We rushed back to Manila around 6:30 (after stopping by Total Station in SLEX to have some Chowking Halo-Hal) as I still have to attend my boss' despidida party in Ortigas. Hay! Traffic talaga on a Friday night is terrible! We arrived at the party around 9 in the evening, the party was in full swing already! I was called in front to say a message for my boss and to render a song. It was quite an emotional night as we said our farewells to a wonderful boss. But, we all had a great time singing and dancing (my boss is a great dancer and I had a wonderful time doing the swing with him even if I didn't know how, lol). Anyways, the party was over by 10:30. We plan to go somewhere else but i'm just too tired na so we just all head home na lang. When I got home, I checked my mails and for some opps. I was able to grab one from the 3P's but unfortunately, since i'm dead tired, I didn't had the energy to do it. So, what happened? Well, my reservation expired! Sayang! Too bad! Oh well, ganun talaga. Better luck for me next time.
Saturday and Sunday were spent with hubby. We went to see our doctors for our follow-up checkups (me for my stone problems and he for his cholesterol issues) the whole of saturday and just had dinner at Carlos' Pizza in nearby Metrowalk. Love the mushroom soup, chicken fingers and pizza we ordered. Sunday we just laze around in the house and catch up on some sleep. We left late in the afternoon to find an address in San Juan (for hubby's upcoming project) and hear mass in Greenhills. After mass, we had dinner at our favorite, Tender Bob's ordering our all-time favorites, mushroom soup (great soup also), potato skins (the best!) and fillet mignon for me and salpicao for hubby. Well, we're trying to cut on our carb intake to help hubby reduce his bad cholesterol as advised by his doctor but it's just too hard to do but we have to follow it. I just don't want to drastically reduce hubby's carb intake as it might be too hard to do and will only result with him craving for more. So, I plan to make gradual reductions na lang instead and allow him to binge on his favorite food from time to time. We capped the night with a cup of coffee at Figaro. I just love having dinner and having coffee with my husband. It's our "bonding" time together. I'm surely looking forward to our next dinner/coffee date.
That's what been going on with me. Hope everybody's doing well. Thanks for all the tags you left for me. I promise to work on them soon.
Have a nice week everyone!

I'm back from a 2-day budget planning session. This is the last leg of the planning session for 2008. We stayed in Antipolo in the same resort/hotel, Cloud 9. This time, all the officers of the company's different departments/division attended the planning/team building to consolidate our respective department budgets. I have a related post were I talked about a similar planning session of my own department held in this similar resort. It was so tiring and exhausting but I enjoyed it just the same. I had the oppurtunity to bond with my colleagues and got to know them more. We had activities that allow us to peek a little into the lives of our colleagues and i'm glad we did it because now we know where each one of us came from and we will have a better understanding of how each member of the team thinks and works.
We had limited time for photo ops because we stayed most of the time in the conference area finishing the budget and it's raining the whole time we're there. But we were able to had some pics taken because we're such picture addicts, lol. Here's a view of the Metropolis from Cloud 9. It's raining so fog is everywhere.

"suman at tsokolate"
We spent the first day brainstorming and evaluating each department's action plans for the goals and objectives set. It was a very tiring experience but at least we have covered all the subjects that need to be discussed and resolved. We finishd around 9:30 in the evening and cap the night off with a round of drinks courtesy of our boss.

at play
Our second day was also devoted to planning but this time we were able to squeeze in some photo ops:

We finished at around 5:30 in the afternoon so we had an early dinner and yes, a karaoke session! This event won't be complete without a karaoke session! We are such karaoke addicts, lol!
karaoke!
Over-all, the event is a huge success. We were able to accomplish our tasks and at the same time had fun and great bonding moments with our colleagues and boss.

Sorry for not blogging this past few days. I'm so busy at work. I'll be in Antipolo for two days starting tomorrow for our company's annual planning session. We hope to accomplish a lot of things as our group are expected to present our action plans for the goals set for the year 2008. I'll be bringing my laptop and if the place we're staying has wifi, i'll be blogging to death. I wish! :)
