Father's Day Weekend
Father's Day Weekend
It was a very simple Father's Day weekend.
Friday evening, we had our team outing at Clark, Pampanga. It was the first summer team outing I've attended with Manpower since I started last July 2007.
The place was quite remote, but nevertheless it was quaint and serene.
At first I thought that I overpacked for an overnight trip. As the evening progressed, it was a blessing that I got extra clothes. The humidity was quite a killer. Still, the evening was quite fun. We had a modified Family Fued game and memory game using playing cards. After that, we had our free time and it was the perfect opportunity to play tong its and mahjong.
Having been tired from the trip and facilitating the games, I decided to call it a night around 2am.
The next day, we managed to do a little exercise by playing volleyball. Then we had a hearty breakfast and some time for ourselves. Thus, I decided to catch up with sleep and watch Billy Elliot. (I love that film!)
Around 1pm, we had our lunch Pinoy style. We ate on a huge spread of banana leaf with viands of tilapia, grilled eggplant, salted duck eggs, buro, and grilled pork. There was also an abundance RICE, green mango and spicy shrimp paste! It was just pure bliss.
Later, the gang decided to do a little duty free shopping. I was kinda disappointed with the shops as Subic had more stuff to offer. Instead of going crazy, I just bought some chocolates, chips, fusion tea and salad dressing.
Heading back to Manila, we made a quick detour to San Fernando and bought delicious rice cakes from Nathaniel's. The long queue and busy dining hall was an obvious indication that the place sold great tasting food at affordable prices.
In Manila, traffic was terrible. When I got off in Makati, I waited for a long time to get a bus ride. I ended up queueing for a taxi instead. Besides, I was exhausted and sleepy. It would've been harder if I took the bus with the load of stuff I had with me.
At last! Home. ZzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzz.

It was nice waking up on a Sunday feeling refreshed. I got to spend some playtime with my li'l nephew Miguel. He is simply adorable.
It donned to me that it was Father's day so I greeted Kuya Mike. It felt a bit empty when I thought of dad. We didn't visit him at the memorial park, but I knew that he was with us the time. :)
I simply rested the whole day and downloaded tonnes of music and movies off the net. We'll see if the files are completely DLd later when I get home. Then, I have to convert them to MP4 format so that I could upload it in my iPod. Update: 25G of 160G memory space left in my iPod.
