Celebrating 50 Golden Years

It was an honor to be a part of our office' 50th Anniversary aka Employees' Day which was held last Friday, 17 June 2016 at Taguig City University Auditorium in Bicutan.

Last week was a busy one since it was a weeklong celebration. Since I am not a techie person, I only took part on some of the event which happened last week.

We had a fun run last Tuesday where I and a colleague were assigned to give wristband/ballers to runners.

I also took some photos and videos during the activity. I was also one of the Dart players which competed and won in the Women's Doubles category with my very generous colleague Ate Cie. 

We also had an International Conference but I was not part of it so I can't give details about it. Apart from those mentioned above, they have also organized a homecoming for their previous employees and those who have served the office for 25 years or more. I heard that the homecoming was a hit. I was kind of sad that I was not part of it.

Anyways, the much awaited Employees' Day was held last Friday. Many of us were asking as to who chose the venue for the event. Well, the auditorium itself is okay. It's like the usual ballroom area of hotels. It was big and spacious. They've decorated the stage and personally, I liked it.

What I did not like about the event was, there should be photographers at the entrance to take photos of the arriving employees. Or maybe, there really was a photographer. It's just that we came late hahaha so the photographer was already busy covering the event program.

We were told that the place will cold since it is air-conditioned but it was really the very first thing I did not like about event. It was sweating from morning until the program ends at past 6pm. Had a very bad headache due to it.

For me, the food is a very big factor in an event like this. But it was like the typical managed buffet that we usually have during our past anniversaries. We had fish fillet and beef during lunch, and we had the same menu in the evening. We actually arrived at the event kind of late so maybe it was the reason why we were served a plate of pasta with sardines sauce. They should have told us beforehand so we could have brought our toothbrush in the event.

There were games and raffles, but I did not join or won anything.

They were supposed to give us a jacket during the event but unfortunately, the supplier was not able to finish all the jackets on time so they were not able to distribute them. The supplier arrived today with the jackets and I am kind of excited to get mine now.

I love the idea that there was a photo booth in the event. It was available 3 hours in the morning then another 3 hours in the afternoon.
