25 Jun 2008 Abby’s Stage Debut
 |  Category: All About Abby

I’m not a self-proclaimed stage mommy for nothing. :)   To me, everything Abby does or says, is blog worthy. :D   I just have to restrain myself sometimes. 

Abby’s latest blog worthy moment, one of a grander scale, was her dance recital.  She started attending weekly dance classes through Kinderdance in September.  It was in early November when I posted Abby’s 1st video in dance class.  And then, I posted a few more pictures and a very short video clip in one of my holiday entries.  Abby has come a long way since these earlier videos and photos.  Like every other child her age, she still has to work on focusing.  Hee hee.  You’ll see what I mean when you watch the video. 

O sige na nga, ito na.  If you have about 10 minutes to spare, I promise you, it’s going to be all worth it. :D   Please excuse the sound which is rather sabog.  I think it was the overall soundsystem really and not my camera.  Hee hee.  Napadaldal na naman ako…here it is for your viewing pleasure…Abby in her dance recital…

What do you think?  I’m only accepting praises.  Hahaha!  Did you notice how at one point in the finale number, Abby had to take a closer look at the little girl next to her who wasn’t dancing?  I find that hilarious.  It makes me laugh every single time!  And it wasn’t I whom you might have heard sing “star” ahead of the song when the girls were dancing “Swinging on a Star”.  It was the lola behind me.  I just had to make that clear. :P

That’s all folks.  I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Enjoy the rest of the week!

    that was my and ninna’s most enjoyable ten minutes on your blog ever! :D nakakatuwa naman si abby, sa ballet, sobrang conscious sa kanyang feet in first position, haha! ang ganda-ganda ng porma niya and she really has the potential to be a prima someday, mark my words. :)

    by all means, naku please do not restrain yourself sa pag-showcase ng talents ni abby! meron kang “k” dahil you’re a mom with an super cute and talented and smart daughter, she deserves to be the star of your blog talaga! and besides, nasisiyahan talaga akong makita si abby as she crosses milestone after milestone. feeling ko stage tita na rin ako sobra, hehe.

    bravo, abby! soon, yung next video na ipo-post ni mommy ay performance mo na sa lincoln center, wow! great job! *muah*

    Hi (doting) Tita Meeya! I’m glad both you and Ninna enjoyed Abby’s performance. Hee hee. Nakakatawa nga how she would consciously make sure she was on her spot, which was marked by an x using blue tape at ang first position sa ballet at ang toe-heel sa tap. Because I was the one filming it, hindi ko talaga napanood yung ibang bata except Loren, the girl beside Abby.
    I’m looking for a more formal dance school. Pero bahala na. Gusto daw mag-gymnastics at ice skating. Hee hee!

    Oh and don’t you worry, si Abby pa rin ang bida dito! Hahaha! ;)

    hi Weng, natawa naman ako sa intro ng post mo. heehee.
    “I’m not a self-proclaimed stage mommy for nothing. :) To me, everything Abby does or says, is blog worthy. :D I just have to restrain myself sometimes”….

    sino bang Nanay ang hindi? mukhang lahat tayo ganyan. haha!

    ang galing galing naman ni Abby sa recital nya. she bloomed into being a very graceful ballerina. ;)

    Hi Feng! Oo nga, sino bang nanay ang hindi stagemommy?! I’m sure kung meron man, konti lang sila. Saka how sad, diba? Nyahahaha!

    Abby has always loved dancing kahit noong mas bata pa siya. Kaya mahilig din siyang manood ng mga dance shows. Sa Pinas, yung show ni Lucy Torres sa Channel 5 ang gustung-gusto niya? Ano nga ba title nun? Nakalimutan ko na! Hahaha!

    super cutey naman ito..dapat talagang ishare! napakagaling nya magsayaw!!! kanino nya nakuha ang talent na ito??? at memorized nya lahat ng steps..no wonder tinitigan nya ang katabi nya na ayaw magsayaw!!
    bravo abby!!way to go!!!

    Hi Dang! I love Miguel! Hahaha! Marunong kumilala ng prinsesa. ;) I’m sure turo ng discriminating mommy! Hahaha!

    Ang talent sa pagsayaw ay malamang nakuha sa ama. :D Pero hindi naman matigas ang katawan ko ha, promise! :D Yung dance teacher nila was near the stage doing the steps with them. Naku, magkakagulo sila kung walang paggagayahan! Hahaha! I’m glad you and Miguel enjoyed the video, Dang! Mmmwah!

