David...... meet our TAG MEMBERS!!!!!

[Lyn]

This will be our Introduction Wall, so don't be shy and introduce yourself.

tell us who you are, where you're from, a little something about yourself and of course about your ODD!!!!

any special skills, no matter how weird or dorky is welcome.

I'll start.......

I'm lyn, from Ontario, Canada. Not a minor but think like a pre-teen sometimes. Im more vocal in print than in person. I can always get away with a child's pass (more of a height issue there). I love music with actual tune and melody and singers who does'nt use auto-tune (well, sometimes, I indulge myself with some of those techy stuff).

Admired David since I first saw him on AI. I actually remembered him on star search but didnt really voted (please don't crucify me, I think Im not even allowed anyways). My recent ODD proof??? Well, I travelled under really really, REALLY bad weather just to see and hear David sing ONE song on the Chum FM Christmas Wish Event.

ODD Wish: to be able to get a pic with him and actually say something when he's in front of me! Yeah, I've seen him alright, but for some reason, always not able to pose with him ,more so say anything. I'm one living proof of that Archu-stupor Archies are talking about!!!!

Skill? I can literally pretend im listening eventhough Im singing, humming or daydreaming from the inside, usually with David serenading me.

that's all. now who's next????

[kat]

hi lyn! lol. ok i'm next

about me. my name is kat and i'm from the philippines. i'm 20 although some people (including my relatives) still think i'm 13. which gets frustrating at times. especially when watching a movie. lol. so like lyn i could get away with a child's pass. i'm 5 feet tall. lol. i graduated university this year with a bachelors degree in nursing. i also passed the board exam this year. yay! :)

my memorable archu-experience? we got in trouble during finale night. a few of my classmates and i sneaked out to the rooftop of our retreat house (where we were supposed to be studying for our board exam a few days later and oh yah TV wasn't allowed) to watch the A.I finale on my friend's portable telly. we made such a ruckus because when it was archie's turn the telly said "low battery". we were screaming "where's the charger?" so loud that our instructors came up. They had a fit when they discovered what we were doing. Lol. All for the love of David!

ODD: i'm a music dork but i'm a first time fan. i love music but no artist ever interested me enough to make me want to donate my time and effort to help promote him. david changed everything. when i turn on my computer i immediately searcg out new david stuff on the net. i help with posting archu-stuff at TA int'l and in my own country's archie fansite. i gave out his cds and successfully converted a few people who never cared for his music beefore. yes! lol. and btw his cd is the first one i've ever bought. haha. :)

my life's wish: to be able to meet david archuleta. hear him live, talk to him, and hug him tight.

what i'm thankful for: that i've made friends from people all over the world. and that although i've never met them they have become a part of my life. why? because we all share the same passion! and that is david archuleta! haha

skill: i dance and sing(although not that good. lol). draw and write poems a lot.

not a day goes by for me w/o david entering my mind. he makes me laugh in times when I don't even want to smile. Arch-angel for life!!!!

who's next? haha

[Wincy]

Ok, I'm the next...gosh, i owed Larissa something that I promised to write...but I don't know why I start writing here first...shhhh

My name is Wincy, I'm from Hong Kong, very far far away from David, although we have a geographical barriers between us but I flew thousands miles last week to US just want to see him singing in front of me...it's not easy for me, but i made it and he hasn't make me disppointed, he's an amazing! <--- so my ODD was temporarily fixed...but i know it will come back after my jet lag!

It's an amazing journey for me that I can have this valuable chance to meet him in person...it's a miracle...

I won't describle my duties in Teamarchie...as some of you may know already...hehe!

Lyn, i'm sure you will see david in the nearly future!!

who's next?

[Raihan Rafi]

Ok,Im next!Het ppl!I am Raihan from Singapore which is far far far away from David but im d closest to him by age!I am 13 yrs old(most probably d youngest)but ppl say i sound older(i dunno if dat is a compliment or just sth bad...)Anyway,my ODD started long long long time ago,when I was around 5(he was on starsearch).his performances awed me and since then im a singer coz David was d one who inspired me to sing.But my family and i had forgotten him until he appeared again...but this time my ODD worsen...no more archu-pills and im goin cray-zay!!

One of my greatest wishes is to meet my 2 fave singers!Leona n....DAVID!!my skills are playing badminton,draw,and sing.im really workin out my vocals....so pls wish me the best guys!!!

whos next now?

[Rogue]

hi! Im from Canada as well where it is covered with snow right now. Im old enough to be claudia's older sister but so childish that I can be jazzy's playmate. with that, I can say I'm addicted to Nintendo WII right now. Im into music. I sing and play the piano and guitar, but not so good. I made the biggest mistake of my life when I asked my mom to stop my piano and guitar lessons when I was younger because I want to hang out more with friends. I should'nt have done that! now my mom won't pay for those classes anymore since according to her, Im of age. what's that supposed to mean???

anyways, I discovered my ODD quite late actually. I was a big Jason fan before ( Well I still like him) but Im not one of those fans who go online until I saw David live in american Idol concert here in Toronto. Then I talked to Lyn (taaddaaaaa) through a common friend and found out about TeamArchie.

