Memorable Team-Building Trip: Remembrance

Welcome to my trip Hivers!

I hope you’re all doing great. I just want to share my travel experience and staycation I had with my co-workers during our team-building and also celebrate the account's 3rd anniversary of working in the BPO industry. I hope you will appreciate it.

We spent our staycation trip at the province of Talamban MarCia’s Mabini Mountain View Resort. During our gathering, we had lots of activities like games, swimming, and karaoke. To get there, my close friends at work decided to just ride motorcycles and my other colleagues rented private vehicles to get there. We traveled about an hour. Getting together with my work buddies for a fun trip was awesome.

MarCia’s Mabini Mountain View Resort indeed a relaxing place, with nature all around us. We had a great time hanging out, and it made us feel closer as a team. It was a super fun way to celebrate the account's 3rd anniversary together. Here’s how we celebrated our anniversary. We traveled after our shift so basically everyone hadn’t slept yet but still we managed to get there and most importantly we enjoyed the trip.

Before we started the program we set up our designs outdoors as it was nice because we’re getting everything ready for our pictures. Plus, there's a swimming pool right next to us where I can find it’s very convenient. We accommodated the entire resort as we wanted to be more exclusive and make it more special to our team. We chose this place because it’s not too far from the city and looking at that place shows how beautiful it is to stay. Thankfully, we're not getting too hot because there's an umbrella beside shading us from the sun. Being outside like this makes designing even more fun and we had the time we played games. We can relax by the pool at any time we want and enjoy the nice weather while we interact with each other. It's a great setup for being creative.

This spot holds a special spot in my heart because it's where I find peace. I love looking at the city views and seeing all the bright lights at night time. It's a place where I can think back on my life, and remember the struggles I've faced, and the challenges I've overcome. The calm weather and the distant views away from the city help me relax, clear my mind, and allow myself to think of my future self. The cool breeze and the lively surroundings bring a smile to my face and fill me with happiness. I wish I could live in such a serene place, surrounded by the beauty of nature. This picture was taken by one of my closest older colleagues, who I see as my big brother or I called him “Kuya” It was really sweet of him to take the picture, and I wasn't expecting it to turn out so nice.

This is the spot where we prepare our food. We help each other and collaborate when it comes to cooking and preparing ingredients. I wasn’t able to help them cook recipes because they didn’t allow me to do so since they are older than me then they obliged themselves to do it, by the way, I’m the youngest in our team however I helped them in other way like cutting ingredients haha🤣 but it’s the thought that counts.


Filipino Tradition " Boodle Fight"

In addition to cooking food together, we also tried something called a "boodle fight," which is a traditional way of eating. Instead of using plates, we laid out all the food on a big banana leaf right on the table. It's like eating in the countryside, where we use our hands to enjoy the meal, a style known as "kamayan". Having a boodle fight was a fun and unique experience. There's something special about sharing food this way, feeling connected to each other and the tradition. Plus, it made the meal feel even more delicious.

This spot isn't just a place to unwind; it's also where we have a ton of fun singing karaoke together with my colleagues. Being here makes me feel enjoyable and happy as I bond with my friends/co-workers. Whether it's daytime enjoying the scenery or nighttime singing our hearts out, this place holds many cherished memories for me. During those times, we could sing as loudly as we pleased because there were no nearby neighbors to disturb. It was pure fun, and we enjoyed ourselves. Additionally, this place is where I've had some deep conversations with my close colleagues, whom I trust with my secrets. We would talk about the ups and downs of life, sharing our own experiences and dramas. This spot provided the perfect setting for what we called "chika" sessions, as at work, we're usually focused solely on our tasks. During our team-building celebrations, we got the chance to open up and share our life stories. I learned a lot from my older colleagues, hearing how they've tackled tough times and overcome obstacles. It made me realize how important life is and gave me valuable insights into facing challenges.Next to the karaoke area, there are beds where we can relax if we want to rest. The air feels fresh there. Some of the other members decided to rest in the rooms because there were plenty of beds available on the second and third floors.

The best part of our trip was how we all connected. It wasn't just about having fun but it was about building bonds that will last. Even though we only spent one day and one night together, the memories we made will stay with me forever. Every laugh and every moment we shared made the day more special. Even though it was short however it was packed with so much fun. I'll always treasure these memories and the connections we formed during our time together. I've always been a fan of keeping memories which is why I always took photos of every episode or every journey of my life.

I am grateful that you have read and followed my blog. I'm extremely thankful. God bless each of us always! I'll see you on my next trip!
