SOLV Brothers Christmas Party
t'was already past 7 when I met my fellow brothers at Don Bosco last night. We immediately proceeded to the SOLV office for our first Christmas party for SOLV brothers. When I got there, people were signing up their names on a piece of paper. Gifts were placed on a table.
Since we're not complete yet, we were advised to mingle with our team members. I belonged to the Red team, composed of James, Jonathan, Isco, and Gerald (one of our latest bros).
Around 8, Kiko led the prayer and we had dinner afterwards. We had barbecue (the best!), lumpiang shanghai (liked it), beef mechado, and yogurt of two flavors: Kahlua brownies and Triple Chocolate (courtesy of Ramil).
Worship was next. We thanked Him for the wonderful blessings we've received.
Then we had our first game. Pertolino handled the games, by the way. We were tasked to complete the 7 mission statements of SOLV. Unfortunately since we're pressed for time and no one has actually memorized the 7 statements, we didn't get to achieve our goal. That's one of our missions next time ;oP
Next game was more challenging. We had to complete a perfect square with our eyes covered. This produced chaos among the brothers. People were talking at the same time. People expressing their ideas at the same time. People were laughing. In the Green team, they created their own perfect square. In our team, Isco was suggesting sumpthin. In short, we failed again. Pert had to instruct us to remove our blindfolds and talk about our strategy. Randy became our leader. After some minoots, we were able to solve our problem. Whew!
Our third game was the most fun. Pert played some portions of the song, "Pinoy Ako", and we had to think about our choreography. For our team, we were given the first 10 to 20 minoots. James thought of our dance moves and we just followed him. After every team had danced their parts, Pert mixed up the sequence, which made us memorize the steps even more.
Later on, we completed the whole song together with Ramil as our choreographer. We will dance to this tune on Saturday for our SOLV Anniversary party.
Then it was time for us to write down on our name tags our prayers for the upcoming year. We put them all in a box and people started picking out names from it. I got James'. Next Christmas party, we'll check if our prayers were answered ;oP
Exchange gift time. I got Gerald's "Bo Sanchez' Fill Your Life with Miracles" and he got my "2006 Psalms Calendar". That was funny. Also, Randy gave us some laser pointers and Isco gave us some rosary bracelets.
Raffle time once again. Noel got a jacket and Rogel got a bag.
Caloy led the final prayer for the night. I helped in the cleanup before heading back home.
