Jologs Christmas Party 2005

Nakaraos na din sa wakas ang aming the party of the year (the only party). Those in attendance were Chona & Ronald, Ziella & Edward, Gabs, Jonal, Joey, Mark, Saree & Hydee and myself. The food is great every year naman okay mga dalang food sa potluck, this year best seller ang sinigang ni Gabs & Hungrypac moist chocolate cake na bili ni Joey. I realized that all my friends are really nice & polite - ako lang ata ang mean. We all agreed that we'll do "agawan gift" instead of numbering them then getting the gift that corresponds to the number you got (traditional exchange gift). As the name suggest pwede mong agawin ang gift na nakuha na ng iba but all my friends (headed by Ma'am Jean aka Chona) dread the pain of rejection hehehe pangit daw feeling ng di magustuhan gift mo. But in the end it appeared that all gifts were really nice and those who picked a particular gift had no plans of exchanging them na cos they liked it already.

Eto ang picture na gagawing album cover ng tatlong itlog este ng bandang itatayo ni Jonal, Edward at Joey. Sa bandang to Jonal will play the marakas, Edward on tambourine & Joey on triangle, yes puro percussions yun lang kaya nila hehehe.

Although Chona & Ronald got lost finding my place they arrived in one piece, nahassle nga lang cos it rained really hard last Saturday. And due to my powerful direction instruction skills - ayun they got lost sorry kaya mga friends!

Si Saree muntik nang maagawan ng cellphone nung #%&* na bata sa jeep, buti na lang Fafa Mark saved the day. Hmpft takot lang nya kay Mark noh! Dadaganan sya nun. And in fairness ang sister kong si Saree blooming, broken hearted pa yan ha pero ang ganda ganda nya (Sar, I'll collect the payment later).

Sa picture above, hulaan nyo kung sino ang mag-ex? Is it A, B or C? Hehehe.

The party was a success I should say, it's really great spending bond time with good friends - those whom you spend half of your life, those who knows you inside and out, those who comforts you when your heart is bleeding, people you can depend on to (emotional support, physical support kahit pa financial support).

HIGHLIGHTS of the event:

1. Dahil wala kameng cable - lahat sila gusto akong patayin dahil walang channel 2 TV ko wala akong matinong antenna. Alas nueve ng gabi ay gusto na nilang mag walk out sa bahay hehehe, o di kaya ay mang gising ng cable company para magpakabit or di kaya mambulabog sa hardware to buy Baron super antenna daw. Sa madaling sabi - di sila nakanood ng PBB finals (buti na lang may by the minute update sila from Chona's Mom - ultimo Studio 23 at DZMM pinagtyagaan nila hoping to get PBB updates).

2. Story telling time featuring Ms. Saree Manriquez. Lahat ng dumating tatanungin what happened to Saree & #%$. Sinabihan ko na si Saree to wait for all of our friends to arrive para isang pasada na lang ng kwento - tigas ng ulo ayun halos mapaos ata ng kakaulit ng kwento nya.

3. Ang Sinigang ni Gabs - as usual late si Gabs. Nakakain na kame at lahat kulang pa ang ulam namin at wala pa kameng dessert. But when Gabs arrived sinigang dala nya so maraming kumain uli yummy kase nung dala nya.

4. Gift giving - syempre pa it's nice to know that lahat ay nag abalang mag shop para ibigay sa bawat isa. Thanks mga sis & bro for the gifts! I love everything that I received!

5. Exorcism of Emily Rose on DVD na si Chona at Hydee lang ang nagtyangang tumapos (Mark, Gabs, Joey, Edward & I have seen it already) in the end nung tulugan na Chona requested not to turn the the kitchen bulb off - natakot ang lola nyo.

Too bad the others didn't make it this year like Vines & Ian, Daei, Doland, Joel & Richard. Di bale we'll see you guys soon and definitely on next year's party.
