I just got home after a fun Company Christmas party. It was better than last year. This year, I had a dSLR with me. I also had a borrowed external flash (which I didn't know how to use). So I played the role of a freelance photographer tonight -- with no pay.
The party was held at Marriott Hotel, Cebu. As I criticized their food in a previous post, then so shall I criticize it again. It wasn't even close to good. Maybe I am used to eating a poor man's meal, with way too much MSG for flavoring, that food from prestigious hotels like the above mentioned becomes tasteless.
There was a band this time around. They are called Pandora, a local band. They played great music, typical of bands who get booked to play on events. But they mostly played cover songs. So I can't say how good their original stuff is. Granting that they are releasing their album on the 17th, then maybe if I get my hands on a copy, I will post a review. Nevertheless, their choice of music tonight was familiar to most people there. In other words, a safe playlist.
When everything is free, that's bonus points for greatness. Food and entertainment were free. Prizes were given away to some lucky winners. What's there to complain about?
P.S. As our team placed 3rd on the departmental party last week, we were forced to represent our department in the said company party. Begrudgingly we did an encore of the presentation. And we won 2nd place! Well, whadya know? Hehe.
