Memoirs 2008 (Part 2)

JULY

SPORTSFEST!!! I signed up for the badminton games during Soluziona's sportsfest! We won the Championships! Yahoo!!! GO HESTIA!!! I got to be named as the Female MVP for Class B... hihihi! Of course, I ought to be proud -- 3 Championships in 3 companies, who else has that record ei??? hahahaha

My brood got bigger once again! I adopted 3 kids at Soluziona's project at Landbank - Kris A., Yos, and John! In one meeting at Landbank, Maia from SID and Sir Ferdie were intently looking at the attendance sheet... wondering and murmuring to themselves. Curiousity biting at them, they had to ask,

"Kris, kinasal ka na?" (Kris, are you married?).
"Hinde, bakit?" (No, why?).
"Iba na kasi apelyedo mo dito eh" (You have a different surname here), referring to Kris Austero's entry, a new kid at Soluziona hahahaha!

Our contract with Globe, which was initially for 6 months, got renewed. We had to say good bye to Renee as Globe's budget was only enough for 3 team members :( She may have left the project, but she remains a friend :)

AUGUST

The much awaited month! CHINA!!!

Before our China trip, Jaja, May and I were invited by Sir Ferdie to join them on their Mt. Manabu climb. Climbing mountains ain't fun till you reach the peak. Exhausting? Yes, indeed! I got blisters a big as a 10-peso coin on each sole :( On the bright side, it was another opportunity to create new friends :)

China! This trip was booked just 3 months before the actual trip. In my haste to book cheap flights, I overooked the dates! We landed at Shanghai on August 24, 2008 - the last day of the Beijing Olympics... huhuhuhu LOSERS! If recorded, the trip would've made it as an Amazing Race episode. shanghai and Beijing in just 4 days - include a 12 hour train trip in it! Again, I had FUN!!! The best thing about the trip was I got to climb the steps of the Great Wall!!!!

Another unforgettable memory - watched SIMPLE PLAN's concert with Owie!!! I really had a great time!

SEPTEMBER

Celebrated Soluziona's 13th year anniversary with a Masquerade Party at the company outing. Too bad the Szrhums (Dustin and Renee's band) didn't make it to the final 3 of the Musziklaban :( I got so drunk, i created a personal record of how many times I barfed (proud???) hehehehe! Room 258 of the Mount Sea Grand Resort is definitely one for the books of Soluziona

OCTOBER

I got another kid - Lyn of Astra! hehehehe
