“Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends." ― Margaret Thatcher This is our second year of celebrating Christmas together as family. This year’s theme is Royal blue which represents superiority, elegant, rich, sophisticated and intelligent. We are not just an ordinary graduate school classmates we are different to what are the usual professional acquaintances, Superiority in expressions of love and friendship, we love and respect each other, and our personality fits perfectly. We are rich in love, esteem, joyfulness and dreams. We execute elegant for this event which corresponds on how valuable we are to each other. Sophisticated as we believed that we are cultivated with our wide experiences, we are smart and intelligent in our ways. Standing from left: Francis Jose S.

Earlier as November 2013 we started to plan this event, our venue is the same as last year. Unit 506, 5th Floor, West Tower, One Archers Place, Taft Avenue, Vito Cruz, Manila. This year’s party were made possible thru e-plan – we organized this online. Using Facebook, electronic mail and short multimedia messaging.
it's party time! The party host is Chenee and the Games Masters are Sandra and Ken, the Best Attire of night in-charge and prizes is Mikz and Trish. The First Game is Cake Relay. Participants are Mikz, Louie, Ruth – the only girl to compete, Franjo and Tolitz. The players will eat the cake using their lips only. The first one that will finish eating everything in the plate will be the winner. Tolitz, the winner of cake relay. Aha! the most expert in eating of something using only his lips? Good job! The second game is Ice cubes relay. The Participants are divided into two teams with 5 members. Members of team A are Ash, Rhyan, Trish, Mikee and Ruth. The Team B are Chenee, Dennis, Arvin, Louie, Franjo and Mikz. 5 pieces of ice cubes are provided for each team. Each member of the team will melt the ice cubes as quickly as they can. They can rub it between their hands or their clothes, or in any parts of their body except the mouth. The first team to melt the ice will be the winner. Team A, the winner, certified liquefying expert! The third game is Cup pyramid with the twist relay. The participants are split into two teams with five members. Team A are Chenee, Ash, Dennis, Tolitz and Franjo. Team B are Trish, Arvin, Ruth, Arvin and Mikee. For each team, there are 5 cups with liquors in it and a plate of spicy chips. Each member of the team will drink the liquor and overturn the empty cup, then eat some chips until his mouth will be empty. Once done, the next member of the team will do the same. The overturned cups should be form pyramid by the last player and the plate of chips should also be empty (so, it’s up to the team to collaborate how they could divide the chips for them). Team A, certified drinker and spicy lover! The Forth game is Charade. Two teams will compete in this game. Each team compose of 6 members. Team A are Ken, Trish, Ash, Arvin, Dennis and Sandra. Team B are Rhyan, Mikee, Ruth, Louie, Franjo, Tolitz. The category of this game is Filipino movies. In 3 minutes, the member of the team will act the word composition while the other members of the team will guess the title of the movie he acted. Team B, the best actors and actresses! Franjo: yeaaah! The Fifth game is Who is it?. Everyone in the house can join the game except the game Masters Ken and Sandra. The group will form a circle. The player will be blindfold at the centre of the circle (We select the player by giving the higher number over the participants e.g. there are 12 participants, we give 23, each member will count 1 up to 23. The 23rd will be the player). The participants will rotate, once the game master says stop, the player will ask the person in front of him “Who is it?” the person will answer but in the weird voice. Then the player will guess who that person in front of him is. The winners are those who guess the person! Who is it? winners are Tolitz, Mikz, Chenee and Ruth The sixth game – the last one is 7-up! . The game is for everyone in the house. Oh, this is kindda uneasy to describe. Let say I was the one who start the game, I will say “one” while putting my right hand in my heart/chest, then the next person at my left side will say “two”. The person at my left side who will say “two” will either use his left or right hand for directional purposes. If he choose his left hand, naturally, the person who will say “three” is me, but if he will choose his right hand, the next person in his left will say “three” and so on, until 7th, that will put it on top of the head. Same thing “direction” wherever it points out, the next person will start again on “one” Hope I describe this clearly. The one who will make a mistake will be out of the game until the two will compete. One will be declared as winner. Mikz won! the exchange gifts delicious food we shared ..all i can say is wow! may letter pa! (pero ako yung ginising ninyo para mag close ng pinto?! hehehe) you're very much welcome guys! and we are happy that you joined this group. Morning bond
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year everyone!
