Bon Appetit!

If there's one thing aside from laughing at ourselves (and our troubles) that would be our trademark as being Filipino, it would be eating. We celebrate each happy occasion with food, just as we also punctuate sad moments with eating. There's a sense of camaraderie and oneness with everyone present whenever you share a meal. So, whenever friends and family come together, no doubt, the Pinoy table would be groaning heavy with all our favorite dishes!

Well, the Ingen-eers, as Filipino as one can be, also love their noms. Birthdays, parties, outings, and even random get togethers, the team always celebrates with food.

These two pictures were taken last week.

It was a 2-day fest of lunch- and dinner-outs because we were celebrating various small victories. Lunch on Wednesday was at Primo Grill & Cafe, a restaurant that serves grilled meats and other American-ish dishes. Then on Friday of the same week, dinner was at Italianni's AND TGIFriday's.

The guys had a wonderful time stuffing their faces and sharing fun highlights of their week.
Look at everybody ignoring the camera while they chow away.

It's always good to spend time with teammates outside of the four walls of the office to let out a little steam and to forge deeper friendships among each other. And doing all of that with food only makes it a happier occasion.

Noshing seriously makes us so happy that we've decided to do it as often as we could like every month we'd dine out as a team and stuff. This is because we believe in the great saying that goes, “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” ―ain't nobody gonna argue with that, George Bernard Shaw. :)
