Shake That Thang!

Since I came to the US to study, I learnt more about myself...about what type of person I am actually. All this while, I always thought of myself as an introvert but in fact...secretly, I am an extrovert! My extroverted self likes to do a lot of things and one of them high on the list is dancing. I love to dance! Especially if I have a good dancing partner who can dance well.

I had been having a really crappy week ever since I fell down on the first and second (yeap!) day of Chinese New Year. Everything seemed to go downhill from there onwards. I wasn't on good terms with my roomie, my friend's ex-girlfriend went emo on him again and a certain someone was getting on my nerves.

Not being in the mood to study, I decided to take some time off for myself. My friend Sam and my classmate Veronica who are part of La Fuerza Latina (LFL) were organizing Salsa Night again. They have it every semester and I missed the last one but I went for the one last spring. I almost did not go because I thought I didn't have a partner/friend to go with. I went with my friend Sean King in the end.

He was my partner for the night and we basically danced the whole night. I learnt the Salsa, Merengue and Bachata. They had a little competition at the end and we decided to take part in it to support our LFL friends. I was having a ton of fun despite the fact that my feet were killing me and I was so tired from dancing. They awarded the prizes and I wasn't optimistic on winning anything because I felt that there were others who were better than us.

Didn't matter what I thought. Maybe I was just distracted a little because my least favorite person came as well and spent the whole time dancing with other girls, and all around me. He didn't even say "Hi!" to me. I think he's a good dancer but I guess maybe his partners weren't as good as him. I had fun nonetheless and spent the whole night ignoring him. Anyways, my partner and I won 1st place!!! It was awesome! I think we make a good team and there's another event coming up on March 7th so I think I'm going to go again. Woot!
