Pick a moment ...


Jiggles have always enjoyed dancing. As a little ballerina, Jiggles became fairly flexible. In Korea the education system was strict-- not so much when you're young though. Around the age 5 to maybe 6, you had some freedom. So did Jiggles. She was shy, and she did not enjoy speaking out loud in class. Jiggles was tired and had to pee. She patiently waited for the ballet instructor to stop talking-- she didn't. After about half an hour, Jiggles was ready to let go. And so, she did. Jiggles felt a warm lurk of her urine leaking through her little ballerina suit. The ballet instructor finally closed her mouth and saw a little girl wet her pants. The ballet instructor picked up Jiggles and brought her to the bathroom to wash her up. Jiggles saw the other little ballerinas look over at the puddle. She laughed.

And so on. Jiggles then travelled in time to when she went to her first Tae Kwon Do tournament. She didn't win first place though, even though technicially she should have won atleast second place. Jiggles was only 10 back then, but she knew how to throw a kick here and there. Jiggles' opponent was around her height, a little more scrawny than her though, and looked about the same age as her. She looked like an amateur, just like most of the people at the tournament. She had a expression of a squirrel, but she was ready to fight for some acorns. The sparring began. After few minutes, when Jiggles got more comfortable sparring the girl, she raised her right leg and drop kicked her on her chest (they had cushiony protections on). The girl fell down and got right back on her feet. Except this time, it looked as if she has lost her acorns, her eyes filled with tears and she let it drip down her boney cheeks. Jiggles and her team knew she had atleast 12 points, but the referee decided to let her win. Because she cried.

And so, Jiggles decides to travel to when she was 14, when she began obsessing over the hip hop culture. Jiggles have discovered something beautiful. Freestyle of dance. And so on, Jiggles found many groups of people that admired it, as well. It completely took over her mind, and it was always the only thing in her mind. Jiggles went to couple of workshops, but the first one she was forced to do several things. The host has been close with Jiggles for a couple of years, who decided to enter her in the tournament. Jiggles wore heavy shoes, which kept dragging her feet, so she took it off. It was her turn to battle her opponent. Jiggles slipped. Not once or twice, several times. It was her first experience in battling someone, but she enjoyed it. So did everyone else. They were big supporters and gave Jiggles a hug and a high-five here and there.

And so on.
