Missing Them

A simple email from Jose containing these started the ball rolling.


I don't know why flickr cuts the whole picture. But it's supposed to be a calendar.

They gave me the calendar when I left Philam Life. This is the original one.

Aren’t they sweet? They know how much I love Zaizai then, they were willing to pose like him. I’m still keeping the calendar they gave me.

We suddenly realized we missed each others banters and witty remarks so we agreed to have dinner that same night. Too bad it was just the usual fellows plus a very “relaxed” Ms. Rina V. All the other peeps had commitments to attend to or had to be home with their families. Anyway, we had dinner at Solihiya in Greenbelt 5. We ordered their binagoongang pork belly, kangkong con lechon kawali, salt and garlic shrimp and yangchow fried rice. Everything was delicious. And surprisingly, the prices were not that expensive, they were all reasonable. And then we had desserts at Max Brenner courtesy of Jose. He just felt like celebrating. J He ordered the fondue and cheesecake for all of us to share. Then for our drinks Janice and I shared a Colima, it’s a milk chocolate drink with vodka. We talked about the people who didn’t join us (hehe), GSIS providing car insurance policies (most of them are actuaries after all), the Lucida DS scandal, Jose’s car accident, Mands’ and his drinking problem (LOL I can’t believe, he’s finally drinking alcohol!), and more yada yada yada.

I miss those days when we had outings/gimiks every month – sort of our bonding sessions. Everyone is required to join. It was one of the things Candy implemented in our little unit but everyone in the department was welcome to join. Well, some of us still go out atleast once a month – Janice, Mands, Jose, Steve, Charline and Penny – but we also miss the rest of them.
