My Household Christmas Party

If families hold reunion during Noche Buena, company employees and members of any organization, be it civic or religious, look forward to a Christmas party.  Christmas parties bring out the best in everyone.  The sisters bring their signature specialty viands, others showcase their talent in hosting the program while some are very able gamemasters.  Our household  under Bro. Junel and Sis. Cecille Ama held our Christmas party at the attic of the residence of the Amas.  Each couple brought food that was assigned to them in an earlier household meeting.

Everybody busy getting food
Aside from food, we also brought gifts for the exchange gift and white elephant.  I got Cecille's gift while Nympha Padolina got mine.  For the white elephant, I brought a microwave, a remnant of my food cart business.  Nympha got the microwave but sadly I didn't get any gift from this game.  


Games
No party is complete without the karaoke.  Everyone had his turn in belting out his favorite song.  For karaoke regulars, one song is not enough though.  They could sing (or shout at times) a whole repertoire.

Before heading off home,  we had our group pictures taken.  These would be the official "family pictures" of our household .... well until the next reorganization.  Lol.

The Legacy Run

On November 28, while most of Metro Manila was still asleep, participants to the West C Legacy Run gathered at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.  The organizers of the event reported that the Legacy Run was a huge success.  The number of participants breached the target of 500 and all the t-shirts up for sale were sold out.  After the run, everyone settled for some games, ice cream novelties courtesy of Selecta and a mega-almusal for those who brought food.  For some who did not bring food like me, we ate our breakfast of chicken adobo flakes, fried rice and hot native chocolate at the nearby Chicken Bacolod.  Here are some of the photos taken to commemorate the first ever fun run of the CFC West C Sector.