  5. [...] :)   Can you sense the ticklish delight in my greeting!  ;)   First, I have to ask, have you seen Abby’s recital video yet?  No?! *gasps wide-eyed in total shock*  My oh my!  *still open-mouthed*  Go check it out [...]

    Weng, naku I can’t view this video from the office. I’ll have to come back and see it. Mukhang enjoy pa naman.

    Hi Keith! The video will be here waiting for you. No worries! Hahaha! :)

    weng, thanks for sharing, i had so much FUN watching the video!
    cuteness overload talaga ang mga dancing little girls. sobrang natawa ako sa tap dance nila, nakakatuwa!

    ang cute nga ni abby, and i’m sure ikaw yung tumatawa na naririnig ko. hehe

    Hi Odette! You’re welcome and thank you for watching the video! I’m glad you had fun! I had to try hard to keep from giggling and laughing too much because for the ballet part, I was the one filming the video. :) Uy, for the records, may stagemom and stagelola din sa likod ko na malakas tumawa. Hahaha! :)

    omg!!! the video was so enjoyable! hilarious! (don’t smack me for saying that! hehe i meant that in a good way, hokey?) thank you so much!!!

    putek tawa ako ng tawa dito para akong baliw! good thing nasa bahay na ako! lol.

    may mga moments si abby na ang basa ko sa ginagawa niya ay ganito: “hmp, bahala kayo diyan di ko feel ang ginagawa niyo kaya mag-may i dance ako ng sarili ko.” hahahaha!

    naks naman meron siyang shining star moment! lahat ba sila pumunta sa gitna at nag-pirouette? hehe! galing!!!! ang lakad pa niya nun parang sinasabi niya, “hah! look at me! this is how you should do it!”

    meron din siyang nakatabi sarap sipain. nang-aagaw ng space eh. ang layo layo ng naabot samantalang ang liit liit naman na bata.

    hahahaha at super funny talaga yung tinitigan niya yung katabi niya na para bagang gusto niyang sabihin na “hoy, may katok ka ba? nandito tayo para sumayaw, ate! sayaw na! ano pang tinatanga tanga mo dyan!” hehehehe!

    this is the best vid ever!!!! well, the vid where she was singing and made some weird noise was hella funny too! tie sila nitong vid na to for number one. lol.

    bruuuu, may surprise ako sayo!!! hehe wait ka lang dyan.
    ay teka, ikaw ata ang may surprise sa akin. mwehehe! tenkyu tenkyu! *biiiiiiiiiiig huuuug*

    Hi Bru! Wala ka talagang kasing baliw! Hahaha! :) I’m glad you enjoyed this video. May mga “may I dance my own dance” moments nga si Abby…as well as the other girls. And yes, all of them had a solo of sorts. Pero siyempre, hindi ko na pinag-aksayahang kunan ng video yung iba, ‘no! Sayang space sa SD card! Hahaha! :P

    Natawa naman ako sa na-imagine mong iniisip ni Abby sa katabi niya! She’s not from Abby’s dance class eh kaya sa last part lang sila talaga nagkasama. Hindi talaga nag-ballet ang batang yun. Sa tap nagsayaw ng kaunti. Pero sa finale, parang nabigla siya dun sa isa pa niyang katabi. Did you notice? Parang titig na titig siya dun. Hahaha!

    Salamat sa surprise! Ahlavet! Big hugs to you, too! :)

    so cute! I can really see the future ballerina in her! looks to me that she really knows what she’s doing compared to the girls beside her. You have to enroll her in a real dance school! what yah waiting for!

    Well, if you or Abby need some ballet advise…hey…here’s tita betbet and tita aileen just few miles away to give her some tips (naks naman!). I know I’m not lean anymore(man…those were the days…) but anyway I didn’t say show her some moves…only tips! maybe Ate can…but…nah! damn forgot about her back problem! but anyway, we’ll try!

    keep it up! good luck!

    Hi Bet! E siyempre you’re a doting Tita to Abby kaya you have a biased opinion!..in the same way that I’ve already become a doting tita to MMM and WJR. :D I’m going to sign Abby up in a real dance school. Don’t yah worry! Uy, mas type ko if you and Ate Aileen show Abby “the moves” instead of tips. Siyempre you have to show her the perfect example, diba? I’ll take a video! Hee hee! Thanks for dropping by! I’ll pick up Abby’s sandals before we go on our trip. Hee hee! :P

    this is a glorious moment for Abby and mom. You should be proud. Ang galing galing. Both the recital and the production of the video.
