never underestimate the importance of network.
i'd been trying to get a job- jobs i actually could see myself doing as a career. no such luck. in my search, i contemplated ridiculous things like copywriting for a gaming company. really cool job, but not for me. basically, i had to write backstories for an MMORPG game for my portfolio.
Forged from the fires of Chaos, fed by the blood of a thousand wars, one heart begins to beat to the rhythm of the cries of his people for release, and from out of the darkness that binds all life... he came. Kian, his eyes burning with the hunger for battle, his lust for blood unquenched, his heart pulls him toward his destiny... and the battlefield that he will soon call home. The purpose that had once compelled them to wage war has been lost within the shrouded memories of their elders, until only hatred, bathed in the pain of hundreds of years of war, now serve as their reason.
now, it takes some skill to write something like that. that's some powerful stuff right there- i was ROFLMAOing as i read it, and damn, there's a whole lot more where that came from. i still wonder if that person was being serious as he wrote that, he couldn't have been right? as amused as i was, i do not have what it takes lol.
then came jun in his shining armor. an advertising internship literally just dropped in my lap thanks to him- with this amazing huge international firm too. i honestly feel like i struck lottery.
and the person who first interviewed me was from chij and cj too, so we had plenty to talk about.. it felt familiar. mag low and jo teo ftw.
wow. dream internship, more than i could wish for
