Well. (Favorite Word of the Week)
Well.
A lot can happen in a week.
I'm just glad it's all over. For the better.

I was helping Neeks make motions for the Mini-Mock (I still think calling it an Intravarsity is cooler, but whatever) and I decided to put my almost-expertise in world business and finance to good use. I was aiming for a set of motions that wouldn't offer any obvious, safe choice but would force people to think long and hard about their vetoes and their strategy in the debate. I always associate those kinds of motions with Australs, my favorite tournament.
Not sure if it worked out that way for the debaters, but I like the motions I came up with.
Theme: Windang
1. This house would sanction nations that harbor and obstruct the recovery of ill-gotten wealth.
2. This house would impose a global tax on Big Pharma to fund research on Third World diseases.
3. This house believes that the First World should fund the creation of a body to facilitate the remittances of migrant workers back home.

So I woke up at 5:30 am on Friday to shoot our MTV Christmas Party video (yes, my office is that perky, thank you HR) and we spent two hours basking in the morning sunlight on the rooftops of Makati dancing to the music of "She Works Hard for the Money" by Donna Summers. In full costume - there were people dressed as hookers, French maids, pimps, Chippendale dancers, nuns, aerobics instructors, plumbers, etc. I was dressed as an elementary student (think Tolits). I got off easy.
My other shots in the video involve being spanked by the French maid and getting injected in the ass by a doctor (played by my mom's college classmate) while my pants were down. If you're thinking that sounds pervy, wait til you see the video.
And I'm hosting the Christmas Party too. Oh Lord.
