Saturday, 18 August 2007 Today kicked yesterday's ass big time!I was up as early as five in the morning because I was just so excited about how the day will turn out. See, today's a crucial day for this leadership program I'm taking because it's the last day for us to get new people to come in and enroll. My teammates committed to enrolling around 130 people today and we totally exceeded that goal--we were able to bring in 150!!! It was just so amazing! It was already ten in the morning and we were still 15 people short. We just started calling people we knew, people we haven't even talked to in a looong time--some weeks, months, and even years!--and right before 11:30am, we were up to 150! And that's on top of the fact that we needed these people to pay P5,500 each for them to join the workshop. AMAZING. Just friggin amazing. Unbelievable how much one group of really committed people can do to generate that effect on other individuals. Just amazing. I got goosebumps once we reached our target and we were just laughing like crazy, hugging each other like hell after we started seeing more and more "warm bodies" come in. It was CRAZY! Today's attendance exceeded even the one during MY time! And my gay teammates were even exclaiming, "In fairness Trish, mas maraming cute ngayon!" LOL Eyelovit. :) And even though I didn't get my sister to join the workshop, I reached my own enrollment goal. Nothing short of amazing, really. Support was definitely there when I needed it. I swear I feel like I'm in AA. That building is definitely my safe place here in Manila. I tend to do crazy things the moment I step out of the elevator and into the fifth floor seminar hall. I can just be my crazy psychotic self. Because there are people there crazier than I am. Swear, it's just so overwhelming! And, haha, people told me pa I lost weight! Yeah baby! I now know how Donkey felt when he and Shrek woke up after drinking that Happily Ever After potion! Donkey: Shrek and I drank this potion and now... we're sexy! :D Soon...I will be channeling Catherine Zeta-Jones. Haha. And my friend TJ lent me this book of compiled Philippine short stories and I'm enjoying the read so far. Panalo. I can't wait to get started writing my own. And with my enrollment goal out of the way, I'll be more focused on the other goals I've set because it has definitely lifted a lot of the pressure. Tomorrow's our first workshop and I'm curious as to what they'll make us do this time. Because they really make us do things that we'd never imagined we'd be doing. Yey! I am a lunatic. :) Labels: Leap33
