Spotlight

Dressed-up, butterflies in the stomach, heart pounding loudly…

The music started… Here it goes… It’s showtime!

As we made our first step, everything went abnormal. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know my actions. I can’t sense my brain working; as if I’m just a puppet and someone is pulling my strings. I’m not even aware that hundreds of people are watching our show. All I know is I’m happy; alive and proud. I can hear my every muscles shouting to dance. I can feel the energy coming out of my body – as if been stored for hundreds of years…

As we make the moves, I can’t stop myself smiling… parang buang J
I want this! I’m giving my best!
I don’t know who’s in front of me, nor behind me, or who’s at my sides. I’m making moves automatically, as if someone programmed my every action.
I love this! I’m at the peak of my confidence! Don’t care on the surroundings…

Haaaaaaaaaaa!

That’s our last position, our final formation.
My senses begin to work. I can see now the hundreds of people, I can see the judges, I can see our very own Daddy Raul. I can now feel the presence of each and everyone around me.
The show ended. What just happened?

We took our bow. That’s it.

Now I understand, I can’t feel my own senses because at that very moment, our team is one.
…and that made us the CHAMPION!
