Party Day

On November 30, 2006 from 6:30 PM, HICAP-HGA held its early Christmas Party. Incidentally, it was the expected landfall of Super Typhoon Reming earlier that day. Pam, Vicky and I were worried what to do if it comes on time and be as strong or stronger than Milenyo. Waaah! We asked Joen Delfino, our caterer that instead of the originally planned al fresco dining, we will just have an indoor dining to be ready for Reming. When 6:00 PM came, there was still no rain and the wind is bearable. Reming was late. Yipeee! We went straight to South Forbes Villas Clubhouse to prepare a few more stuffs before the party starts at 6:30 PM.

Next came a game to raise everybody's spirit - Trip to Jerusalem. But this game has a twist. The ladies must grab the gentlemen's banana.

"Ang tagal naman tumigil ng kanta."

"Oy! Junjun, pa-touch"

"Ngeeee"

"Dapat deadma lang..."

"Huli ka!"

"Ay! Wag po, wag po!"

Meanwhile, Avel covered his face. I wonder why. Is that a happy face or a sad face he's hiding?

Rhoxz became a blur when the time came to grab the banana. Excellent speed Rhoxz!

Rhoxz and Dayday won the hot game.

Another game followed wherein participants will stick colored circles all over their body. After they attached the colored circles, they should find the same color on their team mate then make them touch each other.

If that's the rule, imagine what would happen to the blue circle of Carlo and Sandy.
