Jack-of-all-trades!

I feel very, very, very busy lately. Two weeks ago I had a week of almost everyday OT at work and being awake until 2:00 am and still had to go to work at 10am the next day. Quite tiring. And one incident I was awake 25 hours without sleep or rest, just facing the computer and doing advertising campaign artworks. I almost fainted because of that no sleep and no rest OT. Really stressful! The next week I was bombarded and harassed by two television networks–QTV11 and ABS-CBN 2. Not much pressure on QTV11 because even though it was short notice telling me that they wanted to feature me on their program, everything went well. They were on time, efficient, organized, humble and fun to be with. It was a fun taping day with the ART ANGEL host Tonypet Gaba who is also the correspondent of THE BEAT. After the airing of THE BEAT on QTV 11, came ABS-CBN 2. Staff of Rated K was calling and texting me, telling me that they also want to feature me for their BLACK & WHITE segment. It was short notice again. I was informed Tuesday and we had our shoot Wednesday and Thursday. I was pressured and harassed with the turn of events. Despite the tremendous number of delays, it all paid off when the host of Rated K: Korina Sanchez arrived at my place and interviewed me. And I must say that my Rated K TV appearance was the most beautiful and well crafted. In all fairness. My hectic sked didn't end there. I also have this project with CARNATION milk, an account supervisor from TBWA asked me to do the 10 recipes for Carnation condensed and evaporated milk . It was again a short notice. Then again, my being super woman made me deliver all the food I cooked and the recipes I concocted on time. Oooppsss! You think that's it? Well it's a NO. With all these happening in the past two weeks, there is also a project I was asked to do by no other than DepED secretary Jesli Lapus. He asked me to design for a banner-billboard to be posted in all private and public schools in the entire archipelago. This is in line with their campaign to promote education with the help of Sam Concepcion as their spokesperson. DepED secretary Jesli Lapus said that there are tons of dropouts students in the entire Philippines that's why they are doing this campaign.

So what this visual above has to do with all the stories I mentioned? Well I remember three years ago was the last time I became super harassed and stressed with work and other activities like sideline. And this poster is one sideline that I did for Global Wireless Connection & SM, me being the ART Director and the TALENT at the same time!

It's good to know that I can do a lot of things in a short span of time. I remember 14 years ago I said: it's good to be a JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES!
