Superstition say that Friday the Thirteenth is a day of bad luck. Although there is no written evidence of the friday the thirteenth superstition, there are a lot of theories about its origin.
Then Chadey picked me up and we proceeded to the conference room.
Thank you to the beautiful Monde team for arranging all this. A special shoutout to my MJ neighbors.
Theory: thirteen (twelve is the number of completeness) is an unlucky number and that Friday (Canterbury Tales and Black Friday) is an unlucky day.
There are other theories - check them out at Wikipedia
Friday the thirteenth started out like any other day. During lunch break, I finally finished the Thai movie Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which got me giddy the whole afternoon. I stumbled on a four second video where my dad was speaking which led to non-stop tears. Finally 6pm arrived and I was raring to go home and start the weekend. Unfortunately, Chadey did set up a meeting with me after COB. Initially, I though we were going to have an evaluation but at 5pm, I went over to their place and saw Pinky holding a collage of pictures, that was when I had a little hunch that the evaluation meeting is not going to be an evaluation meeting.
Finally 7pm arrived, I didn't want to spoil their surprise so I decided to sametime Chadey to ask if it was going to push through. A few seconds later, a messenger delivered an empty Starbucks cup with a letter inside, a flower and a cake pop in the straw hole. I opened the container and read the letter from Pinky. I was quite touched. But a couple of seconds later, another cup arrived, I thought it was only one cup but I thought wrong! Cup after cup arrived, each delivered by a different guy-from our guard, messenger, IT to our HR! By the time the delivery finished, I had about eleven cups in my table.
Then Chadey picked me up and we proceeded to the conference room.
Surprise, the theme was travel. The glass board at the conference room had a drawing on me beside the eiffel tower on top of the world. A little owl was flying beside me. Harry Potter much? I love it! All the things I love is in the picture. Add fireworks and it will be the best!
The food served stuck true to the theme with sushi, dumplings, bbq, pancit malabon, and potato strings (I don't know what to call them).
The whole thing ended with a video by Edsel.
