Tomas time
"What was that all about?" I pulled Tomas aside and stared at him eyeball to eyeball. "What?" he said, looking away. "Where did you two lovebirds meet? Tell me, tell me," I imitated him. He sniggered. "I don't get it. Why were you so hostile? Weren't you rah-rah-rah, cheering him on?" He shrugged. "Tomas!" I said, a little infuriated. "Don't like him." "Now you tell me," I threw my arms in the air in the most drama queen possible manner, "And what is it that you don't like?" "Just." "Okay, forget it. Forget that I even asked," I wanted to walk away. "Hey, hey..." he said, grabbed my arm and made me sit down. "Now what?" "I have 3 younger sisters. Whenever they bring their boyfriends home, I feel ... protective." "Hmmm..." I mused. Part relieved, part moved. "I don't trust him." "But you hardly know him." "Gut." "Give him the benefit of the doubt, will ya?" "Maybe, it's nothing. Just an overbearing Big Brother Syndrome," he smiled and lit his cigarette. I hugged him. Strange, that this cold, cynical chain smoker would care for me. | |

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. |

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. |
