boycott, museum and ice rink (1)

wazzup friendsters! havent updated since italy won the world cup. hehehe. too lazy :-) one week. hmmm what happened. okay here it goes…

July 4-5, tues-wed. US Independence Day and Phil-Am Friendship Day. but for us, it was the Skycom Independence Day and Phil-India Friendship Day. filipinos and indians unite, first time in skycom history. wanna know why? there were a lot of issues in our office for the past few months. everyone was silent. no one complained about anything. but last week, the mgt made a wrong move. it triggered everybody to voice out their concerns, issues, problems, etc, and demanded the mgt to do something about it. when they refused to talk to us, we did what was best for all of us. wont elaborate any further, sorry guys. hehehe. but here are the pics.

July 4 —–
