Christmas Party in Headway




Last Saturday, December 13 we had our Headway Yearend Party. That event was to summarize whole year, thank to employee for they contribution and of course to spend time together and enjoy. The event started around 7 pm when all of the guests gathered in Café Attivo, small restaurant near our office. We started with delicious dinner and even more delicious desert :) after making our stomachs full we started the program. Hosts of the evening were: Michelle (Accounting Assistance from HBS) and Justin (Business Consultant from HPL). On the beginning we had speeches of Mike and Flo, our Headquarter, later Noli, Tim and Akie (managers of Headway companies) shared their thoughts and gave wishes for next year.


After the official part we started games :)we had both team and individual games. I have to admit that I had a great fun to see all the people completing tasks and doing different funny things :) one of the games was: How good do you know your Manager?. Both managers and employees were asked few questions; the task was to answer in the same way without communication. HDI (Headway Dynamics) team become the winner, they know each other very well :) rest of the teams should spend more time with each other and get to know, integration meetings are recommended :P . We also had time to exchange gifts and we choose Best Look Girl and Boy of the evening, our winners were Flo and Jewel but she left earlier so we decided to give award to Ate Elsa :) Whole evening finished at 1 am and till the end we enjoy time together had a lot of nice moments and laugh. I think that idea of organizing such events is a great. We had chance to gather all employees and show how thankful we are that they are with us.

Filipino Ballet




Last Friday thanks to one of my work colleague I had chance to go for ballet. It was the first time I had ever seen ballet and what is funny my first time was in the Philippines. The performance took place I Aliw Theatre near Star City (playground) the theatre itself was quite similar that those in Poland. Of course there were some differences which pay my attention like: people weren’t in official clothes but casual, at the beginning of the ballet there was National anthem. Interesting was also that the ballet had a story teller which was explaining at the beginning what the story will be about. The ballet consisted of 3 parts, 3 different stories. Name of whole performance were: “Tatlong Kuwento ni Lola Basyang”





All the performance was amazing, very professional, and colorful and it was great to watch it. I hope I will have chance to visit this kind of places more often. After the ballet you could go and change ticket for entrance to Star City. Of course we did it and go to it. Here were many different …to ride so we enjoyed our evening :)
