"Dance [sic!] for Your Life!"
11 pm. I got a phone call from Ony, asking whether I want to join him and others for the Janger Performance in Santa Cruz this coming Sunday. I honestly didn't expect this to happen, since I have mentioned it clearly, early in my email to everyone in the group, that I want to take a break from all the rehearsals and performances. I want to do something else that I would have done otherwise hadn't I came for the dance activities.
Here's the excerpt from the email I sent a while back:
---------------------------------------------------------------
And I don't want to be a jerk myself by making it such a big issue but I just want to be consistent with my decision. I have decided to stop, and I am going to abide the consequence of this decision. It's not the matter of whether it's easy to just come and do the performance and get it overwith, or it's easy to just loosen up and think of it as the last time but hey, I have decided that the last time has been done, there will be no more last time.
I just hope that everyone understands my decision and respect it. And it would be nice if it's not taken personally. It's nothing against anyone in the team. I love all of them, they're all my best friends. I will just wish them all the best and hope they can make it a succesful performance (and I'm sure, it will be).

Dear all,Ony told me that it he might be the only male dancer in Santa Cruz since other guys will not be able to make it. Well, did they promise that they would make it? If they did, then they're such jerk and I'm sorry for the group. But if they didn't, then who's to blame? No one, really.
I guess after the performance at Stanford, I would like to take a
little break from janger-ing, kecak-ing, and hip-op-ing. It's just
that I feel like doing some other stuff over the weekend (which
increasingly becomes precious after the whole week of working).
Besides, all the performances left are going to be in the night
time, which I'm not really crazy about.
I hope that would be understandable.
I will, however, try to participate at the Indo Day (that, if we are
going to).
Anyway, good luck to all of you who have been so committed to all
practices and performances schedule. See you all on Friday for the
practice.
Regards,
*R
