Camsdcute’s Lair

So in the afternoon of October 24th, just the day before the expected Enchanted Kingdom getaway, or the so-called HP AMG Family day, it was announced that ex-HP employees and contingent workers should be uninvited and if the +1 ticket is for these people, then the extra ticket should be canceled or the ticket bearer should be changed to another person. Just to give a quick background, each of them was given a ticket to EK (Enchanted Kingdom) and a +1 ticket so they can invite ‘supposedly’ any of their friends and family to join them. I, being prepared for the ‘tomorrow’s event’ just got shocked on this news. I ranted and ranted to Merryll, Arcie and Hari. To add to this bad day, I stayed late in the office just figuring out how to solve Kae’s data quality issue.

Initially I thought I still want to join, because I can still pay my own ticket to EK. After all, they haven’t requested an exclusive HP use of the amusement park. I don’t need free ticket to go there but after a lot of thinking, I just told myself, ‘what the heck, the weather’s just to hot and I can’t take a whole day under the sun.’

Since this EK plan was called off, I just went with Marlon and met Jobel in Glorietta for a chat over coffee. In the evening, we had dinner with Dana and her cute baby Hasan. She calls her baby ‘Kuykuy’. I was so glad I met him. His angelic face resembles her mom’s. He seems to have a lot of energy to go walking, jumping, crawling, and playing with other people in the restaurant. I heard he won’t wear slippers unless they’re Havaianas. I haven’t brought my digi cam so we just used Marlon’s cellphone to take a picture of Kuykuy. The quality isn’t so good but at least I got a pic:

Dana promised to invite us over to a dinner in her condo. We’ll be seeing them again soon and we can’t wait to have a taste of Dana’s delicacies.

I’m just excited to spend time with my HP friends again, and this time, with a much more bigger group. I’m so much thankful to Alvin for giving me his extra ticket to Enchanted Kingdom. Each of them was given 2 EK passes because October 25 is HP AMG team’s family day! Cheers!

Karon and I stayed up ’til 3:00 A.M in the morning just chatting in YM.

How I wish she was with me during:

-Vlam & Ja’s wedding… and prior to this, surely she’d be going with me shopping and helping me pick a nice dress for the occasion…
-CJ’s birthday party… then we’ll be going on a movie + coffee til late night
-She’s despedida… then we’d be sitting side by side and talk about everything under the sun

..then when I go to SM Baguio, she and Wayne would be waving at me..
..then she would ask me my trip schedule to Manila so we can ride in together in Victory Liner

Now that she’s in Singapore, I wish her well with her new role.. new company.. new set of friends..new environment and new life..

I just hope she visits us again soon.
