~EnerGy BooSt Up!!

Hey ya,

What an incredible time i have last week.
Seriously, i feel really really super duper great.
Feel very much energetic since last time when was that?? ah when i was MCP. Haven't felt like this that long ah..

The moment that we landed in late evening in Phuket, we have been dragged into 2 meetings. Pretty cool, met with people who share the same idea and want to do the same things. Have the chance to share and discuss for the possibility in making those ideas more realistic. That's very awesome!!
I kept juming around here and there. (Not sure is it becoz it was the first time in 6 months that i have a chance to leave BKK or 'cz of the excitement of meeting such pretty cool people!! ;-)

Phang-Nga Province was Thailand’s ground zero. The loss of life and destruction of property, nature and livelihood there was immense. That's the reason why I chose V-STAY there.
My teammate was asking me what is my expectation in seeing how the province look like before we landed. Honestly, i didn't think of any. My thought was focus only on what can i do as individual with the network of young people that i have in hand. That is really what i think of.

Everyday there was filled with the challenges which bring more and more idea into my mind. I kept on thinking of what can i do, what can V-STAY do and what can AIESEC do in order to help those people.
They still need of support.
They still need of help.
They are waiting and looking for people who really put their mind and hands in helping them.
I have talked with many local people who lost their houses, careers and their love one. I kept listen and made silence, just smile. That is the only thing i can do, the best so far..i think.

Also met with many cool people, both Thais and Foreigners, the gold-heart people for me. They put their effort, their heart and mind into helping, really helping, acting, put their hands and the whole body in taking care and helping the local people.
Some just planned to be volunteer for 1 month but end up move their family and stay base there.
Some left their home country, sold their belongings, quit their good-paying job and be the volunteer there. That makes my heart and the whole body jump high, very up high.

Everyday, starts from 7 o'clock 'till mid-nite or so for a week, I felt I have accomplished and help more people than 5 months i stayed in this office. That's really what i felt. If not 'cz of my family, by now i should still be there. I am willing to quit my job here (more than anything) I felt i can do more and i am useful there.
I dont' mind 24-7 working there. It's very tired indeed but it's also filled with the happiness. For the week i woke up with the purpose, with the feeling like today i will help as many people as i can.
I will give them all the way more than 100% of my energy. I am more than willing to give it all the way. And I did, all the way whole heart in everything. Waste no time. Lived every second useful and enjoy every moment.

It does feel great, my friends. I'm telling ya.
Every cells in my body still jumping while typing this. I dont' want to leave there. I should have stay. I should have not left. But I have to. That's what 'responsibility' tied me up. That is what AIESEC taught me. Everything comes with responsibility.
But I will go back, for sure with the first group of V-STAY.
I will go back there, stay longer. Grab every single minute, spend it wisely.

Good People, James- the missionary, P'Jack- Volunteer from Saori Foundation, Mickey- Modern Jesus, Kru Aey with her mom and her daughter, Kru Kaew with his family, Sae & Nick at Thaitogether, David-the Dutch. Such an honor for me to meet them. Will I have the chance to work side by side with them? we'll see..

Live Up!!


Cheers,
