About me: Hi everyone! This is Yau-Man from Survivor:Fiji! Michelle created this page for me because I was reluctant to deal with computers and web pages when I am not working. She has now given it back to me to take care of. Thanks to Michelle for starting this for me.
I know there is a movement out there to get Survivor Fans and viewers to send me money so I can get my million Dollars. I really do appreciate the sentiment and your generosity. However, I am current quite well financially situated so I would like to urge you if you are still inclined to part with your dollar to make a donation to your favorite charity. My charity is our local Food Bank (www.foodbankccs.org) or if you can afford $32, please buy a share of the Homeward Bound Project (www.ipohomeward.com)
Recently an internet person, that some of my close net buddies lost, i knew of him, but not met him.... I still feel their pain as my own and I feel the need to post this to you :)
We are Friends I got your back You got mine, I'll help you out Anytime! To see you hurt To see you cry Makes me weep And wanna die And if you agree To never fight It wouldn't matter Whos wrong or right If a broken heart Needs a mend I'll be right there Till the end If your cheeks are wet From drops of tears Don't worry Let go of your fears Hand in hand Love is sent, We'll be friends Till the end!!!!
Hey Yau-Man! Thanks for the add! Earl and yourself are what I believe the best survivors to ever play the game, except for Indianapolis' own Rupert ;) Thanks for the good times Yau, you definately made me excited for Thursday nights! Have a great weekend!
Poor Yau-Man! I was so sad the first time they did it in Fiji and they did it again!
This is a bit nutty, but I played as you in an Online Reality Game titled 'Reality TV's Most Memorable Contest' and I won! Here's one of the entries I had to make - a little .gif montage of you!
hi yau...just watched last week's episode online. bummer, dude. and then you barely got any face time or confessionals! what the !*#? no matter how sly or slick you play this game, you're still sweet guy in person. congratulations on everything! ~jenny
Awww, man!!! I can't tell you how bummed I am about you getting voted off last night. I am inspired by your departing words and good wishes to your fellow tribemates. You are truly a man of great integrity.
Evne though you got voted off you are still the best Survivor player there ever was. The only reason why I started watching Survivor was cause you reminded me of my dad
