hello from copenhagen!
Whee! I love airports and free Internet! :) *laughs* After 2 weeks of no computers and no cellphones (for me at least, since I wasn't able to activate my roaming), I finally have contact with the outside world!
We just finished our ten-day cruise to Scandinavia and Russia! It was great, you can't expect anything less from Europe after all. Still, I think this tour has shown me that not all Americans are the bubbly friendly types who talk to you out of the blue. There are also impatient ones who are so ready to give everyone a piece of their minds at the slightest of inconveniences, and yet expect eternal forgiveness when they are the ones at fault. All I can say for that old man who couldn't keep his mouth shut is, "Buti nga, nakarma!" *laughs*
Anyway, one more thing, SAYANG! Imagine my shock when I saw Aunt Trini on the Star Princess! Turns out, Tersh and I should have been on the same cruise, had she been able to either a) obtain a leave from her OJT or b) start early and end her OJT early. Shucks! So, we ended up hanging out with her two youngers brothers, Tim and Elroy, instead. Tim even taught us how to play Yahtzee! It was so funny how the tension would fill the air once someone threw the 5 die into the box. What else did we do while on the ship? Pingpong. Paddle Tennis (A cross between Pingpong and Lawn Tennis). Bingo. Tong-its. And lots of other stuff, including a LOT of eating!
So, now my family's off to Ithaca, New York to check out Cornell University's campus. Shoti's gonna be studying there this fall, so it's pretty exciting for the rest of the family to see where we'll be sending him off to. :p It should be real pretty there since it's not a city campus, so there'll be a lot of trees and falling leaves, and cool breezes! *laughs* Labo.
Anyway, I better go now, we'll be boarding within a half hour. We still have to haul our asses to the gate, which could be on the other end of the terminal, I'm not too sure. So, I must leave you now! Till I meet a computer (with free Internet) again! :p

almost 3 months!
It's been quite a while since I last blogged! And it was funny when I went to see (because I'd already forgotten!) what my blog looked like, I saw a message from Cel that said "Update!" *laughs* I don't even know how long that message's been there! So anyway, since I have nothing better to do right now anyway, I thought I'd write!
I'm actually at "work" right now, but since it's only 9:05 according to the clock of the eMac I'm using here, not everyone has come in yet. So far, in the one week and one day I've been here at this ad agency, I've helped co-write a radio ad, and made studies for 3 billboards, participated in brainstorming sessions, witnessed a recording for a radio ad, and met Sam Milby who was here to record something for his ads! *laughs* He was a cutie! I don't like him much on TV, but he looked cuter somewhat in person. He seemed a bit shy, like he was still unsure of himself, and he didn't know exactly just how famous he's gotten, which I guess is a good thing! It keeps his feet on the ground. My sister scrambled to get to Makati from home just so she could get a picture with him! It was so funny, but syempre kasama na rin ako sa picture diba? *laughs*
Achi, Sam Milby and me!
Anyway, I like my work here, even if I don't seem to be of any worth to them! I mean, I don't think I have the creative juices necessary to survive in such a competitive business! Or perhaps I just need to get used to thinking fast, and being brave enough to throw out your ideas for everyone to criticize and evaluate. At least, there's something that has come out of this! :) My sister says I've become more talkative, or at least, more outgoing somewhat. That I'm no longer hesitant to talk to people I don't really know. But I got to thinking, was it really caused by my job or something else? A change in perception perhaps? (As Fr. Candelaria would put it?) I don't really know. *smiles and shrugs shoulders* But if this is a good thing, (and everyone seems to think so,) then I'll roll with it!
It's 9:24 and still, Nina and I are the only ones here in our nook of the creatives department. Oh well, the others should come soon, I hope. I desperately need someone to have me do something! And that's something besides thinking! I don't think I'm very good at coming up with fresh concepts for ads! *laughs* I think it's time I began scrounging around for work that's more up my alley... like the billboards. Hand me the idea, I'll just put it into pictures!

waiting.
While I'm waiting for some files to attach onto an e-mail, I decided to resurrect my one-month-dead blog. I really do need to start writing again, even rambling about the useless stuff seems to help you slow down and take a good look at your life.
Right now, I've realized how much I hate being delayed. NOW Cable is currently getting on my nerves. I was late for class today because my homework wouldn't attach to the e-mail I was sending my Fine Arts teacher. And now this. If that weren't enough, my Powerbook keeps hanging! And to think it's an Apple computer... something that supposedly doesn't crash or hang, or at least keeps those kinds of incidents to a minimum. Tsk tsk. I am sooo ready to have the people at Apple Center change it and give me a new one that's not so bothersome. To think I already had it fixed because of a Kernel Panic the other week.
A-ha! The files have finally attached!
Off to more pressing matters. I haven't studied for my OR test yet.
