HK

off to HK with maddie on a shopping trip 2moro morning... can't wait... i desperately need a break...been a human typewriter ever since i joined zb... i need uplifting n rejuvenation, esp after being sent hate mails whenever i have a byline article.

& to mr s.t.w. (if u happen to be a reader of my blog): if u don't see my byline, doesn't mean i'm not at work. i'm at work and writing non-byline articles. if u tink i'm so bad, pick out the non-byline articles written by me as well. even when i have bylines, i have other articles as well in the other pages tt r not bylined. criticise all of it if u must target me.

b back wed. ciao.

Trust me, I'm a journalist

Was randomly surfing facebook...procrastinating as usual....supposed to be finishing up my article for 2moro...

a fren had this group on her facebook: "Trust me, I'm a journalist" n it came with this pretty apt description:

"For those who barely make the deadlines, always need to be in-the-know, work crazy hours covering hurricanes, have seen their fair share of car accidents and knocked on more than enough doors of criminals and grieving families -- all for a byline or 1:30 of airtime."

kinda sums up wat i do... just tt i haven't covered any major natural disasters b4... car accidents, criminals, grieving families, men in white, alternative voices, pimps, fashionistas, men who live for their rides, motor mouths, mutes, geeks, freaks, nutters... been there, done that. spent half a year spending my mornings at the mortuary... glad tt i got out of it sooner than most.

now i spend my days canoodling with economists, property agents, bankers, analysts and anyone tt has or handle money...prob one of the most painful ting to do...seeing lost opportunities n the rich getting richer n the poor getting poorer...

oh well, i need to scoot...or i'm never gonna make the deadline for 2moro's paper. ciao
