what happened before the "V-DAY"

DISCLAIMER: Napilitan lang talaga akong sumali sa game dahil wala nang iba pang pwedeng maging representative sa team namin. hayssss...

Friday, Feb 13 '09
Our valentine program at the office started during our tea time. (every friday we usually have this where employees are gathered together and were treated with foods, fun and games.)  There are some gimmicks that the fun committee had prepared for this event.  One of that is a dating game. I was requested to be the representative for our team because everyone else in our team are taken except for me.  At first, I really said "NO"!!!  But eventually, my team mate told me that this is just for the fun of it and I don't have to worry or anything, and so it goes... I am on the game!

Mechanics of the Game:
The searcher will ask 5 questions to 6 searchees.  The searchees will then write there answers to the heart-shaped cartolina given to them.  After each question, the hosts will then convey the answers to the crowd and to the searcher.  There is a divider between the searcher and the searchees so that the searcher will have no idea on who the ladies will be.

Game Proper:
I don't remember much all the 5 questions but here are some I remembered with my corresponding answer.  By the way, I was searchee #2.

Mr. Searcher: If you are a thing in the bathroom what would you be and why?
Me: a toilet fresher. no more explanation on why. hahaha!!

Mr. Searcher: If we would watch a movie together what movie would you like to watch with me?
Me: Never Been Kissed

* and the crowd went wild as they know that literally I was never been kissed. nyahaha!!!

Mr. Searcher: What would I miss if I will not choose you as my date?
Me: you'll not miss it... you'll regret it!!!
* panalo!!! as in hiyawan ang mga officemates ko. wahaha!!!

The Announcement:
The announcement of the winner for the girl searcher with male searchees came first.  The girl searcher was my co-QA and her choice was... searchee #2.  He holds the position as Business Analyst in the company and is an expat.

The time comes for the male searcher to announce his choice. this male searcher holds the position as Computer Architect in the company and is also an expat.  Guess what??!!  He chose... searchee #2 and that was MEEEEEE!!! OMG!!!  The crowd was in hysteria again!!!  I got flowers (3 long stemmed-red roses)
and chocolates.  After the picture taking, we were escorted into the conference room where the funcomm has prepared a romantic merienda. with a romantic ambience on the side.  What with all the flower petals on the carpet and with the candles lit at the table.  Effort kung effort talaga!! hahaha!!  We have chocolate cake and blueberry cheesecake as our food.  Because our dates are expats, nosebleed talaga eto.  And I tell you there were AWKWARD moments during that time, but we were able to pull it off... We chatted for not long until we finished our food.  I won't elaborate for more!!! hahaha!!!

At the end of the day, it was a fun and enjoyable experience for all the employees and for me as well.  At least, I got the chance to win on  a dating game... ehehe!!


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!
