Nakahabol pa sa Summer =)

At last! napost ko na rin itong mga pics from our company summer outing last weekend. yey! I'm also writing in taglish, for a change. hehe...

Here are the photos from our 3 days and 2 nights stay at White Rock Beach Resort in Subic. :) Huling hirit sa tag-init!

The Bus
I was in-charge of checking the attendance in the bus going to Subic. Buti naman wala masyadong pasaway na na-late. hehe... Dahil kulang sa tulog from the previous nights, I slept half of the time on our way to Subic and 3/4 of the time naman pabalik ng Makati. (deprived!)



Stopovers
Lunch time pa expected time of arrival namin sa White Rock so to kill time medyo namasyal muna kami around Subic. First stopover is the Bat Kingdom. Unfortunately, wala kaming nakita kahit anino ng isang paniki. Malamang tulog pa sila. hehehe... So picture-picture na lang kami.

Hindi ko alam yung tawag dun sa place ng next stopover namin. But it reminds me of Luneta's boardwalk. I think yun yung port papuntang Grande Island. Anyway, some of us hindi na bumaba sa bus kase sobrang init. Yung iba, ayun nagpapicture ulit.



The Room
All of us occuppied the rooms on the 4th floor. Walang elevator kaya exercise kami. Okay naman yung rooms. Though mas maganda yung accommodation namin last year sa Coco Beach. Roommates ko sina Tabel and Anne. Kaya lang nung last night namin dun ayaw na nila matulog sa room namin. (Bakit kaya?) Kaya ayun, nakitulog kami sa room nila Axel, Ritche and Ferdie. hehe...



Views
Maganda rin naman pala sa White Rock. Either that or magagaling lang talagang photographers mga officemates namin. hehe... Take a look at these.


Teambuilding and Sportsfest
For the teambuilding, we (Yellow team) won 2nd place sa "Balloon Volleyball" and first place naman sa "Hear Me Out". As in way ahead of the other teams! Thanks to our leader, Jhung. Kaya lang, no bearing naman sa team standing. hehe...

For the continuation ng Sportsfests, we placed 3rd sa "Kayak race", first place sa "Catch the dragon's tail" and first place rin sa "Aim with me". yey!

Eating Time
Food was ok. Though parang mas masarap pa rin ang food sa Coco Beach. hehe...lagi bang i-compare? :D Dinner nung first night at saka yung mga breakfast ang the best!

The pool
Kinareer namin ang night swimming. Parang may soothing effect yung water, sarap! First time ko rin maglaro ng basketball sa pool. Ang saya pala lalo na nung ako yung unang naka-shoot! hehe... kaya lang bigla akong nagka-cramps in the middle of the game, kaya yun stop na ko. Best players are Tabel, Tina and Karen. :D

Conference

Very Informative. Kahit medyo inaantok kami. Facilitated one of the ice breaker games. Helped to perk us up a bit. Ang kulit ni Jhung, Emman and Andrew. hehe...Ang saya rin nung icebreaker from our managing director. Ang daming naghakot ng give-aways. Isa na si Tabel dun. haha...Happy rin po kase our team was awarded with the best presentation. nice! Worth it ang pag-stay ko ng late the previous night sa office para tapusin yung flash presentation. :D

Awarding rin ng Sportsfest. We're so surprised to hear that our team (Yellow!) ranked 2nd in the overall team standing! Wow! We're in the last slot kase before. hehe...nice! Now we're planning where to spend our cash prize. hmmm...:D

Recreation
Billiards, Pingpong, Videoke, Gym are available on the 2nd floor for free! So there's our tambayan during our free time.

Around the resort
Just taking every photo opportunity in every corner of the resort. :D

Integration & Support team
Syempre kelangan may team picture! :P

Banana Boat and Jetski at its best

Ang bait ni bosing nanlibre ng Banana Boat at Jetski! yey! Another entry in my "List of Firsts". Ang kulit ni Tabel sa banana boat, grabe! Feeling ko malalaglag kami kahit hindi kami sadyang ihulog ni manong. hayyy! Also with us are Jhung, Arlene, Anne. Cool experience talaga!

Si Ferdie naman ang ka-jetski ko. First time din pala nya mag drive nun. Buti na lang hindi kami tumalsik. haha! Pinag-drive rin nya ko. Ang saya! Kaya lang hindi namin napansin ang tagal na pala namin nag-iikot. Inabutan ng time. waah! bitin.

Sabado night
Huling hirit na so we took advantage of it. There's a live band to entertain us and "open-bar" for the "drinkers". Sayang hindi ako makikinabang dun. hehe...

Performers of the night:

Axel - gave the opening number, who sang "Bakit ngayon ka lang" with the band's female vocalist. yihee...

Anne - sang her favorite, "I'd still say yes"

Karen - the pretty diva. sang "Through the fire" and "My immortal"

Tina - videoke queen ang batang ito. hehe.. Sang "Bring me to life" and had a duet with Ron singing "Bakit ngayon ka lang"

Mhell and Ed - serenaded us with "Before I let you go" with Axel on lead guitar. naks!

Me - akala ko makakalusot, hindi pala.. hehe... Umiwas sa "Through the fire" kase baka hindi kayanin ng powers ko. Yun pala "Open Arms" ang ipapakanta sa kin. waahh! Thanks pala kay Ferdie for holding the lyrics for me. Hindi ko memorize e (yeah right!)

Dancing all through the night after the jamming session! Marami palang talented (or frustrated) dancers sa OCS. hehe... Somebody handed me a tambourine while everyone's busy groovin'. Naaliw sila sa kin mag tambourine. nyehehe... Hindi ko rin akalain na marunong pala ko. hehe...Thanks for the compliment guys and gals!



Stolen Shots

Hindi pa rin nakalusot sa dumaraming paparazzis. tsk, tsk...

Zoobic Safari
Just before heading off to Makati, we had a tour at Zoobic Safari. The best zoo I've been so far. May tour guide pa kami named Joanna. Very informative ang field trip na ito. hehe... Super cute ng mga tiger cubs! kaya lang hindi pwede hawakan of course kung gusto naming umuwi ng kumpleto ang mga daliri. Hanggang pictures lang kami. We also met Boie -the goat, Nicolas - the moonbear and Tintin - the baboon :P

Some of my officemates volunteered to carry a huge python. Nyaiks! hindi ko yata kaya yon. We met the huge tigers na iba-iba ang character. Pati mga ostrich na elegant pero medyo warfreak. The best part is when we entered the Tiger's zone while riding the enclosed jeepney. May pinahabol pa kaming chicken dun sa Tiger. Naawa kami sa chicken habang nag eenjoy sa pag nguya sina George and Dila (yung mga tigers).

The Committee

Medyo mahirap mag-asikaso ng event na 'to pero worth it naman. Masaya!

Presenting the people behind this event - the Employee Relations Committee! Cheers!

Thanks to Edward, Eric, Ferdie, Gilles, Jason, JR, Jhung, Pielle, Rhom, Ritche, Soc, Thet and Vanie for the wonderful photos. (",)
