christmas trip stop at Alabang Town Center (ATC) photo from Grace

These are some of the people I work with at the International Rice Research Institute, Communication and Publications Services. From left: Bill, our copy editor; Gene, CPS’s big boss; Angel and Jessica, they belong to a different unit in CPS I forget what they do hehe; Gani, photography; me, extra; and Lanie, one of Rice Today’s editors, IRRI side.

I actually work for a different company (one of IRRI’s partners), but they invited me to their Christmas ‘party.’

Gene said I’d experience their different style of party, and it is not your ordinary celebration as we all boarded a coaster that took us to Bahay Tsinoy museum and Fort Santiago in Intramuros, Manila where we had a walking trip. It was cool. I felt like a kid in a field trip, especially when they distributed snacks in the coaster, a big ham sandwich and a small pack of Lays, plus soda/juice and water. So cute. Then we went on our separate ways at ATC before the buffet at Leslie’s.

This is one lovely memory to keep.
