Sykes Summer Outing

June 16, 2007 - Sykes Summer Outing
yeah i know what is on your mind, isnt it too late to have a summer outing... i can see it in your eyes, it is mid-june already and why are u having your outing just now... oh well, that has been the same question that we have been asking the people from the office... until now we have not received any good answers as to why... oh well, let me just share what happened...

since the company has been banned from fontana and the 8waves last week was not successful, then there is no big venue that can handle around 5000 employees all at the same time other than Subic...

the company rented three hotels, legenda hotel, legenda suites and grand seasons hotel... the activity area was set up in the boardwalk area, near the bay area... there were games, darts, frisbee toss, water drop, free henna, free braids, free friendship bands, etc...


during the afternoon we had the games for the entire teams... it was a combination of all the games, plus scavenger hunt (ala amazing race) and scary-factor (ala fear factor). had tons of fun while playing this game. finally i get to experience an amazing race type of game and scary factor... had to decipher and analyze clues and look for certain items... for the first time in my entire life, i drank ampalaya shake, (of course, i had to do it, nobody in the team wanted to do it...)... what does it taste like? eeewweee, thanks to the adrenalin i had i was able to finished a half-full glass of that shake... but of course, i had to think that it was avocado shake because of its color... it was all worth it, we won 10K as our prize, give me more ampalaya shake diba?!....

for the dinner party, the buffet food was great... we had free beers plus the party was hosted by DJ Mo and Asia... it was really a good way of letting loose and relaxing and forgetting of all the negativities in life... it was indeed an Ibiza party... slept at almost 3AM, woke up at 9AM, had breakfast and rested again... we left subic at 12nn the following day...
