sleepless and listless


wow! what the hell happened to the last three weeks!?

i've not had a weekend of rest since the 2nd week of january. after the mag, a barrage of coverage! am not complaining... in fact, it's welcome respite from nothing but work. it is work, but of a different kind.

one thing that never fails to surprise me is that work is never predictable. last week, i was assigned to cover the judging of entries to the 3rd student ad congress. i got to the venue (unitel) half an hour late - i resolved to take a cab no matter how long it took - because i am a hapless commuter. at the event, i am immediately informed that the judging has not started. that makes me 'not late'? NO! i was late! definitely LATE!

anyway, after i was served coffee from sponsor mocha blends, i was informed that i was a judge. despite informing them that i was not an advertising creative, i became a judge. i was relieved to discover that my reviews were not that different from the experts and practitioners. hhhmmmmm, i surprise even myself!

what a week! i have a centerfold shoot to plan and no expense account to do it with. such is philippine publishing.
