To foster camaraderie and strengthen the bonds amongst some of the Cebu Hivers, we have agreed to have a Christmas party during this yuletide season. This has been planned well ahead of time by indayclara@indayclara to ensure the success of this event.

The Venue

The chosen venue was the fantastic Sacaan Tropical Breeze Resort of Sogod, Cebu. The planner made sure that this gathering would be more incredible and remarkable. The venue matters. She ensured that the environment was good for this party, having nature as a better background. It is more relaxing and comfortable to stay with.

Everything was systematic. Somebody was in charge of the registration, the decoration, the game masters, the lady of ceremonies, and the foods to be shared at lunch. Since this is a time of giving, generous Hivers also extended their blessings. The prizes were shouldered by sir ybanezkim26@ybanezkim26 and indayclara@indayclara. She mentioned some of the Hivers who served as our major and minor sponsors. There are many to mention that I have forgotten who they were.

A Graceful Walk to Win

The party started when everybody had arrived. I couldn't believe it, it was more on fashion. After the short prayer, all of us took our gracious walk, wearing our Hawaiian attire. This was our outfit for this event.

I was having fun looking at my co-teacher Hive Bloggers as they gracefully did their part. When it was my turn, it seemed that I was floating while I was walking😁. All of their eyes were gazing at me. However, I'm pretty sure this was for fun and entertainment only. I was totally entertained. What was more interesting about this, nobody was exempted. Everybody did his/her part even Sir Kim, Inday Clara, and Sir Intoy.bugoy.

It was a double fun time. After the exchange of boisterous laughter, the fun continued. It was the game masters' turn. Different games were played and everybody was more motivated to join due to the heart-grabbing prizes. In every game played, Hive t-shirts were the prizes.

Present for Entertainment

Ultimately, presentations during programs are usually done for engagement. It is in this activity that the dynamic support of the attendees will be visualized. We were grouped into four and it was an on-the-spot presentation. However, due to the demand, we were given 10 minutes for the practice. Since this a was contest, each group did its best to win this competition.

Lunch Time

Eating together promotes socialization and contributes to a sense of belongingness. We ate happily our lunch, having a good relaxation due to the ocean breeze that we felt. It was during this lunch that we had a positive bond that is truly remarkable.

Awarding Moment

The winners were proclaimed, the presentation and the best in Hawaiian attire. They deserve to be awarded. Congratulations to all the lucky winners. Miss apieceofgwyn@apieceofgwyn won for the best in Hawaiian attire callmesmile@callmesmile group for the presentation. They all received the Hive t-shirt.

Manito/Manita

Everybody was surprised during our manito and mania. We have our code names which are to be revealed before receiving our wish list. The revelation was so entertaining because we will be thinking of three descriptions based on the code names. This was a little bit challenging since we didn't know who our manita/manito was. Everybody was contented, satisfied, and glad with the gifts received.

Before this moment became a part of our memories, we grabbed the opportunity for our group photography. This will serve as an emblem of the happy experiences that we have before 2023 ends.

It was such a remarkable day. We have traveled afar for this event and it was all worth it. The experience that we have felt is beyond compare. The stronger our bond becomes and we are looking forward to more gatherings like this. It strengthens our community and has a positive impact on our well-being.

With the help of all the Hive bloggers, we went home wearing smiles of success and are expecting more Hive Christmas Party to celebrate.
