Annual Christmas Party 2007…

We are “Annual”. A group of computer science students batch ‘97 from University of the Philippines Cebu College. We call ourselves as “Annual” because we used to have an annual summer outing at Mahayahay Beach Resort at Argao. I cannot remember who gave the name for us but until now we still use “Annual” to call ourselves. We used to have 13 active members but we are down to 5 because some of the members are not in Cebu and others have conflict on their schedules.


Last December 17, 2006 we kept the “Annual” spirit alive by having a Christmas Party of our own. We started the party by having a mini-billiard tournament using the Mosconi Cup format but having 3 teams in the competition. Luckily, Grace and I have won the tournament by having the most number of wins. Hehehe…



After the tournament, we decided to go to Patio Isabel and have dinner.

After dinner, it’s time for exchanging gifts. The unusual thing about our exchanging gifts is that I’ll be giving gifts to all the “Annual” members and in return I’m expecting gifts from all the members of the group. I received a motorbike toy from Thelma, DVD movies and a PlayStation 2 game from Hannah, a mug and Smallville Season 2 from Grace. My twin brother and I agreed not to exchange gifts.


Everyone still wants to play billiard so after dinner we went to Cencias and played billiards while having some beer.

Thanks to ANNUAL for the wonderful friendship that we have. I hope that we will maintain this type of bonding until our hair turns to gray.
