Pen Pressure

I always wanted to be a bum when I was in high school. It’s not exactly the world’s greatest ambition but I didn’t really care. I’m not talking about your average bum either. I just wanted to be a gorgeous chick who doesn’t have to work hard for money. In other words, I’m probably just plain lazy *smirk*.

Anyway, no I didn’t became a bum. I took up Journalism in College for reasons that still confounded me up to this date. I guess it was really about the ego thing for me and not the will to dedicated my life in the pursuit of freedom of speech. The truth is, I didn’t really have much of a Journalism experience in High School except my doodles that have never failed to tickle my classmates. They told me I was good and boy did I believe them.

So I found myself applying in Journalism school. My interviewer asked me why did I decided to take up this particular course and my answer just screamed “stupid”. I told him I was told I’m a very good writer and would like to take it one step further by actually taking up formal training. The professor looked at me straight in the eye and said I should have taken Creative Writing. Boinks.


That made me very nervous but I was left with no other options but to push through. Luckily, I did because even if I will probably never be a full-fledged conventional media practitioner, I did learned a lot of within the confines of my classes. Yep. International Communication, New Media, Film Art, Advertising, Public Relations and Feature Writing made it worthwhile.

Where have all this taken me? I would love to say that I’m currently a talented writer plying her trade as a freelancer in the internet but that would only make me seem superficial. Yeah. I’m still a lazy girl trying to earn a living out of lazily writing some crap about losing weight through detox (read: colon cleansing). I have a fat ass and that makes me a total fraud too.

Go on and keep reading dearies. I’d be posting a few more stuff once in a while.Break time is over and it’s time for me to work.
