Fly or Die?

fly or die

The force is with me "Even if she wants to play politics, it's such a dumb ass move," I said to Tomas, as I tagged along his cigi-moment at the emergency stairway. I had regaled Tomas on all that had transpired between Jenna and I. He inhaled his Marlboros and peered at me, quietly, through his squinty eyes. I tried not to breathe, in a bid to escape second hand smoke. "I don't mean to sound like some arrogant prick but hey, she probably needs to ride on my ideas more than I need hers. True or not?" I said. "Well, some people have other means to ride to the top," he said. I made a life-is-unfair face. He continued smoking. I mulled. "So," I finally asked, "should I ask Big Billy to change partners? I soooo want Heng back." "Not wise, my young padwan," he whispered, as smoke curled around his face. "But I really can't stand working with her," I defended. "Rise, you must, above the mire." "Aiyo, save your Yoda-isms," I jabbed him. With his big ears and close cropped hair, he did look like an overgrown Yoda. He chuckled and ruffled my hair playfully, as usual. "Don't play her game. Just do your work," he said and I hope my friend is really as wise as he looks. Pencil chewed at 4:17:00 pm //

people mentioned in this blog

I realised that it is increasingly difficult for you to identify who's who in this blog. So here's a rundown. Will try to categorise entries to names but that will take some time, cause I still haven't figured out how to do it.
In the agency
Big Billy - Boss, my Creative Director
Donna - beautiful bimbo Account Executive
Heng - the art director I used to work with
Hoe, Mr - my favourite client
Jenna - the art director I'm working with now
Susan - street smart Group Account Director
Tina - my Traffic Manager
Tomas - fellow copywriter, confidante

Beyond the agency
June & Mila - my best gal pals
Matt - the guy dating me
Minnie & Moe - my guppies
Trish - the friend who set me up with Matt

*all names have been changed.

my zany portfolio

I'll paste work here periodically. But none of them will be real client work - just my own initiates and doodling.

awesome ad of the week

G-Day Coffee TVC. Scene opens on guy trying to slide down a dry water slide. He gets stuck. He finally manages to squeak all the way down. TVC ends with him savouring a mug of G-Day coffee and the tag "Save water for G-Day coffee". A bit unreal but I love the humour. And the talent, the Each Other actor (I forgot his name), is super. He makes it work.
