[#22] War is Over
Yes, after 3 days and 3 nights only living on water, the Hunger Strike in my dorm was finished on Saturday. I wanna give a loud shout to the 3 guys who participated in the 'huger' part and also the people who had surported (including me:)
And it worked! They finally started to listen to us -- after one and a half years, a little bit late tho -- and started to make things moving towards the 'good way' such as accept our constructive suggestion of helping them to get rid of the red figures while keeping our dorm, etc. -- and I'm glad to say it finally, our dorm is gonna survive! It was pretty touching to hear on the final meeting that decided our dorm's fate with the 'big ones' from YMCA, some of the guys cried and we all knew that those tears meant both certain kind of appreciation and release.
Yesterday we all went to the church. A lot of us are not a Christian but going to the church isn't odd to us. And for the first time, every member of the dorm went together. It was Christmas this week and three people were baptized. It was nice to go to the church and hear all those beautiful songs but the people I'm personally most thankful to isn't GOD but the three people who were willing to throw their lives to save the dorm.
That foto is the tent in which they stayed during the strike. I lived there one night too. Ain't it so cute!?
WISH EVERY ONE A HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!

E-kun you are a champion! I'm so proud of you. You really did make a difference not only in your life, but by also helping others, helping the community and creating hope for the future - for other guys to live there and chase their dreams. I always say to you that somethings have changed and somethings have not. You always prove to me that the changes are for the better and the things that haven't changed are there for a reason.
I hope to see you soon. Christmas Night at my place with Stripper Gal is on and you MUST be there.
Yay! Thank goodness!! Anyway, Happy Holidays E!!
