Life on the Wings of Destiny: August 2006

Loveboat @ Taiwan (NO IT IS NOT A LITERAL BOAT!)

So now it's August 28th, 2006 and it has been a month since my trip to Taiwan. I attended Loveboat which is an overseas youth tour...this program's nickname is Loveboat because a lot of the "youth" there tend to hook up with each other. Rumors of unexpected pregnancies and sexual intercourse have given the camp the nickname Loveboat. The tour is not based on a boat despite what you would think..it's purely land based. Anyways...i'll let some of the pictures tell some of the story for Loveboat was not just a time to enjoy the sites for me...it was also a time that made me look inward toward myself. It was a time when i had fun with many people, but it also showed me what i need to work on to improve myself. Don't get me wrong! it was a fun trip but there were many serious moments.

This post is dedicated to all my roommates @ Loveboat and Frankie too cause he was a big part of our group but he didn't live with us xD.

First of all...my roommates and i were all clutzes *is that a word?*. We did a lot of weird things at night and it was just...odd...like jumping into people's bed @ random times.

There were 8 guys/girls to one room and my room was awesome! I loved hanging out with them because they were all really active and open. I love my roommates and we were all comfortable with each other. There were always girls and other friends in our room which was fun but became a burden sometimes when i wanted to sleep ^_^ but it's all good. My roommates were there to entertain me but they were also there to support me. Whenever i had troubles at camp they would ask what was wrong and help me out. We were all willing to listen to each other and at Loveboat i did a lot of soul searching. My friends were always there for me and i wish i hung out with them more.

Here's a lot of my rooommates...basicalyl all of'em are except the girl obviously haha. This was at the Farewell Party...the last event of the camp and we all dressed up and went. It was basically a last time to congregate together and take pictures of everyone nicely dressed.

Some friends @ a restaurant. haha nothing to say here...starting left to right...Chris the Flirt, George the Mouth, Rita, Zong the Austrian, and Lydia ^^.

I just like this picture! i think it looks cool. People from left to right...Me, Chris, and Yummy (his name is Yang Yang i think but we ended up just calling him Yummy for a month)

This is the group's first venture into the MRT, Taiwanese subway system). Basically we all didn't know what to do but thankfully one of us kinda did. the MRT is awesome not just for transportation, which is very inexpensive and efficient, but also for shopping and eating! There were a lot of good places to eat down there and everything is air conditioned! Food and shopping in one area...what else do people need?
