Belly Flapping

AT THE UAAP...
As I channel surfed, I chanced upon the UAAP cheering competition. One thing that made me laugh really hard was when an Atenean cheer dancer came cartwheeling to the front row in the center of the formation. She landed perfectly on her feet once in front but low and behold...I SEE BELLY FLAPPING!!!! She looked as if she was 5 months pregnant! And it was the least expected thing for me to see especially in a cheering competition! What made it worst was that...she wasn't the only one doing belly flaps! Her co-cheer dancers as well had their share of the belly flapping! Belly dancing may be the new craze in town but they surely aren't a sight to behold in cheerleading competitions!

ON A SERIOUS NOTE...
Amids the belly flapping, I was pretty impressed with all teams because I can now see that the standards for cheerdancing has really elevated. A lot of the music mixing was done well and I could see more variety in their pyramid formations. What a sight it was for me to see the boys of my alma mater's pep squad actually dancing! Of course the other schools would always get away with the medals as they usually send their dance troupe, and not pepsqaud, to do their cheering routines. No rules against that but it would be a fairer game if they did send their pep squad instead of dance troupe. Guess its all about the money then isn't it?

I suggest watching the Japanese Cup in the Japanese channels. They are really really good! Their routines are super in sync!!! They even have cute cheerdancer outfits on!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...
I better start working out on my abs again! Hehehe!
