Every year, the Sowers from the Novena Church organize Christmas performances for the lovely people of various old folk homes. They sing, they dance and they perform, regardless of whether any of it is understood or completely being watched. Nevertheless, they give whole-heartedly for one reason - the spirit of giving, the spirit of Christmas.
I was part of this once before, and this year I participated again. Twice in 2 weeks we performed in 8 homes. Not all the folks were aware of what was going on, but seeing the joy on their face to have so many visitors, to have a change of events in their day, to see the appreciation in their eyes is priceless. It is one of the best gifts of Christmas - to give to the best of your ability. In one particular home, The Salvation Army, the old folks put their hands in the air and prayed over all of us. It brought tears to my eyes 'cuz it was truly the sweetest thing.
The 2nd outing started out bad though, was at Zouk Out the night before and had hardly gotten any sleep. Pounding head the entire Saturday night, aching knees and shit was carried forward to the next day. You can imagine how grouchy I was. Thank goodness it cleared up and the day ended well. All in all, good job with the dance Val! So proud of you! Thank you for letting me join despite the short time frame we had to work with!
More photos of the 2nd performance, and some from Zouk Out! It was a blast cuz i made Val drink so much for the 1st time in her life, she puked twice! haha. Don't you love me Val? I'm such a bad influence yet you have no choice! But i'm sure we'll always remember Zouk Out. The pre-party at the hotel was more fun than the party itself!
