Too much is going on.

Sofia Snow and Kelsey Van Ert are now home in the United States of America. Dominique Chestand and I have moved in with our friends and will be on a plane June 12th headed to the U.S.

I now live in a home with a mom. It's weird because this whole time we have been living with eachother = other students/FWers/young adults. I am now in a home though. I feel home a little bit. Don't get to comfortable Alida.

Anyways, hoy I went to Los Andes shopping center with Yanneth (momma). She wanted to buy me sandalias as a going away gift but, I didn't pick any out. I don't need going away gifts. They are a beautiful thought. But, I would be fine with a hug, or a look into some eyes. She said she will get me some before I leave. "Te vas a ver." After that we went to El Costo which is a department store type of deal and I was looking at jeans. Now, I'm going to tell you some honest truth. There are not many pairs of pants in this country that are not BEDAZZLED! They either got metal shapes, fake crystals, glitter, or a combination of all three somewhere on the dang pantalones. Just when I think I find a good pair of jeans I turn them to the back to give em the ultimate test and NONE EVER PASS!! I always find some dang sparkling silvers or golds embroidering the butt pockets.

Today I must have got lucky because you see, I found a pair of jeans that was fly on the front. And when I gave em the test there wasn't any glitter to be found. I ran em to the changing room and they fit! Well, that's a lie. They almost fit me. And I woulda bought em too. The thing was that my posterior was not comfortable in those particular pantalon. I know, I know! I thought I was in a country of like-behinded people too! Well, that just goes to show... What does it show exactly?! I don't know, I'm just messing with ya. I learned...um...that...um... -- aw here it goes, I was reminded why I never bought any clothes here the entire year! Shoo...

P.S. I love Panama despite their bedazzledness.

Bboying PA

BBOYING PA (bboyingpa.com) is the website for the break community here in Panama. They keep you updated with videos, fotos, and commentary of the latest breaking events. It's run by breakers so it's no institutional bullish. Check out they fotos from Back 2 Da Scene and they article too (below)!
Eran las 12 del medio día y el Gimnasio comenzaba a llenarse de la gente esperando para entrar, entre las puertas y la gente se podía apreciar al Full Style Crew preparando todo para el gran evento de Aniversario del grupo (los trofeos, los banners, los certificados).
El evento contó con mucho apoyo y patrocinio. Se dio inicio al evento con una gran coreografía de Hip Hop por el grupo “507 Flow”. Tras eso el Mc Madhav anunciaba la tómbola para organizar las batallas del 4vs4.
Diversos crews de toda la geografía nacional formaron parte de la alineación:

* TNT CREW
* KILLER CREW
* WEST BBOYS
* FELIPILLO
* HOLLY DANCING
* THE ONE
* BLESS
* 8D
* ENIGMA
* MONSTA WEST
* WEST CREW
* UD.

La música estaba a cargo del Dj Gafeto de Costa Rica, quien no escatimo esfuerzos en complacer todos los gustos a lo largo de todo el evento. También lo apoyaron Dj Ras y Dj Longdayzjourney de Panamá.

Dio inicio la primera ronda de las batallas quedando 6 grupos para la semifinal, los cuales iban a ser evaluados por Puntos, para sacar a los dos mejores puntajes y llevarlos a una ronda Final, de 5 salidas por grupo.
La final se llevo acabo entre UD Crew de Santiago y 8D Crew de Panamá, quedando como Ganador 8D Crew, quienes al final del Evento alzaron el trofeo (Hecho por Bboy K-daver de Full Style Crew) y sus respectivos certificados que los acreditaban como ganadores del Evento principal. A lo largo del evento se llevaron acabo otras batallas:

* Top rock (ganador Bboy ManOfGod)
* Footwork (ganador Bboy Cash)
* Power move (ganador Bboy Chata)
* 7 to Smoke (ganador Bboy ManOfGod).

El evento era una celebración de Hip Hop y estuvieron presentes los 4 elementos, El bboying, Mc Battles, Graffiti, y Dj.
Todo el evento fue una gran fiesta, una integración de todos los elementos del Hip Hop reunidos con la emoción de un publico fascinado y artistas invitados como Latin Fresh, Kenny man, La Orquesta del F, entre otros, quienes ayudaban a mantener la fiesta en movimiento.
Felicidades a Full Style Family por esta gran celebración y sigamos apoyando el Hip Hop de Panamá, que cada día esta mas fuerte!

Article about Back 2 Da Scene with fotos n everything.

El domingo 23 de mayo el Hip Hop reunió todos sus elementos (Graffiti, Djs, Breakdance y Mc's)en el Back 2 Da Scene 2, en el Gimnasio Yuyin Luzcando de Bethania.

Es el segundo año que se realiza este evento, en el cual jóvenes de todas partes de nuestro país se reúnen para celebrar y competir de la mejor manera y mostrar todo su talento en el breakdance, artes con grafitti y la buena improvisación de los MC's.

En el BACK 2 DA SCENE 2 hubieron competencias de mc´s 1 vs 1, footwork 1 vs 1, power moves 1 vs 1, top rock 1 vs 1 y la competencia 4 vs 4, donde la final estuvo muy reñida entre URBAN FLOW y 8D CREW, pero el grupo de jueces
conformados por Bboy Funky, Bboy Chosen, Bboy Cadaver, Bboy Master D, Bboy Peko, Bboy Wellinton y Bboy Joel, todos integrantes de Full Style Crew, le dieron el primer lugar a 8D CREW.

Fué toda una celebración que se vivió ese día, y gracias a la iniciativa de grupos como Full Style Crew, la cultura Hip Hop, el talento y esfuerzo diario que le dedican cada uno de los jóvenes, se da a conocer cada vez mas y demuestra que es un estilo de vida lleno de arte y talento, el cual debería ser más aceptado y apoyado en nuestra sociedad.
En el evento también hubieron artistas invitados como: La Orquesta del Freestyle, Kenny Man y Latin Fresh.
Pronto le tendremos la video-cobertura de todo lo que sucedió en el BACK 2 DA SCENE 2.

BACK 2 DA SCENE 2

This past Sunday was BACK 2 DA SCENE! It was celebrating the anniversary of FULL STYLE CREW. Full Style is probably the largest crew here in Panama. They got all the elements represented as well, except a DJ, which I think is mad tight. This event is an annual thing that just celebrated its second year. The idea for it is to provide a place for all the elements of Hip Hop to come together as a community. It's a place where everyone can be reminded of what elements contribute to our Hip Hop culture. Eddie aka Bboy Funky and his brother Luis Ricardo aka Bboy Master D were the main organizers but, the event would def not have been made possible without the help and support of hundreds, especially the hosting crew. Full Style Crew was Staff for the event and even made the FLYEST trophy for the winners of the 4 vs. 4 battle. There were plenty prizes. Not only would you get a framed certificate sort of thing but there was gift certificates for Supra and Ecko. I mean, we don't really rock Ecko much anymore in the states but they def be gettin it here!

In addition, there was mad ill fly dope things going on: MC battles, a Hip Hop dance crew performed, a Graf mural was being made live, 5 DJs was gettin it, there was a power move contest, 7-to-smoke, toprock, footwork, 4 vs. 4, Latin Fresh performed, so did La Orquesta de Freestyle, plus the fact that the whole thing was just plain BEAUTiFUL.

We got to kick it wit everyone, and afterwards we kicked it some more by cleaning up at the event and then going to Kazy's crib to chill. It was over all, a blessed night. One of those you reminisce on. Tear. Well, hey, check out some fotos. Thanks to Tania, Kevin Morales, and Rodrigo for the fotos. They fly.
