My ZIPS are finally here

So boys and girls I'm finally back after a very long sabbatical. I went on vacation and I cut myself off from the world for a while, and that would include my blog. But thats not what I'm going to write about today. Today I would like to share my ZIPS with everyone.

The first time I saw Poi Dancing upclose was during the PeopleSupport Company Summer outing. Our Operations Manager, Tsok, Danced Poi using fire. I was amazed at how the flames moved so I snooped around the internet for information regarding Poi. Luckily I did (check my sidebar for the POI sites). I wanted a pair of Zips immediately but they could only be ordered in Manila. Lucky for me, my good friend Leo a.k.a. thehandbagtotingboy knew someone in Davao who made zips. Actually I wanted to buy his because that's how impatient I am but he said he'd prefer that I just order a newe pair since they only take a day to make. I said ok. I wired him the money and wouldn't you know it, the next day my zpis we're on their way to me. Alas I had to wait for a few more days because 2Go (the delivery company) delivered it 2 days late. I was so frustrated at first but when the package arrived all my frustration vanished. So here are a few pics of my zips.

Sorry about the Quality. Its was dark in room. Ever since I got, I cant get my hands of them. Its soooo much fun. Well for those of you who have been living under rocks, POI Dancing/Spinning was inspired by the dance called "Maori" from New Zealand. In Poi dancing you swing the Pois/Zips in certain rythmical patterns to create different forms. There are different types of POI's. There are Fire Poi's, LED Poi's, Flag Poi's, Ribbon Poi's like mine and much more. Here is an example of the patterns created by POI's when photographed with slow shutter speed:

*LED Poi's were used for this.

Again I would like to thank my friend Leo for my first pair of zips. I'll be ordering a new one this week. If you want a pair of zips which are of excellent quality yet affordable, dont hesitate to contact him at http://www.handbagtotingboy.blogspot.com/

*I would also like to that http://www.homeofpoi.com/ for the image

I'll be posting a video or pictures of me zipping soon.

Cheers.
