Gastronomic Adventure in Dampa.

Last friday, our team decided to have dinner in Dampa macapagal and also to celebrate our supervisor's birthday. It was planned weeks before and finally natuloy na din.

Some of the team outside the building..

The team goes to Hongkong Lion Paluto and Restobar. Its was the first choice because some of my teammates tried Hongkong Lion before with their previous team and according to them Hongkong lion has private rooms available for team buildings.

Hongkong Lion also caters to wedding, baptism or any special occasions. When we went there, nakar-reserve na yung private room for us. The place is free for 3 hours with free use of videoke. Perfect for those who are planning of team building.

The ground floor of the Hongkong Lion...

As i was said, it was also the birthday celebration of our supervisor so me and the others drop by in Red Ribbon at MOA just to buy cake for our Mudrakels.

Dedication cake from Red Ribbon.. Ang cute no?

The birthday girl...

Our lafang session started after a couple of minutes...

And here's our food:

Dampa will always be seafood haven... We had grilled liempo, chili crabs, buttered shrimps, baked tahong, sinigang sa miso, calamares, grilled tilapia. Did i miss something?

After dining, we had nothing to do but make kulitan in the room. Someone is singing while the others are taking pictures etc... We were so happy that time, sumakit ang tyan ko kakatawa...

Matute Girls... :)

Its always a good bonding for a team to have something like this. We enjoyed our dinner and we also bond with each other.

For those who want to have an idea of how much this team dinner costs us. The total of our food in Hongkong Lion costs P4,800 something, we are a group of 13 people and we share for the expenses. All the food that you see plus softdrinks is included in the P4,800++ except the cake. Sobrang dami pang natira and what's nice is nakapag-uwi pa kami ng food..

Till our next Gastronomic adventure... San naman kaya?

Team Building & Spongebob Party

I posted here about our scheduled team building last time. After our shift last friday (3pm), we all headed to Laguna and its also our planned surprise party for our supervisor.

"Matuterians" at the company lobby.. hehe

Dangsky Resort

As i was said, Dangsky Resort is new to us and we didn't know what to expect until we arrive, pictures are not enough to say that its really big for our group and very affordable considering its a peak season. With 3 rooms, 2 shower rooms and cr's, dirty kitchen with free use of the lpg gas, all are really good. I recommend this resort for those looking for a big place for team buildings, swimming party etc.

Anyway, we arrived in the place past 6pm and we didn't waste our time. We prepare the food, party favors and with the help of the boys and cooperative team mates, we were able to surprise our supervisor.

Team Garting

My supervisor said that he was really surprised and it was his dream to have this kind of kiddie party, it is not that grand but he was thankful for the effort.

  

The birthday boy with his gifts :) 

After the picture taking, we had our post merienda..

 The cupcake...

 The merienda - Spaghetti and Andok's chicken

We also prepare all the foods for the whole night until breakfast. To name a few:

Grilled Liempo

Grilled Fish

Grilled hotdogs

Adobo

 Desserts: fruits and we also have leche flan

Aside from dipping in the pool, resorts package includes the use of billiards and the videoke (no need to prepare P5 for the machine because its free!)

Me on the billiards and Chucky the videoke queen! hehe

We swim during the free time, i love the pool because its not really hot nor cold, tama lang ang timpla. Pictures galore around the area.

 (L-R) me, jhoy, jane, janice, phong and kelly

 

 Rest, drink and putting sunblock...

 second round...

After dipping in the pool, at around 1am we started our games and it was really fun. We had the famous Pinoy Henyo with the theme "Green". All the words in the Pinoy-Henyo game has double meaning. Super fun! We had videos of the game but i dont know how to upload it here. Sayang.

Aside from the Pinoy-henyo, we also had Buhol-Buhol game...

The games was really fun and we all enjoyed it. Laugh trip all night. After the games, we're all back in the pool hanggang sa magsawa. They all stay there until 5am but i cant stay that long so i have to take the shower at 3am and just jokingly around after.

When its time to leave and while the others are preparing their things, we took pictures around for the last time. Me and jhoy (i was the model and she was the photographer.. haha) thinks of the blog were following and reading because almost everyday this blogger posts her everyday wear and she pose like this:

 

The outfit:

Top from Mossimo, Jeans from 168 mall, flipflops from Flojos, Bag from Havaianas.. ano pa ba?

gayang-gaya ba jhoy? haha

Anyway, i enjoyed our team building. If you're planning of availing the resort, you can contact me here in my blog. The rent was P7,000. Its really worth your money.

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...

Looking forward for another great year with my team :)

Merry Christmas Team Gary!!!
