Like the first ever Noche Bueno last year wherein I got "Mann Hann-dled", this year certainly lived up to the billing and the hype, if not surpassed it. Noche Bueno is really becoming a legendary tradition. It's great to see this bunch of people I call my extended family come together for a night of just enjoying each other's company.
Special mention to the following people: Anton, Brian and Ina Campos for hosting the party in their clubhouse. Bong Sia for cooking that awesome meal (that Brie sauce on the pepper-crusted ribeye was just out of this world). Yuri and Keo Ramos, Angel Yu, and Kara del Rosario for bringing food. Everybody who brought gifts. Anton and Crystal for taking photos. Yuri again for bringing the projector for viewing our recorded games. Pat Cabalu for being Pat Cabalu. The guys who participated in the fliptop battle. Those who played Wa. The newbies who seem to be fitting in very well. Everybody who tried to catch up even if they were late. I could go on and on, but I'd just end up thanking the entire team anyway.
This one is for the history books, and I gotta say I'm certain there's plenty more to come. These are the times when I tell myself that all the work we put into the team is worth it. We ended the year right, and deservedly at that. Onward to 2011, and I'm pretty damn sure it's gonna be even better. Oretachiwa Bueno!
