Ab samahan

I think i am going to name my Blog. hmmmmmm... i will name you G429!!! haha iono.


Dear G429,

Ok to AB samahan was a crazy day. I am part of this club called abscope and itsd basically this outreach program and where freshman in college actually get the oppurtunity to be staff members. So as soon as i got to ab samahan around 730am i realized how many people were there. I didnt have my clothing and i had to find some guy who was selling the volunteer shirts. When i got it, i was immediately helping out near the registration desks. Simply just regulating. I was the volunteer that the kids were scared of cause i kept yelling and really challenging them haha. I had my scissors that day but they were more of a display than for use. But i was going to cut some wristbands if people started giving me an attitude.

Alright i think the biggest contribution i did was handling the HUGE lines. The first time was for lunch and it turned out t hat people could not handle it. EVERYONE was just too NICE to say anything thatll do anything or TOO mean that once they yelled, people still would not do anything. It was hard for people especially the leaders. Its the worst feeling to say something, be heard, then be ignored. UGHHHHH but i took a mintue and thought.

Mission: single file line
Problem: Too many kids
Resources: bunch of volunteers with nothing to do.

So what i thought of doing was cutting the line. holding up the flow. If i just keep yelling at them, yeah they know they have to be in a single file line, but that doesnt really let them know how. By cutting the line and holding the flow i was able to let the group thats close to the food go and slowly transform the huge mob into a single filed organized line. I was soooooooooo happy =] haha i feel like a loser control-obseessed person but who cares. My abscope director said what i had to do and i did it.

The next line for the talent show was complete chaos, and i felt really embarrased. But i took charge and me being the first-year had people who were 6th years asking me what they could do to help, or listeniong when i directed them to do something. I FELT SO COOOL! you know? I realized i didnt carry myself as someone who was just helping, i carried myself as someone who knew what he was doing knew how to do it, and was unmovable. No one asked me if i was a first year, they just wanted organiztion.

Then the last line, ohhhh man. The line for the dance. I knew it. I was prepared and i knew what to do. Ok. They specifically called me out and i ran to the door where the dance entrance was. They told me what they needed did some communication and then i made my plan. It was 15 minutes or so before the talent show was over and some volunteers headed towards the dance area to secure and be ready. I basically told em the plan i nwas going to make. I made a path and made sure the mob would be NOWHERE enar the entrance. First there would be the mob near the steps, THEN the fat line taht kind or curved and stopped. I stopped it there and from there people would divide into two lines. Of coruse i would stop them everytime the last line which lead to the entrance of the dance got full, that way, people at starbucks could come and go and we would not be as botherslome as we would be. OHHH MNNN its sooo coool to see your plan just be successful I rememebr right before the kids came i was so excited to see if it would work! And thank God it did =]

Yeah i know its jsut lines but it was a HUGE difference that really eased alot of stress for people. I was really glad how well it turned out. |

At the dance, well iono. I kind of quit dancing. Like last year. My last dance was prom. I used to SWANG like there was NO TOMRORO! i would get freaky and just grind on ALL THE CHICKS! i was good no doubt. like foreal if you were a girl, you would have fun dancing with me cause i could follow the girls from top to bottom, i could even lead them where to go and take control. It was so SEXY! Even my friends would compliment me and man...

But now that i look back at it. ITs reall;y disgusting, i got really good at something REALLY disgusting. Sex with clothes, i looked like everyone else. MY friend told me why she doesnt dance like that, i was actually trying to convince her to dance so i could dance with her but she told me, "its just weird, besides, your not gonna dance like that when your older or with your family." And i started thinking of those cute dances daughters do with their dads and i am like. Your totally right. What has dancing become? It was really disgusting...

So when i went into the dance i just saw alot of people freaking and last year me and my friend would just go up on random girls and just dance. NEVER got rejected. I could have done it again and i had a few friends that would have, but this year, i jsut joined my other friends and raved. Sure it felt klind of lame, but i didnt do the nasty. I didnt do waht i usaed to do and most importantly i was dancing, having fun =] no grinding this year just enjoying my time with some friends. it was really cool! i even got to go on stage. the best part was when they started playing techno and everyone had the glowsticks up. haha my friends glowstick exploded on him hahahaha.

Oh and seeing michelle speak was really a new perspective of her for me really cool Proud of ya! =D I had a workshop but i did not do as well cause i wasnt really doing a motivation speech but a expereince kind of thing. but wow that wass cool seeing yuh! oh and i SAW PJ!!! MANN i miss those guys. YOU TEMEC KIDS ROCK! and ALBY you dance really well man! not like you guys will see this anyway BYE~
