So we turned a year old in our company and decided to celebrate it with a potluck party over lunch. Joc cooked spaghetti, and the rest of us bought garlic bread, roast chicken, ice cream and cake. I specifically asked for six candles for the cake as there are six of us Pinoy batchmates left (Farrah would have made seventh, but she has resigned), but Josie is on vacation leave so only five of us are in the pic.

| Happy anniv to us! |
 |
| This pic is so funny! |
 |
| Everyone (well, all except two) |
 |
| We have lechon too! It’s a party after all! XD |
 |
| What party is complete without party favors? (This is actually a pen, in case you’re wondering.) |

| Ralph to Rey: “It’s tough to be in the minority, dude.” |
Coincidentally, it’s also our friend Jyn’s birthday today. We would’ve invited him to the celebration and asked him to blow the sixth candle, but he was on birthday leave. So he didn’t get to see what Rey prepared for him in his seat. We call him Robin because Rey is Batman and they’re a tandem.
I’m so glad these guys dwarfs are my batchmates, and that we “adopted” other people into our group. They’re not just colleagues, but friends – the best benefits I got from joining this company. Their presence is like a patronus in a dementor-filled room. Right, I just lost you there, didn’t I? Harry Potter reference aside – they are my happy thoughts when I get stressed to the point of breaking. So thank you, universe, for delivering me my wish from three years ago. 🙂
