Beauty from Ashes 2012 Souvenir Program! props to our very creative layout artist, Ms. Tes Tirol! :) (and that cover girl? hmm.) |
i never felt so excited and soooo nervous at the same time for a show like this before. i've done so many recitals and performances already, but i still felt like this was my first time. i haven't had as intense training as what we had to prepare for this show. my workload wasn't as "loaded" as the previous recital seasons. there's no other choice but to work doubly hard, keeping up with my dancing and teaching, with some admin work on the sides. frustrations hit me for so many times, even as close to the few minutes before the final show starts. inside of me, i knew i wanted to really give out my very best and come out different and stronger than before.
and yes, i knew i did. grateful that God has enabled me to go through all of these, because i won't be able to appreciate everything that comes after. i was touched with every cheer, "congratulations", and all those positive remarks. i was humbled knowing that it wasn't because of my own capabilities, but because of God's never-ending and sufficient grace. all the praises and glory only belongs to God, and Him alone, forever grateful i will just be. :)
on the other hand, i am so proud of my kiddos who performed as well! i didn't expect too much with my little cherubs (coz ya'know, their still this small, haha), i'm just so glad they were dancing on stage and they know what they were doing! nevermind them getting lost with their blockings, haha. and my LCC girls (the young scholars i'm handling) did so well! they were dancing together and pointing their feet, haha!
say hello to my dear angels! |
the scholars from Lord's Christian Circle church that i'm handling! :) |
so glad to be reunited and dancing AGAIN with my high school bestfriend (and twin!), Shekinah Ciudad! <3 |
"To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak."- Hopi Indian Saying blessed and grateful to be dancing with these girls who share the same passion. (hello Bei and Shek!) |
long lost sister! so glad to see Agatha again after two years! she watched during the first night of the show. |
