Christmas and Yearend Report

CHEERS!!! After 5 months and 12 days, I'm updating my blog now... hehe (someone even asked me few months back, if I still have an intention to update this blog - if none, she'll remove my blog's link in her blog. so, here I am updating my blog; napressure e noh?!)

I don't intend to cite all the things that happened for the past 5 months, it might take you million years reading it... hehe. -- some highlights will do or I'll just give the link of my teammate's blogs. hehe

The year 2006 for me? quite interesting, full of UPs and DOWNs, GOODBYEs and HELLOs
...in general, good ~ k lang, pwede na! hehe. kakapagod at kakastress lang tlga, I've been wanting to have a long vacation para makapagrecharge kahit papaano...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And so, this is Christmas...

Wow! Bilis ng panahon, Christmas na nmn! (actually, 2 days na lang e pasko na tlga!)... pero pero pero nasa Manila pa din ako, in a while, alis na din nmn na ako pero daan pa ng mall kasi wala pa ako nabibili ni-isang gift tlga, grrr! in other words, 'di ako prepared this Christmas! hehehe. kakahiya...

Syempre this season, party dito at party doon!
... we had 2 Christmas parties in HP, 1 for the whole HP and 1 for our bundle... considered ba yung sa sub-team namin?. hmm... Christmas outing ata yun.. hehe

Le Carnivale was the theme for this year's HP Christmas party (clowns, mimes, magicians all over the place), one of the well-organized parties held by HP. It was held in Le Pavilion (Roxas Blvd.) and the food was catered by Hyatt (pero 'di sya masyadong masarap! hehe)... open bar kaya super cool pro 'di ako masyado uminom kasi may work ako ng 5am. sad! --- Highlight of this event? Our team's presentation won!surprisingly e 1st runner up! hehe... congrats!

Pics, pics, pics from this event:


and how about the BI/DW White Christmas party? it was fun! it has held in Vic's house (thanks Vic, syempre, dun nako natulog... hehe). Cool naman yung party; as usual, dami din food (kaso hindi din masarap.. haha!).... yung beer? di masyado malamig pero ok na din yun...

Highlight? White Christmas costumes!!! for our team, we've chosen white kiddie party... 'di kami nanalo as a team, and 'di din ako nanalo na best in costume! wehehe! 'di ko nadefend title ko pero oks lang, deserving naman yung winner... saka nagpalit na din ako after 30 minutes na suot yung costume ko, hihimatayin na'ko sa sobrang higpit eh.. hehe. pero really appreciate na super game din mga teammates ko, todo prepare, with all the props like party poppers, hats, lollipops, ballooons!!! thanks thanks my dear teammates :)

syempre, dapat may proof kaya 'eto mga pics namin (in kiddie/'engot' costume):

And finally, we had another CDW B teambuilding last week-- hmm, outing sya bale! hehe. after some weeks of handling 100+ MAP tickets which is really stressful, we've decided to have a break from work kahit 2 days and 2 nights lang... :)

1st stop: tagaytay, the day after our BI/DW White Christmas party, magkakasama na uli kami.... we left Manila around 6pm, dumaan sa ATC to meet Primo and Alvin, then nasa Tagaytay na ng 9pm.. dinner sa Leslie's and coffee sa Starbucks. we've stayed in Vic's place. (yes, kina Vic uli, kulang na lang siguro e ampunin na nya ako!!! haha)... wala masyado activity kasi wala pa si Mats and Primo, kaya kwentuhan, tulog and picture dito, picture doon! ganda eh!





2nd and final stop: san juan, batangas - la luz... grabe ang byahe! kakapagod magdrive! pero ok naman yung place... yun nga lng, wla masyado pwdng gawin pag gabi... good thing, primo brought us a vodka and a wine! kaso bitin, super bitin... activities? serious stuff (take note, stuff at hnd stuffs! hehe) HBDI and Motives Profiler, next exchange gift -- I got another parker pen (thanks Alvin), then Primo and Mats gave their gifts to everyone -- USB light and USB charger; I've given my gift to the team as well - a mug with our team's picture, see sample print below (seryoso ito?!):

disclaimer: syempre, hindi lahat e ako yung may malaking picture (para naman akong politician kung gnun?!). syempre, kung knino yung mug e sya yung may malaking picture... :)

other activities? kain, picture sa beach (note: picture lang, di kami nakaligo kasi high tide saka lakas ng alon... baka wala na makabalik at magDM nyan, baka sa Manila bay na din kami aabangan. hehe)

pics, pics, pics...
















after dinner, kulong sa room and card games: UNO, 1-2-3 pass; and sabi nga ni alvin, our team's favorite '1-7-11' na may kasamang shot syempre! hehe

Highlight of this event? sabi nga ni Elvin - 'eto ang peak ng team building! haha! another card game introduced by Primo - RAISE!


-- wala si becca? tulog at may tama na! haha, gumising nmn sya after, nung open forum na.. hehe...

thanks everyone for making this possible! sana next time makaalis pa din tayo! really enjoyed this trip kahit bitin! 'til next time...

SAD part of Christmas? Me and the rest of the team will be working on Christmas and New Year! 9pm-12am ako sa December 24th, laptop ko ang kaharap habang ang lahat e nagno-noche buena... huhuhu. sa New Year, better - atleast 6am to 12nn, after ng mga happenings so OK lang, wlang tulugan! pero tama nga sabi ng karamihan, wala extra pay kahit magwork ka ng holiday... sad at sad tlga!!! worse, wala din ako magawa... new hire pa lang ako, andyan na yung promise na may ilalabas na policy! aba! almost 4 years nako sa company, dami na nadagdag (from 23 to 160+) at dami na rin ngresign pero wala pa din... well, gnun tlga pero sana gawan nila ng paraan bago mahuli ang lahat... hmp!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I need to end this entry now, it's 4pm and need to pack my things and uwi nako, yehey! 1 year din ako hindi nakauwi!!!

Merry Christmas everyone... hope you'll spend this season with your family and friends, yung iba kahit may work, may off naman e, for sure bitin ang bakasyon pero sana ma-enjoy pa din ng lahat...

by the way, salamat ng marami sa mga taong 'di ako nawawala sa Christmas list nila.. naging habit ko na din magpicture ng mga gift na narereceive every Christmas. hehehe. again, thank you! :)

Have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

See you in 2007!
