Paskuhan sa Tumana 2011

December 16,2011.  For a couple of hours at least, 18 brave souls now banded as Match Factory workers, celebrated their Christmas Party.

This Christmas Party would be fondly remembered as a night of revelations.

First and foremost, it was a revelation to see the organizational skills of Kenn and Cathy. Their uncanny duo made it possible to execute a four week “monita-monito” run very smoothly without people having to give latex-condoms as we’ve seen in past years.

Cathy’s catering skills were revealed as she budgeted not a whole lot of money to come up with a sumptuous feast.  The “tower-mug” was a touch of class that transformed the dinner setting into something funky. 

The music of the night was courtesy of the “Tumana Band” of  Almond and Van. But the revelations of the night were still about to come.  Deah and Kim wowed us with their singing prowess.  Ella, of course, dazzled us with her emotional songs.  Truly revealing was Cathy’s rendition of “I don’t want to miss a thing”.  Nobody was talking when she belted that number while her special-someone, Mon, listened in awe.  The rap-trio of Ria,Jasmine, and Deah was hilarious.  But the Champion of all songs would be RJ and his rap-version of a Linkin Park hit – “In the End”.

Just when you taught you saw it all, the wacky side of the TL’s was revealed as they participated in the banana-match relay.  Their hips swayed gamely as if they were teachin us how to doggie as they battled to reach the finish line.

Almond then revealed his bitter-sweet news.  Sweet because he would be pursuing a dream in the land of milk and honey. Bitter because we would see another good man leave come 2012.

The thunder of the night would be the revelation of Francis and Barbee.  Yes folks, they have finally admitted that they are now an item.  Hell Yeah! What else could you ask for? A surprise for every step you take.

Post Script. Another tender revelation.  Rhea is confirmed to be on the same boat with Kim. Two kids for Y2012, a pair of luck charms.

“I tried so hard and got so far but in the end, I found out that  it did really matter….

Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
