party time
food, alcohol, great conversation and good music usually make great parties. usually.
the problem is, though i had all four last night at our office christmas party and the party went great (i think), i didn't really get to groove & have fun because i played hostess of the program. now i've done hosting stints and i can say in all honesty that hosting a party means you won't really get to enjoy the party, but i sooo wanted to have fun last night. see... this is my first christmas party with this office. but i couldn't say no to the hosting assignment because it was literally forced down my throat. i totally blame it on my party-going mode during our last get-together, since we all found the event a bit ho-hum, i took it upon myself to play videoke mistress (now that's a term i love. haha.) that night. and since i think that they think i did well, it was a foregone conclusion that i would host last night's party again.
it was okay up until the oldies began to mess with the program, literally TELLING us (me & my LATE co-host joseph) to call on whoever to sing a song or two, resulting in a longer program which i couldn't help save anymore. what can i do, i'm the junior-est junior lawyer. as hostess, i just wanted to keep the peace. haha.
so... even if i got to drink a glass of wine and guzzle down 3 san mig lights (how pitiful. for a party that started at 6 and ended at 12, that's my lowest low ever. hahaha.), i totally did not enjoy the party. but it's okay. (obviously, i just want to rant about a wasted supposed-drinking session. haha.)
it wasn't a party for me. it was work. hay naku. so i hope to high heavens that tonight, at the An Waray christmas party, i will get to have fun as i wasn't able to last night. oh. and i have another one tomorrow, with my beloved original law school block. it's major bawi chika & inuman time!!!
kampai!

hehehehe....reject hosting jobs to enjoy any parties. that's what i do now - reject to be in the organizing committee, reject any plea to perform on stage, etc.
Yup, best to be there just as a "guest". I had fun at my office Holiday Party last Friday because I did not have to worry about everyone else having fun! Hehehe I did not get to drink as I had originally planned, but dance I did. And how! Yes, they all claimed, "you are the best dancer here tonight!" ;o) ... So, Plang, next year, just say you can't host, etc, because you have something else to do before you head for the party, ergo, you will be late. Hahahaha
be the bartender LOL thats what I do and I either end up more drunk from tasting or I sneakily make people drink more than usual. Sober ako, lasing sila. hahaha
But I am always planner so I am running around a lot.
Give one too many drinks to a certain someone tonight so you can say your piece ;) hahaha
