CT- Sleepover (like no other)

CT Team: Simply stated, it is less me and more we.

I say, this is not our first overnight together as a team. We had a few sleepless nights indeed, making our never-ending reports and feasibility studies. Our 'venue' was always my place, same old couch and dining table as our bed.

This time, everything was new - from the bed sheets to the lighting, it just ignited a whole new overnight experience for us. I call it a sleepover like no other.

I never thought we'd be finally able to do it. For months we've been planning to go on one of our tour destinations and actually spend the night there as guests, not as coordinators. But we never had the luxury of time to do so. With my lightning fast mind [took me days to plan this out - :)) ] I planned for a 2-day trip down South to finish up our projects and suggested it to them. Of course, with a 2-day trip, we had to stay somewhere for the night.

Though it was still considered a business trip, again, who says you can't have fun (lots of it) while working? :))

So, after a sizzlin' hot day going around in Samboan, we travelled back to the town of Boljoon. Finally, a breather!

"We, as a team, didn't start out as best of friends. We were just old block mates from first year college. But through time, we learned to trust each other not just with our roles and responsibilities in the company, but as real friends. Someone who rejoices in truth, listens to all your rants, accepts your imperfections, mourns with you in sadness and encourages you to become a better person. This is something I thank God for everyday, a friendship like no other. "

Hannah and I - we were supposed to sleep in one bed but i ended up sleeping on the floor :))

The photogenic Danica, the ever charming Sheena and sleepy-head Christine on the other side of the room.

Our signature pose - with Danica! There's just something about this letter. #Happyhearts

Look at these two lovely ladies and the pretty colorful bed linen! Oh love!

The warm yellow light in our little room. It gave us that homey feeling.

That night was just special and extraordinary. We slept late, talked about anything under the sun and had a good laugh! It didn't matter what our eye bags would look like in the morning with only a few hours of sleep and considering the work that we had to accomplish the next day, what mattered most was the bond and the strengthened friendship.

"The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters."
- Thomas Jefferson

I just love these ladies as much as I love my job!

Mia, Sheena, Hannah, Danica ...

and Christine ....

Individually we are one drop, but together we are an Ocean!
