Outing 1 and 2
Last Thursday and Friday, we had our departmental team-building outing. We had a lot of activities that Thursday, which we topped off with a late night videoke and beer session. This would also be the time that Julius almost lost his job. HAHAHA. Niel and I were laughing our asses off just watching the others go about drunk. I was feeling sleepy already, though, and decided that there really was no point in pushing myself further.
Friday was so-so, since I had a bad hangover. I decided to swear off drinking too much for a while. Not only because it was a real hassle, but also because I still had to pick up Cat for the OS outing, which would be Saturday and Sunday. Hurray for really long vacations!
I was feeling a bit better by the time we met up. We were supposed to ride a tricycle / taxi to the meeting place but it rained, so I had to bring out my car.
The bus trip was kinda sucky, though. I don't know if it was just my back (it's not perfectly straight - it's not arched, but it's slightly twisted) or the seat, but when I lied down on the seat, there was nothing holding my neck. It was a bit hard to sleep. Good thing Cat was there. We could sleep on each other. Hahaha. But still, it was a bit tough. Add to that the fact that the bus had two flat tires...
Food was pretty nice at the resort. The place wasn't too fancy, but it really didn't have to be. It was simple, nice and cozy. I managed to get to know most of the people there (not really as much, but at least I know their names and a bit about their backgrounds now) so it was neat. Of course, the time I got to spend with Cat (practically two whole days) was wonderful.
We were met with a storm while we were in Potipot Island on Sunday morning. It was like a scene from Survivor. Lol. We were being pelted with solid rain drops and the seawater became colder. We just laughed about it and bared with it for a while. Not like we had a choice! Haha.
Anyway, the return trip was stormy as well. It was pretty dark out, but we were fortunate to be safe for the most part.
Cat and I brought Niel, Chino and Xandra home, then we went out for a quick drink at Starbucks since I was already feeling sleepy and tired (doesn't happen often when I drive, so I knew I was really tired). Cat is Ironman, is a Gundam, and needs coffee to survive. X3 Overall, it was a great vacation. I just need to make sure that I pack more clothes next time. Lol.
