Nova Prata recollections cont.
Doing these recollections day by day is gonna take me really long ass time. So i'm just gonna compile all memories into one post and repost if i forget any. anyways...
monday, we took a bus ride to serafina, which was about a 2 hour ride. it was so cold outside, that we were advised to bring a blanket into the bus coz it was freezing inside. the first stop was a place (i forget the name) where you can have picnics and swim in the river dam. the next stop was a small theater hall where we watched videos about a place that we were suppose to visit. the small town i believe has a big italian influence...since weather wasn't cooperating, we couldn't visit. after the videos and some coffee and snacks, we went to a skool to watch a performance. there was some dancing and singing. man it was a treat to watch the kids.
while at the skool, oj and i was searching for the restrooms. i think oj had to throw teddy bears into the lake, but didn't go through with it coz the toilettes didn't have seats! yes, didn't have seats. very funny, but felt bad for oj...i guess he held it. ouch!
after the skool visit, we went into town and got a chance to walk around on our own. later on in the evening, it was time for the performance. it was us, the cadburry's and the africans who was performing. we were the first to go on and during itik-itik, there was a brown out (heheh fobby). the fuse must have blown and took the tech crew a long time to figure out the problem. so there was a pause in the show, but rondalla decided to sit on the edge of the stage and play a couple of songs to ease the crowd. man did they love the rondalla. i went out to play one song, then had to return back stage coz we were gonna go on, lights or no lights. again the crowd loved us. bu the time the easter peeps were on, the tech crew got the lights running. it was a fun, but cold day. after the show, it was back to the mission for nations nite.
tuesday, we had a performance in a town called cotipura. we visited a jewelry place, a winery (which by the way has really good wines), and a viewpoint called horshoe? while at the jewlery place, i learned how to whistle using the 'finger in the mouth technique.' i was all giddy that i learned something new....heheh dumb.
that day must have been really the coldest day of the week. at the performance, the interior was freezing and so was the floor. the floor was so cold, that it made my feet numb. it was this performance that i injured my heel during blit. after blit, my heel felt a little weird but didn't think anything of it. so during pandanggo, my heel started to hurt more. but i was during maglaltik that i couldn't bear the pain anymore. during pandanggo and magla, i was dancing on the ball of my left foot. guess during blit, i landed wrong...couldn't really say coz my feet were literally numb. anyways, kuya rudi gave me a helot whickhHURT LIKE HELL! i almost passed out coz my pain threshold was about at its limit. then vince wrapped up the heel with tape and and ice pack. i was kinda scared that i fractured my heel, but bryan was sayin that if i was tolerating the pain, most likely it was a deep bruise or even a contusion. so after the show was over, all the guys helped me pack all my things together and even helped carry me off to the bus. so ronning, manning, vince, christian, bryan, and kuya rudi...thanks a million! i am so grateful for you guys helping me out.
wednesday, all the groups had a day off and we went to the hot springs swimming pool. i did a little heel rehab while in the water. i was trying to apply pressure on the heel little by little to help push away the swelling. boy did it hurt. luckily for the warm water, i was able to stand on my heel for a few seconds.
okay, i'm done for now...will post again laters. sorry for any spelling errors. too lazy to spelll check.
