What Could Happen After 2 Years?

I was seriously searching for that 'one picture' I was told, described as "must-see" by an officemate in our computer. As I opened the last folder, I could almost sense failure. However, in my search, I was able to find these two interesting vintage pictures. Backward in time, this was in 2009, in a street party during the Masskara Festival. I was a little dismayed to see our background that wrote, POST NO BILL in a seemingly abandoned fence. But none of us seemed bothered which part are we in the long stretch of Lacson Street. What's important is that we were happy drinking the best beer in the world - the product of our hard labor and complex chemistry called brewing. "Itaas Mo." Drinking til the last drop. Making everday life a celebration. The street party every year meant brushing and rubbing elbows with strangers so that space where we were was good enough - that is, we moved freely without any threat to our possesions and lives, there was better order of things, and of course, we did not gasp for oxygen. This is one of the rare moments when QA and Brewing are grouped together outside work. The two departments are close to each other, both literally and figuratively. In fact, due to their closeness, their relationships could also go 'brewing'. Now, that's strictly rhetorical language. Forward in time, June 2011, that's more or less, two years after, a lot of changes already happened. In the topmost picture, Mr Dennis of Brewing already retired. He was one of our temp men. Mr Ciocs already transferred office. From being the QA's technical secretary, he is now the Plant Manger's Secretary. Ivan also transferred to the Eng'g Dept. Julienne is now connected with Coke Davao. And of course Ms. Adee is now Mrs. Loquellano with baby Miggo. These were the myriad of things that happened two years after that picture was taken. And two years from now...
