DSG employees would come and go by batches. It was fun, doubled with Jay Jay advanced birthday celebration. Though July 4th was declared a holiday in America, still those in the operations had to work. So bus service was by intervals according to shift schedules, 2 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. So those of us who didn't have work, on day off and those whose shift was from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. went ahead. The MTs and the LTs who were on call came in the afternoon because there was work. Unfortunately, for the graveyard shift, they were only there for a short time and had to leave for work.

The dining table and the kitchen were teeming with food and drinks and more drinks and cases of more drinks as people would arrive. Everybody had their fill. Everybody enjoyed swimming and drinking. Jonathan took charge of the games and the grand winner of 100 pesos was Raymond.

It was an overnight outing for the whole department to unwind and regain energy even if the others had very limited time. I had fun watching a group on the other end of the pool taking pictures, rapping, singing and laughing. At the corner of the Jacuzzi were a group of girls enjoying the drinks, telling stories and eating the appetizers. Oh, boy, everywhere I looked, I see them groups all over the place. In between swimming, I would join one group and had a couple of shots of either Empefaluk or Tanduay Ice and dive again into the pool.

Daisy slept it off. She missed the fun that night. She woke up at 5 a.m. and started to howler to wake us all up. Elmer cooked garlic fried rice and Raymond "recycled" the fish fillet. Jay jay, Daisy, Elmer, Raymond and I had to say until 12 noon. So the five of us went for a swim again, even though it was hot. We had no choice but to wait for housekeeping. Soon after, Jeff and Jes arrived to pick us up.

July 6, back to reality...W-O-R-K! Ugh!
