Updates and a happy ending
Hey all. I'm back once again, and I'd like to believe that's by popular demand. We're currently in the midst of the last major school holidays before the Os and well, time seems to be flying when I'm not studying. So I'll just like to blog about a few updates since the last post and as usual, all comments are welcome.
1) By all comments, I mean real comments, not flooding my tagboard for the sake of flooding it. I dunno why, but I find that really is bloody irritating. Sure people get bored, but there are other better things to do than flood tagboards with whole chunks of crap. And then people get unhappy when their "hard work" is deleted. I say serves you right. For some reason I never like people to mess around in my blog and tag meaningless stuff. I say meaningless stuff, not lame crapping. Lame crapping's fine cos it relieves tension. By meaningless stuff I mean things which make no sense at all. So I hope a warning has been served, and cut the meaningless stuff on my blog.
2) In a few days, I'll be meeting up with the Sec 3 Core Group for the first time. I've got loads to say and loads to ask as well. Recently I was thinking of asking some ex-Core Grp people to help me draw up an agenda of sorts, kinda like the few we did when we met. Volunteers are welcome, and may be rewarded as well =). As the Sec 3s embark on the NCO phase I just really hope they do the unit proud. Batch after batch has said upon POP, that it'll be the end of NP after they leave. I didnt really appreciate the faith they had in us. So I'm not going to say the same thing. What I'll say, and I hope this speaks for most of the Sec 4s, is that I have the utmost faith in the next batch. Yes, they may not have as many people as compared to us, but what makes up for that is the leadership talent. I believe that all of them have potential, and I see many great leaders of NCNP. And it doesnt matter if they fail in certain areas. What matters is how they go about picking themselves up and making the unit proud. I said 3 months ago, after the conclusion of ALTC that I feared for the future of this unit. I take that back, and it's with a great joy that I do. I'll be the first to say that they can make it. The Sec 4s know what it's like for the world to look down upon us, and say that we cant succeed. That's why I say, it's not about winning or losing or even UOPA Gold, but the journey travelled together that matters. Put this way. If I now gave all the Sec 4s a choice between the relationships we enjoy now, and acheiving UOPA Gold with politics and backstabbing, which one would we choose? So while the UOPA is important, what's more important, is that we dont lose sight and take the journey travelled together for granted.
3) Recently, I've had a hard time dealing with a couple of personal problems, and friendship issues. I'd just like to report that all's well that ends well, and there has truly been a happy ending. It's great to see my effort into that friendship being appreciated and acknowledged, and while I may not have known which way to go during my last post, it's all clear to me now. I'll do my best to help you outta that rut. And really, don't start thanking me, until it's been all done. The pledge we made was simple but cling on to it. Remember the promises we made. And here's one more that I'll declare openly. I won't ask you to change yourself for me. I want you to be comfortable in your own skin. Even though others may not approve of it, I'll support you no matter what the consequences are. And you really wanna know why I'd do so much for you? Cos in a way, I have this brotherly love for you. And I want you to know that in all that you do, being happy is what matters most. I promise that I wont require you to do things you feel uncomfortable about. What I'll do, is to slap you and do all I can to let you move in the right direction, and help you start afresh, taking off that mask that has hindered you so much in the past. And again. Why am I doing that? Cos really, that's what friends are for, as cheesy as it may sound. All I really ask for, is that you treasure this friendship, and do your part in helping yourself.
Alright, that sums up all the updates I have for now. So once again, all comments are welcome and appreciated, but there IS a limit to the flooding of my tagboard, and consequently, the wrath the flooders may have to face. Till the next time, it's Dan, who believes that God alone will be my judge, signing off.
