Soiree Beaujolais 2007

Soirée Beaujolais 2007

Le Club French Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines once again successfully held the grand Soirée Beaujolais 2007 last Tuesday, 20 November at 5:30 pm at the Harbor Garden Tent of the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City.

More than 1,300 guests met amid verdant gardens and magnificent castles…
Savored excellent French cheeses, cold cuts and other delicacies…
Indulged themselves to the free flowing wine…
Were entertained by the Powerdance, Ms. Verni Varga and Mr. Jay Cayuca…
And danced the night away to the music of The Bloomfields!

The above text was lifted from Le Club news.

It was a night for fun. I was with my closest friends and PR team. I guess all of Manila was there...relatives, friends from school, people you knew from way before. We had so much laughter as it was a time for us to be signed off from work and see real friends. No pretentions when seeing old faces.

Invites said "formal"...so everyone looked dolled up :)

Wine was flowing....cheese selection was like seeing cartwheels on the table....cold cuts were great.

I forgot to take photos of the feast on the buffet tables. Seeing my friends' smiles will be enough proof of the evening and the Beaujolais.

Camera Dock

Its one thing when you have the camera, but forget to take pics due to excitement, busy eating and engaging conversation.

Frustrating when you have documented a seminar, bbq chicken, fruit nursery, truck wrap....and you can't upload it because you always kept your camera dock at your work corner :) now 10hrs away.

I will keep my postings about yesterday's seminar, save it so I can show you with colors.

They finished one side of Sunny's truck wrapping. Nice! It turned out more vibrant on final printing, compared to photos the artist and I exchanged via emails.

Tomorrow will be hectic and we are looking forward to a girls' nightout at the Beaujolais.

Don't worry...will take pictures of the Philippine setting of the wine festival that all of France celebrates.

Relaxing Saturday

My assignment today was AANI FTI:) We are right across a fruit stand that sells native Durian, so I like being assigned there. We are next to the annex entrance so parking is just a hop away.

Midday saw me checking on the hatch.

I sneaked out to finalize artwork for the truck wrap as they were printing today and installing Monday. Small world! I saw Stephane of Le Club. We were using the same printers, Orange Segment. He was there for the Beaujolais 2007 printing. I am going to the Beaujolais with my groupmates from High School...looking forward to having a fun with good old friends :)

Found extra time to get a heavy duty juicer. Did those in 2hrs flat..then went back to hatchery.

Meeting going on now outside as I am posting. But, I'd rather leave that talks amongst the vets.

Looking forward to tomorrow's seminar in Angeles City, Monday's truck wrapping, and Tuesday's Beaujolais!
