I guess this was the last decent Christmas party that I've attended during my internship in 2018. I was on duty at the Department of Ophthalmology and all interns from all departments were called to join in and have dinner. The resident doctors and nurses who were not on duty were in charge of the preparations and programs. Those who were on duty have attended through decking and after having their dinner and pictorials they needed to go back to their respective duty post and resumed their work. It was just simple, no exchange of gifts nor gift givings but for those who have been working so hard, it was already a leisure they wouldn't want to miss especially the sumptuous foods. In 2019, when I was working in the call center, we didn't either had an actual Christmas party. I and my co-agents with our TL or team leader just had our dinner at KFC! We couldn't afford a party because our department was so busy receiving loads of calls during the holiday! The gift-giving and a potluck of foods were done during the new year celebration on the canteen. No programs nor singing were done whatsoever, and our dinner was in a rush because we have to return to our post and receive calls. People were too busy for a celebration unaware that a pandemic would soon arrive which could rob people of their freedom of socializing and gatherings. Now looking back, people realized those wonderful times they had taken for granted. Perhaps people now promise that after the pandemic, they would just take time slowly and would give importance to holidays and celebrate them joyfully with co-workers, friends, and families! 🎄Merry Christmas everyone!🎄 Wishing you all a joyful celebration...🎆 Moreover to those who are affected by calamities especially to our typhoon-stricken countrymen in the Visayas and Mindanao, praying that you may receive full support and help from the government!🎁 We are one with you in these trying times.... God bless you all!🙏 #doctordiaries @Mitochondria 💯Originalcontent creator Marikina, Philippines🇵🇭
