Christmas Party Results

I really had a great time during the party itself although we ran through some problems during the program like we wasn't able to start on time and the party finished a little bit late. And it was only after the party itself that I was able to eat, but overall I think we did a great job.

It's already been one week since our Christmas Party here in the office and up to now, I still have a hang-over over the whole happening (from the preparation till the actual day itself). After the party, I spent the two next days just sleeping all day. I still have to catch up with my sleep. I'll never forget the never-ending nerve-racking situations when we had to deal with the different groups regarding the simple presentation activity that we've asked them to do. From the heads of the respective groups to its members, one could really feel the pressure that they want us to give in to their ways. The good thing of having an official adviser is that, she had really guided us and really sticked to what we had already planned and not giving in to their demands. Well, so far, we have received good feedbacks regarding the party and programme itself. Hopefully we're one of the best batches the department ever had for we really tried our best in entertaining our guests and fellow officemates. Some people said that they are glad for we had lots of presentation numbers as compared to the previous batches and some people also congratulated us for a job well done and they said that it's a good thing that we didn't have any internal conflict with my committee members. Just like what I have said to my committee members, I'm very thankful because although some of them are "pasaway" sometimes, but during crunch time, they know the roles each and every one of them had to play. I'm very also thankful to my boss and other officemates for their support and understanding that even though during the last few weeks prior to the party, I haven't really done any much work. I'm just really glad that the party turned out great. Hopefully our VP really did enjoyed the party as well as our guests and sponsors.

It seems that I miss those times wherein there are lots of pending issues to discuss, lots of decisions that needs to be made, and lots of thins to be done. I also miss those times that people recognize and acknowledge me as the president of the Christmas Party committee and also the never-ending meetings and practices that we had in preparation for the party.

If I were to be asked if I would like to be the president again for next year's Christmas Party, I think I would readily decline because of the pressures and responsibilities tied to it. But I really had a great time being the president for this year's Christmas Party though there are also times wherein I felt like I was ready to give up to all the pressures. The thing that get me going is probably my pride saying that I musn't give up to what the things that I have already started. I really learned a lot from the whole activity regarding responsibilities, decision-making, camaraderrie, and most important team work. Just like what I have said in our first newsletter that without team work, nothing could be done.

Hay.. Now it's time to go back to reality.. Back to work again.. Hehehe!
