VeriFone Retro Christmas Party

Decades Bar, Metrowalk(Dec. 13, 2007):
From the name of the place, "Decades", oldies na so Retro theme ang party namin this year. What should we expect? Of course dapat pang 70's at 80's ang costume, may team presentation, at d mawawala ang Pinkpolo'd and Foxy Lady of the Night, as well as the Major Annual Awards, raffles na wish ko lang na yung mapili kong color costs higher than 1k at retro din kaya yung food?(joke!)

Place:
Mas maliit xa sa in-expect ko na laki ng place. Akala ko di makakapagperform ng maayos ang mga magpepresent but um-ok nmn kahit papano.

Costume:
Naku! Ang gaganda at gugwapo ng mga opismates ko that time. Nakakatuwa kc may mga punkista, may mga 70's na 70's ang hitsura, may mga nakawig, nakagogo boots, retro kng retro pero may mga indi rin nakisama sa costume.
Team Presentation(5min):
Only four teams joined the presentation:
  • STE-VPD - Dance Remix
  • STE-SQA - 70's - 80's Medley Dance(Dreamgirls,Footloose at Lady Marmalade) nakakatuwa kc ibang guys nagsuot ng 2 piece at leggings. Saludo ako sainyo grabe!
  • OS Team - Di ko alam yung song pero nakakatuwa sila kc sabay sabay at mga guys lahat may patilya na mahaba. hehehe!
  • STE - DEV: Yohooo! We won the team presentation and have an encore afterwards...
A week before the Christmas Party wala pa rin nagvovolunteer sa team nmen kng cnu-cno magpepresent so in the end, lahat kailangan magpresent. We chose 70's Medley Dance:
I WILL SURVIVE - syempre si Mama Rubz ang best emotera smen so she acts as Dianna Ross while Me, Jho and Jheng were her back-ups. Sobrang maalog sayaw nmen at kahit matigas katawan ko sumayaw hala go! pa rin. hahaha! Same din kmi lahat ng damit except sa footwear at hairdo.

DO THE HUSTLE - c Janna nagpoi while Ercel, Julius, Miao and Arch were the dancers.

U SHOULD BE DANCIN'(yeah!) - ang pinakamalakas sa audience impact hehehe! kc nmn ang supervisor napasayaw kasama 2 sa bagong DEV(Booz and Ryan) team with pamatay na moves na mala-John Travolta.

AWITIN MO ISASAYAW KO - a swing performed by Frangy-Jheng and Booz-Me. Some didn't know it but I really love ballroom dancing since I was a kid. Hehehe! I used to dance with my Lola, ate, mga tita ng boogie, chacha, swing, tango at rumba nung nasa Bikol pa ako. Hayz, missing the old days. Kaya lang I need effort as in effort para maging graceful kc nmn I am taba and mahihirapan yung partner ko iwrap ako if mas malapad ako kesa sa kanya. Hehehe! Nice job Booz! :)) This dance was ended by a cartwheel from Arch and Miao.

ROCK BABY ROCK - the finale dance at lahat ng DEV nagperform at kung san kitang kita ang galing ni Frangy sa pagsayaw,walang ka-effort effort but he's really graceful. Finale act, the 4 party poppers! Hehehe! Ang saya-saya!

Stars of the Night:
Fang(17th Floor) - is the Pinkpolo'd while
Kalai(STE_SQA) - is the emcee and the Foxy Lady of the Night

Raffles:
Josko! Yung color ng glowing bracelet na nakuha ang may pinakamababang cost. As usual 1k ulet. Di na ako tumaas sa 1k at sa ibang raffles wala rin BOKYA ulet! Kelan kaya ako suswertehin sa mga raffles raffles na yan.

VeriFone Annual Awards(Congratulations!!!):
  • Above and Beyond the Call of Duty - Kalai(STE-SQA) has provided services beyond teh scope of her job.
  • Best in Innovation - Jopen(STE-DSS) and Anne(STE-SQA). They were the ones who demonstrated creativity in doing their works or by helping their teammates and customers.
  • Best in Team Spirit - I forgot his name. He's from 17th floor who has not only boosted the morale of his team but also that of other teams.

After the program, we have invaded the dance floor. Sayaw dito sayaw doon, walang paki sa mga nakakakita basta kmi sasayaw. Hahaha! Pero ciempre nakakapagod din kaya at 1:30am i think, umuwi na kmi. At naiwan ang matatatag sa inuman at sayawan. Hehehe! Ako, Frangy, Wali and Jho, bumalik pa sa opis. Di na nakuntento sa sangkatutak na picturan. Pagdating sa opis, changed costume at picture picture ulet. Hahaha! I really enjoyed the party.
