Betchie invited us for one last dinner with Yves before she flies off to Japan this afternoon, and so last night we headed to their flat bearing food that Yves would supposedly miss in Singapore. I was so frazzled from work that I didn’t know what to buy and just grabbed the first thing I […]
Ngangi’s Last Day in SG
Ngangi headed back to the Philippines for good. Lucky for me, I got to be on leave on her last day in Singapore. It was a holiday for everyone else as well, so Chi and Gelle were also free so that we could have a brunch with her. We were supposed to go to Simply […]
Miss Congeniality’s Last Day
I was just starting on my first fund of the day when Kim came around and placed three chocolate bars on my desk. “Wow! Thanks!” I chirped. “Why?” “It’s my last day today,” she replied. “Your last day today?!?” I managed to shriek before clamping my hands over my mouth. It’s not nice to make […]
My Voluntary Exit
When the “queen of concepts” bid goodbye, the ones in charge of her despedida came up with a concept for that – eviction night, or actually, a voluntary exit sa bahay ni Bart. It was held last August 13, my last day in the office (though I still attended the team building on the 14th […]
Carie’s M2N
Our cluster’s team leader Carie is being assigned to Newcastle on an extended business trip for the next half year, so we prepared a despedida lunch for her yesterday where we showed a video we made for her. Since the entire video is too big to be uploaded, I uploaded it in 4 parts. If […]
Paalam, Ichiro!
Our Japanese AD Ichiro was being sent back to Japan after two years of stay in GBS, so they organized a surprise despedida party for him last night. All the people he interacted with were invited and his GBS best friend Sunil brought him there. The event was held in Ardi’s and each group of […]
Bye, Despedidans!
In P&G it is the custom to change roles after every 2 years or so to prevent employees from getting bored being stuck in the same role forever, and also to provide opportunities for growth. And so we bid adieu to 6 lovely ladies (Leah, Kris, Mich, Rhea, Toni & Melai) last September 13 in […]
Bye Bye Reylyn
When Reylyn announced that she was migrating to the Cayman Islands with her hubby, an instant despedida was definitely called for. So I booked a one-bedroom condo in Millennium Plaza Hotels for Friday night and told the gang to be there then. But the night before that, Gelle and I started singing “Lost in Your […]
Bye Bye Kes & Arni (part 3)
As if two despedida’s were not enough, we pushed for one more — our original plan, the sleepover. We rented out a condo room in Millenium Plaza Hotels for one night and checked ourselves in at around 9pm last Friday. But before that, Gelle, Yen and I stopped by Caltex Starmart to buy food and […]
Bye Bye Kes & Arni (part 2)
I mentioned in the previous blog that two of my friends from the office are resigning. Our despedida session in IO was kind of bitin, so we decided to have a surprise lunch for them in their last day in the office, which is today. We gathered everyone together, including those who have been so […]
