Friday’s beach cleaning: Day 2

Well, I don’t have pictures to provide in this post, but oh well…

It happened in Friday… Had to wait for three days hoping that the facebook group posts something but they didn’t, maybe they’re just busy on something… I trust the admins in there…

Anyways…

We had this deal that we’d gather by 16:30 and start cleaning by 17:30…

eLeet passed by my house, went to eat some Falafel from our CO-OP, bought some bags and Latex gloves (Glad we got the large sized ones… And sorry for forcing you to buy the non-powdered ones man) and reached the spot around 4:45… No one there… I was close enough to run away because we’re late and no one is there… Thats what we thought =P

Someone waved his hand from far ahead and happened to be one of the admins… Then everyone arrived later…

The very interesting thing, 3 newcomers arrived… which was like WOAH!! And the very (un)interesting thing is that 14 people arrived from 104 confirmed approval of arrival thingies including me, the admins, my friends and the 3 newcomers… I mean c’mon, It’s much better to see 20 people approving and 17623518723658127 not approving when 13 of the those who approved arrives… Atleast a big amount of people kept their word… No need to give false hope or whatever…

Anyways… We started to clean things out, but the beach was LOADED with families… But why not? It’s Friday…  We thought of picking up the far easy part to clean, but we picked the close crowded side to clean… And here’s what happened (Well, what I witnessed):

*   DAIPERS!! LOADED DAIPERS!! DAIPERS THAT ARE SO HEAVY!! LIKE A DAIPER OF A BABY WHO ATE 2 PLATES OF KABAB!!
*   Chicken bones, sandals, plates, glass plates, underwears and other normal stuff (Yes, I consider glass plates and underwear normal stuff)
*   ZOMBIE FISHES AGAIN!!!
*   Cute little girl who helped us by handing us er family’s trash… I swear that was really touching (DONT GET THE WRONG TOUCHING IDEA!!! I MEANT EMOTIONALLY TOUCHING YOU IDIOTS!!!)

But thanks to my sickness (fever), I only collected 2~3 bags… I had to take a big break… I almost fade out…

However, our guys collected around double of last time’s amount… Which didn’t look like we made any accomplishment, but we did… Because the amount of trash was unimaginable…

The good thing, some families actually started to gather their own trash in one big bag (one man handed me some broken bottles… It’ll be a fugly scene if a kid step on that)

The bad thing, some families started to throw their trash near us so we’d pick it up… Now thats just mean and ill-mannered, isn’t it?

Well, It started as helpless as we’re about to give up, and ended up acomplishing almost as double as what we acomplished last time with +3 members…

I really appreciate the work our guys accomplished. I mean, even when I went down they kept on pushing themselves further and did a great job cleaning things off… I’d like to apologize to whatever latency I caused due to my illness and all…

I just hope we could do it another time… It’s fun for me… I’d do it again and again…
