Damn, i didnt expect so much comments already. I wanted to make some things a bit clearer:To Crystal: I wasn’t
referring to you as a freeloader. I know you made the bubbles and
stuff so its all good. Sorry if i made it seem like i was talking
about you.To Danny: Your
right. I expected some critics but really some of the comments
were really unneccesary in that their only function was to demoralize
us.To Alan: I’m cool w/ your
opinion of the tea. I just felt like you sorta downplayed the
amount of work the guys and me put into this when you kept saying that
this fundraiser could have been done a lot better. dont worry
about it though, i sure you didnt mean it that way.To Scott: Derek Ray Scott Jr. does sound like someone’s name…heh
And to make it a little clearer in my rant yesterday:
when i say freeloaders i mean anyone who wanted free stuff w/o
contributing to the fundraiser. again crystal i wasnt talking
about you.O my:

so busy today!
I helped out the CSA Bubble Tea Fundraiser thing from 9-2ish today.
I even skipped class so i can help out some more. The event was great
in that it brought our club together and got our name out.
Unfortunately because we didnt advertise and stuff we did not make back
the money we spent on it.I dont want to complain but i need to get a few things off my chest. What erked me so much today were two types of people: the freeloaders and the critics.
Come on its a fundraiser, which means we are trying to raise money for
our club! Every free drink we give out was a potential 3 dollars more
we could have earn. Normally I wouldn’t be too bothered by it but I
was the one who shelled out the 200 dollars to get all the supplies.
We really needed the money people.To the critics (and o were
there a lot of you). Yea we could have done the event better. Shoulda
would coulda… yea i understand. We tried our best making the tea
taste good. Trust us; we worked hard trying to get the watery taste
out and getting it at least satisfactory was awesome for us guys (since
we arent expert bubble tea makers). Hearing the many critics just say
shit and laugh at us was really bugging me. It’s so easy to say stuff
say stuff…help run it next time if you think you can do it much
better. I know i will do quite a few things different if i run it next
time…I’m alright now, but seriously people need to think about their
actions…this is how i feel. i’ll stop complaining now and let the
current status quo continue on…Btw I gotta give props to Derek, Ray and Scott. They rocked today.
the rest of the day i went to class, then i had to do interviews for
first year ambassadors, then i held the tennis meeting from 7-9ish.
Very successful; just need to finalize the teams for Saturday.The tennis club is my #1 priority. I use to have a clear idea on what my #2 priority but now im just not sure…

aw poor u, how amazin u kept that smile on ur face tho the entire time i saw u, but i know the how hectic it can get with customers workin as cashier for my parents’ restaurant
It’s all good. At least we had a decent turnout
.
it was definitely a tough day and a huge challenge, but I think we came a LOOONG way since early this morning. We did a lot of work today, we should get the week off, lol.
I’m hungry..someone feed me
i just want to thank u guys for all ur hard work…i tried my best to make the event successful too and yes i do agree to wat ur saying…
hope i wasnt part of either group 
sorry i couldnt stay that long to help out
what? tennis club is your no. 1 priority?
j/k. i think i know what you mean.
ps- you give so much to all the things you do. don’t worry about what other people think; do it for yourself.
oh btw…derek ray scott ‘jr.’ sounds like one of those southern names.
only natural for people to be critics when something doesn’t go as well as expected but certain comments were unnecessary from certain individuals. i feel ya tho, you guys did ur best given what you got so give us a break
thx alex… im was one of the freeloaders… its not like i didn’t help out with the fundraiser.. i was the one who took four hours to make the freaking bubbles, and then cleaned up the stuff from afterwards when lai took them home…ok i didn’t have 200 dollars to fork up … im sorry i am 300 dollars in debt…and its still building up…you want three dollars fine… ill fork that up to lai later today! being called a freeloader makes my day goes by much much better especially coming from you.
you know what if you ask people around you i’ve done more than enough to at least get a free cup of bubble tea… so don’t even say anything.
i just said it was mediocre, i didn’t ask for anything and was willing to help. But i wasn’t gonna buy something i didn’t want to drink
i def understand, all good, there will be next time yo!!
i miss you like WHOA!
