Our project's resort
We had our “one of the last” team buildings this weekend in Kaiser. Last Friday, directly from work, we went to a resort in Laguna. This was the second time for me to go there. It is actually owned by the relatives of one of our team mates, Jericho. The resort has a swimming pool, karaoke / dining area, 2 big bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. We didn’t get all there at one time, others had to follow after 12mn because they’re night shift. Anyways, the party started to pick up around 10pm. We had like 4 cases of beers, and then 2 cases more followed. Girls had fun with the Franzia wine. Almost everybody was drinking, singing karaoke, dancing, others were just hanging out, laughing and swimming in the pool. Speaking of pool, I had a quite experience. I was standing by the pool, and suddenly, our team lead, Cel, pushed or hugged me and we jumped into the pool. I was surprised. Good thing I was already wearing my swimsuit under my t-shirt and summer pants. I got to put them on while I was still not high with the wine. Cel wasn’t contented. She pulled Cookie as well and they both jumped into the pool. Too bad though that Cookie didn't bring extra clothes and she was still in her rubber shoes and her cellphone was inside her pocket. It was really a “riot”! But you know what Cookie, you said you wanted to buy a new one right, only you didn't have a reason. Now, you have one! Happy shopping!
I was surprised at myself that I didn’t get to sleep that night. I was just hanging out
with my team mates, trying to get to know them better, singing karaoke, taking pictures, laughing, smoking. And to sober down, I got contented sitting on the bench, playing cards, with my beer on my side. (The wine ran out very early in the evening. If I could’ve known sooner, I should have bought 2 boxes of Franzia. It was really funny because the first time we had our team building there, the girls weren’t that interested with the wine. So, I think, I finished like 90% of it!) And then suddenly, I saw the sun coming out from the skies. Some of the people were already coming out from the rooms, looking for breakfast. And so, it was another day of fun again.I wasn't able to see most of the people leave that day because I was sleeping. Haha! Finally, I got tired and hit the bed. KC, Jericho, Jeff, Juan, Jobu and I stayed for another night in the resort. But I felt so tired that I slept all afternoon. By the time I woke up, it was almost dinner. The guys was very kind enough to prepare the food for us. They grilled liempo and tilapia. Jericho also cooked sinigang and adobong sitaw. Everything was a hit! Specially the sinigang na baboy. Yummy! After dinner, we just continued singing, playing cards, the others went swimming again. It was really a relaxing weekend.
Sunday, it was my chance to contribute something. I cooked fried and plain rice, washed some dishes, etc for our brunch while the boys went out to buy roasted chicken (it's like Andok's), soda, etc. After lunch, I finally was able to have a good swim, even just for an hour. At first, I got easily tired after 1 lap of whichever stroke, but I think I improved after several laps of trying. After an hour of my so-called exercise, it was time for me to take a shower and pack my stuff. It was time to go home again and work. It was kind of Jericho that he dropped us at our homes.
It will be another ordinary day of work tomorrow, but the weekend that passed had been extraordinary!
