Kasalang Bayan 2014 (sa office)

25th of June 2014 when the event “Kasalang Bayan” was held at the office. No, hindi po siya totoong kasalan, isa nanaman siyang theme day na naisip ng aming mga bossing.

And the criteria for judging are:

- most creative team

- originality and resourcefulness

- relevance to the theme

Ang prize?

- 2500.00php for the winning team and 1500.00php for the runner-up.

Again, it’s a competition accross all accounts being handled by our Senior Operations Manager, kaya eto nanaman kami. Research nanaman ng magandang wedding theme with our very reliable bestfriend G (a.k.a Google).

We originally planned for a Black Wedding Theme, kagaya ng wedding nina Jay Contreras ng Kamikaze and Sarah Abad (sister ni Kaye Abad). Since along the planning stage, di sinasadyang narinig namin ang plano ng kabilang team (no intention talaga, lakas kasi ng boses nila, nalaman tuloy namin. :D). So, we had a sudden change of plans. At dahil sa malilikot naming imagination we came up with a Luau/Shot-gun Wedding Theme.

Now with the needed design, ang mga dating diy (do it yourself) paper flowers na nakalagay sa arko na ginamit namin sa Santacruzan theme day ay ginamit namin uli. Well, di naman lahat. Only those na maayos pa tignan and I made a bouquet out of it, and added more for the additional bouquets, assorted colors naman ngayon. And of course, hindi mawawala ang ibang props like the wedding invitation, garter, floral headdress, bouquet ng bride, wedding cake (from mamon and cupcakes), wedding cord, arrhae at wedding ring! And ang frame para sa aming photo booth. Our teammate Marichie even had some summer hats for an additional props.

We even had a pre nup pic ng groom and bride and the colorful toy gun. At mawawala ba ang wedding souvenirs? We had munchkins in plastic shot glasses na nilagyan ng mini umbrellas.

Good thing nakisama ang queue. Halos wala kaming nakukuhang emails so we had most of the time preparing, di pa kasama iyong mga naging homework namin.

This time ang outfit namin ay floral dress with matching white slippers, ang guys naman nakafloral polo and shorts.

The other two teams from our account had the traditional wedding theme with the brides wearing white gowns.

The winners were announced the next day, (pero nalaman na namin bago pa naiannounce, not sure how my team mates found out) and the winning team is…

Yes! The ECare Team wins again!

The other team from our account with the Black Wedding won as Best Groom and Bride with a 500.00php worth of Starbucks GC.

As of the moment nag-iisip nanaman ang mga bossing ng bagong theme day. But my teammates wanted to rest muna. Give chance to others daw muna, lagi na lang daw kami nananalo. :)
