Stung

16 05 2008

It’s hard to accept that after all the things you do, all the sacrifices and all the hopes you have, in the end still the one thing you wanted to have can’t be yours…

I cried (again) and felt how Betty feels (episode 16, season 2)… this hopeless romantic lady got carried away again.

(Scene/Photo above) Betty tried to smile for Henry but I can relate that it’s hard to maintain that smile and pretend you’re okay when you know you are hurting inside

Sigh.

There are things we really know, the truth that we ignore. Denial. Because it’s easier to dream and aspire because of the hopes of happiness, of the happy ending just like in the fairy tales or in romantic movies. It was ideal.

But in actuality, you won’t get what that very least you wanted. I wouldn’t get what I was hoping for…

Reality does bite.





Capturing Attention… Would you dare?

My work goes beyond branding and designing. It goes to idead of below the line selling of what we’ve branded, hence thinking and understanding the targets of the brands. It’s living a not-so-normal life I guess. And if at this very moment I’ll be asked to describe my life in one word I’d say: abnormal.

This entry I say has more than just that reason mention above. Nor am I just to sell the innovation and idea of the photo posted above. (Oh, by the way, it’s a gum and it has other variants). Among all it’s “brothers and cousins”, I’d prefer to post that one.

Above is the other side/facing of the box of gum.

I just love being different. I am questioned. I do ask too. But as far as I know, I know what I’m suppose to do and I don’t (and won’t) pull anyone down. But don’t mess with me.

I am trusted and valued. Loved and cared for. I may not have millions (not even thousands). But again, I know what I am supposed to do and I am living and dealing with it.

Learn.

Improvise.

Deal with it.

Call me Wondergirl (if you must)… Don’t test me.
