DC/FigFM members-Xmas-party-dinner-blog thingy update.
Yes yes.. updates, I know I owe those who have read my previous post-cum-invitation more detailed info about this humble gathering I have been working on. Alas, Boku Otariiman, and as an otaku salaryman, fending for ones sustainable income takes precedence.
And onto the updates, we, or rather myself and a few comrades, pretty much have ironed out some of the details and for my part what is supposedly the menu of activities. However the 2 more important things are still to be settled which I know bring to your attention.

Ideally, we were looking into reserving a function room that would be able to accommodate 20-30 people and a small gathering area of sorts wherein we could bring our food to share with. As of this writing, the venues that we were checking out were either booked for the intended dates or are too pricey.
Plan B is to book a restaurant for 20-30 people, even better if they have a function room we could use so as we wouldn't be disturbing and driving other people nuts.
That brings us to our next dilemma. Budget.
Initially, we were going to ask for a humble donation of $5-7 (Php250-350) to cover the expenses accrued by the organizing party and perhaps even a giveaway of sort.
Now if we were to go to plan B, we estimated that the donation would become more of a contribution of $7-10(Php350-500) each. Which leads me to you, the local folk who intend to join on our humble ruckus.
Know that for Plan A to get into motion, we'll need to find a venue to support the planned activities which I've stated in my previous post. If you have suggestions, let me hear them. The venue must be in either the Makati, Ortigas, Greenhills or Pasig/Mandaluyong area to be accessible to mostly everyone. Allow food and beverages and have some power outlets
wish I could come ^w^ although I wont be back till 3rd quarter next year XD planning to give away some puchis ^w^
(but those who can meet me at C77 - you're lucky XD)

you should use smaller images , makes reading easier instead of making the reader scroll so much.

anyway good luck to your party!

DITTO
Same here -_-
Why do I live where these kind of things never happen :( need more kind of people of my country
Another thing to keep me psyched about vacation! :) I wish a date would be announced soon.
First things first. ^_^
teehee... :D
as I said in the previous post: willing to help, let me know what you might need doing.
Much appreciated, well we need a venue to begin with as I stated up there. got any suggestions? Though I'm just about ready to chuck Plan A and go with Plan B instead where it'll be much more convenient and logistically possible.
yes, that's why I clicked on the Plan B option. it might be much easier to do that. the problem now will be drawing up a short list of establishments because we need to move quickly and get the booking nailed down before we get snowballed in the rush of other groups getting venues for holiday parties.
let me know which establishments you've got your eye on and the rest of the details for the gathering so I can help with maybe making phone calls or something....
Plan B is all covered actually. ^_^ mostly establishments in the Greenhills area. Trying to keep it within the central area that way it'll be easily accessible.
A restaurant huh? At 350 to 500 per person, at least according to the poll, that should get us plenty of munchies for the event.
If in Makati, may I suggest Shinjuku restaurant near Makati Ave? Lutong Macau is also pretty good, their pata tim is tops.
There's always Gloria Maris in Greenhills, but that's too easy a choice. Maybe one the many restaurants along Wilson?
Still kinda hoping for potluck. Already practicing making my takoyaki batter and okonmiyaki batter mixes.
I'm for Pot luck myself, but it's there's the issue of a place to host it in.
I'd gladly help if the venue is within Ortigas and/or Greenhills area, is there a way for me to contact the host for this Christmas party?
We've already settled everything, you can read the details here. Thanks for the offer and hope to see you there.
