So i guess this is my last blog for 2008. This year was a good year. I wont say it was the best because i'll probably end up saying that again next year. But yeah this year was the year i started to explore dancing more. Opened up towards the local dance community and i like it. Can't wait to see what the future has in store for me.

Anyways this year made a lot of new friends, Got my G2, expanded my sneaker collection, changed up my "swag", went to wonderland 2 times and didnt eve ride 1 single ride, kirby road and old finch missions, late night korean grill, racing on hwy 7, all the blazing ahahaa, working 6 days a week 9 hours a day, all the debuts, downtown missioning, essence mvmnt, gns workshops, florida, tattoos, girlicious live@much, MMVAs, Circa, skipping night school, ohh man too much to even write down.

So can't wait to see for what 2009 has instore; 18th Birthday, Gigi Workshop, C2 GNS, Prom, Trip to LA, Florida/Philippines?, G License/my own car, Grad, etc...

So here are just some photographic memories of 08. Thanks to everyone who made a big impact. By the way not done with the pictures yet gonna add a few more before the night ends.

















Current Song: Poison - Bell Biv Devoe

Slept over at Chris Viet's last night. Played PS3 till 4 am. COD World At War. Ilao was supposed to wake up at 8 so we could leave but i ended up leaving at 11. Got home and got ready to meetup Micha and Jezer at downsview. Went downtown with them, checked the usual shops and looked around for Micha's Christmas gift. Got her a pair of vans at Get Outside. Then went to New Era and saw Angel working and she gave me the last Philippine New Era fitted (thanks Angel by the way for the hookup). Micha bought it for me as my Christmas gift. Thanks hommieeee! Sadly Jezer didnt get to buy his headphones. Anyways met up with Ilao after and went to Nathan to skate. Met Trika and Nikki. Headed off to eatons and ate toonie tuesday and saw Stephen, Kenneth, Francis and Bredon. Then loafted again and saw mark. Headed home afterwards and Ilao, Nikki and Trika walked me home. Never knew they lived right behind me. Pretty cool.

Anyways chill day. New years eve tomorrow soo time to party it up!

Tuesday - Circa. Went clubbing. Head was killing me from work soo i didnt get to enjoy it as much.

Wednesday - Fam Jam

Thursday - MERRY CHRISTMAS! BTW, anyone down for boxing day shopping tomorrow?
Summarizing my week:

Wednesday - Nightschool with Pam. Skipped the second half and went to dufferin mall.

Thursday - Economics test period 1 (got a 97% on it), cheated off Pam and other people. Bombed the calc test, so probably gonna drop it and take data in nightschool. Skipped 3rd and went to yorkdale with pam, alyssa and emmie to get my sister's xmas gift and put it on hold. Went back to yorkdale after and bought her gift, met up with chris and gilbert and went to vaughan mills. Saw jaye, and justin working. Copped a jordan outfit for my baby cousin. And the chilled with micha during her break and caught up to date with her.

Friday - Meetup, traded my black and gold 1s for money cat highs and bics. Then went to GNS with justin, danny and jasmine. Short workshop due to the weather. Diamond's routine was dope. Then went with everyone to Pho to eat dinner. After dinner chilled at eatons and went home.

Saturday - Work, got an award at work for my contributions. Got home and just chilled for the rest of the night. YURI AND TAEKO WORKSHOP TOMORROW CANT WAIT!

So Erik Saradpon wrote on my wall the other day. Pretty surprised he actually replied. So now thats 2 of my favourite choreographers that posted on my wall. Anyways saw this new So Real Cru video. Andrew Baterina is still on my top favourite choreographers.


Friday - GNS Workshop. Made my first select group for Forteau's routine. Then learned justin's routine which was pretty dope. Then after that went to our traditional mcdonald's meal after practise. Chilled at eatons with Jaye, Justin, John, Jayare, Jasmine, Gabrielle and Danny. Took a whole bunch of pictures. (too lazy to put em up soo just check their blogs lol). Oh, and jaye got a whole bunch of FREE abdc tickets, which i was pretty bummed out about since i paid for mine but s'all good.

Saturday - Decided to sleep in instead of going to work because i thought we were gonna go to line up for the ABDC tour early which didnt happen. Found out So Real Cru wasnt gonna come which sucked but whatever. Pam came over and then we met up with Jasmine, Greg, Alyssa and Chris. Went to sherbourne and waited for Ella (thank you for the ticket btw). Met up with Alex and Leslie and headed off to the Kool Hous. Waited in line for maybe 30 minutes. Got in and paid for coat check which me and pam tried to avoid doing by wearing thin jackets but ended up using the coat check. Show was pretty dope. Fanny Pack was pretty entertaining. Supreme Soul killed it. and Bionic pointed and nodded at me when i yelled his name. Super Crew did their ballin' routine which was my fav out of all of theirs. Shook all of their hands and most of supreme soul's and a few of fanny pack's. Went to mcdonalds after the show and chowed down on my usual 10 nugget meal. then headed home. dropped pam at downsview, then we found out the last train left 4 minutes after we got there. got a ride from her to wilson. then got picked up. Still wondering what would have happened if i dropped ella to her station and then the last train left. I'd be stuck in scarbs. ahaha. anyways dope day. Pictures below.

Sunday - Work. After work decided to call up my long lost cousin in new york. Well he's not really lost its just he was adopted by a family. Called his house and then his mom asked who i was and i said i was his cousin from canada then she asked for my name and i said Andrew Bautista then she said i got the wrong number. Looks like she doesnt want me to reunite with him. but s'all good i understand her perspective.

ABDC Tour Pictures Courtesty of Ella:






Got my laptop yesterday. Early christmas gift. =)




Sam Mitchell fired from the Raptors and Jay Triano the head coach for now. Lost by 30 points to Denver which was pretty sad. On the side note Essence didn't make it on ABDC it sucks but that means more workshops for us. Got my ABDC Tour in Toronto ticket. Oh and GNS workshop on friday was pretty dope. Made a new friend. Mike's routine was pretty cool and Chris' workshop was great. Wasnt sure what to expect but pretty dope.

Anyways my new pickup:

Decided to cop these. Since they were cheap. Lighting throws em off in this pic especially in the toebox area. But anyways here it is. Tiff laces look pretty dope imo.
