AIESEC & I

When I just got into university, the city buses and the bike were my main transportation. It took me one hour to school, but I still enjoyed it. It's fun to take bus, because you can go ahead relax or watching people around you. Therefore, I took bus to school for the first semester, and never late for class. I believe this is one of the most amazing things that I have done in the university life.

However, I stoped taking bus, because in AIESEC, lots of chances that you had to go home late, or you would miss many activities, and couldn't hang out with the LC members. Then I suddenly go to get the license and start to take scooter, which was not in the plan of my university life. After that, I start to stay at school late, and many times stay at LC office by myself to do AIESEC stuff till the building was close. But I really enjoy that kind of life.

Whenever the elections were coming, need to spend 1~2 weeks to work out the manifesto. Do the best to write down the vision of the organization for next year. During the process, so many things need to be considered, X number, current reality, and so on. No matter how well-prepared you were, the subcommittee would always point out the parts that you don't think clear enough. It's not an easy process, but you would know this organization after this.

At the end of the term, there is a thing called "Transition", where the current team would speak to the elect team. Whenever watching the current in the transition, I felt touched by how much they contribute to the organization to drive it forward. We may only see the glory, but don't see the pressures they take and how hard they try till this moment. It's pretty normal you see the current crying while talking about what he or she has gone through this year. Now I can understand that feelings and the reasons. Even it's not an easy path, I believe I would make the same choice, if I could choose again.

I spend most of my time in AIESEC for 4 years. I leran many things, though I lose something as well. I know some young leaders. I make good friends. I can put the ideas into action. I can do some crazy things, which may never do in other places. I can go to many places for meetings. I know how to introduce Taiwan to the foreigners. I feel like being with the teammates and don't want to leave AIESEC.

However, the show must go on. All I can do now is to pass my knowledge and experience to the new generation. I just wish they can learn something from this organization, just like what I have learned. Nothing much. What would AIESEC be like years later? Not sure, but should be closer to the vision - "Peace and Fullfillment of Humankind's Potential."

3 Women in My AIESEC Life

There are 3 women who played different roles and influenced me in different perspectives.

1. greensheep(0102 LCP)
She was my LCP in the first year. I really liked the atmosphere under her lead, because the whole LC was so united and fun, even though we were not the biggest. However, we did our best and also actively shared with the others. In wNCF of YZLC, we created roll call and practiced dances together. Also, we won pretty many awards that time, especially in human resources.

For me, I really wish I could be like her in the way of leading and doing things. Tough and focused in doing things. Funny and enjoying in the party time. I have lots to learn.

2. Angela (0203 LCP)
She has a different leadership style from the greeship's. She really cares about the people and always takes them in the first place. She did her best to make the LC like home. Therefore, that many people stay one more year is because of her. However, I am not sure it's good or bad. I always think about the work at first. Spend most of time working, instead of having fun and actively giving my love to others. That is one pretty big conflict between our thoughts. We didn't argue for that, but I suppose we both should be aware and do things with our own beliefs.

Till now, though hard to say right or wrong, I also start to learn how to show my love to the teammmatesthe and the people close to me.

3. Ivy (0203 VPICX)
She is my VP, but I guess she may have a hard time with me, because I always directly spoke up my opinions as if she knew nothing. Of course I didn't notice that at once, until some time later. We didn't talk much that time. Guess it's because I was used to keeping from others.

However, I can understand some more what she might feel in my VP term. It is really hard to put together a team and move forward. It is the 2nd time that I almost cry in AIESEC career when I talk about my VP term in the transition. Anyway, it's just not that easy. I would always remember this experience and take it with me.


Really thank them for a great memory that they bring to me. They also stand for the process of my changes. It's the best way I can show you how I am changing.

Karoke After Graduation Ceremony

First time go to karoke with classmates and even have some chances to sing.
Can't sing well, though I already try! XD Anyway, the most important is that I have a good time.

I need to have more practices by the next time going to karoke. Maybe I should try Taiwanese songs or "Don't Let Me Get Me" by Pink.
Let's wait and see.

Finally Write My Blog Again

Don't write over here for a pretty long time, because don't feel like writing after my longest post. However, I have some new thoughts in mind to share since May. It is the first time ever that I join class activities so long and frequently. Spoke out the top three girls in the class that I want to date with. Get to know the classmates much better and want to catch up with them as much as I can in the last two months. Look forward to every chances to meet everyone. And much more than the above.

I spend pretty little time with them because always put AIESEC and the study at first, in addition to other personal excuses. Still, thank to you or I wouldn't have such a wonderful university life. I would treasure all the memory and expect for the future gathering. I believe you would all do great. I would work hard as well.

Lastly, goodbye my classmates. I would see you again, though I don't know when.(copy from the song "Goodbye Jimmy Goodbye)

See ya and take care.

More Than One Year!!!

It's more than one year till today that I call my host family once again.
By the time I called, I felt pretty nervous, though I already called back a few times.
This time I was calling through skypeout. It is pretty clear and I am satisfied with that.

