Today was my last day with Ayala Malls Group. I am going back to where I came from a week from now and my excitement has waned. Well, there've been unpleasant news and to be honest and I'm quite saddened by it.
My last day also marked the celebration of Ayala Land's achievements on the recently concluded Ayalalympics. The company won the cheering competition. The last time it copped it was 1988, 20 years ago. So this year, it IS a legitimate excuse to celebrate. As Mr. Jim Ayala himself said, the people have been working (in the office) and playing (in the extras) so hard that we also deserved to party hard (!).
So off we were to NBC Tent for the 80s inspired celebration. There were some cheering, some awarding, some food and some dancing. It is the earliest party I've ever been to. We started at 10am and promptly ended by 1pm. People started vanishing as soon as JIA announced that we can take the rest of the day off. By 1pm, the area was stat clean.
It is also the first party where there was no alcohol served. For a company which holds mass several times in a month, why am I still surprised?
And this is also the first party where the oldies and the mid-aged professionals outdanced the younger set. The younger set ate and run. Went shopping? I don't know.
I stayed on because I missed dancing. I had so much pent up dance energy that I had to let it loose already.
After the party, Melody and I went to Larry's for a round of beer. At that point, I was feeling a little bora-state of mind. Under the afternoon sweltering humidity and sweat, I needed an ice-cold bottle of San Mig. Heaven I gulped inside Larry's bar.
A few minutes later, it was raining hard. I was too red and a little buzzed.
This is a kick-ass way to end my "alcohol drought" and party-less mode in the last 3 minutes.
Can i just say that this is the first party I attended where i didnt have to effing usher anyone. thank goodness.
