And so because I have a friend who is the "besttest" in almost everything, we were able to have a vacation leave on the 31st of December. Today is my last shift for 2011. Early that day, I received a text message from my friends that they wanted to have dinner.
And so we did...
Mrs. Aimae and her wand...
We are here at Aveneto Pizzeria Ristorante. The branch at the SM Hypermart offers no frills dining. Except for a mural portraying popular Hollywood actors as construction men on a lunch break, the place hardly had any other decoration. The chairs, though plastic, were comfortable.
We don't have much time to think about what we are going to order because Mavic has a shift then and she has 30 minutes to go back to the office. So we have to hurry.
We ordered their platter which included fries and their version of potato balls (together with chicken and crab sticks).
And of course, Pizza. The Pizza here is good. But nothing really special. There are a lot of pizza better than what they have, like our home made pizza, lol!
2011 has been a very busy year for all of us... Maraming hindi natupad... Maraming awra ang lumipas. Bawat isa sa amin nagkaroon ng kanya-kanyang awra. Ako, naiba ang off ko sa kanila. Bihira rin ako mkapagtawag ng inuman because I've been busy with other friends, ganun din sila. Si Lupe, busy sa love life, si ate Iane, nag kawork na sya at si ate domz. The rest, may kanya kanyang awra..
Pero ito ang di namin mapapalagpas. Christmas party on Christmas day. I had to arrange and work on my schedule. Just to be there on this special event.
Pag kagaling ko sa office, sinundo ko si Rizi, token and kicks for the last hour xmas shopping. Malas nakuha pa yung lisensya ko. Counterflow daw.
We were all supposed to meet up early to decorate the place. Since pare-pareho kaming galing sa trabaho, wala kaming mga tulog.
Natulog din ako. Lahat nga hindi alam kung tuloy ba ang party... So natulog lang din ako..
Siguro 10 PM dumating si Token at Nino sa bahay. Ayun, bumangon na ako at pinagbomba ko na sila ng balloons. Then naligo na ako and helped them to set up.
Then 1 am, umalis si tokne para sunduin na si ate Rizi.
Bumili narin sila ng beer and disposable stuff...
Marami ako nabiling baloons... d n namin alam kung san ilalagay...
Andito na sila ate rizi, dala ang leche flan...
Isa isa na silang dumadating. Si Kicks, Charmaine, Charity at ate Domz... With our gifts...
the gifts
the food
Turbo chicken ni Kiko. Cake ni Charmaine. Sea foods ni ate domz, Malabon ni Czamie, Leche flan ni Rizi at Tacos ni Eltee. And Liempo from me.
I've been with this company for almost three years...
This is the first time that I was a part of the organizing team. I was not that friendly kasi.. My first year in this company, I was just in a circle of friends. I am not that friendly then. I attended xmas party just because my friends are attending...
But this year its different. I became a part of a team. I became friendly. People come and go. Most of my friends left the company and I never thought that I will have as much friends as I have right now.
Originally, kaming lima lang ang dapat mag christmas party. Kami nga lang lima ang nag exchange gift. But when our team mates knew about our plan, we have decided to make it a team christmas party. But they wanted it to be all agents only. No boss allowed.
So we organized the party. For us, the call time is 8 am for the preparation. The party will start at 4 pm eh.
Yeah, I received a text from Mrs. Aimae "Oh my God, you're late! As expected!" LOL!!!
I got there at around, 10 am. Had to wake up my brother and nag halfday sya to drive me hangang floodway because coding pala si Basty.
Nagtricycle ako hanggang lifeholmes kasi walang taxi dun. Then nag wait ako ng taxi for 10 minutes to get to Joey's crib... ahaha! My excuse ba sa late?
We have decided to make it a more like of a children's party. So, meron kaming Palayok and pabitin.
Lahat yun binili sa Diviso-riah. Kasama na yung mga prizes and give aways. Wala pa si Khasey dito. Since galing sya sa shift, binigyan nmin sya ng time to sleep.
We were supposed to put condoms and lubricants. We went to a convenient store inside the village and we were like:
Mrs. Aimae: "madam, ilang condoms?"
Me: "ilan ba ang gagamit?"
Mrs. Aimae: "10?"
Me: "10 ang magse-sex?"
Mrs. Aimae: "hindi, 10 rounds!". ahaha! Normal yung paguusap namin nun, kahit na may mga tao... Eh wala silang condoms at lubricant, sabi ko, " eh hayaan mo na, wala nalang magse-sex tonight".
After pleparing the garage and the things that we're going to use sa games, we went to the kitchen and do some cooking.
That was me cleaning the (double-dead) meat. Lol! Mikee was on the other sink, naglilinis ng isaw. Si Joey, nasa back yard, nag-iihaw ng 3 kilos of baby back ribs.
I wonder where Mrs. Aimae is..
We cooked chicken and pork adobo. Yung isaw at chicken feet naman, inadobo rin. So we were like "its Adobo party!".
We collected 100 pesos each. Nagdala rin kami ng sarili naming food to share.
Mrs. Aimae gave spaghetti, mine is puto cake, Joey and Anne is baby back ribs and Khasey for letchon manok. Nagdala pa si Dra ng mga puto. Mavic for the hotdog, Mami cha for the pizza.
Worried kami noon, kasi bka walang pumunta. Naligo muna kami ni Mrs. Aimae sa condo nya sa One Oasis.
