Enterworks: 5 @ 2005

After 3 weeks of preparation, our 5th anniversary party has finally happened. As usual, we (with Ogz and Joy) were the hosts again. We held it at 7th Note at Makati Golf Club. The place wasn't too big, perfect for 60 to 80 people. There was a stage with a piano and a projector screen at the center. There were 4 long tables setup for us. Frank, the owner, was very accommodating. We got there around 5. We setup our equipments and banners.


Around 7, people started arriving. While waiting for the rest of our officemates, I enjoyed singing with a piano accompaniment. Sonny was the resident pianist.

We started the party with Arman singing "Lead Me, Lord" as our opening prayer. Mims gave the opening remarks.


Jon gave us a toast in Tagalog format and we proceeded to having dinner afterwards. We had pizza, carbonara, chicken, salad, and sausages. The food was good. While eating, we projected the presentation created by Arman, Marc, Sherwin, and Ogz. It was a very nice collection of photos from year 1 to 5. I thought of having it as a souvenir as well.


We had 3 games: Makeover session where Marc was beautifully made up by Nikki, Search for the Enterworks Idol (Tabel sang "You've Got to Love Me for What I Am" with Ning & Randy dancing), and the group beer drinking contest (once again, Nikki's group won).

There were 5 special fun awards: Cary Grant (Madera), Audrey Hepburn (Ying), The Swan (Nikki), Enterworks' Sweetheart (Nikki), and Breakthrough (Robbi).


Noel created a presentation about the history of Enterworks. It showed interviews of John W, Jon C, Mims, Eric, Dennis, Vee, Miget (who looks great), and yours truly. In some parts, the audio wasn't good though. Jon & Dennis handed out the Service awards for those who have worked for 5 years. Mine was given first because I am the first employee. I got a Pierre Cardin watch and a certificate (which I designed).

Jon delivered his closing remarks and a "My Way" version with lyrics changed. It even included "Knottydon". Teehee. Incidentally, Tony attended the party and gave us another "My Way" rendition.

Around 10ish, we had our dance. The DJ chose a variety of dance music from 70s to the present. There were a lot of people groovin to it. Boyette strutted his stuff with Mims and Vee. He can really ballroom dance! While we were dancing, Miguel called Mims' cellphone. We couldn't hear him though =o(


Picture taking was at its pandemonium level. Everytime people see someone taking a picture of a certain group, people rush just to be included in the photo. Total madness!!!

At 1, Max informed everyone that the party was officially over. That means, no more booze =o( Awwwwwwwwwww! We requested Dennis, Mims, Max, and Vee to contribute 2K each so we could continue the parteeee. They obliged.

I'm not sure what time we ended. I even left my toiletries bag at the bar. I hope I could claim it back.
