Event Recap:
Wet girls, breasts, thighs…..all in public? It can only mean one thing…..
Thanksgiving Day: Dinner in The Park
Novermber 25th, 2004
Badges! We don’t need no stinking badges!
Why?
Last year my parents moved to Phoenix, Arizona and I decided to stay in Southern California to continue working and get an apartment. The independence has been very enjoyable but one big downside was that last year was the first year EVER I wouldn’t be spending the day with my family.
Rather than just stay home by myself I decided to head up to Pasadena to a service project Larry told me about serving food to the needy. Needless to say I jumped at the opportunity.
Down Time:
Before we actually got to volunteering we had a little time to play around. So we decided to play duck, duck, goose. It’s been so long since I played this game and the excitement of the game helped us prep for the long day ahead.
Ferdinand lost this battle to Larry.
New Zoom Lens:
I’ve been debating about getting a new fancy smancy Digital SLR camera but I figured out a better way to get a zoom lens on my camera.
Larry, was a good man…..
Set Up:
When you are set to serve thousands people forget that someone has to set up the tables for everyone to eat at. That’s where we came in.
So me and my friends were assigned to unload chairs and set up tables. I jumped onto the back of the truck to unload the chairs to hand to my friends. It was hard work but very rewarding.
Water, Water Everywhere:
My friend Larry has been to this project several times and so he volunteered to go man the water booth rather than serve the homeless (which is the most popular job)
We all thought he was such a nice guy so we went over to get some water and say thanks.
But wait, don’t we look unusually happy? Well the picture below explains why. I swear to god she was the most beautiful water girl I’ve ever seen. I was just waiting for her to just start throwing a cup of water over herself.
We do it for free:
This was the actual highlight of the day. It’s amazing the amount of volunteers that showed up the event (literally hundreds) but even more amazing the amount of needy families that showed up for the free thanksgiving dinner.
In The News:
Some time during the day a reporter for a Chinese newspaper found our little happy group and decided to interview us for an article. It was a very cool coincidence and we actually ended up in the Chinese Daily News the next day.
Reflection:
Not being able to spend Thanksgiving with my family was a huge bummer but getting to be around good friends and feel like I made a difference more than made up for it….

1st comment! Hee hee…err…Hmm, this being said on a sunday afternoon…err :huh:…
D’oh, thwarted by a minute! :hammer:
Holidays are always a hard time to be without your family. But it looks like someone got a little touchy feely at the end there eh? Yeah, I bet thats you.. haha just kidding. But I am proud that you went out and did some volunteering instead of mope around in your p.j’s eating ramen noodles.. not like I would know or anything.
Have a great day, love.
Looks insanely fun
God Bless you guys! :innocent:By serving the hungry, you serve Christ! AWESOME! :w00t:
nice piceratures!
are those yours hands in the first pic?
you can tell a lot about a guy from his hands ; )
This would make a great scrapbook entry….
hehe niceeee
Did i send you my pics? Too bad you couldn’t come to the xmas one, but for some reason the water didn’t taste as good *oh you forgot about the hapa and the other asian girl*
yay for volunteer work !
Someone in that last picture was copping a feel!
haha
That looks like it would be fun. I’m going to do something like that one day.
Maybe when I get out of hick-town, haha.
Yeah.
Good job. I wish I could do something like that, but I haven’t really looked into it, and there really aren’t that many needy familes in the Tri-Valley where I live, but that’s good
You are truly something special. I wish I could be more like you one day.
*Terrian
you’r an amazing person. people appreciate the thing su do. nice job
take care
that looks like a very rewarding and fun service event. *pat on the back*
nothing like being featured on the front page of a chinese newspaper.
hey random propz!!! =)
::cue aww::
That was a very nice thing for you to do
Good Job!
well, true. ha, so i guess i’m really s.o.l. what does ryc mean?

hahhah.. i love that camera zoom lens. =]
ahahahahahahaha~~~! i love the AIM and SHOOT pix! it’s awesome and admirable of all the great things you do for the community! :flowers:
thank god there are still people like you in the world…
wow in the chinese newspaper … is that chinese? O_o … o duh i just looked back at it its like the chinese daily right at the top lol … O_O lan u need a manicure!!!
nice pictures… thanks for stopping by and leaving sweet comments.. hope all goes well for you
You shouldn’t tease us like that with half a picture of the hot water girl. Once again, you are a great guy, and you take such good pictures. I especially loved the picture captioned “Larry, was a good man”. Classic.
thanks! how was your weekend
i like the “larry was a good man” Shoot pic..haha.
aww how nice. im glad theres people like you to help out.. so people like me can not help out. muahaha. horrible.
that is exactly why i shouldn’t be in a relationship
ass grabbage!! :biggrin:
looks like fun!
your shirts match the grass! i like.
wow…lookin` fun pictures…wish i was there…hehe
volunteering always brings a smile to my face. *pats head*
coolio banner, too
Gj for the community service, bad job for no photos of the hot chick’s face.
It great you participate in so many events.. I want to too, but there’s not that many down here that I know of.. I’m thinking of putting a charity donation on my site..to help the people in African villages by raising money to build them water pumps…so many of them die b/c of contaminated water…Oh by the way, I was born on November 21, 1982… =)
awww…you really are a nice guy! sorry if that sounded rude, but it was meant as a complement!
hey thanks for the props..nice page u have here
those are some nice asssetts. :shifty:
i passed out.. like before midnight.. :huh:
I’ve done volunteering for Thanksgiving in Michigan, and also Salinas when I was going to graduate school in Monterey. And it was great to serve the truly needy.
But I wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole here in San Francisco where phony needies come from all over the country to be professional sucks on society 365 days a year, and sadly are encouraged to, and get away with it.
ahaha freaking cool. that was the fastest comment i’ve ever seen put up. you put that up about 4 min after i made that post public. craazy. anyways, HOLY SHIT my sister’s getting married in october too *no joke! and she’s getting married in Cozumel. what a coincidinc. probly just means you’re cool like me. maybe we have the same sister O_O.
xx justine
totally cool dude..
and your jeans looks like it is falling off… :nuke:
WELLLLLL, there was one picture that you left out Lan… and as any proper member of society would, i must have to inform the authority and the public to people like you Tsk Tsk….
You’re awesome.
hey, wouldn’t it be kind of cool if there really were zoom lenses that went that far?
and can you image the things people would be saying?
“My zoom lense is longer than your zoom lense“
@__@
nice volunteering you did there
It looks really fun to have been there.
and i dont recall it being that sunny over here in NorCal.. :blink:
heh, not only are you on featured content in xanga, but you’ve been featured in the newspaper. cool beans!
Doh, the link didn’t work… lets try this again >18
Damn, you’re lucky that it’s that kinda weather during Thanksgiving over there. Over here it’s usually 20-40F, too cold for hot water girls. Couldn’t you at least get a shot of her face?
But good work man, glad to see you making a difference.
rational war stance… commmunity service whore.. in all, you’re a good man Lan! and i agree with hypnawtik, glad there is still people out there such as yourself. rock on.
btw, i say GET THE SLR CAMERA, but again, that’s just my opinion. :rolleyes:
btw, i was looking through my photo archive the other day and came across this picture…

Awesome, I do something similar every year.
Generally I can still eat dinner with whomever since it’s in the morning/early afternoon. It’s always in a civic center/convention center, so I generally take the job of human rope, to keep everyone from cutting in line as they wind through the building. I get to see everyone up close and personal, I like tat the best.
:hug:
Wow, looks like you had an awesome weekend, Lan. You’re so involved….that’s cool. Take care. :wink:
