surprise party at the shang and a very touching video...i cried :)

...for all i know i'll be spending the whole 4 nights at the shangri-la without even thinking anything about work even for a second...i guess i was wrong...little did i know that AOL's big honcho's are all their and they have set-up an event to give us a little celebration of what we have achieved...

...few hours after i checked in, i got an invitation to attend to a luau party hosted by AOL...damn! if only i could have known that i'll be attending to one i could have prepared for a fabulous hawaiian/luau outfit...but oh well..too late for that (good thing i brought my fishermans capri and some white polo with flowers on it - instant hawaii )...original plan for the party would be at the beach and everything was all setup but was moved an hour before it starts because of the rain...spoiler eh?

...in the event, i got to know a lot of people - people that i have to get close to - i mean really close hehehhe...nah i'm into that "kiss-ass" thing but its better to have a level of comfort with your bosses...who knows you might need it someday...

...nyway, at the luau, most of my friends from the office who attended were shocked by the new hair color i'm sporting...well it's not really a total shock since they already seen it before but they never thought i'll be doing it again...i was so surprised that they have prepared a video for me...with some messages from my bosses and some friends from work...it was really nice seeing them making an effort for even a small message...i was crying like crazy hahhaa (in my unconscious mind that is)...as the old adage goes:

I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS I SWEAR!!! HAHAHA

well here'sa glimpse of that video, just thought i might wanna share hehehe..

and of course...lil' camwhorin' at the party
