The Set-Up:
EA was sent to Elizabeth Seton to check up on our new CHUCKIE ROADSTER location. Then he was sent to Bespwen's office to deliver my Christmas gift to her, a car plate number cover. Then supposedly, he is to get two (2) CDs from a Goodyear client at Parque Espana, the site of our grand surprise.
The Accomplices:
Bespwen -- Asked her to let EA wait at their lobby up until I tell her that everything was set. She had to leave early though. So we asked EA to proceed to Festival Mall instead to canvass on the prices of children's white rubber slippers that we will be using for our Cupid On The Run PLDT Event. He readily followed my orders.
Parque Front Desk Officer -- We told her that when EA gets in, she is to say that it's Abbie Real (Abbie is my barkada from college) who owns Unit 601, the room where we all were.
Ralph -- He is from the Housekeeping Department of Parque. We told him that once EA gets there, he is to be instructed to stay at the sofa to wait for 'Abbie Real', the girl who has the two CDs. Unfortunately, because of the 'suspicious' set-up, EA didn't want to stay at the sofa. He went back to the lobby so our 'strippers' weren't able to immediately perform their special number.
The Highlights:
Finally called EA to tell him to go to the hotel unit once again. Made up a story that Abbie was in her bedroom when he got in. As soon as he opened the door, one of our strippers pulled him inside the room and they all did their fancy number.
We all came out from the kitchen and the bedroom, complete with our party poppers. EA was shocked to see everyone and was truly touched with the gesture.
He loved his iPOD cake from Art Cakes, his new MP3 player, and most of all, the 'strippers'! A special thanks to the three boys who really made EA's day. We also invited EA's good friend Geoff. The food was yummy and the kwentuhan was priceless!
EA has been so hardworking and dependable and I am happy to have him on my team. And this birthday surprise was our way to thank him for his kindness and loyalty and the non-stop laughter he brings to the agency. We love you, Jang! Stay the same.
