  1. the best part is that i control my own time, have a modest expense account and my friends get to see me occasionally on tv, mostly in some sports event that no one except my friends actually watches. :lol:

     

    the worst part is i have to work like a mule and getting that promotion is nowhere in sight. ni hint man lang, wala e. booo!

     

    pero in my whole time working, there's nothing like having control of your own time. the possibilities are endless

  2. I spent a virtual lifetime in advertising before I switched to media a couple of years ago.

     

    The main thing that will keep you out of the industry is lack of experience, or so the HR people will claim.

     

    But if you think you've got what it takes to move those products off the shelves, a lack of experience, the proper college background or whatever shouldn't hold you back.

     

    Here's what I did eons ago to get in: call up any and all ad agencies that you can. Ask them for whatever openings are there. Then go visit them, drop off your resume, talk to whoever will listen, and, by dang, sell yourself, dude. It's a world run by good ideas, so if you're ideas are top-notch, you have a shot.

     

    Oh yeah, it also helps if you have a few ready storyboards, radio scripts or print ad layouts on hand (even if you wanna be in Accounts, not Creative). Just make sure that they are professionally made and, hopefully, impressive.

     

    I called up 22 agencies, got called in by 8, interviewed by 3 and hired by 1 when I started out. But don't despair. Once you get in, you can easily move from one agency to another, coz that's the nature of the industry. The main thing is breaking in.

     

    So heads up. Take a deep breath. And charge!!

     

    Good luck, buddy.

  3. hey ironflower sure has lots of passions. you gotta admire a gal who knows what she wants :)

     

    ako? drinking. betting on the nba. driving fast. drinking. playing billiards, laughing at other people's frailties. playing basketball. hanging out. oh, did i mention drinking?

     

    :mtc:

  4. When I'm stressed out, isa lang lagi ang surefire solution. I take a long warm, bath.

     

    I can feel the stress being washed away, specially when I hold my head beneath the shower, close my eyes and just let the warm water soak my hair.

     

    After a few minutes, I just lie in the tub. It's so relaxing. I listen to music. Sip some cognac when my mom's not in the house. Sometimes I light a joint, kung meron. Gotta get a buzz going, di ba.

     

    After 30 minutes of this, I'm good to go. Bihis na, magkita sa tropa tapos, party!
