Your POV

It was the next day after our group call and when I woke up this morning, Javi texted me that we were not going to train today and instead, we were going to just go somewhere and sit down to talk about our plans for the season. Like the programs for the season, costume ideas, the layout for the program and many more. Javi that we can meet for lunch or even for coffee or some sort which I told him that we can meet up for coffee since I was going to have lunch with my family which Javi said that he'll pick me up for coffee later on in the day.

Later in the day, after I had lunch with my family and even talked with Nathan since he suddenly decided to have a little call, Javi said that he was on his way to pick me up which I told him that I was getting ready and that I'll be ready in around 15 minutes or so. I then went back up to my room to change my clothes and grab a few things. I also texted Javi if I really don't need my skates whatsoever which Javi said that for today we won't need it but tomorrow should be time for us to practise some few elements while coming up with ideas for the programs that we were gonna discuss later in the day.

Not long after, Javi arrived and I told my parents that I will be out till evening or maybe even night time. I then grabbed the spare key to my house and went out to see Javi actually waiting outside of the car which I teased him for being such a 'gentleman' and then the both of us went into the car and head off to a café. After around 30 minutes of talking in the car and being stuck in traffic for quite a while, we have finally arrived to the café which Javi booked for us for the afternoon till evening. The waiter then led us to our table and handed us the menu which we then ordered some tea, sandwiches and a few cakes which of course we would share cause gurl, them cakes are about the size of a skating boot.

While waiting for our food to come, Javi asked if I have thought about the two programs that I would use for this season which I told him that we can either use the same program as I did in Asian Winter Games or even make new programs. Though, I told him for new programs, I did have an idea on one of the programs being Romeo and Juliet which Javi asked why Romeo and Juliet to which I told him that it's probably because I'm a hopeless romantic and portraying a very romantic soundtrack might help which he just looked at me with his eyebrows raised and I just giggled and said that I'm kidding. I told him that mostly is probably because it's a famous soundtrack yet there are so many different variations of it and mostly that I was inspired by Alena's Romeo and Juliet program which Javi said that that is a good choice but afterwards I have to figure out the music cuts which he said that he will definitely help out with that and then Javi asked whether I want that to be my short program or free program which I immediately said that I want it to be my free program and Javi just giggled at my immediate respond that is probably like a child.

Javi then asked what will my short program be since I chose a more musical piece for the free program. He asked whether I want to do something bold like a fun kind of program or tango like Roxanne or maybe a rock type of music which I told him that maybe I might go for more of a classical piece since I do play the piano. Javi then asked if I have any pieces in mind which I told him that maybe I want to do Chopin's Winter Wind or maybe something else. Maybe even try Chopin's Ballade no 1 op 23 which Javi just smirk and I asked why was he smirking which Javi said that it's nothing and proceeds to change the subject which is the layout of my programs which I told him that I still really want to put the 3A in both programs and even 2 in the free program which Javi said that for now, we can plan them but said that for the first few competitions, I might have to switch for the 2A as from what he saw, he said that the 2A is easier to bring back and a safer bet than the unstable and uncertainty of the 3A.

We then started to plan the elements that I was going to use for both the short program and the free program while looking at other skaters' past programs. We also started to calculate the possible scores that I might receive if I'm able to get at least a +3 GOE for all the elements which when we count them, without the 3A, it was lower than most of the skaters in the top 10 of the world championships last season. Then out of the blue, I started to think of another possible alternative than the 3A which all I can think of was learning quads.
