more like a dance rather than just backwards stepping.
My next project will be Koul, simultaneous (?) with making up a duo-routine for Abby and me for BanYa's First Love. I'm looking forward to Koul in particular, because it's an oldskool dj mix song. Would be fun putting oldskool-style moves. But like I said I'm taking a few days off to rest. Hopefully, if God allows it, by Friday I'll already have a routine set-up for Koul. As for me now, I'll try memorizing the stepchart or something.
Oh yeah. There was a really good stepper last Saturday. I rarely ever say this of steppers because I naturally prefer freestylers over steppers anyday, but this one was really good. He looked really intense while playing. He didn't cling to the bar the whole time, and he even got an S in a 16-rating crazy-mode song. I forgot which song though. Best part is probably that he doesn't play just the overused songs. Many of the songs he played I haven't even heard before. That earned him my respect really. Because that means, he's just a guy who's good with his feet and his step-reading skills, who can and will play any song within his difficulty range, *cough* unlike many other steppers out there who can only play like 10 songs total *cough*. All I'm saying is that variety for steppers wouldn't hurt anyone, because honestly, Beethoven's Virus and other such songs are getting old and are starting to hurt my ears.
Okay so off to rest with me. Pray to Almighty God for my speedy recovery.
