not tables, and he made the table grouping and placement based on the 17 table-map Holiday Inn Catering management gave him. He tried to put 8 people per table first, but when the numbers of reservations kept coming in, he made it for 10 people per table. Everyone who requested to be with other people that they would like to see the most was seated with them. However, table placements were crudely re-arranged during the party to accommodate the new layout and addition of 2 more tables that were supposed to have been there in the first place. So if your table was at the back, it is not Tonette's fault, your table might have assigned to be in front or your table was made adjacent to somebody you knew. Under the same token, if you wanted the back table and got the front one, blame it on hotel management J. I got out of that one, didn't I?
Not too fast! There was another thing that went wrong L. Some of the nametags were missing for a few few people. Believe me, if your name was on the database and you pre-paid your ticket or had confirmed your reservation, you had a nametag made. But the kids in charge of the nametags could not find them. Later in the evening, Tonette found 3 of the nametags that could not be found initially, in the same box were they originally come from, stuck with the others. Next time - (lessons learned), regardless how beautiful the name tags were, we will have the guests make the nametags themselves so as not to offend anybody. Only the officers, Board of Directors and Advisers would have pre-printed nametags.
Had it not been that I have a beautiful and wonderful intelligent wife (laki ng takot sa Mrs ano?), I would have wished to be single again as I almost have forgotten how beautiful the Calambeņas were. My God, they were all over the place wearing their Sunday's best! The ten best dressed and ten worst dressed women were: HA HA, I would not list them, the board would have to meet to judge them. But, Arlene Alcasid's attire was striking. 3 cheers for her!! RAH RAH RAH. How does she manage to be always in front? In jest or otherwise? Well I know she always wanted her name in the newsletter, well I guess she made it again. But then again, there were a lot of women there really elegantly dressed. I had to only quickly look at them, as I am not sure whether they were married or not. Long stare would look suspicious, no matter how innocent it may be. The best looking guy was - TADA! Me, he he he, except my belly was sticking out (just kidding), everybody looked good actually.
