new work
it's noon and i just had lunch. well, actually, half past noon and i'm all alone here working at the office. everyone's in antipolo for the stratplanmeet and i'll be following there by thursday. so there.
just have to tell everyone that i'm now working fulltime at isis international-manila. that's at http://www.isiswomen.org, a women's ngo focused on media advocacy. i'm handling the campaigns and media literacy ek of the org as well as handling the regular international newsletter publication of theirs. so that's cool. it's a nice office, women-only space, and i really like that very much. this means that it has a comfortable working environment, and of course, being all women, we tend to feel the moods of each other easier or quicker, because it also lessens the ek between the sexes thing rampant in offices, you know, especially corporate ones.
so there. i'm fairly happy here, been working part-time for more than a year here, and i'm glad they chose me to work here fulltime. yehei!
favorite accessory of the moment: this simple necklace thing with the small wooden chips colored like the rainbow. mari, my officemate, gave this to me. she got this from some latin american lesbianas at the world social forum in mumbai, india last month. when she told the latinam gal that she's giving it to a fellow les org-aniser, she got it for free (it was being sold pala). heheh cool. i likes very muchas.
so now i might not have more time writing stuff, personal creative stuff like i used to write before. i was able to submit some stuff to a lot of publications naman anyway so i'm alright with that already. next time na maybe, when i am used to the workload here already, puwede na ulit isingit.
same dilemma with some friends. like my vet friend, a very good writer-thinker, misses writing in her blog, and we miss reading it. a friend who works for a newspaper here says 'puro raket na lang ba tayo? paano na ang panitikan?' oh yeah, he's a filipino poet nga pala, heheh. hay, i sympathize. and also my other writer-friend now officemate,lamenting on the absence of fiction writing in her life now. i told her that's a pity because she writes good fiction pa naman, so maybe she'll be jolted by some MA CW courses in UP soon. and now, there's me, who might get stuck in blog writing these days. but at least it's still writing. and well, i'm fine with that for now.
okay back to work na nga.
