welga! welga!

while the Writers Guild of America is currently holding a strike, we, ebot and violet, have resigned to produce articles for the corporate magazine. We will not accept, or on an indefinite refusal to accept any favors or charity to scribble a write up for a momentuous event in the company. i have been out-of-focus to discover that our article has been edited entirely, as if it was written by someone else. i felt violated. it was as if i was robbed off a license to write a decent article. not that i am saying that ours was perfect, but the fact that it was changed and we weren't informed, and our names were still published as authors... i am enraged to have tagged of some article that we didn't even write. i was too ashamed to let the entire company, and i mean in all regions and territories, read something that was totally not ours.

i cannot imagine writing that kind of article. sorry and excuse my arrogance. but really... i cannot let something be published without having it proofread (at least for something that is going to be circulated in an organization where reputation matters:p and bosses, and big bosses are having a quick access to information from its employees). *sigh of disbelief.. of embarassment.. of sadness*

i am redeeming ourselves from this. not that i am bragging, but i just would like them to know that we did not write that article. i am not claiming ours is better, i am posting this to, at least, let others know what we have written. i believe this just deserves to be published.

for the summer sportsfest 2007:
From the first bullseye target, till the last move to checkmate, OOCL Summer Sportsfest 2007 has rummaged every inch of a muscle in all OOCL Employees.

Commenced last April 24, 2007 at the Garden Deck of DY International Building, the Sports Committee headed by Rheeo Gatchalian opened this year’s sportsfest with a feast. Yellow, Green, Pink and Purple, as fun and vibrant each represent, are the four teams for this year’s sportsfest. Having the entire event run for five weeks, with six games to vie for (darts, table tennis, badminton, billiards and chess), the event brought excitement and tension to each team day-by-day. As each week passed, teams’ standings were so close, giving all teams a strong chance for the first spot. Competing with each other neck to neck, every team screamed -- at the top of their lungs to break a leg! (more leaning to the idiom, though). Action packed as these weeks were, snapshots of the events still linger to these sports enthusiasts. Mouse set aside as dart invaders aim for the bullseye. Heads turned left and right with smash after smash as shuttlecocks came crossing courts faster than the speed of light. Spikers’ serve resounded an echo. With throbbing hearts, the receiver got ready for the attack as everyone waited for the kill. But as all games end, only one team emerged as champions. Garnering the highest points, taking away three games as first – hail to the Purple Team for being paramount to all the best and victorious of all winners.

Hit the Bullseye. Spin the ball. Smash the shuttle cock. Serve with a Spike. Break it. Until finally, one goes Checkmate! 2007 Sports Committee, congratulations for a job well done!