Lots of things to catch up between us. My sis, Stella, graduates last December and work in Phoenix.
My bro, Jerimmy, graduate from colleage and get married with one kid.
Little sister, Marrisa, is 11 grade. The first time gets to talk to her on phone, but really can't tell her voices.
Feel different from the way she talk in my memory and sound pretty like Ely for me.
Little brother, Ely, was riding bike somewhere at night. Wish he would get home safe.
My mom is working in Pinetop. The rest of the family are doing great. Good to hear that.

That was 4 years ago that I came back from United States. Know pretty many friends and people in the reservation.
Right now only stay in touch with only two of them. Wish they are also doing great.

Not sure when I would go back to visit them. Anyway, I would do the best to make enough money and find some time to achieve this dream asap.
Lastly, wish them for the best and I really love them.

總會停電事件簿

2005年7月28號晚上約八點半，這是我在總會辦公室連續待的第三個晚上，當我正覺得睏，趴在桌上，吹著冷氣，聽著陶晶螢的歌，舒服地享受孤獨夜晚的時候，突然間，「啪」的一聲，一瞬間總會的燈、冷氣突然都停了，不會這麼巧跳電吧！想說我還挺省電的說，只開一台冷氣和總會所有的燈，外加一台NB而已啊，平常開兩台冷氣，外加十幾台NB都沒事，想說老天怎麼會這樣的對我，而且，此時唯一的燈源就是我那十五吋的NB，周圍一片黑，伸手不見五指，因為也不知道總會有沒有手電筒或者是蠟燭，有大概也沒電，不過在一片漆黑中也找不到，不過，主要原因應該是想說找到了大概也沒電，以總會的傳統。

想說先確認是否真的是跳電還是停電，此時就需展現「鱉型人」暗中行動的身手，小心翼翼地走到門邊，打開門，也是一片漆黑，但剛好底下似乎有個人拿著藍色的手電筒，詢問是否有人，我也忘記我有沒有回他，他最終走進四樓，想說，anyway,也許他會到五樓eventually，因此我又回到我唯一的光源--NB--旁邊，想說這麼暗，大概是叫我早點睡吧，那我就在我號稱「床」的桌子上躺了一會，試著順其自然，反正急也不能解決問題，所以，試著以自由流洩的思考模式思考，聽了大約兩三首歌吧，想說這麼等下去也不是辦法，還是再試著找個辦法好了，再次摸黑走到門邊，好不容易摸黑打開五樓的屏風（我也不知道那東西叫什麼），從那裡的窗戶往外看，奇怪了，怎麼旁邊的公寓似乎都有燈啊，感覺一切安然無恙的樣子，看來似乎是我們這棟有停而已，想說怎麼這麼衰，不過，還是先回到NB旁邊，覺得這次的事件很有紀念性，也很有戲劇張力，所以用NB把螢幕調到最亮，照了張照片。

之後想起之前在電話機旁邊似乎有江媽的電話，於是，摸黑找到了，打過去竟然沒人接，於是又打給瑋辰和Sandy問江媽電話，確認這電話的確沒錯，看來只能繼續打打看，不過，又先再次走到門邊，雖然感覺騎樓亮亮的，但底下的人怎麼好像一直說有關停電的事，可是「靠背」的是總會的樓梯超陡的，而且又沒燈，走下去感覺超危險，不過鱉型人也不是當假的，於是慢慢地走下去，很奇怪的四樓、三樓、二樓都沒人，而且門也沒關，走到最下面把門打開，旁邊的網咖也停電，不過另一邊家具店卻很奇怪的沒停，聽到有人說可能是因為不同線路的關係。

我也不知道到底要怎麼辦，想說如果真的沒電的話，雖然就一直睡覺，但這樣也太恐怖了，而且等我的NB沒電的時候，我唯一的光源也就沒了，真的超危險的，接著還是先打電話給江媽看看好了，就在電話接起來一刻，前面一個中年婦女也拿著皮包緩緩地走到門口，聽到我叫江媽，回應了我，（OS：這是怎麼回事？）不過眼前的應該才是吧，所以電話先掛了，接著江媽給我一百塊叫我到全聯買蠟燭，找遍全聯有沒看到蠟燭這種東西，問店員的確沒有，想說就買手電筒好了，花了95元，原本想說在底下等江媽回來，等了一會兒，沒人，算了上去好了，到二樓才發覺江媽在那，陪江媽把樓下的電源關完與設定保全，到三樓時，正準備要走的時候，突然電來了，看到光明的一瞬間真的謝天謝地。告別了江媽後，一個人輕快地早到五樓，再繼續享受我一個人的漫漫長夜，而且很興奮地先寫起了這次難忘的回憶。

P.S. 原來總會以前也曾經有熱水過，江媽說以前原本五樓有熱水的，可是因為瓦斯都不關，所以燒壞了，所以也就沒在去修好，所以現在就沒熱水了，大家要記好啊，要好好愛惜公物，正所謂前人種樹，後人乘涼。我同時也想到另一件事，這樣看來許久以前住辦公室這件事應該也挺流行的。

Yeah!改天大家一起到總會露營，而且把燈全部關掉，講鬼故事的話超有感覺的！ ^^y
