How fast time flies! This was actually 1 year ago! I'm a year late for posting this! Haha! Well, I really waited for the 1 year anniversary. Teehee!
Ok...forgive me. LOL
Before I share my own insights, let me share 2 articles written about the event, the first one written by Mr. Chris Tiu himself!

It's nice to see our group picture included in both magazine articles! Something to treasure forever! :)
The Habitat for Humanity build was the very first outreach I was able to join with the TIUnatics. :) I have experienced a Habitat for Humanity build before way back in college, but not with Chris Tiu (yeah, there's no way he'll be there if it's our school's activity, haha!). Thanks to Cielo, Anna and Mike for helping me get along with the others in this activity. I was really happy I was able to join this. It was really a very fulfilling event!
I experienced doing two types of jobs. The first one was carrying sacks with gravel and passing it to another volunteer. No, not a sack-full of gravel. Haha! It won't reach the top if it was! It was like we helped transport gravel from below to the top of the house being built. Something like that.
The hardest was the second task we undertook, installing the rivets (yeah, I think that's what you call those type of nails) to connect steel frames together.

Chris also roamed around the site and greeted the volunteers. |

This is the actual video shown on TV, although this is not the clearest version. I recorded this myself just using my camera. I couldn't find the clearest version I saw before.

Chris and his birthday cake from Greenwich! Of course, shaped like a pizza! View from the back. Haha! |
Lunch from Greenwich! Yum yum yum! |
Autograph session! :) |
Thank you to Chris for uniting us all for this activity, and for celebrating his birthday with us! I'll never forget this day! :)
