The Po3wzh Pose

Last Tuesday, the office had our birthday cocktails. The theme?

Jejemon.

Wait, that didn't come out right.

J3j3m0hwn!

As a sign of sportsmanship and the spirit of gameness, some of us showed up in our j3j3 best, which led the 3 of us to be named top 3 j3j3m0hwns.

I'm the traditional j3j3m0hwn, Mayu is the j3j3pan, and Mikee is the j3j3Lo.

Seeing this makes me even gladder that this era is over.

I took a picture, I took a picture

Because we're turning Japanese!

The Creative Team was the host for this month's birthday cocktails. We had several themes in mind, but knowing that this month is the Sakura season in Japan, we thought of bringing a bit of Japan to Ortigas.

Thanks to the team, we were able to transform the CAI Cafe into our little piece of Ueno park.

Sugoi ne!

Sweet 60!

Today is the day!

Celebrating 60 years of marriage is such an amazing milestone. And we're super blessed that my parents have the privilege to celebrate theirs.

Needless to say, this party was in order.

Not Becky's Kitchen

But Becky's living room!

Once again, the Mass Comm faculty continues our tradition of spending our Christmas party at Becky's home.

As expected, it was an afternoon filled with food, laughter, and teacher talk.

Merry Christmas, Mass Comm!

From spreads to jams

Another month, another party organised by the creative team.

Since it's October, we wanted to do something related to Oktoberfest, but not too obvious.

Thus, Oktober Jam.

It's probably the longest party we've had so far. It extended until after midnight ,which is testament to how much everyone enjoyed it.

This jam was a success!

Delightful Decades

During yesterday's GA for the CommSoc, they asked the students to come in outfits from different decades.

Most of the students came in 80s garbs, followed by the 90s and 00s. Some came in as far as the 20s, and 60s, but the most popular decade was probably the 80s. 

One student came as Cyndi Lauper and she got the look down pat.

The funny thing was the fact that the students called them "fashion flashbacks," while in my case, these are outfits I've seen and lived through. 

Yup, I'm old.

One-derful

Last Tuesday, our baby Saabers turned one. And last Thursday, we celebrated it in the most popular - and Pinoy - way.

Through a Jollibee party!

Without fail, it was a hit among kids and adults alike. That's how universal Jollibee is.

Happy Birthday, Saabers!

Partying day to night

That pretty much sums up today.

In the morning, we had our institutional Christmas Party at SSC. It was great to see the whole Scholastican community together. I'm always amazed at how big we are, and despite the size, it feels like an intimate family.

It was great to catch-up with co-faculty who I haven't seen in a while.

Then, it was off to Richard's house for our annual Thanksgiving toast.

Gosh! The parties just go on and on. (And I'm all for it!)

Flying Coach-ella

And the parties continue.

Tonight we had our office Christmas party! 

Since there are a lot of Gen Z-ers in the agency, we thought of a theme that's both relevant and appealing to them.

Yup, we had a Coachella Christmas party. We brought the music festival vibes and reminisced about concerts we attended and festivals we want to catch in the future.

Thanks to our Admin and the ChrisComm for making the 2nd to the last party of the year very festive.

Ex-colleagues, Assemble!

Yesterday's ASC Christmas Party was fun.

Not only did we get to dress-up and see other people in their own interpretations of Marvel characters ,it was also a time to reconnect with old industry friends, as well as former colleagues.

Maya, Flor and I were all part of the Colgate-Palmolive team at Y&R. Onel was also there, but he wasn't part of the picture.

Just like the Avengers, this was our opportunity to Assemble!

High on "Gras"

After 4 years of absence, our Annual Anniversary party is back!

This year, our theme is "Mardi Gras," so everyone dressed up in their best NOLA attire.

We missed dressing up. We missed partying. We missed getting together with clients, partners and industry friends. 

We missed this!

And we're on a high because we finally get to continue this tradition.

Creative Club

Since "disco" is an oft repeated subject during creative conversations, it's just fitting that this was our theme for this month's birthday celebration.

Welcome to Club CAI!

Thanks to this cool and crazy team, we were able to pull it off!

Going bananas in Pajamas!

Finally, after months of not seeing each other, the folks at the office will finally get together - albeit virtually - for our annual office Christmas Party!

Since we're all going to be at home and will be wearing our house clothes, we thought it best to just make it a pajama party! That way, we don't need to dress up. Harhar.

Seeing everyone again on Zoom. This is going to be bananas!

Yes, I'm that guy...

The Bowler Hat Guy, to be exact.

As a person who's notorious for being a "goody two-shoes," it was fun playing the villain for a night.

Play bowl!

Who would've thought that a bowler hat would be difficult to find here in the metro.

Thankfully, I'm very persistent and patient in going through every obscure shop in the vicinity to find it.

And I did!

Just in time for tomorrow. Whew!

In a Galaxy not so far away...

The Guardians got together to party!

Presenting the Creative Department's team costume for 2018. We're a combination of Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Infinity. This is our interpretation of this year's "Outer Space" theme.

Well played, team. This is out-of-this-world!

Wonky!

Presenting, the 2017 Creative Department Christmas costume: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

(From left to right: Front, lying down: Oompa Loompa, Second row: Veruca, Augustus, Charlie, Willy Wonka, Violet and Mike. Third row: Veruca's Dad, the Golden Ticket, Charlie's Grandad, Augustus' Mom and Dad, Violet's Mom, Mike's Dad.)

They voted me as Willy Wonka, and thankfully most of the props I needed were just at home. (The wig, though, I had to buy. Nope, we don't have wigs lying around at home. Hahaha.)

Sweet!

Off with her head!

Since Ferdie came in as Marie Antoinette during our French-themed Christmas party, I thought of getting into the story and attempted to cut off her head.

Talk about taking our roles too seriously.

Rats!

This year's office Christmas party theme is French.

Just like last year, we decided to dress up as a group. For the 2015 animated party, we came as Mars Ravelo characters. So, a week ago, we started discussing our costume for this year. Our parameters were simple: it had to be French, easy to execute, and comfy for everyone.

Our theme: Ratatouille!

Yup, we all came as chefs, with the rats from "Ratatouille" on our toques.

As usual, everyone had fun with the costume. Our only problem was, we had to dodge people who thought we really worked there as chefs! Harhar.

New year, Old Frendz

Because the Christmas season isn't officially over until D' Frendz meet up for the annual leftover party.

Now, it's really the new year!
