[K.D.]

I'd love to. But I need to support my wife with her business. We participated in a Christmas bazaar and will be returning the stuff to the franchiser tomorrow. But if I have time in the early evening, I will drop by. Thanks for the invite, Rollie. You rock! :)

[Moody]

Tina: Or ate tina? Nag-PM po ako sa'yo regarding something related to the party. Sana mabasa mo asap :P

[Tina]

WOHOO THIS HAPPENS IN A FEW HOURS!

Sorry if I wasn't able to post much, busy doing last minute stuff. But guys, see you at the F2F12 and Christmas party! :) Please don't forget that we STILL have a discussion before the party so participate!

Also, don't forget the reminders that Aaron posted earlier! All reminders will apply to ALL, including those who will bring friends. :-)

ako rin! haha :D

[Moody]

Clarification lang po. Yun pong coupons are available only sa business ng mom ko at hindi po sa malls. Clarify ko na lang po ulit later sa mga gustong mag-inquire. Thanks!

[Moody]

I didn't find the location :(

[BookDeliria (Dia)]

I wanted to go too. I just had exams. (new member) :)

Hello, guys! Thank you so much for the wonderful night! Sobrang worth it yung pagpunta ko sa malayong lugar kahit walang tulog :) nakakaoverwhelm yung gifts niyo and I feel special (hehehe).

[Reev]

• Great job, Kwesi. Great job, organizers. For making everyone happy.
• What a great year for TFG. Looking forward to discussing more books with everyone.
• Highlight of the evening for me was Alexa and Tricia dancing across the pool. :)
• Whoever brought those thin, plastic, mik powder straws is a genius.

• Hi crush. :)

[Angus]

I slept beside my loots and gifts, hahaha! Thanks, friends.

To Miss Ronnie, thanks for the hospitality.
To Celina, thanks for taking over the hard task of collecting the registration fee.
To Ella and Miss Louize (and the countless photographers), thanks for capturing the fun moments.
To Reev, thanks for the wonderful music.
To everyone who pledged something for the food and who helped organize the Christmas Party, thank you at may kinain ako today for lunch.
To Kwesi, you did a great (?) job kahit may exams.
To Tina and Aaron and Lynai, you guys rock!

To everyone who was there, thank you! Sabi ko nga last night, we all had something to contribute. Kahit ang presence lang ng isa ay enough na para maging masaya ang event. Makita mo lang na kumakain ang member kahit quiet siya ay nakakataba na ng puso. See you soon!

Sorry pala, wala akong nabigyan ng Christmas note, nastress ako ng very light sa donation for drinks, hahaha. XD

[Monique]

Hi guys!

I still haven't opened any of my gifts (I do it on Christmas morning) but THANK YOU to everyone who gave me something - you know who you are.

Congratulations to the awesome moderators for a great shebang! I had to go home early as usual but I enjoyed every minute I was there.

My heart is so full it's going to burst.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Love,
Monique

I can't stress enough how much I had fun last night. I feel so bad that I had to leave agad, but rest assured that every second I got to spend with you guys was memorable! As in. I didn't know what to expect kasi it was my first TFG Christmas party, but if I did, last night would have exceeded them all :D TFG was one of the highlights of this year for me, haha!
(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)](view spoiler)[No, really. (hide spoiler)]



...and one of those is having the opportunity to know you guys. *iyak* (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

I'm terribly sick right now (view spoiler)[(well actually no, kasi hyper pa rin ako) (hide spoiler)] (view spoiler)[(Patrick this is your fault (view spoiler)[Atty Monique would agree that it was because of fright (hide spoiler)]) (hide spoiler)] but WHATEVER sobrang worth it, kasi ang sarap ng sweets ng food ng company niyo hihi.

Looking forward to more trolling and geeking out sessions, because most of you made me sign those boxes in the human bingo, at tanggap ko na na yun yung role ko dito chos making more memories with you guys next year!
<-- though of course my greeting is a lot happier than Hermione looks
(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

And because I'm still walking on sunshine because of happiness, I'm going to vomit GIFs just for you guys to show the extent of my love chos :")

(view spoiler)[Not literally, though. Because I'm still sick. Pero once I'm well.. get ready (hide spoiler)]

[Aaron Vincent]

Hi everyone!

Thank you for participating in our -- modesty, aside -- very successful Christmas party. Glad everyone had a blast! Special thanks to Miss Ronnie for our venue, everyone who pledged for the food, and of course, my sister Tina for all the stressful planning she did for this! I'm just the wingman in all of this, all major credits goes to Tina. :)

Congratulations to our 2012 TFG Quiz Night Overall Champion Celina! Silent yet deadly, indeed. To Bennard too who had a good read -- pun kind of intended -- of everyone and won the Human Bingo game.

Thank you to those who left notes, bookmarks, tokens on my mailbag. Also to those who gave me books --Wishlist Stalkers Alert! :P

Merry Christmas!

Proven TFG members are slighty naughty but very nice,
Aaron

[Ingrid]

Alexa: I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A (view spoiler)[DEAN GIF (hide spoiler)] THERE SOMEWHERE, I JUST HAD TO FIND IT
ALL THE FEELS!
:>
:))

[Alexa]

Ingrid: Hindi pwedeng wala. (view spoiler)[Kailangang may homage to his eyes in every GIF message k, HAHA :)) (hide spoiler)]

Reev: And here I was hoping nobody saw the dancing much because of the dark. Oh well, shell :))

[Tina]

WAHAHA ALEXA I LOVE IT.

Okay, my turn! But first -- who wants chicken lollipop? Ang dami dami dami dami paaaaa!

First off: Congratulations, Kwesi! Your F2F may be the shortest, but it was the sweetest. :) Great job, Kwesilalu. :)

SO MANY, MANY, MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED.

Grabe, I mean, we've been planning for this party for months (with the first thread), and then we picked it up again after we weren't too busy anymore, and I really had no idea how we'd do it but all my worries proved to be just...well, worries and nothing else. :D Haha. Super thank you to everyone who attended, who walked blocks in the heat, who almost got lost, to those who have no sleep, skipped work or whatever just to be with us yesterday. :) I wasn't able to talk to everyone, but my heart was really bursting with joy every time I hear groups of people laugh or see people talk to each other and all that. I am even more convinced at how we've all become not just friends but family. :)

Totally honest moment? I wasn't really that stressed over the planning because there were so many people who were willing to help. So more thanks goes to:

Ronnie - for offering her cousin's place, for fixing the details about the food and making sure most of the logistics for the party are in place. :) I hardly had to worry about where to find things or who to call because Ronnie was on top of it. Thank you so much, and I hope your Tanduay Ice headache is gone! :)

To the other behind-the-scenes planning people: Monique, JL, Ranee, Aaron, Maria, Angus - thank you for your input and your generosity. :)

To Aaron and Angus, my co-game masters for the quiz night -- it was super fun planning it with you! It was almost like a walk down memory lane when we were digging our group's history for the questions, and it made me appreciate everything that happened in the past year even more. :)

To Monique again, for her help with the Christmas bags. :)

To Celina for being the most efficient accountant :)

To Tricia and Alexa for the human bingo game. Haha it was so much fun, aliw na aliw ako sa pagsign (autograph lang!) at sa pagpapanood sa mga tao na umikot. :)

To everyone who donated prizes for the raffle/book pile (you know who you are) -- thank you! It's never a TFG party without a book pile, so yay. :)

To JL, for always being ready to offer his green car and all his help. Official TFG car na yay! :D

And of course, to Aaron, my co-moderator based in Manila, and my wingman, sabi nga nya. :D Haha. Thanks so much, little brother, for always having my back. :)

Thank you to everyone too, who gave me books and the notes. I was really surprised at some of them (some lang, kasi yung iba expected ko na!), so thank you so much. :) I have no idea when I would read them all, but yay to a never-ending TBR!

So like I said in my short speech at the end of the party: it was a very, very good year for TFG. :) And I am really, really still standing by what I said during the anniversary and F2F7 that showing up at my first meet-up was the best decision I ever made in my entire life, and I have made some of the best friends I will ever have from this group. Thank you, thank you so much for everything, and I am very excited for the things in store for us next year. :) I love you guys! *wipes tears*

Have a very merry TFG Christmas, everyone! ♥ God bless you all. :)

HAHAHAHAHA!

[K.D.]

I love the messages here. Nice to have read those to start my week right. :)

[Bennard]

Congratulations to Kwesi for a successful F2F kahit di kami umabot(alam mo kung sino sisisihin).XD

Thank you for a very memorable event. For the candies, the company, and the books!

Thanks to those who prepared for the party. It was really awesome! I was unprepared and I wasn't really able to help pero bawi ako next time.:)

Also, I would really appreciate it if the ones present after the party would forget a particular thing that I said.:D

Just like Tina, attending my first F2F is the best decision I've made in my life.:)

I love you all!<3
