christmas party

Last night was Recruitment's Christmas Party in LD, we had a blast last night, I just hoped that everyone was there with us, everyone present was laughing and just enjoying the time. We had guests from different departments and former colleagues as well.

Prior to last night, a wishlist was passed on for our exchange gifts, I wished for a nice printed shirt and coincidentally the the person I picked wished for a shirt as well, only to find out in the party that we will just be exchanging gifts with each other, hahahaha! I loved the shirt that I received that night, thanks to my Daddy!

Food was overflowing, and food was okay and there were really good food too! I just wished that the team was complete in this party to celebrate the year that was 2009 and be optimistic with 2010!

Anyhoo, it was nice having that chance to spend a christmas party with officemates.

An early christmas treat

Two nights ago, I was able to go home early and finally had the time to go online and catch up with friends in facebook and yahoo messenger. I was harvesting my crops in Farmville when a good friend started chatting with me in YM.

The good friend is now in Singapore, he left just this November for work. He's actually with the friend I met up with when I visited the country last September, we've been friends for more than 6 years now, together with a couple more guys.

The good friend was obviously smitten by the beauty of Singapore the same way as I was when I was there. He only have good words to describe the city. Well at least for now. Hehehe! But I doubt if that would change, I only have good words for Singapore myself. I was really envious that they are having a great time and I wanted so bad to be there. They kept saying that I better book my tickets to be with them. I want to, but I don't think I have the means.

They said that there's going to be a new year party at my friends place since they can't really use fireworks on new year's eve. A party that is to be attended by his filipino friends, by this time, I was already dead envious. I could just imagine how much fun it would be if we were all there. Nothing beats the company of really good friends.

My connection was acting up so I had to disconnect, and I had a hard time connecting back again. I just resorted to watching TV and shutting down my laptop.

As I prepare myself to sleep, I received a phone call from an overseas number. I found out that it was my two good friends from Singapore calling asking for my full name and my address and my birthdate. Next thing I heard was that they were booking my flight to Singapore to spend my new year there, and they are shoulering my tickets. I was dumbfounded to say the least, I don't know what to say, I keep thinking if I could file for a Vacation Leave. They said my flight would be December 31 to Singapore and January 6 going back. I will be spending 7 days in SG.

The next day, I saaw myself talking to my boss asking permission to have a vacation early January to give way to my friends. I had to let go of my desire to buy a new phone to give way to this trip. No regrets though because I really like Singapore plus the fact that I will be spending the new year with two of my closest friends.

So as I bid the 2009 goodbye, I will welcome 2010 with good friends in the city of the merlions. Cheers to that!

friends do make you laugh

I've been more active in facebook the past few weeks and I've induldge myself in answering "Social Interview" questions for me and about my friends in the online community.

There was this particular question that I was really glad to answer because I really want to know the answer. Social Interview asked me "If you can spend time with GOD, what would you ask HIM?" I answered, "Where do I go from here?" I really want to know what else is in store for me, for my future. I have been wanting to know the answer for quite awhile now, I've been asking myself if this is all there is to it?

I hit the publish to my wall button and there it is on my wall. After finishing 30 questions, skipping most of it, I viewed my profile only to find out that a good friend already left a comment on this particular post.

He said "Bakit hindi mo gamitin yung compass mo?" (why don't you use your compass?) he was definitely referring to my tattoo!

toink!

toink!

All the seriousness and placidity I felt in answering that particular question got all flashed down the drain...
