First Time

Last weekend was the most hectic yet exciting weekend I have ever had! My team had our GA at Gerry’s Grill in Greenhills, San Juan. It was supposed to be a trip to La Luz but they changed the minds a few weeks before December 15 that’s why we ended up having it in the city. For the record, I still wanted to go to La Luz. The reason the others agreed to change the plans was to give the other members a chance to join the GA but I guess they still had other important things to do that day which was why they were not able to attend. (I had a hard time putting that line in and making it sound positive Ü) Thank you Selle (and Resty), Randy, Marion, Lhoi, Kris, Chris, Dan, Tom-Tom and Badette for spending your precious time and have a small celebration with the team. :)


Afterwards, I had another GA to attend. This time, it’s my shift’s GA and even if Karen and I were not able to sleep much the morning of that day, the venue that my boss chose to hold the GA was so tempting because it would be my first time going to such a place! You’ve heard of having team building sessions in a hotel suite, right? How about a team building session in a motel suite? Being in the Philippines, people here have a different idea when spending time in a motel. I hope people do not get into trouble with the pictures I posted. :)


Inside Shhh...


Whoa!Ü

Is that what I think it is? A flashlight?Ü
Now that I drank beer and been to a motel, what else needs to be done? It’s not really something I needed to do. Rather it is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Be able to attend the Simbang Gabi (Christmas evening mass), again. Check out this website to find out more about Simbang Gabi, http://www.rcam.org/library/SIMBANG_GABI.htm. I filed for a week long leave to be able to do it and took advantage of the opportunity to be able to hear mass with my family everyday, for nine days until Christmas. Hopefully, I can save my leaves and have weekends off schedule to be able to continue doing this tradition next year. :)
