Okay, this is the first company I worked for with over a thousand employees in one location. And outside my team of 18, I probably know only a dozen more people in this office. So my decision to go to the party wasn't without much hesitation. Half the team couldn't make it because they were invited to a former colleague's wedding that same day. The other half, except for one or two, were as reluctant as I was. It didn't help that the theme was 'party like a rock star' and the color motif was black and white. I don't have a problem with those, except this is 2010, not 2000. My black rocker shirts have long faded, and I have since expanded my musical taste beyond rock.
But to cut the long story short, I went. And I'm glad I did. The party turned out be fun. We were able to form a delegation of five to represent our team. In the first hour I was somewhat bored, but they served flowing beer so I played along. Then on my 5th beer or so, the party finally started getting fun!
The headliner bands were Sandwich and Kjwan, which didn't disappoint. Marasigan had aged; Abaya was, uhm, I dunno, never really knew him. There were other bands earlier but we weren't able to catch them because we were almost 3 hours late. There was a DJ that played music for the dance hour. I don't remember his name, but I know it was in the poster. By then I already had a happy buzz in my ear.
I left around midnight, but only after we took crazy pictures by that wall with the sponsor's name (there must be a name for this wall, I just don't know it at the moment). By the time I got home, the pictures were already posted on FB.
