We just finished publishing our tabloid for this year (finally!). And as any tabloid, any project that involves numerous texts, any idea or executed thought; we had flaws. A little typo on this page, some grammars don't on this. Some major and some passable.
And of course our own critics are ourselves. What figures.
We have that student sickness that every after exam, we check our notes if our answers were right or not. We sigh at our mistakes and jeer that we had made the risk and pulled it of great. We want to get those tabloids and just start all over again. Too many mistakes on these and that. I think we need correction markers and a lot of them.
For me committing mistakes like these are just part of our learning process. This does not mean however that we should use this as an excuse in doing what is less of our capacity. As former (and hopefully future) Graciano Lopez-Jaena Awardees for Best Departmental Publication, we should give out our best, bring our best foot (if there is any) forward and bring down the house with the best that we can do. This incapacity to sometimes not see eroors should be used to the fullest extent in making and producing quality materials that the clientele is asking for.
However, it is true that we sometimes just say things and not mean it at all. I hope that we could 'execute' the next ones properly. No, we SHOULD execute it properly.
Lesson learned. Pramis, next time it will be sweeter. Mamatay man si Batman.