Pick your cups. Cheers!

A celebration of food, drinks and music! Christmas is a time to celebrate the love of God for us! This year's committee for our Department Christmas Party were all boys. From left : Vergilio Lerin Jr., Marlon Burayag, Ken Fortaleza and Niño Noel Reyes December 20, 2013, we started our party at 6:30pm, the food feast at Dads Saisaki Kamayan- West Avenue. The Dads Cross over buffet, with over 200 foodstuff from Filipino, Japanese, Mediterranean and Chinese cuisine. December is peak season, so to make everything smooth, we reserved the venue 1 month before our scheduled party. Arrived earlier at Dad's. The waiter politely guided me to the reserved area, Very good customer service. Yay! the letter "F" was missing in my family name.. LOL confirmed! it was really for me... anyway, "it sounds like" assuming it's just silent F. (Pag-pilitan natin yan!) The dinner started while the lady singer of Dad's sang Katy Perry's "Roar" so it was really fun. Her rendition was nice to hear, her voice was amazing and in-fairness she is updated with her music! "I got the eye of the tiger, The dinner was good, everyone were satisfied and fully charged! After our abundant dinner we proceed to Songbook KTV and Sports Bar, Victoria Towers for our program and bonding as well. We prepared surprises for the girls and for our Boss, Ms. MC --The birthday girl! -A birthday cake with matching party poppers.. aha! celebración engrande! and also, to make a difference, we gave them roses as we performed the new directions "you don't know your beautiful" ----a wrong direction version of the song? "yes! wrong direction!" hahah but i believed we'd entertained them. Other than roses, we handed our department's gift to Ms. MC -A gift certificate at the Spa. >>>Because she deserves to relax and rejuvenate. Our simple gift was 90 minutes executive Aromatherapy for two. The Aromatherapy blends elevate the classic Swedish massage into an experience that renews the spirit. Seek Balance, Energy, or Serenity. (the spa website http://www.thespa.com.ph) Well, the girls also had their dance number .. Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera's "Feel this moment" and the harlem shake? ...hmmm a zumba dance and "whatever steps".. hahaha >>> nice one girls! Our CFO Sir Roy Joined us and also had fun in our Games. The all time favorite Pinoy henyo, balloon relay, and there's more.... Guess the song title who made the night extra gleeful. We had category like places as "Cabanatuan".. (na hindi nahulaan..), Things as "Keyboard" vegetable as "Kalabasa" ..and many more in our Pinoy henyo game. An extra fun during the balloon relay. ...the room was surrounded with laughter as Sabina tried to pop the balloon. Imagine? Sab tried to push the balloon and then she slides in it (toink!) and tried again to push and slides (Toink! again!) and nothing happens... fun! fun! fun! Abegail as Ms. Rosa's tried to push the balloon against her, Abi's body stretched (wooooht!) and stretched (wooooht!) and stretched (woooooooht!) . (kailangan na ni Abi, mag pataba para tumibay..hahaha) and also nothing happened until? ...Games master Nino, did something to the balloon, he actually, squeezed it in favor of Sab and Abi! >>>(medyo-madaya!) peace! hahaha ('Wag ka na mag protesta, magkalaban sila Sab at Abi, so this is fair! hahah) The simplest one was.. "Guess the song title" it was easy with Ges's group (intro palang Alam na?!) but to Ms. Bhing's group? well, they also received a consolation.. hahah Also, we'd smashed up with exciting prizes, giveaways and special raffles! everyone got one, and others who were lucky that night? ...got more gifts.
