Rocky's Raam, Magsaysay Avenue

Rocky's Raam

Work Hard, Party Hard

We hosted a pre- Christmas Dinner

for our employees  and household staff

at the newly opened  Rocky's Raam.

 Located at the Kakanan ni Isko’s

Lifestyle Center, at the Magsaysay Strip- 

... the place was teeming with people.

The first floor is occupied by several

dining and wining establishments and

share a common dining area at the courtyard.

It is a food court type of 'gimik' place

where the food and the  drinks 

are cheap and affordable,





....but the ambiance 

is hip and cool.

Rocky 's Raam is located at the second level

and has an al fresco dining area,

...and an indoor  music bar

with live rock band playing.

We had the place
 reserved exclusively.

Our usual guests were again our

employees ranging from medical technologists, 
radiology technologists, clinic assistants
our driver, gardeners and household helps

and some of  their relatives...

 

...who had been with us for a long time

and amazingly stood with us
and not sought for greener pastures

from other employers despite
the growing opportunities in the city

The group loosened up early

and partied hard even before dinner.

The food was superb,

...and the drinks are affordable

that we declared an open bar

so they could drink to their heart content,











...while the magnificent band
rocked the night away,

...that even Totoy, our driver,



and Cherrie, my clinic assistant
came rocking with them.

An all out affordable party-







...is possible at hip and rocking

Rocky 's Raam.

La Piazza, Avenue Plaza Hotel

La Piazza, Avenue Plaza Hotel

Work Hard, Relax and Have a Party

 La Piazza is one of  the Avenue Plaza Hotel’s 
posh and beautiful  function rooms.

.

We booked La Piazza for a  dinner party

and we had three sets of guests in our list

First, were our employees

composed mostly of medical professionals

Medical Technologists, Radiology Technologists

and clinic assistants and secretaries,

Second group were people 

that acted as a support system

for our young and growing family ,

...made of the children’s private tutors, 

previous pre- school teachers, and mentors

before we decided to have them home schooled…

We were particularly worried 

for our third group of guests

as they may get intimidated by the

somewhat upscale ambiance of the venue…

It is made up of our household staff,

from our driver,  the  people that clean our house,

do our laundry, and tidy up our garden.



Standing is our senior Med Tech who has been with us since 1996

Standing is our most junior Med Tech who joined us when we opend the SM branch

....most of our employees and domestic helpers

had been  with us for more than 10 years

and never left us to seek other employment.

  
...despite the increasing demand 
and opportunities in the city.

But the La Piazza staff 

knows exactly what to do…

...the service was superb

and felt everyone at ease...

...the food selection was simple

but delicious and filling,

The band played from mellow

to light rock music,

...the ambiance was relaxing,









...the place was quite formal
but after dinner everyone
started to loosen up,

And everybody

seemed to have a good time.

Even  my clinic secretary and 
one of our medical technologist
jammed with the band...

Avenue Plaza is an ideal place

to have fun but relaxing  party
