The last time I conducted a team building was last May. Unlike before where I would be OC preparing for our TB, I didn’t plan this team building that much that’s why we ended up with Enchanted Kingdom. I didn’t have the luxury of time to plan for that activity since our program was just new and there were lots of things to do and learn. Our master plan was to play paintball at around 6pm because sun is already down by that time. Unfortunately, one of our team members suffered from nose bleeding so our plan of having paintball was scrapped. We just enjoyed ourselves with all the rides in EK. One of the episodes of the latest season of CSI NY was something about a buy bust operation in an abandoned warehouse where one of the victims was wearing a paintball gear. The warehouse was quite a good scenario paintball since there were lots of obstacles to hide. Based from the gear that the victim was wearing, Mac Taylor (played by Gary Sinise) concluded that he was a professional paintball player. I didn’t know that there are professional paintball players because I am used to the fact that paintball is just for recreation. Erika and I are planning to have a campaign wide paintball competition. When we told other team leaders about this plan, they all got excited. We badly need this kind of activity especially now that work is becoming more and more stressful. This is one great stress reliever. This activity will certainly rejuvenate our energy and enthusiasm. We are eyeing one paintball location in Antipolo. Though we are still in the process of evaluating the logistics and expenses, the idea of buying my paintball gear really ignites my bones. Apart from my frustration of being a lawyer, I have always wanted to be a part of the law enforcement. I am really fascinated with guns and war stories. But as I browse paintball online stores, seeing the price of one paintball gear set was like killing me with a .45 caliber gun. LOL Boy, they are really expensive! When I came across http://www.pntball.com/, I saw there that they offer a gear set for only $179.95 with free shipping. Well, it used to be $299.95 but it’s now on SALE. If only Russell is into this kind of activity, I would have probably bought this one. But anyway, I just hope that the paintball tournament within our campaign will materialize. I’m sure that everybody will have fun with this activity.
