#tsamu2014

Well, before i post my tsamu experience yesterday. Just a short flashback or story about the 4-peat of this Summer Meet Up.

2013 - This year was the first TSAMU event in the history of tumblr. And i’m proud to say that I was there. As I remembered, it’s also a Amazing Race theme like. I was a Facilitator that time with my KADA. (HUGKADA) I remember that my station is catching the egg. HAHAHA! Different bloggers  went and gather to this event to make some new friends to meet their friends, meet the bloggers of their dream  and most specially is to make some FUN. The venue is full of different bloggers. This year, i’m still active on tumblr. I still blog and write long post. And still active on joining meet ups. _

2014 -This year, I’m getting a bit Inactive because after graduating from college I decided to find work, and on April 2014, I was hired at Project Pie. Even though I’m a bit busy with my work i still manage to have time in blogging. 1 month from that hiring scenario is the TSAMU. This year, I’m not a facilitator anymore because of that busy sched of mine, but i still went to this event(TSAMU2014) But unfortunately I was late that time.The event was effin’ done.I miss the FUN HAHA! well, my friends told me that in was invaded again with different Bloggers. So i decided to meet my tumblr friends and hang out with them.

2015 - Same scenario with 2014, This year, I’m totally out of tumblr. I mean i was really in INACTIVE mode.haha i was not consistent. I’m really busy with my work. I was late again. this year OREO sponsored the event. But lucky me, the event was not yet done. Different Bloggers gather again for this Tumblr Summer Amazing Meet Up. I’m not that updated with the plans but i guess bloggers enjoyed the fun. Specially the prizes that oreo gave to the winners.

I saw Jake’s post about previous TSAMUs and I don’t know if I should be telling this, but I am freaking emotional right now and I am almost in the verge of my tears.

I can still remember, that was 2012 when Mike and I decided to organized a meetup in MoA and it was the meetup where I first met Jake. It feels like it was just a week ago and with just a snap, its TSAMU’s 5th year already. And here we are, still willing to give our all to make TSAMU happen. Hooray! Hahaha!  Of course, I’am very grateful as well to all the facilitators who we’re able to worked with. They are awesome. They are one of the reasons why TSAMU is successful. Every year is a blast!

So, to Mike and Jake, my very supportive co-organizers, thank you for being constant in my life. It’s silly how I was truly affected by the two of you, by how it magically makes the simplest moments with you enough and worth the while. And to wherever we are headed, I’am so damn ready for it. More TSAMUs to come!

The Tumblr Summer Amazing Meetup for the past 3 years - everything gets better and better. Actually, when we first started TSAMU way back in 2013, we were anxious of all the things that might happen to a point that we were thinking that it will flap. But through the hard work of my co-organizers Mike and Cha, and all the facilitators who helped us, we were able to launch it well. And everything was history. Everything went fast. There came TSAMU 2014 with more people and bigger expectations. Then 2015, where we finally had Oreo as our major sponsor. Three years of organizing TSAMU and I have learned so much about not just organizing meet-ups but also about organizing events in general, interacting with people, beating the deadline and rising above the expectations. It gave me that sense of pride for being one of the organizers of TSAMU. You can quote me on this, but I honestly believe that TSAMU is one of the biggest and most amazing meetups in Tumblr history - 300, to 400, then 500 attendees respectively. Every story is not about sweet cookies, but trust me, everything’s worth it. So, for TSAMU 2016, are you guys ready? Because we all are!

TSAMU2014. 05.22.14 / Part 1 :)

Okay ngayon pa lang ako mag popost ng kwento ko nung TSAMU. :)

Naging malabo ang pag punta ko dito sa Meet Up na to kasi nag ka problema sa bahay nang nakaraang gabi. Buti pasaway ako at tumuloy parin. Sabay dapat ni ni Chy (kaibigangbabae) kaso nalate na ko ng alis so nauna na si Chy. May isa kong tinahak ang Manila mula Quezon City. Nag LRT ako at isinalba ng Soundtrip ko ang boring na byahe ko. Panay narin ang text sakin ng mga friends ko kung nasaan na daw ba ako, kung pupunta ba ko, kung sino kasama ko, at kung nasaan na daw ulit ako, and etc. Hahahaha.

