Team party at the Linden Suites

Its always a tradition to celebrate a year-end party in every company and to our company, we always had 3 celebrations, our company year-end party, our Pod or Department's xmas party and lastly our team xmas party. This makes me busy aside from the parties outside work. From the 3 celebrations, i haven't had the chance to attend the yearend party of our company because i was abroad, when i got back, its time for our team party and i was one of the host.

On the day of our party (Dec. 17), my teammate and I filed a half-day leave to do the errands and check-in at the hotel. We do the groceries at Market-Market and Megamall for our surprise give-away, bought cellphones for the prizes and gifts for our exchange gift.

At exactly 3pm, Jhoy and I checked in at the Linden Suites hotel and we occupy the Executive Suite with 2 bedrooms.

The executive suite was big, its not new to me since ive been to different 3star and 5star hotels locally and abroad and what i liked about the Linden suites is the interior design of the room.

We prepared the venue, set the things that we needed for the party and arranged the food, giveaways etc...

Bingo Area...

This is how it looked like after the preparation so when the team arrived, all is set.

Ambers food

At around 5pm, our team arrived one by one. We are all 22 pax that night...

We took some pictures while waiting for the others. We have Ambers for our food.

After we ate, we only prepare one game and that is Bingo. I borrowed my Lola's Bingo paraphernalia and like ive said with my previous post, to make the game exciting, we ask some of our team and supervisors to sponsor a prize and that includes us.

Some of the prizes. Others are not available that night but still included in the game.

Even if we are the host, we still join the game. I was eyeing the Cherry Mobile P3 phone because its so cute but we are not allowed to play for that prize because me and jhoy was the sponsor of the Cherry mobile fone. Unfortunately i didnt win any of the prize. Sad nman :(

The team playing Bingo...

After the never-ending Bingo game, we started the exchange gift and i received a 2011 planner. We dont have the tradition of making bunutan and create a wishlist because it will not surprise the receiver. Instead, we announced to bring any gift worth P200 above and we will make bunutan on the event itself.

Me and Emily

I didn't expect to received this but i was happy because i am a planner person. I love to write and compute for expenses.. haha.. And planner is one of my important things for my everyday life because it helps me track my expenses and budget...

I informed my teammate who gave me this that i appreciate her gift. Thanks Emily again :)

After the party that ends around 1:00am, our sup thanked the team for participating in our party, announced something and before we officially end, Jhoy and I thanked them again and we promised our supervisor prior that week that we will share the blessings that we receive (amongst our team, Me and Jhoy was the highest receiver of incentive monthly hehe). We bought a small goody package for each and everyone as our xmas gift...

And so the party ends, its time for liquor party. Inuman na to!!!

Me and Jhoy

Preparing for a pillow fight..hehe (L-R) Jhoy, Janice, me and Rina

Grabe halos walang tulugan.. Sobrang saya... Inuman, kwentuhan, asaran...

Our company's xmas party

The Groovy 70's was our company's theme this year so everyone or some of employees obviously wearing their best 70's. Our company occupied the whole 3rd floor (functions 1 to 5) of SMX Convention center and the place was jampacked with party people. One of the highlights of the party is the Retrospect as our guest aside from the fabulous raffle for this year. Despite the recession, our company still gives us the best christmas / year-end party.

The token that was given to each employee upon registration.

Inside the party venue, it was really fabulous.

with some of my previous teammates

Maki - appetizer

My first plate. We had a sumptuous dinner served by the VS&F Classic Food International catering and mind you the food was really delicious and its an eat-it-all-you can food.

Retrospect was the guest for this year's party. They just did a two-hour show which makes us sing and dance on the dance floor.

with ayen and cris drinking Pseudo Margarita (my fave cocktail drink)

Team elmer - my previous team

After the party (around 12am), we took some photos as a remembrance of our year-end party.

That day was really fantastic, fabulous and tiring but all worth it.

Tto Louie's Birthday

Saturday. Oct. 10, 2009

It was Tto Louie's birthday and they decided to prepare dinner for our relatives, instead of going out in some restaurants, they held it in their house so aside from dinner, we still have time to talk (chismisan in other words) haha. At about 6pm, i asked hubby to prepare so we can go ahead to Sta. Cecilia where the dinner is. It's not really a party because only relatives are there and some of tto louie's officemates, maybe they invited some of their neighbors.

We are the first relative to arrive in my aunt's house and i took some pics so i can share it in this blog.

These are the food: Veggie salad, Lechon, Cordon Bleu, Kaldereta, Prawns, All kinds of Maki, Lasagna, Buko Salad, Macaroni Salad and Fresh Lumpia...

the lechon na ulo lang..hehe

Party tray of Maki's ordered from Kitaro Sushi - this proves that our family loves Japanese food. This tray is full of maki, i just took this pic after the dinner that's why the tray has some space but it's full of different kinds of Maki like California maki, tamago sushi (my fave), ebi sushi, futomaki etc...

For the kids, they prepare marshmallows and different kinds of fruits like melon, strawberry, grapes, mango, banana cut into pieces so they can dip it to chocolate fondue.

Tami enjoys and really love staying in this station and she loves eating strawberry, me and hubby also like it specially when dipped to chocolate and the chocolate is really yummy, it's like hershey's.

i love it!

After taking some pics, i decided to eat because im so hungry na.. In this picture is me with Ate Dalyn.

Hubby and cousin are talking about online games.

my cousins and hubby after eating, super kwentuhan na...

I took this pic at around 10pm, hubby fell asleep maybe because he was in front of the computer from morning till afternoon playing games and he holds my bag tightly...hehe..
