Anniv Fun!

We have just finished the 10th anniversary of the institution I am currently working in, Butuan Child Care Therapy Center. After all the late night practices and last minute hassles we finally did it. And have done it with flying rainbow colors!Hehehe!
It was so much fun...granted I was not that eager to join in the festivities but one can't help but become part of the preparation.
Firstly cause I can't just watch my co-workers struggling and stressing for the event all on their own. I wasn't excited to join mainly due to the fact that I was still feeling sore for the change in our status from regular employees to consultants. From a regular pay to a no client no pay status. I was really disappointed and disillusioned especially as they (the administration) keep saying that "we are a family" ( bullshit!). But, like I said, I can't help it. I like my co-workers and I can't just sit around knowing that there is something I can do to help them. I also felt sorry for the center's administrator (who is not part of the administration that I was refering to). He was already stressing with the logistics, reservations for venues and hotels and invitations, to making of videos and memorabilia. Added to that the growing gap in his relationship with one of the my co-workers that he was closest to. So, yeah, I kinda felt like I really need to help.
Secondly, there was plenty of food...aaaaaaahhhhhh!Free food. No matter if it was home cooked or fast food, it was still free. FOOOOOOOOODDDDD!
Third, cause it was a great opportunity to bond with my officemates. I mean, yeah we worked in the same center but we barely spend time together. We can no longer eat lunch at the same time since we, the therapists, finishes our last kid at past 12 noon and the teachers usually eat lunch before 12 noon. So, it was a time to catch up with everybody and with what's happening and to discuss our kids. It was most especially fun during practice. The teasing as to who has left feet, the ones that have a hard time dancing sexy and sultry,lol!FUN!
Fourth, it was fun to discuss clothes,hehehe!What to wear for the costume party. I wore anime/schoolgirl outfit,hehehe!What hairstyle and make up to use. And of course everybody was excited to wear long gowns for the gala night. Where to rent,what to rent...the rush and the excitement in finding the perfect gown. Of course, I rented one for the opening number and red carpet, changed into a gown I borrowed from a friend (thanks Jang!) for the awarding and pictorial and another gown courtesy of an officemate for after the contest. It was fun and I felt like a celebrity, especially with the flashing of the cameras.
It was fun and cool and exciting. I'll remember this event as one of the most fun I have in BCCTC.
