Birthday Eve

November 26 - Saturday. It's the eve of my birthday, and there's so many things happening.

First event is the Battle Of The Bands. Our company will be participating in the nationwide competition for the best bands among Call Centers. We had an elimination round - to know which band will represent ICT. This was held at BG's Grill in Pasay Road.

Since our department has always been in the frontline, this event was organized by Training and HR. Our Daddy Mark was one of the judges of the said contest.

Grabe, our Training Director is also a Master Show Man (he can now replace Kuya Germs). I wonder where he gets all the energy? Gosh, you should have seen him dance!!!

This is Acie and Rowny with Mark & a cute guy... Cheer to a job well done!

And of course, who was not surprised by our very own Jon San Pedro? We never knew that he can sing well! Isa siyang "kantatero"! And his efforts weren't in vain. Their band won! Go "Juan"!

Now, this day is the eve of my birthday. It was really embarassing that it was announced! I was even asked to dance! Well, I have my VTECH "babies" to escort me...

And I don't know if someone just want to flatter me coz it's my birthday but a lady server at BG's gave me a note saying "You're So Charming!". She told me it was given by someone. Now, this is the first time I got a compliment and I didn't know what to do! I should have asked who gave that note but since we were almost about to leave the place, I didn't inquire who was that person. Sob! It could have been a potential "new friend". :(

Second Event: Mark's Birthday Bash. He told the Training Team that after the Battle of the Bands, he would treat us out for Dinner. He first ordered some food at BG's and we got to see a band perform. And it seems like "Daddy" had some drinks that he started dancing in his seat... His "daughters" Lois and Me plus "son" Ralf were in a state of shock...

After BG's, we went to Eastwood Libis. We rode Ms. Jamea's CRV going to Mark's condo since they have to change cars. Mark also got some board games. We celebrated Mark's birthday at Something Fishy. The Guests? Jamea, Dwain, Ethan and cousin Luigi, Mathet, Acie, Rowny, Lois, Ralf, Jon and gf Mai, Norvin, Jhellie and me. Here's some pics taken on the said place.

Alright. Third Event: My birthday. After Libis, the group went to our house for a simple celebration. It was around 3:00am. Too bad Acie and Rowny had to go since they were very tired organizing the Battle Of the Bands. They promised to come the following day for the continuation of my birthday celebration.

Everytime I would have my birthday, I usually have a theme. For this year, it's "Having Fun at Thirty One".

When the group arrived at my home, I ushered them to our terrace and let them rest first. Soon, Daddy Mark introduced us to a cool board game called Apples to Apples. It's a good game that will enhance your convincing powers especially for sales. We had a great game! Then, I just served Ref cakes, chips, coffee and Coke "Sakto".

Before the group parted ways, we had some picture taking ceremony (as always!).

I had my birthday kisses (ehem... okay, pagbigyan nyo na ko. It's my birthday!) and soon had to say goodbye to my guests. I'm happy and thankful that I have people who shared their time to celebrate with me... Made me feel special and loved...

Need to rest... Another batch of people will be with me tomorrow... or should I say, in a few hours...
