Reminiscing My PEP Squad Moments

National University makes history as they bagged the most-coveted spot during the 2013  UAAP Cheer Dance competition that was held at the SM Mall of Asia on September 15, 2013. This was their first win for the said event. A lot of people were anticipating for UP to reclaim their title but there were a lot of faults in their performance. Second place for UP is not bad though I was expecting DLSU to be on second place. I was not expecting for UP to be in the top 3. What I love about UP was their costume. Looks like very designer for me. I wonder if they were tailored by Cinco or Libiran or Tolentino. Hahaha. 

National University has emerged as the clear winner of the competition. I am not technically inclined with the cheer dancing rules but their routine was very strong. Their stunts, tumbling, pyramids and choreography were just over the top. Their stunts were perfectly executed and they've showcased something new, something has not been done before and I guess that's what impressed the judges. In a competition like this you need to be innovative and creative. Using the same routine makes it boring. Watch the video here:

This reminds of me of a time in my life when I joined the pep squad during my Sykes days. I really didn't had a choice 'coz the support team needs a representation to battle out with the agents in the different segments. I was really hesitant but during the process, I realized it was fun. I remember we would use the sleeping room to practice our dance moves every after shift. We hired a coach and we had our costumes done (which I remember was red and white). I was really quite excited. Sometimes when I think of those moments, I was like. OMG! did I really do that? Did I really do the tumbling? Hahaha. Most memorable part was being on top of the pyramid. Since I was the skinniest among all, I remember stepping on the legs of two girls as I flaunt the banner of our team during the finale. I was on top of the world! Wahahaha. Should I be proud? or should I be embarassed?...But seriously, that was fun! I wish I could find the pics and the vid.
