Honesty is never an easy thing, especially when you have to apply it to yourself brutally. But what I've learned lately is that once you're able to do that, you'll see things in a totally different perspective and that things will have a way of working itself out.
The reason I moved out from
IndoPacific Edelman to
Maverick was to see whether I could refresh my interest in the industry. For the past few months I have come to realize that public relations consultancy is really not my thing. I could not picture myself doing this kind of job for the next one or two years.
Don't get me wrong. I loved 'meeting new people' (now an overused phrase like a 100-year old slut thanks to hordes of models, actresses and pageant queens reciting "I want to work as a PR person coz I luuuuuuuuvveeed meeting new people. Fuck them you would I guess), traveling to faraway places, and writing. I get this from working as a PR consultant. But I can also get this somewhere else for sure.
I would like to spend more time and concentrate on
irisPUSTAKA that me and some of my friends have established since last year. This could not be done as a side job. It needs my full attention.
Which leads to the decision of resigning from the Associate position in Maverick, effective May 1, 2008.
I was actually planning to take a month or two before hunting for fresh grounds, but hey,
Ong offered me a job as an Editor. A great package and suitable working hours (Mon-Fri, 6.30 - 10.30 AM), is all that I need to say yes. I will begin my editing days on June 1, 2008. That means a whole month of freedom.
I may have sucked at client servicing and consultancy, but I'm fucking good when it comes to writing and editing.
I'm broke, but I'm happy.
Another step forward to my
vagabonding days.
serius?