Pag dating ko sa UNStation nilakad ko naman ang kahabaan ng Luneta papunta sa Chinese Garden, ng mag isa. Tirik ang araw pero excited parin para sa magaganap na meet up. Sumalubong sakin si Chy kasama si Derks (antukingpogi) bibili sila drinks. Tinanong ko agad si Chy kung andyan na si Ish (ishpectacular) pag tingin ko sa likod ko kasunod ko lang pala. Kanina pa daw niya ko tinatawag, at dahil pansamantalang bingi ako ng panahong iyon dahil sa earphone ko hindi ko siya narinig. Hehe.

Libre ni Chy entrance ko. 10php rin yun. Salamat para doon. Hahaha. Pag pasok sa loob hinanap ko agad yung HK o kung sino ng present sa Kada ko.  Andun na sila Sel (selyado) at Neza (superneza). Pati yung mga organizeri. Sil Cha (boseslalake), Mike (korneeto) at Jake (jakepullsthetrigger).

Super "Hi. Hello" Agad ako sa mga kakilala kong makakasalubong ko. Tanong dito tanond doon. Kung andito ba si ganito, ganyan. Maya-maya nakita ko na si Yuri (yuurimonster) na matagal ko ng hindi nakita. Nag papamiss at infairness effective. Hahaha. Kasama niya sila Cis (papapapapapapransis), Rhod (paparhodspeaks), at Rj (rjkolero/rjzsalazar). Binitbit ko muna si Yuri nag ikot-ikot sa mga tao sa Venue baka may hindi pa ko nakakamusta. Naalala ko mag ka holding hands kami ni Yuri nakalimutan ko kung sino yung nag tanong pero pabulong lang na halos mababasa mo nalang yung bibig niya, sabi "Kayo ba?!" with hand gestures na nakaturo sa kamay namin. Hahahaha. Nako parang hindi nila kami kilala ni Yuri. xD

Pag balik ko doon sa tinambayan nila si RJ naman ang kasama ko with Chy, kami naman na ni Rj ang mag kasama the entire meet up. Papicture kay ganito, ganyan. Tas sibat. Tas hanap ulit ng papapicturan. Maya-maya dumating sila Chii (greenchii), Jhico (justjhico), Leo (coffeenelly), Marose (marshmarose). Edi doon muna kami sa sulok nag retouch pa sila bago sumabak sa kamustahan tapos picture-picture narin kami.

Tapos hindi ko na maidetalye ang iba. Basta naging isang malaking papicturan at kamustahan yung event. Mabilis ang mga pangyayari. Hindi narin kami sumali/nakasali sa games. 

Hanggang sa mag Group Picture na. Nag picture narin yung Kada namin (HUGKADA) na as usual kulang parin. Pero ansaya parin. Andun sila Sel, Chii, Jhico, Neza, Cha, Yuri, Jerr, at Dioms. Si Dioms buti naabutan pa kami galing pang work yun. Si Jerr na layas hindi namin mahagilap si Yuri na maagang umuwi. Late narin dumating sila Hannah (akonadentistamo) with Kuya Jr (jrsnmgl). Tas si Kei (keiapooo/guianniedgardo) na halos paalis na ata kami ng dumating siya. Pati si Gelo (blognigelo) na kanina pa namin hinihintay nila Chy at Rj.

Naabutan pa kami ng ulan sa Chinese Garden. Kaya tambay pogi muna kami patila ng ulan, patuyo pawis, palit damit, picture, groupie.

Nung pwede ng makaaalis. Deretso kami sa SMManila. Kakain palang. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit nagkahiwa-hiwalay kami. Yung iba nasa MCDO, KFC, kami Jollibee. Hahaha.

After kumain, dumaan kami sa Beer Garden. Dinaanan namin yung set ng mga bloggers na nag inuman. Kami tambay pogi parin sa labas. Hindi alam kung ano ng gagawin. Kung uuwi, mag oover night, iinom. Nga-nga.

At the end. Nagpag usapan naring mag overnight kami kela Ish. Sinong mga kasama? Bahala na kung sino gusto. Hahaha.

..to be continued..

Ps: 2nd time ko na sa TSAMU, 2nd time ko narin sa Chinese Garden. No doubt. Maganda parin yung Venue. Swak sa dami namin. Damang-dama ko na amin lang yung place. Malayang nakakapag bonding ang bawat isa. Tsamka parang simpleng analogy nalang yan eh..

Uhm so okay may nag TA pala sakin na kesyo kahit walang kasama sa TSAMU eh okay lang tas kesyo hindi daw mao OP. PERO NGAYON KO LAN NABASA HAHAHAHAHA ANG TANGA.
