The Greatest Team Building I Ever Had!


There are so many things that we tend to take for granted when life get's too busy. Sometimes, these small things are really the stuff that gets you through the day. In my case, writing. I have neglected so many things lately because I have been really busy at work recently.


Speaking of work, I and my team went out for a long overdue team outing / building / getting to know each other. We have been planning this for the longest time and they have been bugging me endless for it.

JUNE 16

Last month, my steallar Escalations Team went on a team outing and an adventure of a lifetime for some. Wherelse would we have it but in Dumaguete. You know how much I love that quaint city. There was not really much to tell but the fact that I almost died of drowning. Well, not just me though, my agent Paula, she actually cried and her whole life flashed before her eyes. That was weird.




What happened was that we went snorkeling to this marine sanctuary in Apo Island. It was the best underwater activity I have done in my while life. We were so engrossed with the explosion of colors that we never felt that the tides were rising and that the waves are getting bigger. Until finally, the curretn was so strong that we cannot swim back to the shore.

We actually were rescued by my agents that can swim. I was escorted by 3 people and they helped me swim back to the shore. It was a long, scary yet funny story. In the hindsight, it was just not a team outing, but I saw the character of the people that I am handling. I don't wanna be mushy and all emotional about it but I know for a fact that I am thankful for my agents because I do not know how I would explain if someone would die under my supervision. Ha!
