paintball & go kart

4/8

our bosses planned another one of a kind activity for the whole IT department. i was not able to join last year's due to my pregnancy. we were divided into 2 batches & i was enlisted for the 1st. i brought dad's red pickup to work & fetched some of my colleagues. the van/shuttle that was supposed to be our ride had unexpected priorities...so april, james, vince & obet joined me to the venue, which was favorable 'coz i needed guidance to get where we need to go anyway. it was located at roxas boulevard, right at the front of 'boom na boom'. we started off with the paintball game. i never really thought this game, when hit, would actually be very painful. the first 3 games was "capture the flag". so it was not really necessary to gun down everyone. as soon as a team touches the flag in the middle, the game's done. we won 3 times. several of my workmates got hit on places that were not padded. i was hit once at the leg, when i was about to exit (i've ran out of bullets). luckily, unlike everyone else, it did not leave a mark. we transferred to another court for a different game. they call it the 'last man standing' game. it horrified everyone since this time, you will definitely get gunned, until 1 person remains 'alive'. this was when i was hit at the left arm, at the padded portion, but that still extremely hurt.

finally.....it's over...

next we ate at the pier 1 which was a walking distance from the paintball court. in an hour we went to the karting area. before we got to the game, everyone warmed up. we were divided into 6 teams & competed for the best # of laps. it was soooo fun. my team lost though... *:(
