On the deck towards the stairs
As I wrote here, our Department held its annual get together cum team building within a Dhow Cruise. It’s one of the rare occasions that colleagues from all three offices in UAE gathered, without necessarily discussing work. Although there were little chattering about professional encounters as we catched up on each other’s lives. It was also a great time to mingle and reunite with fellow Filipinos, which we term as Filipino community/Pinoy Department.
The team building itself was not strictly held at its ideal phase. There were few but acceptable group games, good enough to make us more excited for dinner. We spent the first half of the affair at the deck, savouring the breeze. The cruise timing was good because winter already set in. The wind was literally refreshing.

As the group jumps and hugs are among the most candid photo subjects, I love taking a snapshot of the drinks as grouped. For me, it’s like chronicling the number of people that shared the moments more than the food. Incidentally, I have several random photos of group of cup of coffee and glass of frapuccino/juice/shake. And as I look at each copy, I still recall which cup/glass belongs to whom. Oh well, mine was one of those avocado shakes.
This is my entry for this week’s Photo Hunt.

My cousin placed third in the most recent ECE board exams. It’s almost been a week since our family and relatives savored this blessing. I’m sometimes a little unorthodox. Instead of congratulating my cousin, I directed my delight to her parents first, “I’m so proud of you.” Then I sent her an SMS, “Ang galing galing mo! Congrats!” She replied, “Thanks po, Ate. Blessing lang din po ni God.”
I rooted in a clan who is relatively responsible when it comes to academics. I never realized it until I was associated to my mother’s, aunts’, and elder ones’ lives as a student before my graduation in elementary. It’s like taking care a record from one generation to another. Since I am the eldest in my generation (among the cousins), I was not really obliged to excel but as I look back now, I would say that in a way, I deniably wanted to set a good example.
