Year End Party 2012

OMG! It took me almost a quarter to put up another post for my blog (yikes!) That's how busy I am nowadays specially this quarter of the year. I still have a pending post about my El Nido trip with Eskapaderas but I think that will be posted by next year. (bwahahaha... tamad lang talaga)

Let me start of with our company’s last activity, The Year End Party 2012 in the theme of Modern Victorian Soiree. When I first heard about it, the only thing that I said was “do what now?” Instantly what I worried about was the dress that I needed to wear for the event. (Gosh, san naman ako kukuha nun?)

It is also the company’s culture to come up with presentations per group and to my surprise we got The Phantom of the Opera. I was like “what the hell am I going to do with that”. Honestly, I don’t have any idea about the said play. They asked me to come up with the choreography for the masquerade scene of the play. Apparently, aside from the choreography, I got the lead role – Christine Daae. (Imagine the pressure of teaching my colleagues and worrying about my role. Ay naman!) But as what I always say, I’m not a quitter. I challenged myself even more and putting a lot of pressure on myself too so I could deliver.

The said event was held in Dusit Thani Manila, one of the our clients in the company. Our Department (Quality Assurance) decided to reserve a room so we have a place to fix ourselves before the event and a place to rest after the tiring party. 

So now let me share some photos of the said event.

                There were 3 presentations that night - Supreme Ground Breakers, Up Beat and Support Team. 

Supreme Ground Breakers - "ADONIS"

Support Team - "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA"

Up Beat - "MOULIN ROUGE"

We also love taking pics… So more picture more fun. LOL

Now I’m wondering what kind of theme are we going to have by next year… (sana mas relax lang… :P)

Missing my First Love

They say that first love never dies. I guess this also applies to me. Well, don’t think of something else. This has nothing to do with the matters of the heart ('coz that won’t be applicable. Hehehe…) I’m actually talking about dancing.

I may be indulging myself with trekking/ mountaineering and fun runs nowadays but I still want to go back to dancing. Performing on stage through dancing makes me feel that I own the world.

From school performances to barangay dance competitions to parties to company performances to inter-company dance contest - I joined all of them and tried different genres.

Just wanna share with you some videos of my previous dance performances with my beloved friends.

Ventus All Starz was a dance group formed by different representatives per site of ePLDT Ventus (known as SPI Global now). They were also my first dance group in the company

Aside from the Ventus All Starz that time, I also joined the Jupiter Dance group to compete with other Ventus sites. The group did not consist of dancers. We have representatives from Supervisors, QA and agents. Luckily got the 3rd prize. ^^

My last dance competition in ePLDT Ventus (January 2010)

Hayst... Just so many tiring and fun memories. Hope one day I'll be able to share the same stage again with them... ^^

Ciao!

Kanin Club

Good Food + Good Friends = Happy ME! ^^

My friends and I met yesterday to catch up. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. First, we decided to stay in a coffee shop in Greenbelt and had our chika aux and tawanan moment. Then we moved to Kanin Club. I got so excited since that was my first time to dine there. Well, I set aside my diet and thought it will be a very good way to cheat again (Yes, it was again my cheat day! Hihihi…) Sayang... I don't have Steve (my cam) again with me. Good thing I have Bry (my phone) to do the job for me.

I love the place. It is designed with Filipino interior, a collection of Philippine paintings and art surround Kanin Club to make it homey. It’s the perfect restaurant to dive in when you’re on a cheat day or if you just want to pig out with your family and friends. (Just be mindful of what you eat, too much is always not good ^^)

We ordered the following:

Sinangag na Sinigang

Sinangag na Sinigang
Sinigang-inspired fried rice complete with pork liempo and vegetable tempura. It's dry sinigang! Serves 2

Crispy Dinuguan

Crispy Dinuguan

Their most copied signature dish! Pork heavenly deep-fried to a crisp then set in a semi-dry stew of pork blood. Proven to have convinced non-dinuguan eaters to like the dish

I highly recommend this restaurant. The interior is really nifty and you’ll feel the Filipinoism of the place – from its ambiance and choice of music, really a Kusinang Pinoy!

If you wish to visit this place:

More Than a Decade of Friendship

Minsan talaga mas natutuloy pa ang mga lakarang biglaan kesa sa mga matagal ng nakaplano. Dahil nga biglaan itong kitaang ito, di rin sinasadya na sobrang bihis na bihis ako - naka-dress at suot ang paborito kong 4-inch shoesy (bilang may client kasi sa office. at talagang nagpaliwanag ako...hehehe). 

Sayang at di kumpleto ang 'KADA pero ganun pa man masaya pa rin ang kwentuhan. Ang saya-saya ko talaga pag sila ang kasama.

thanks Regz for the pic

I used to be a listener before but this time I'm the one talking. Nakakapanibago ng pakiramdam pero ang saya  rin kasi alam kong di ako nag-iisa. I have THEM.

I really miss my girls... Hope to see them as often as I could. I'm just so lucky and blessed to have them in my life. Sana next time complete na kami...
