Many-flavored Me


Friendster Horoscope for July 28, 2007
Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)


Being pulled in too many directions? Today, pick one path and stick to it.

There is only one of you, and cloning is just not an option. So if you feel as though you're being pulled in too many directions right now, today is the day to pick one direction and stick to it. Sure, you might want to explore all the different paths that are open to you, but that's just not realistic. It would be a waste of your time, and it might not clarify a thing. In fact, entertaining too many options for too long could just end up confusing you all the more.


Oookay. I wonder, all of a sudden, if the guy (or girl) writing up the Friendster Horoscopes know me for real. Either that, or they're pretty lucky guessers.I've been torn the past few days since I got back with this whole writer-art director thing. The question was (once again -- the first was two weeks into my writing stint) dropped upon me by my boss just days before I left for the Cannes Young Creatives' Competition (during which, I was coincidentally, art director in function, and during which we also happened to do well).

It's always been that question at the back of my head. I am, after all, school-trained for art. But I've admittedly become attached to writing since I started doing it for a living.

So I said 'No' then.

It's been two years, since. Maybe this is the not-too-drastic way of getting over this 2-Years-Doing-This-Now-What Syndrome. I'm impatient in that way. I don't like being too comfortable doing what I do. I like challenges. I like new experiences. I like growing. I think it's this self-progression thing. Or maybe I just have a really short attention span. Anyway, the first plan was to go into grape growing and wine making. Hahaha. But that might be a tad too uncomfortable shift.

Turns out my supervisors and my parents think I could survive this. They even think I might do quite well with it. I had a list of why's and why not's, you see, but I think finding out that last bit clinched it. Because I'm a sucker for moral support.

So anyway, I said yes to the Art Director thing.

And after all that self-conjured drama, I got my promotion. It's an unusual one by agency standards, but with a couple beers, it WILL eventually make sense.

I hope. Hahaha.