My ODD experience was in the AI concert. I travelled from my town to toronto for 5 hours to get to that concert and its all worth it. I get to shake David's hands!!!!!!! It was crazy that night but I managed to get in front of the row and yes, David smiled at me too!!!!!!!!

odd wish is for me to see him in concert again. He's really right up there!!! Voice and stage presence. what a talent!!!

[Lyn]

One Philippines, one Hongkong, Two Canada!!!! Yay, My country's ahead! it's indeed an Archuleta land! But wait the minute...... would you just give up and gave us the Crown as the most Archu--rabid country?????? I don't think so! Come on, what are you waiting for??? come and introduce yourselves. If your hesitant to give your real name, username is okay!
are you up for the challenge?????

[Jed24]

Me next,,,, I am Jed from the Philippines. A college student and I am taking up AB/BSE Literature,,, in other words i would become a teacher someday...lol

I became a true fan of David when I heard him sing imagine during the top 24 in AI

I am a book worm,,, I read the 6th and 7th Harry Potter book just in 1 weekend,,,

My wish to meet David in person and that he would go to the Philippines to have a concert

I am not sure what my skill is

[Marilou]

my turn...

Marilou. i use pseudonyms in DAvid community. I am an AI regular who goes by the name pilipinas_girl (1-2-3). I am a girl who is old enough to be David's young aunt, lol!!! I have a you tube account created only for DAvid - check it out if you have time. so please don't spam me if a friend invite has been sent by FearlessSultana!!! yeah, i have always fascinated the golden palace of Brunei, hence the name.

My AI experience. I crossed the border from Vancouver, BC to watch the AI concert in Tacoma, Washington and to have a glimpse of David!!! I didn't have ticket for the meet-and-greet but it was alright! I saw David in person!!! I made real friends in this virtual community that I meet up every now and then. that's the most important thing for me, the friendship that was developed among the fans of David.

DAvid. He's the reason for my existence!!! (wow, that's too deep!) 2008 has been all about David Archuleta!!! From January (audition) to the Finale to the AI Tour to CRUSH to CD to date... it's all about him!!! at work, the IT guy comes to update our workstation, history reveals David Archuleta 5 nights a week (my shift)... and my supervisor already knows it's me but she's not complaining, haha!!!

My ultimate dream. To have David Archuleta as my very special guest and render a song for me on my wedding day!!! when? idk, lol!!!

Skills, eh? arts and crafts. i never taste the food while cooking so who would know if it's tasty or bland, but I am told that i am a good cook!!!

next...

[Wincy]

[Jazel F.]

Hi everyone! :)

My name is Jazel. I was born in the Philippines and spent about half of my life there; currently living in Texas and have been for 7 years now. I'm 18 years old.... well.. that's what I used to say 4 years ago lol!

ODD. I have to say that I have NEVER in my life felt so connected to and cared about a celebrity before. It was IMAGINE that started it all for me. That was the episode where I first heard David sing. After that, I was gone lol! I have done things I haven't done before David came into the picture -- I lurked and started posting on the AI forums, made friends with people I've met online, went to a concert (AI was my first one, EVER, then Jingle Jam was the second) -- to sum it all up, I started participating in things related to David. He has also been able to turn me into a crybaby (he's made me cry a couple of times already, all in a good way, of course). No one has EVER touched my heart like David has. I've met him once, seen him twice. When I met him, he was sick, and there were soooo many people that he was in a rush. I was able to speak to him for a couple of seconds but unfortunately I forgot everything I wanted to tell him lol. I think I confused him a little bit too (sorry, DJ!). ANYWAY. At the Houston Jingle Jam, I was lucky enough to get awesome seats, and at one point during TMH, he saw me, pointed at me, and smiled. :) I'm surprised I got out of that place alive.

Hopefully he comes back to Houston because I still have sooooo much more I want to tell him. And of course, I would love to see this beautiful person again and hear his beautiful, beautiful voice live. :)

Skills. Well. haha! I'm quite the artsy person. :) I should be, since my major is Interior Design with a minor in Architecture.

Nice to meet you all! :)

[Penguin♥r]

HI! I'm Carrie... From Dalton, OH. I'm pretty sure that I am David's #1 fan in Dalton... but that's not hard. there's only like, 1,300 of us! Um... I've loved David since his audition on American Idol. I have never heard of star search until now... I'm gonna be 13 in 3 days (January 18th!!!) and I'm really excited about that...
ODD Proof: I listen 2 David's CD EVERY night, @ least 3 times, My planner for school is COVERED with David's name, I've got his pic taped to my binder, I am going to plaster my walls w/ his pics (not literally, just like, tons of pics), I'm on here every day, His # will be the first I call when i get my cell phone (i've got it memorized... 801 386 8196.), and i can talk about him ALL day. ask my friends. I definitely have ODD!
My wish: I want to meet him SO BAD! Actually my first goal is to go to a concert... then meet him.
Skills: I ♥ taking pictures, I can get really good ones. I play the saxophone in my school band, and I run Cross Country.

other things: I love penguins. Check my page 4 proof.
