BITS AND PIECES

Tuesday night... our Boss treated us for dinner at Dencio's Rockwell Power Plant Mall. It was his post birthday celebration with us.

It was 7 in the evening when we got there. But since the non-smoking area is still full, we have to wait within the smoking area until there's an available seat for the 18 of us. Sir told us to group ourselves, well to have the family style menu ordering.

Order what you like... Iba iba para daw masaya! Sir just dont have the idea what our group ordered... hehehe!

As soon as we got into the non-smoking area, we occupied the long table... as in loooong table. weee! It was really good to see us complete in get together like this. Then the foods arrived! It was the best part really. We have bulalo, sisig, chopsuey, sizzling squid, sinugba, lechon paksiw, sinigang na hipon, and more!!!! di ko na nakita yung order ng ibang group... It was really a big Fiesta!!!

The dinner was really GOOODD!! Everybody was satisfied... syempre Libre!!!

Just as we thought that night would end up that way....its not...

after the dinner we headed back to our base for "some updates" according to sir. I dont know why but all of a sudden we all felt some cringe on our stomach that everybody felt something is wrong... oh! not with the dinner, not with the food... but with that "some updates".

As soon as the meeting started, everybody just kept quiet. That "some updates" just came to be the biggest and saddest news for us. Sir have the hardest time of explaining to us in a way that we wouldn't feel that bad but in any way we felt really... really... unexplainable. Say, simply... WE ARE LOSING OUR JOB! INQ TV will end... up until the end of this month... How would you love that, huh?

There are some options however but in any angle... everything was clear... its time to move and look for a new job. The reasons are clear though... but of course we cant help but think about each one of us.. especially those who have their families.... our crews... those who are not earning that much.

The meeting ended up 12midnight.... still everybody has something in mind but speechless... The next day... all of us failed to sleep well... everybody was quiet... you can see resumes scattered around the office.. jobstreet websites....

coz it sucks when you know you only have a month to scout for a new work.

I wonder, was that night our last dinner together?
