SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW EDITORS
Written by neilencio
Michaela – She’s a full time editor and will be available from Mondays to Fridays. Formerly from the Blue Team, Michaela has been around since the company first went public, and was part of the first batch of writers hired by Sir Paul.
Like 80% of the female writers at EPH, Michaela is a WAHM (Work At Home Man) and multitasks by editing articles while rearing her toddlers, so please don’t be so surprised if she sends you a revision request that instructs you to a.) fix your capitalization and b.) take that thing off your mouth because “it’s dirty.” Her hobbies are reading, watching comedy sitcoms, and drugs.
applepeddler – She’s a unique case, since she will be working as an editor only during weekends. She will be a blue team writer during weekdays. I am not at a liberty to say what prompted this odd schedule and system, primarily because I have no idea why. She just applied for the position and BAM! New editor! I was asleep the whole time.
applepeddler’s real name is Nica, but you can call her NiX if you are ridiculously lazy and want something even shorter. Also, X is meant to imply how hardcore she is when it comes to editing your articles. She is the Tony Hawk of extreme article reviewing and it’s par for the course for her to launch a kicker off your paragraphs and do an ollie over your prepositions while grinding the friggin’ railings off your subject-verb agreements only to finish it off with a semi-flip on top of your interjections. She is also into drugs.
Just like the rest of the purple team, you can PM them for AD clarifications, FA requests, slot cancellations and everything else that falls within an editor’s area of responsibility. Note that this means you should not PM them (or any editor for that matter) about salary/points concerns – all that an editor can do is forward your salary concerns to the Livechat staff, which accomplishes nothing but add an extra step and more wait time to the process, compared to just directly contacting the Livechat or the office (you can get the office landline from the EPH website’s contact page).
You’ve got to hand it to Neil Raymundo — the way he introduced the new writers. Iba na talaga pag inspired. I got to play musical chairs na with Michaela during he EPH Christmas party two years ago,and I kept bumping into her at the threads (esp.topics on pooches & home).Just recently saw Applepeddler’s avatar which says editor-trainee. Congrats to the 2 new editors!
you’ve got to hand it to sir neil – the way he introduced the new editors. iba na talaga pag happy and inspired. congrats to the 2 new editors.
“she’s also into drugs…”
ftw.
Welcome to our new editors who seem to be under the influence=)
Thank you, Sir Neil, for the colorful introduction! I thank you, bow!
Seriously, guys, thank you so much for the congratulatory remarks you posted on my EPH profile wall. I will try very hard not to disappoint the bosses and to help everyone improve their writing skills. Looking forward to sleep and sanity — I mean, to great editing days ahead. Happy to be of service.
And I am not a “Work At Home Man,” btw. I am not a man, period.
Congrats, michaela & applepeddler!
Thanks Sir Neil for introducing us as, errr…. junkies? *lol*
Hmm…seriously now, thank you for the warm reception both when I joined the pool of writers and when I became part of the staff. Everyone’s really nice; so much so that I already feel at home here in EPh after just a month. I won’t let you down guys!
Thanks to the people who went out of their way to greet me via my profile page. I really tried to visit your profiles and thank you individually, kaso may mga nalimutan yata ako. Sorry for that.
Sana di po kayo magsawa sa pag-spam ko sa Cafeteria. WAHM din ako e. Not “work at home man”, ha — “work at home MOM”.
Cheers!
Hello! Congratulations!
Congratulations to the new EPH editors! And hello to Michaela applepeddler!

Congrats to Ma’am Michaela and Nix!
If I’m not mistaken, It was Ma’am Nix who helped me out on the article where spinning was required. Hindi pa ata siya Editor nun, hehehe..
Cheers to both of them!
