Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
The Elite
Hello and good day to all!
It has been 25 years since this magazine began. During its founding year, everything was raw and purely plain. Everything was made from scratch. From the production, features and printing, everything and everybody were on their toes.
All the founding members, from the CEO to COO down to the maintenance personnel, firmly believed that we can make it.
And indeed, we did.
Being the editor-in-chief for the past five years made me realize that it's fine to let ourselves be free. Yes, being in this industry can be quite sickening and stressful, yet, it all boils down to this.
Enjoy what you have.
Love what you do and do what you love.
Connection?
Starting up might implicate that everything has to be in order. That everything and every one has to be strict.
We forget how to have fun.
We forget how to enjoy life.
We almost forget how to love.
That's why I am saying this to you.
It's never to late to get out of your comfort zone for a moment.
You never know,
You are bound to meet your true love.

An Impromptu Interview
with the Copy Editor/ Proofreader
The Elite: Hey, Des, Leonard has been the quiet one ever since he stepped foot here in our company. What do you think of him?
Des: As if! Leonard always crosses me every time we are in a meeting.
The Elite: Is that a bad thing?
Des: It is for me. But on the contrary, at the end of the day, he has a point. His ideas benefit our company and his arguments made me realize that my confidence to air out my opinions boosted for quite some time. He had somehow challenged me.
The Elite: Do you think that the two of you will make a great team?
Des: Maybe. I guess so?
The Elite: How about as a couple?
Des: Seriously? Are you asking me that for real?
The Elite: Why not? He is single and you are too!
Des: Duh! The guy isn't even asking for it!
The Elite: Whoa! You mean, if he did, you would consider dating him?
Des: Huh? Ye- I mean, what are you saying?
The Elite: Come on! Honest question, if he asks, would you consider?
Des: I don't know. Yes? I guess?

An Impromptu Interview
with the Web Designer
The Elite: I feel so stressed! What if I tell you a name and you tell me what you think about it?
Nard: Okay. Shoot.
The Elite: Lui.
Nard: She's funny.
The Elite: Miss Serena.
Nard: She's smart.
The Elite: Rem.
Nard: He's cool.
The Elite: Elle.
Nard: She's kind.
The Elite: Des.
Nard: Eccentric.
The Elite: Why eccentric for Des?
Nard: Her mere presence shakes my system. She contests my opinions every meeting.
She insists on it and somehow, I found her cute even if she's fuming mad inside.
The Elite: Whoa! That is quite unexpected to hear from you!
Let me ask, is that a bad thing?
Nard (shaking his head): I don't think so. She's just the way she is.
Simple and funky yet really intelligent. She's got some pretty sensible suggestions as well.
The Elite: If given the chance, will you consider dating her?
Nard (smiles): Yeah. Its good. I like her, anyways.
The Elite: Really? Then why not make your move?
Nard (scratching his head): I'll get there soon. I'm just not ready yet.
The Elite: What if she's just waiting for you? What if somebody tries to steal her away? You still won't make your move?
Nard: Fine! I'll ask her out this week!

The Elite: Even your hatred for each other is mutual! Haha! This is interesting! You guys sure, you don't feel your chemistry?
Rem: Your point is?
The Elite: Point here is, it's pretty obvious that you guys are attracted with each other! And it shows! Look at yourselves! Who told you to sit beside each other?
The Elite: See? No matchmaking skills applied here! If I were you, dude, I'll ask her out before somebody does.
Rem: Don't you dare do it.
The Elite: I won't. But somebody from other department will.
Rem to Lui: Let's date. You're mine starting today.
☕☕☕
And, there you have it everyone!
Two pairs of archenemies who never knew they will fall for each other!
Yes, office romances are usually frowned on.
But not on my watch!
As long as these people know and practice professionalism within these walls, go and be happy.
So, if I were you, I'll take a second look at my companion right now.
Is he or she just a friend?
Or an enemy who pisses you off?
Or you failed to see what you really feel?
Happy Valentine's Day, all!
I'm just on my coffee break so I better get back to work!
Until the next issue!
