Fly or Die?

fly or die

Tuesday, July 27, 2004
The fattened calf "I'm on a diet," I said to Matt. "Why?" he asked, pushing the slice of cheese cake towards me, "Eat." Not that I'm obese but I've put on 2 kgs over the last 2 months. And I blame him. All Matt Metabolism wants to do is eat. He is hungry all the time, eats all the time. He gobbles and the fats magically transmigrates to me. Atkins should get a load of this. "You look better with a little weight," he continued, "You're practically wasting away." "This," I said, pinching the tube of lard round my waist, "is not looking better." "Hmm," with his brows knitted in deep concentration, he adds thoughtfully, "your boobs are though." I bop him on the head and crinkles my nose in mock displeasure. "Aww, come on, don't be sad. Here, have some cake," he laughs. I suspect all this force-feeding is his evil bid to fatten me into a C cup. Before I'm lead to the slaughter. So I'll head for the gym tomorrow. And Die-t another day. Pencil chewed at 7:07:00 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.
