The Week(NEVER)ends

Thursday:

HP Global Delivery Philippines Center held its quarterly Coffee Talk at the Makati Sports Club last May 24. I got to see my friends who are also working at HP like CL, Marien, Mhyko, Tupe, and others. Also, as a new hire at HP, I am required to join my fellow newbies in a dance presentation/competition where we showcased our hidden talents (or the lack of those).

After the said conference, our team in HP, Logistics and Warehouse Solutions (or Physical Distribution and Advanced Business Applications Programming) had a dinner at Dads/Saisaki/Kamayan in Glorietta. Again, as a new-hire, I experienced being on the hot seat as the "old" ones barged us with questions regarding our personal lives. Haha.

Friday:

One whole day of programming examination in SAP-ABAP.

Saturday:

I went to the office on a Saturday morning to have another practice for the dance the new hires will have to present on the SAP-ADSI Offsite at the Grande Island Resort in Subic, Zambales on the first two days of June. At 3:00pm, I readied myself to yet another weekend happening with my college friends.

Glenn arrived from Canada more than a week ago; to welcome his presence, May and Liz organized a Tagaytay Highlands getaway for the whole Barkadahan. Because of tight budget and busy schedules of most of the 01's, only eight of us showed up. Arpee, Glenn, Marien, and May met at the EEE Building and then went on the road to fetch me at Ortigas and Norman at Ayala (Jim was with Norman but he chose not to join us because of a last minute text message from one of his siblings). Danes and Liz came together to Tagaytay Rotonda where we met them a few minutes past midnight.

We bowled and attempted to swim at the Tagaytay Sports Club, dined and enjoyed (did we?) the live band at Cafe Lupe, had a road trip around the Cavite with Glenn's Land Cruiser's roof open, and then played and chatted and ate and slept all night long at Glenn's pad at Belle View.

Sunday:

As Arpee, Glenn, May, and Marien headed to attend a mass and have an early breakfast, I, Danes, Liz, and Norman indulged into the luxury of staying at Glenn's very comfy place. Preparing for a trip home, we decided to stop over the Hillside Tower where we munched a couple of french fries platters and took several pictures with the picturesque scenery behind us. We passed by Sta. Rosa for a late lunch and then headed straight home at around 4:00pm.

My two cute pamangkins (a niece - Teriz, and a nephew - Wacky) welcomed me home with tight hugs and kisses. They are having a vacation at our house until Teriz's schooling starts in June.

Monday:

Another work week starts... and will never end either.
