I have always wanted to join the FreeHugs Campaign (http://www.freehugscampaign.org/) just to go out there, hug people you know, hug people you don't know, hug animals, hug light posts, hug anything you like.  As long as it puts a smile on your face/other ppl's face and make ppl's day a little better and sweeter.. then the mission is accompished.

 

This past Sunday, November 8, 2009 (yesterday), a group of CS ppl met up in Union Square and gave out free hugs (this happens quite frequently, once a month or so).  I was a little bit late as I was eating (yep.. eating.. ughh.. food.. !) and shopping the whole morning.. I printed out signs saying "Free Hug" with a smily face.. and just started giving out hugs to anyone who wants them... I think I probably gave out close to 100 hugs and was praised as an awesome hugger.. (not to brag or anything.. but i am a pro hugger.. hehe)..

 

It was super fun.. most people loved the idea while some were suspicious thinking that there is either a catch or that we are trying to pass out Swine Flu.. all and all.. many said that it is such a sweet thing to do and made their day.. yay.. I will totally do this again.. so next time u see me or another else holding a free hug sign.. don't worry.. there's no catch.. just a awesome warm and tight bear hug hoping to put a smile on ur face..

 

 

SHARE THE LOVE! SPREAD THE WORD! HUG HUG HUG!
