Protege at The Palms

We had our first off-site team building this new year and it was held at "The Palms" exclusive club in Alabang. We had a bowling activity and 10 members of proteges were there: TL, Kumander, Roxee, Marien, Stephen, Drey, Raine, Angel, Yron and Rob. We have reserved the venue for 20 people but the rest of the team members can't join so we invited 4 guests to fill the spots. 2 former members of the team who have resigned already were invited also to join: K.G. and Lawrence. All in all, 16 kami.


We met at the office at 4:00pm. Ang mga late? Si K.G. at si Drey. Pagdating nila, umalis na agad kami. Hinatid pa kami nang shuttle courtesy of Jen Uy who prepared the activity for us including the services and food. Pupunta na lang kami doon to do our stuff. Hassle-free di ba. Saya! Sila Marien, Lawrence at Raine, sumunod na lang at doon na lang nagkita kita.


We then got our bowling shoes on as we are excited to start the game. 10 games ito! Marami-raming tira ito! Woohoo! Sampu lang kami naglaro. Yung iba, ayaw. Two lanes ang naka-reserve sa amin kaya nagcontest na lang kami. Team A is composed of TL, Drey, Angel, Raine and Stephen, while Team B is Kumander, Roxee, K.G. Lawrence and Yron.


Siyempre, natalo kami. Pano ba naman, ang mga kakampi ko, isang may bakal sa paa at tabingi tumira (Stephen), isang nalalaglag ang bola pag tumatakbo na (Drey), at isang petite na girl na hindi maihagis nang todo ang bola (Angel). Buti na lang humabol si Raine, malakas lakas ang pwersa. Hehe.


Then sinerve ang sandamumak na food. We had multiple orders of calamares, fries, nachos, spaghetti, carbonara and pizza. Yumyum!!! Siyempre, pagkalapag nang mga pagkain, ang team, umattack agad! Woooh! Parang di nakakain nang sampung taon. One click lang. Right stephen? Hehe. Sarap kasi!!!


At siyempre, bumuhos din nang napakadaming Iced Tea. Napawi ang mga uhaw at busog ang lahat nang tiyan. Sulit to the max. Yung mga players, attack sa food pag di nila turn. Hehe. Kami ni Drey, nawili masyado sa bowling, pati turn ni Angel, kinuha namin kasi pinapakain niya yung son niya na napa-cute. Hehe.


Nakakawili maglaro. The last time I played bowling was when I was still a kid. Damn! Ang tagal na noon. Ang sakit nga lang sa wrist kasi ang bigat talaga nang mga bola. Hassle! Yung ibang butas, ang liliit pa. Kamusta naman ang mga higante kong daliri. Pero dedma. Sige lang ang tira. Hehe.


After playing, nagpahinga saglit. Nakakapagod din pala kasi siya. Yung iba, nag-enjoy sa panonood (at sa pag kain) hehe. And of course, as part of the tradition, mega super duper picture to the max na naman kami lahat. Kami ni angel, when we saw the pool, doon kami nagpose. Hehe.


And of course, ilang tricks pa para mauto si Shan para sumama sa shot. Hehe. Such a cute and handsome boy. Inglesero pa ang utoy. Lupet! Sumakit ang ulo ni Kumander sa kanya. Haha. After, dumating na ang shuttle. So we took our last shots before maghiwa-hiwalay.


That's the wacky day of the team at The Palms. Over-all, we enjoyed the activity and bonding time. Sayang nga lang, hindi kami kumpleto. Yung mga nagsabing pupunta, hindi na nakahabol (ehem raech, hazel and bess) hehe. But we're glad that we had a chance to give an advance and belated farewell party for Lawrence and K.G. It was a happy fun day for the team.


The first batch left. Naiwan kami nila Yron, Abi, K.G., Rob, Lawrence at Kumander. Actually nagvolunteer na talaga kami for the second batch. Alam niyo kung bakit? Tingnan ang mga larawan sa ibaba kung bakit.... Hehe.


Kinaya niyo??? Hehe...
