Scripts of My Life (僕の人生の脚本)

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air

~W.T. Ellis

Last thursday, our company held our Bonenkai, aka Year-End Party.. Though its not yet the end of the year, in companies they held the party while there are still work, since after the working days, each employee has their own party to attend to, its better to do it as early as possible so that everyone can participate..

Well, we went in a karaoke house, a very very big karaoke house, 3 stations away from our office.. The room was very big that it can accomodate 30 people minimum.. There are two tvs where the songs can be seen, then there are 4 long tables and chairs… Each table had 2 sets of everything.. Then that karaoke house uses the karaoke machine that our company created… And before the party was started, all the programmers of the karaoke tested the device for bugs and errors.. ehehe..

As for the food, we had this main dish called nabe, it is a stew where you just put all the vegies, chicken, sea foods, mushrooms, and beef inside.. then you just let it boil so that the foods can be cooked.. It was very delicious.. And that food is very famous during Winter season.. Though they dont eat that everyday since the ingredients are very expensive..

Sad to say that I was not able to bring my camera… So no pictures this time.. I was really disappointed when I knew that my crush was going to the party.. Sad to say, that was my last chance of taking the picture.. Haayzz…

So thats one party down.. ehehe..

The next day, Friday, was the day that I went back to Kamakura.. Well, for so many reasons.. First, we had our very own Christmas Party, and then theres also this Job Fair in Akihabara that we went to..

So first, lets talk about the Christmas Party.. We celebrated this small Christmas Party for two Main reasons, first, our friends kuya Pot and ate Kat will be going back to the Philippines this week, then the next reason was that there were no other day that we can do the party.. So after my work, I went straight to the train station and bought my Shinkansen ticket going to Yokohama.. After 1 hour and 10 minutes, I arrived at Shin Yokohama station and had 3 train transfers then arrived at Ofuna station, the station closest to our apartment in Kamakura.. I took the bus because I had alot of stuffs with me and I dont want to walk cause its very cold that night, and arrived at the apartment at around 9:15pm.. so thats 2 hours from Nagoya to Ofuna.. Really really really fast…

The party has not yet started when I came, and we waited for Dabbie and Glad because they bought desserts and snacks, then we also waited for kuya James and kuya Aster cause they bought the drinks..

Kunti lang kaming pumunta

When they came, we started eating the foods prepared by Dabbie and Grace.. So that was Bicol Express and Seafood Pasta..

After eating, we played alot of games and started with the game called Bluff.. That is a card game where you will put a card/s face down and say what it is.. But that card may or may not be the one you said it was.. So if a person said that you are bluffing, and when the card is a bluff, then youll get back the card.. But if the card is not a bluff, then the person who said that its a bluff will get the cards.. So whats interesting in this game is that nobody really knows if the card is a bluff not unless you have the cards to support it… And the placing of cards will continue until a person calls a bluff… And thats the exciting part because when someone calls a bluff, and there are plenty of cards, one of them (the one who put down the card and the one who called a bluff) is in a very big trouble… ehehe… So the game ends when one puts down all of his cards.. And the one with the most cards is the loser.. And in our game, the loser will have his face covered with baby powder.. hehe.. Luckily, out of 7 person playing the game, 3 people didnt had their faces with powder.. And Im one of them, then Glad and the last one with no powder on their face is kuya James..

Kuya Pot..

That is kuya Pot, the biggest loser of this game.. ehehe.. And whats interesting was that, he was the one who knows this game.. ehehe.. The second runner up is ate Kat with 2 losses.. ehehe..

After that, we played another game called Ballesteros where a person leads the game by controlling who to call.. So in this game, each participant will be given a code like magkano, ha, bakit, ballesteros, saan, etc… Then the one leading the game, in our case kuya Pot, will call each codename and the one assigned with that code should answer Po, and then answer his question with a price.. Medyo nakakalito yung game na to lalo na pag magaling yung nagle-lead ng game.. Then pag ang code name mo is Ha, or magkano or Bakit.. Dahil sa game na to, nadale si kuya James at si Glad.. And whats fun was that, this was Glads game.. because of this game, we put powder in her face 5 times.. ehehe.. and take note consecutive… ehehe.. Kala nga namin aabot siya ng 10, sayang, pang countdown sana yung pichurs nya sa new year.. hehe..

