80s OPM

Tags:
@ 12:44 PM (17 days, 22 hours ago)

I was so pleasantly surprised this morning when I stumbled upon this OPM song from the 80s.  It's a song by Victoria and this reminded me a lot of college days -- crushes, flings, "close friends" (close friends daw!)  Aw, shucks...

{Click here to listen to Victoria's "To Be Near You"}

"To be near you" Lyrics:

Are you just a habit
Or some kind of addiction
Can’t seem to get you out of my system
What good you have done to me
Feels so stuck like glue
Turn the pages in my head if it's only you
I don’t care I would do anything to be near you
I would go anywhere to be near you

Am I truly hopeless
Am I being pathetic
Are you even aware of my existence
Would mean everything to me if you spend a little time
Could you give in to me with the least resistance

I don’t care I would do anything to be near you
I would go anywhere to be near you

(instrumental)

I don’t care I would go anywhere to be near you
I would do anything to be near you (3x)

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
To be near you
To be near you
I would do anything
Go anywhere
I don’t care
I would do anything
Anything just to be near you

Christmas all around

Christmas is definitely in the air.  Not only is the breeze becoming colder by the hour but there is the unusual hustle and bustle only happening during the Christmas season.

Here alone in the office, everyone is busy in preparation for the Company Christmas Party.  We have the inter-department Group Dance Contest which every employee takes very seriously.  Our department, CSA (Civil-Structural-Architectural) is the defending champion so we're quite pressured to equalize, if not, surpass last year's record.  I didn't join the Dance group this year but I'm actively participating behind the scenes.

Party, party, party.  Last Monday we held the 50% Milestone slash Christmas Party for our Project.  This included all departments working on Saudi Kayan Project.  It was really a blast and I would say that this was one of the best parties I've ever attended.  There was an inter-department singing contest where my friend Khristine won second prize.  Yeah, the first prize winner from Piping Dept was good, but production wise, I think ours was the best!  Click here for the video.  Khristine not only sang but danced with 2 sexy back-up dancers, Armie May and Julie.  It really stirred some heat at Palms Country Club, heh-heh.  Right after the singing contest was dancing time.  There was a band who played 70s - 80s songs, straight, non-stop for 1 whole hour!  Needless to say, I stayed at the dance floor the whole time, singing and dancing -- as they say, dance as if nobody's looking, hah!

Check out some of our photos...

And here are some of the songs they played...

Let's Groove
Build Me Up Buttercup
Awitin Mo
Tayo'y Magsayawan
Bongga Ka 'Day

The only disappointment was that YMCA wasn't played... darn.

Last Monday's party was actually just an appetizer.  Tomorrow, Friday, is the big day.  It will be the Company-wide Christmas Party where the Dance Contest will take place.  The party will be at Manila Hotel -- big time, huh!  So, gotta go now, I still have to help the dancers with their costumes and accessories...and all of these I'm doing while pretending to be busy working haha!

Oh, didn't I tell you we'll be having a party again next week?  This time it's the CSA Department party... 

And there's also this exchange gifts exclusively for engineers of the "Houston Scope" part of Kayan project...

And the almost everyday lunch treat...

Lloyd and Petz' birthday celebration...

Ex-DCCD Employees Christmas Party/Reunion...

Now when do I rest???

a little bit of nostalgia

I'm sharing with you 3, yes, 3 songs today.  I copied them from an officemate, i don't know who.  I was just browsing this morning in our intranet, and ever the curious cat that i am, i patiently typed random pc numbers and lo and behold!  I got lucky and opened somebody's pc loaded with music!

These are hard to find songs, well probably because they're old!  As in 80s songs.  Again.  Anyway, they truly remind me of memorable college days.  Bagets era.  Hair gels.  Rolled T-shirt sleeves.  Crayon shoes.  Aga Muhlach (who, I think is even hotter today than ever).  The Tigers. 

Enjoy the music... Ladies and Gents, here's Gary V...
