Party over here, party over there

Yesterday night marked the beginning of yet another series of Christmas parties.

Our division in the office welcomed the first week of December with our White Christmas Party at Dasma, Makati.

Although I'm not a fan of white clothes - because I am admittedly dugyot and clumsy wearing white - I had to get into the spirit.

I was just praying the whole night that I don't spill red wine on it.

I actually did, but it was when the party was almost over and I was still sober enough to rush to the bathroom to take the stain off.

I was part of the alcohol committee who pooled all the wine, vodka, rum and beer together. As such, I also got first dibs of the finest - Reserve, Asti, Sparkling wine and Mondavi!

Pao and I hoarded the Mondavi that another officemate brought.

The party was a blast! I had so much fun and I'm loving, loving the new guys.

Best girlfriend trip... ever!

My trip to Hong Kong was shelved - a week before I was supposed to get tickets for it.

I wanted to go back to HK in time for the hairy crab season. I wanted first dibs of hairy crab at Wu Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui.

Some things, however, were inevitable.

I still don't want to talk about it.

Moving on...

You know, when I want something, I really will move mountains to get it. And I wanted a trip for the long weekend. So the girlfriends helped in looking for a beach resort we have not visited yet. I came across Punta de Uian.

It was probably Divine Providence - or the Universe just wanted to humor me - but Punta de Uian was the second link on the page when I googled resorts in Zambales.

The girlfriends didn't waste time and immediately booked for a 3 days 2 nights beach break.

FUN --- is an understatement.

The girlfriends are definitely going to do this again.

And this time - we even have a special project on what we want to do next.

I can't wait!

Postcript for StoicSuchi: It's not that I didn't want the man that I had. I did. You're the best person to say that I definitely did. The thing is, he didn't know that I meant it when I said it was really him.