Glad, indicating 5 times na nalagyan ng powder sa mukha

So the last one standing is, well, me.. So they all wanted to put powder in my face, so bad that I dont know what will happen if I lost…  So after that game, we played the game called, Shagidi Shagidi.. I really didnt have any idea what this game was, but fortunately I was able to absorb how to play the game.. Well, its like a domino effect game, where the leader will make gestures or movement in the tune of the song, Shagidi Shagidi Shapopo..  What caught my attention was the song of the game, at first I thought it was called Shagidi Shagidi Siya Pokpok... ehehe…

So there were trials first because there were alot of us who didnt knew the game well… And after the trial games, we played the real game.. And here is the video:

Well, on the far background is kuya Pot, and following the game, next to him is kuya James, then kuya Aster, then me, then Ate Kat, then Glad and the last person is Dabbie… So as you can see, my face was the only one with no powder yet.. But after this game, look at my face… So here is the comparison of the pictures:

Picture BEFORE the game

This is me, AFTER the game

So looking at the picture, it seems that I was the biggest loser for the entire game.. Yan ang nangyayari pag pinagiinitan ka.. Lahat ng pagtitimpi nila naipon.. At sa isang pagkakamaling iyon, ang dami ko ng pulbos sa muka.. Na dapat ay 6 na straight lines lang, gamit ang tigi-tigisang daliri nila.. eh inde, 6 na palad ang bumulaga sa muka ko… ahahah… but it was fun… Compare niyo naman kay Glad na 5 times ng nalagyan yung muka, kay kuya Pot na 3 times, kay Dab, Ate Kat, Kuya James at kuya Aster na twice lang… hmm.. heres the other pics

Dab, twice lang nalagyan sa muka

Ate Kat, twice din nalagyan

Kuya James.. twice lang din yan ahh

kuya Aster, dalawang beses lang din

Kung mapapansin niyo, si kuya James, dalawang beses lang din nalagyan.. pero kaming dalawa kasi yung last 2 na nilagyan, so sa kanya medyo madami ng naipon.. Pag dating sakin, binuhos na lahat ng naipon nilang inde paglagay sa muka ko ng powder, kaya look at me.. ehehe..

Sad to say, that was the last game that we played.. Kaya nahinto yun video kasi may bumaba na Nihonjin, pinagalitan kami.. Maingay daw kami, eh mga 3.30am na ata yun, so inde siya makatulog.. ehehe.. And we were making fun of that nihonjin kasi he was wearing jogging pants, snickers, and a sweater.. So akala namin nagjo-jog sya somewhere at napadaan lang at naingayan samin.. But inde pala… nakatira pala talaga siya sa itaas na apartment namin.. ehehe..

After the confrontation, pinagchikahan pa namin yung hapon, then nagprepare na din kami matulog.. So ang dami namin dun sa kwarto, 6 kaming nag share sa 2 futon.. ehehe.. kayu na bahala magisip kung panu kami nagkasya.. ehehe.

Well, that was one of the best things that happened this year.. Actually, pag kasama ko sila, everything is the best.. Thats why Im happy that I was able to be with them on the special event… Sana may next time pa na ganun.. ehehe..

Ja, hanggang dito nalang muna.. ehehe

**Pahabol, thanks pala kay kuya Pot sa Pichurs, and sa gift nya.. Bale binigyan kami ni kuya Pot ng tigi-tigisang bear nya.. ehehe.. yung katulad nung bear nya.. Kaya nipangalanan ko yung bear ko ng Potchi, after his name (Pot + Chibi) though inde naman chibi yung bear, mahilig lang ako sa chibi.. ehehe..
