Summer has ended yet fun knows no bounds. Last weekend was the moment we'd all been waiting for charot hahaha. After months of planning and deciding and cancelling and rescheduling we finally got to have our team building. The first for most of my coworkers, since most of them are new, and my fourth already. Woah can't believe I've been working this long in our company. Every year, i'm looking forward to our team building yet at the same time wishing it's my last kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
This year's team building was long overdue since it's already rainy season. We even thought it's not anymore possible. But it's a tradition! And it's better late than never.
We're aware we'd be away for 2 days to a place where there's no internet or stores and the like, yet everybody didn't seem to be bothered. Excitement over inconvenience.
Where did we go and what did we do.
We went to Palwit Island, Sto. Niño Resort in Guimaras, where we also had our team building 2 years ago. I never thought I'd be back there again, but it was good because last time i didn't really get to appreciate how nice the place was. I was all too focused on the people and on having fun i didn't have time to look around.
We took a jeepney for 2 hours and a boat for about 15 minutes to reach the island. The weather was bright and it was such a good day.

It's past lunch time and we're all very hungry. To get things done faster we were grouped into 3. One was assigned for cooking, the other for setting the table, and another for after-care.
Everything was set. And it's time for boodle fight!
That was a great lunch! After eating we rested for an hour and prepared for the games.
Don't know the games we played hahaha, just these~
In one of the games, we had to push each other outside a big circle and the remaining person inside wins. We did our best with all our energy, and that was when most of us got bruises and pains and sand all over our body. But no matter what we all had a good laugh.
We still had more games in line but it started to rain so hard so we all went inside our cottage and took a rest. Then we prepared our dinner. We had grilled chicken and fish and some fruits. Just before we started eating there was a power outage so we ate in the dark. It was quite inconvenient but anyway we managed to finish our meal.
The power was restored after a while so we cleared the table and washed the dishes. We then went back to the pavilion to chat and drink beer and sing songs. It was a good time : )
The next day i woke up to the sound of the waves and my coworkers chattering and laughing. It was another great day, and the last day of our team building.
We helped each other prepare breakfast. We had rice, hot dog and ham, sandwich with unlimited lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber, and pineapple. We also had shin ramyeon, sotanghon and bihon...why everything was so noodle-ey. And why such a heavy meal!
the ramyeon in a cut bottle tho~
breakfast by the sea : )
After breakfast we then cleared everything and played more games: Tug o' war, egg relay, and mind-games.
We left the island at around 12:30 pm. Though we're all tired and sleepy, we really enjoyed, and we became more comfortable with each other, as the essence of our team building was to get-to-know and establish rapport.
Perhaps they will dream about it, expect new experience, explore new places, and have more fun next year. As for me, whether or not i will be able to join, whether still with them or with different people, i just hope it will be as memorable as this.
