i-share lang nako ako experience katong first time nako apil(wala koy kaila jd ato na time)

twas sumer outing sa istorya.net 2004

syempre naa naman jud ka makaila sa forum palang daan(wala pay chatbox sauna.. as in mu participate jud ka sa conversation sa thread) at first, hesitant pa ko muapil kay la pa koy nailhan or na meet in person.. pag abot sa venue(portofino) op kaau ko kay kaila na cla daan.. walay nagpaila2x nako sa grupo.. wat i did was niduol ko sa usa member kanang, feeling nako dali duolon.. then nagpaila2x ko, she told me her name(mitch_88.. we talked about sa amu paborito na thread.. then iya ko gipaila kay monrose we talked napud then he introduced me sa tanan na jud.. didto nako na meet ang ako permi ka istorya sa thread.. twas a nice feeling na ma met ang imu katabi everyday sa istorya, nya overnight activity man to: inum2x, ligo2x then tabi2x then more inum2x... pag human sa event, close nami tanan....

nasundan ang laag pag next day.. i met another newbie 7dmm then he did exactly wat i did the other night.. then we participated in almost every activity sa istorya(outreach, fund raising, concerts, outing, dine-out) we saw newbies na hesitant pag una but took the risk of being maulawan...

lesson learned, wala jud kay makaila kung wala kay duolon or ilailahon...

bottom line is tanan active karon sa istorya(including me) niagi ug pagka newbie.. naulaw pag first apil sa eb.. kaya rapud na ninyo.. dili gud ta maulaw mu share sa atong feelings, opinions and experience sa forum meaning, naa tay bisag gamay guts inside us para magpaila2x sa gathering.. just my 2 cents lang.. hehehe

busa....

sa sunod gathering sa istorya, gawas jud mu.. pahipi kung maulaw paka pewo ayaw kaulaw tibuok adlaw.. sugdi ug ila2x sa usa ka istoryan.. kung masayop ka ug duol(like poldopunk).. tiguma balik imu courage na muduol ug lain tao.. that way, kung successful ka ug ila2x duha namu muatubang sa uban istoryans..

Naa jud nuon lapses ang welcoming committee kay nalingaw nami sa amung beer.. sowi jud kaau.. we'll try our best sunod na ma entertain tanan.. basta you do your thing sad.. "introduce yourself"...

ka-remember ko first nko join ug EB wayback 2006 'twas Children's Party nga gi uwan tawn. though wla nko ka apil after following events sa mga ka-kuliang dli na nko mapugnan but i wish i could be there last 7th Anniversary. because i believe nga warm kau ang Istoryan community bsan wla pa nmo ma meet ang mga bag.o ug ang mga C.I.A's na dri sa forum.

this is an old vid and i'd like to share this to all nga na feel OP for the first time


here's that moments: YouTube - children's party (nkalimot na cgro ang uban ani)

[Lord_Ac]

This was my first EB sa istorya.. but wa man ko na OP.. haha.. kuyog man gd ko sa ako mga migo.. mga mods pa jd to cla(muzikfreakah, dbgg1979, chronnus).. ako ra dili. Heh. This was also the first time where I met BeoR(God of Istorya).

i think the purpose of the EB is for ONE to get to know people, not waiting for other people come out and get to know you (there is a coloquial term i want to quote but i don't want THIS post edited lest i quoin it). although we went to a party hosted by the organizers, if we want to be a PART of the ISTORYA FAMILY, we should initiate contact with the other members and make the connection. even if a "welcoming committee" is created, it isn't an escort service that functions to ensure that all the needs of the member he/she is assigned to are addressed. murag maka-konsensya man pud if we deprive the other people of their fun just because we need to be "baby-sat" during a party.

i am sure the mods are brainstorming on how to make most of us feel welcome, i am more certain that everybody CANNOT be satisfied by the effort. there will always be a shortcoming of sorts coz of our different "shyness level". the REACHING OUT, BRIDGING GAPS theme should not be solely the battle cry of the moderators or the old members... that goes for the newbies too.

"kung ayaw, may dahilan... kung gusto, maraming paraan" i heard that from a song over NU. this really hits home.

my thoughts... peace!
