Last week, Friday to be exact, was a very happy one! Some of us attended a company event last Friday. This has been a yearly event for about 5-6 years now. I am not fond of attending events like this but I know I NEED to attend so off I went. Who would have thought that last Friday would be very different from the previous events.
Why? Here’s my long list of the happy moments just for that day!
- Getting made up by a friend for the Friday grind. She volunteered to do my and another friend’s make up for the event. There’s no need actually, but for a change, I graciously accepted when she volunteered hehehe.
- Spending time with some team members and friends
- Listening to the executives’ speeches
- Seeing our projects in the big screens
- Giving our best shot at the big idea competition. We did not win but that’s fine.
- Free hotel food.
- Bluetooth speaker as a freebie.
- Meeting some colleagues in person after months of talking to them on the phone.
- After party where I tried 3 different drinks hehehehe
- Our boss’s pendulum and hele moment. Not once but twice!!! This was so hilarious! ๐ย ๐ย ๐
- Learning from the team that our post implementation testers have finally signed off because all bugs have been addressed. Whew!
- Getting a box of Ferrero chocolates hidden under the chair I sat on! It’s yours if you found it. I shared this with the team who were left on their own last Friday to continue the implementation hehehe.
- Winning an iPhone X which I’ll be able to get once these gadgets land in PH. Yes, I won a major price!!!!!! After years of not being lucky in raffles, I won. I really won this time!ย ๐ย ๐ย ๐
- But the best of them all?! Getting ย a hug and a kiss from Papa Mike (VP of APAC, my crush since nene days hahahahaha) when I went on stage for the obligatory photo op for winning the iPhone. Jeskelord! Waaaahhhhhh!!!ย ๐ย ย ๐
I still cannot believe it. I spent most of last weekend reliving all the events last Friday hahahahaha! Haaayyyyy! TYL!
โFriday’s grind.
โFreebies!
โThe project we recently implemented!
โThis was the moment he said that the winner was from our team and there I was, still busy taking the best shot of him on screen. Moments later, I heard him say my name! I won!!!!ย ๐ย ๐ย ๐
It was so timely that the sermon last Sunday was about grace moments. Pag na-experience daw natin yun, unang-una, natutulala tayo because it is so unexpected. It is God working. We just “created” the environment for it to happen. Ganyang-ganyan nga ang na-experience ko last Friday. Grace moment. Na of course, hindi ko ma-eexperience IF hindi ako nagpunta!
The end.
Have a great week ahead.
