Happy new year everyone!
It takes few days for me to share this to you due to some unannounced errands at home and lot of things to be done first. Anyway, last December 26, 2023 was our first-ever Christmas Party in hive! I was so excited to the point that I firstly wrapped my gift in hive before our party in my workplace😁😁.
The exhilarating day has come! Honestly, I was a bit sleepy and dizzy due to my excitement, I was not able to sleep well. Hehe. So then, at exactly 8:00 am we embarked so we can get the venue since our call time was 9 am.
It's just a municipality away from our residence so we're confident enough to be there on time. We then turn to left side going to Tabunok, Sogod where our venue was.
As soon as we entered small alley, we wondered where it ends since it's just so small path going there.
At exactly 8:49 we arrived at the venue, Sacaan Tropical Breeze Resort, and we were the first one to come. Later after 5 minutes of waiting, Inday, sir Kim, and Sir @intoy.bugoy arrived next.
We continued to the pool area where the ambiance was fresh yet it was hot but still, it was great! While waiting for others to come, we had a great time taking pictures with its amazing view.
Amazing rock view😍 It's dark due to weather where it's about to rain.
As soon as we received a message from Indayclara that we had to set everything from decorations to arranging the gifts, giveaways, and prizes, we hurriedly went to Rock View. It's just that, we were waiting for the three of them to get out from the Inn however none of them got out! Then a sudden message was received. Okay... Hehehe we lost our sight of them.
We helped each other to set up the decorations. My husband helped in putting air in balloons and our co-bloggers were able to put glue them accordingly. I and @missleray who was assigned to registration and name tags. As soon as Hivers arrives, I make sure they will not get intimidated and be able to sign their names for the latter activity.
When everything's set, @callmesmile is picked as an impromptu emcee since Mam Dan was not able to make it due to her children's sickness. It's inevitable yet we understand her side. The party started with a prayer followed by a roll call showcasing our outfit-themed Hawaiian. We have to flaunt them according to our taste hehe. It was started with Miss @indayclara who was born to be jolly, smiley, and most especially an event organizer! Hehe. It was then followed by some of us. I don't have pictures of mine however I have many of my co-bloggers. They have so much to give on the floor. The future ramp model!
Here are the top 5 of wearing the best Hawaiian attire! And the winner was @apieceofgwyn! Wohoooo! Because she's wearing a Hawaiian dress, slippers, and Hawaiian earrings. Perfect! She received a hive t-shirt from the organizing team and the rest received a Dairy chocolate 🫶.
After flaunting our attire, sir @ybanezkim26 gave his warm welcome address. Such a heartwarming knowing that they loved us by appearing here at our five-ever Christmas Party 2023!
@iamgagz09 and @heyitsjian were the master of games. Everybody really wanted to win the game since our eyes pierced to the prices huhu. I always wanted to win however, other bloggers deserved more. We had so much fun with those games!
The admin team has the announcement, and an impromptu presentation in every table! The team is composed of five members. Whether dance, song, or any other presentation relatable to the Christmas season. Everybody had a great time practicing, talking about the plan, and others.
Since it was already 12 noon, we took our lunch prepared by the beach resort. We paid ahead of time to book here and the food. Some of our co-bloggers were able to donate from their extras. God will provide them with a thousand folds.
We then continue to some games and presentations. Where group 3 (our group) and group 4 presented. And the judges were the admin team. As Indayclara called the winner was US!!!! Wohoooo! It's just for fun yet we're sooo happy knowing that we're the winner hehehe. So happy to receive an OCD t-shirt 🥹🥹🥹. Seems like I won the entire game! Yeey!
As agreed a few months ago, Mam Smile be performing a song number requested by Inday. Indeed, Mam Smile braved her fears of signing in front of many. Yeeey!
We then continue to our Manita/Manito where we were initially messaged by Indayclara by our Manita/Manito's wishlist. We don't actually know their names but their code names were made by Inday. It started with Mam Ler that we have to describe them according to their code names.
As for me, I described my Manita as fierce, beautiful, and a girl on fire! Because of her code name Katness Everdeen I wasn't wrong with my description. She's @rhianmaker! Indeed true, hehe. Then, my code name was Elsa of Frozen and was a bit awkward since I'm totally far from Elsa huhu yet grateful for letting me borrow this name a while hehe. Anyway, thanks @missjoycee for the gift, I liked it so much!!
I was a bit shy about giving my small gift to our mentors. But I did. My way of saying Thank you to them🥰🥰🥰.
Then, sir Kimmy distributed cute tote bags to us! I really loved it😍😍.
As to end our Christmas party, we took photos of us! This was on steep stairs. Everybody was taking different poses.
Making the sea our background.
A groufie with co-Hivers! Hehe
We were united as one with this online platform, making friends and making connections. Our friendship didn't end online but making it in realistic where we can interact. I love the bond! My second family!
That's all for today Hivers! See you soon😉
