reality bites!
phew! i can finally breathe a little easier after almost three gruelling weeks of writing speeches after speeches and talking points after talking points. writing speeches for so many bosses from the ministers to the directors were really draining. not to mention the press releases. in the end, they just squeezed me dry, in term of ideas that is.
i thought i knew what i was getting myself into when i took this job but hell man, it could be really difficult sometimes. there were times that i had felt like quitting and escaped the brutal abuse of ideas in my head. but that was the pisces in me talking because i know i was stronger than that. i was just grateful that the portion of works were distributed evenly among us. i wish i was like the muse who has never run out of ideas as if there was a magic well inside her head supplying her with endless ideas and beautiful metaphors.
i found myself suddenly very exhausted. i need a break since i've been working for seven days a week over the last two weeks. i can feel myself slipping. sheesh! i need to reacquaint myself with the ocean, to breath the salty air of the secret island, to walk barefoot on the beach and watching my footprints washed away by the endless waves and listening to the harmonious music created by the wind and the sea at night. i want to look at the stars without the city's neon lights blinding my eyes and all i want is to enjoy life again. But for now, it was all wishful thinking.
so much for a break. it is not even noon yet but there are another release to write, another release to translate and another press conference to attend. sigh!!!!
