A compilation of my tweets on the most anticipated event of the season. Here's the 2015 UAAP Cheerdance Competition in 140 characters (max).

Frustrated cheerleader mode on. #UAAPCDC2015

UP Pep Squad

Um, requirement ba ang ❤? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

It wasn't as clean and as perfect as in years past but they had some wow moments. Very un-UP Pep Squad though, those misses. #UAAPCDC2015

DLSU Animo Squad

That gave me a headache. I guess I'm not the rock and roll type. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

That was really interesting, Animo Squad. Interesting. That's all I can say. #UAAPCDC2015

Ateneo Blue Bubble Battalion

One word. Tanked. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

They weren't good dancers nor good gymnasts either. What were they thinking doing a routine with that level of difficulty? #UAAPCDC2015

NU Pep Squad

It was pretty engaging. Truly. I was hanging on to every toss and flip. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

I like it when a squad sticks to simple stunts, then concentrates on perfecting them for a flawless performance. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

The problem starts when they try to challenge themselves with more. They tend to bite more than they can chew. Then they fail. #UAAPCDC2015

UE Pep Squad

In fairness, UE Pep, that was a hell lot better than I expected of you. You. Surprised. Me! Isn't it amazing? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Adamson Pep Squad

Good dancers, this Adamson squad. A little more polishing here and there, and they will be up there in the podium every year. #UAAPCDC2015

FEU Cheering Squad

So puso talaga? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

"Ay, puso ba 'yon? #UAAPCDC2015"

FEU got the moves, and the skills. Too bad with those errors though. #UAAPCDC2015

"Puso na naman? Valentine's? #UAAPCDC2015"

UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe

Oh, wow! This is spectacular, Gawi! Amazing performance! Super flawless! #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

You made me cry, Gawi. You're back! Old formula is magic. Daanin lang sa sayaw. Because it's what you do best. Good job! #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Nothing's wrong with keeping it simple, and safe. Why complicate a routine with stunts you have trouble executing perfectly? #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Awards, prizes

The most dangerous job for a Star Magic artist: Hosting the UAAP Cheerdance Competition

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

The moment of truth. Here we go. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

Oops. UP Pep Squad is this year's 2nd runner-up. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

1st runner-up is the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe. #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

NU! Wow! 3-peat! #UAAPCDC2015

— Che (@chegeronimo) October 3, 2015

The camera distance made it impossible for me to watch the cheerleaders up close and made me missed the painting job some teams did on their supposed to be joyful, smiling faces. Good thing though because they were definitely nightmare image material.

Congratulations to all the winners this year. Good job, all of you. To the losers, well, there's always next year! Cheers!
