kris kringle: day 2

26 november 2009

day 2 of our kringle :D .... unfortunately i was not there to enjoy the gift-giving .. i was still sick that day. but i heard from the guys that all went well and everybody had fun especially the new guys who joined in - 3 more from the hospitality division.

however i think the the new guys did not get the "right" message about the gifts - so we have to put down "some rules" hehehe .. ano ba yan .. kris kringle na nga lang me rules pa hahahah!!!

i was not able to give "my baby" his gift that day (me sick remember?!), but i did call a colleague to do some funny thing .. anyways the theme was "something funny".. so i remembered there was a sample mirror piece and i asked him to wrapped that up and put his name on it... and if he would ask - what's funny about it .. i told my colleague to pull "my baby's" face in front of the mirror and take picture ... hehehehehe .. that's the funny thing ... his face hahahaha!!!

anyways... they had fun (minus me!).. below are pics they took ..

i'm sick !!!

thursday pa... masama na ang pakiramadam ko... friday .. i rested.. totally did nothing at home...hoping to feel better by saturday... medyo nag ok naman ng saturday meaning no more fever .. pero sama pa rin kasi me sipon ako! sabado me bertdeyan akong pupuntahan... gabi pa naman at malapit lang so pahinga pa rin ng sabado maghapon - konting linis dito, linis doon lang ginawa ko. tapos around 6:45pm i headed na to the venue ng selebrasyon... sa rydges hotel - up on the 9th floor..

konting salo-salo lang naman with some friends of the celebrant - tipong surprise party ng mga kaibigan niya para sa kanya (hindi po kami yun - imbitado lang kami... heheheh) masaya naman ang gabing yon... kainan, kantahan at siempre klik-klik ng litratuhan...maaga ring natapos kasi me pasok pa kinabukasan... around 10:30pm nag uwian na rin kami (tapos nang kainan eh! :D)

linggo me pasok na kami... sama na ng pakiramdam ko na naman... pero tinapos pa rin ang maghapon .. lunes.. medyo malala na pero pasok pa rin ang beauty ko.. naghasik ng virus sa opisina .. hahahaha ... early afternoon pina uuwi na ako ni amo - eh alam kong me dapat pang tapusin na kapapelan so tinapos ko din .. pero grabe na feeling ko.. groggy na rin ako kasi uminom ako ng gamot - eh medyo malakas ang sedative effect niya ... so parang high na daw ako hahahaha....

martes .. wala na .. ndi ko na kaya ... uminom ulit ako ng gamot ng lunes ng gabi at nang madaling araw .. ayun - ndi ko na kayang bumangon ng umaga .. so tinulog ko na lang - maghapon yatang akong nakatulog - kasi dami missed calls eh! hahahaha ... eto sakit naman ng likod ko sa kakatulog yata ....

bukas ewan ko kung kakayanin ko nang pumasok... i feel so tired pa rin .. uy ha! hindi po H1 eto - weather is changing na dito from the super init to malamig na.. tapos biglang iinit na naman siguro yun na ang dahilan .. yun lang ang gusto kong maging dahilan .. heheheh

me imbitasyon pa sa huwebes - binyagan naman .. hayy sana .. umigi na ng husto pakiramdam ko. ayoko nang nagkakasakit. kasi i'm scared mag-isa lang sa bahay coz my flatmates of course have to go to work ..alangan naman mag babysit pa sila sa akin ano?! madaming what-ifs sa utak ko pag me sakit ako at ako lang mag-isa sa house. like: what if mag collapse ako - sino makakaalam?? aber??? kaya iniiwasan ko talaga magkasakit - pero ewan ko ba... bakit ako dinapuan ngayon?!?!?!

ingat na lang sa lahat ......

kris kringle: day 1

19 november 2009

second time we are having this kris kringle in the office, sad though ‘coz there were only a few of us compared to last year’s - you know , becoz of the global “ek-ek” that happened everywhere.

anyways, we asked the other divisions if they wanted to join – kabayans naman .. ayaw daw kesyo-ketal.. o sige ‘wag pilitin.. so kami-kami na lang. ang nakakatuwa - yung isang kasamahan namin (let’s call him “kuya”) ang nagpaalala pa sa amin ng kris kringle na ito! hindi ba daw namin gagawin ulit? last year kasama siya at aliw-na aliw naman... tuwang –tuwa sa palitan ng mga mumunting regalo. ang ginawa namin kada huwebes – last day of the week dito – ang bigayan ng regalo sa halagang sampung dirhamos lang (katumbas ng siento beinte sais pesos). isang kalahi pa ni kuya ang sumali rin ngayon kasi naenganyo sa kwento ni kuya at eksayted namang makigulo din.. pero ano daw mabibili sa sampung dirhamos lang? paliwanag namin: yun nga ang challenge at fun doon eh! kada linggo me "theme" baga kami...sinimulan namin noong 19 nov.. ang unang bigayan .. theme: “something wet & sticky” . . . :D

masaya naman at narito ang larawan ng kasiyahan namin ng hapon na yon..... pati nga bosing namin nakigulo din habang nagbibigayan ng regalo eh! inabangan din daw kung ano ang nakuha nino.... hehehehe

pinagsama-sama ko na lang sa isang kwadro ang lahat ng litrato – collage na lang ..

at isa pang kaarawan ang ipinagdiwang ...

muli isang munting salo-salo ang naganap sa aming tanggapan.. :D .. in celebration of Toffer’s bday ... simple lang, unlike last year na medyo bonggang kainan hehehe .. “austerity” sabi nga namin ...

although the day before – nagtreat din yung isang manager namin ng lunch of pizza & KFC – kasi akala niya that day yung bday ni Toffer!

masaya naman na kaming nagsalo-salo... mababaw lang naman ang kaligayahan naming magkakaibigan... basta magkakasama sa espesyal na okasyon ..me konting food, at siempre klik dito at klik doon.. ayos na! at eto ilang larawan ng munting kasiyahan.. :D


the birthday boy!
