Just to make up for the lost time and to make you read my old posts again, I do have an update regarding the lost PJs — I got it back.

Having said that, if you do have any other public announcements that you need to make, blog posting is the way to do it. Have it posted in as many blogs possible because apparently, that’s how people do it these days. They would sometimes delay communication by having the comunicatee read the communicator’s blog. Here’s a true story to illustrate this phenomenon (names were changed for fun):

Mightier Than Sword

I miss writing. I know that is a very gay thing to say but yes, I actually do miss writing. It’s been weeks since I’ve last written and I fear that if I don’t write everyday I’m not gonna get my Palancas anymore. Yes, baby gurl, that’s in plural form. But that’s not really my topic now, is it? Nope it sure isn’t. What I’d really want to tell you is why I haven’t been writing. I don’t care if you don’t care why, but reading this post was already written in your little chapter on the “Book of Life” long before you were born (Long live determinism!). Hopefully the post title and picture here have already provided enough intrigue for you to read on.

Water Cooler Story

One of the most important office equipment is the water cooler. Especially in our office where the AC is like a woman experiencing PMS, throwing tantrums that turn our office into the arctic one day and then desert island the next. But most of the time it’s desert island (which I hate because I can’t make porma with my jacket ). So anyways, we have a water cooler (that also has a heater btw, but I don’t use that function often enough so I’ll just call it water cooler). We actually have four, two of which are in our area, located in rooms A and B as illustrated by the blue dots below.

Figure 1. Yes, I have free time to make crude illustrations. What’s a man to do, I was just waiting for my ride to come.

Exposed to the Elements

Due to popular demand (around… lemme see… one person), I shall be blogging about our awesome Christmas party. But first I will play DotA. *play*play*play*

Mmkay… where was I… oh yes… our awesome Christmas party. So the theme for this year was Encantadia (which, btw, is so 2006). Unlike our Cebu office’s Christmas theme which was “Going Global, Greening Local” (Yes, seriously), ours was, well… Encantadia. Or was it “Magical Enchanted Christmas Extravaganza”? Basta, there’s Encantadia and there’s also Christmas in it. It was the same with Cebu because we also had to dress up in costumes. The difference was that they wore animal costumes (I guess coz whenever there’s some “greening local” going on, the animals can’t be too far away). We, on the other hand, wore costumes related to our assigned elements — Water, Air, Fire, Earth, Light, and Darkness. Yeah, they kinda lost me too when they said Darkness, but hey, if Christmas Committee say that those are the elements then elements they shall be. Such power-trippers, these Kriskom members.

The venue this year was at Father Blanco’s Garden at Intramuros. It had a very nice garden setting providing for a great outdoor party. Very. Boring. Description.

Like moths to the fire

Now, I’ll discuss what each group wore for their costumes.
