Filipinos in Thai looks and in Thai dancing...a once in a lifetime experience

Last June 28, 2006 it's "Sun Tha Pu Day". Every school in Thailand, have programs on their own celebrating this day. We Filipinos (Ate Venus, me and Smile) didn't expect that everybody's entertain by the presentation we made. We just practice a day before the presentation! Ate Venus belonged to a dance troupe before when she's in Cebu. And she's really is still a great dancer! Some students taught her the Thai dance and she just taught us after then. Simple steps, yet very hard and we ourselves was overwhelmed by their reactions. Even just going to the backstage students were asking to take picture here, there and everywhere with us! A one day star!...hahaha! Actually it's a surprise number for everybody. So thus, not only them were happy to see us dancing their own traditional dance, we did too. Seeing everybody's happy, clapping their hands joining the rhythm of the music, was an overwhelming feeling. Though we didn't wish to do such dancing, but to pay also all the goodness that teachers are doing with us, I realized then that it's such an opportunity too to pay in return by granting their request to make over the Thai looks, Thai dress, Thai accessories and the Thai dancing as well. They provide everything, like the make-up by a make-up artist, and the head of the Thai department provide the dress for us and the very good Thai dancer students who taught us how to dance! All were given to us. All we have to do is to give a surprise number for them.

It was such a once in a lifetime experience. A blessed day. Thanks to GOD for all the blessings and for the blessings that are yet to come.

My new school, NAKHON PHANOM WITTAYAKOM SCHOOL, my new hometown. A peaceful nice beautiful blessed place to live in.
