Dear
Lior,
Hi,
baby! I’m sorry I haven’t written lately. There’s no good excuse to it but I
believe I have something worth mentioning… I got in at BBDO! It’s my dream
agency. It’s amazing. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I am now
carrying a @bbdoguerrero.com email address. They’re absolutely the best agency
in the country, so being here, surrounded with great, talented, creative,
amazing people is just beyond me. It’s hard though, because it takes
most of my time. I go home with just enough energy to sleep. It’s exhausting
but you should know that I am having the best time of my life.
I’m here
as I write this. Surprisingly, I do not have much Job Orders for today.
Although for the past few weeks, I have been so swamped. Yet no complaints. Absolutely nothing. This is
something I’ve always wanted to do.. change the world through advertising. It
sounds funny to you maybe cause even though I cannot tell yet what you want to
be when you grow older, I know that it might be something very dorky? Anyway, know I love you regardless.
I wake
up at 7 am just enough allowance to make it here at around 9 am. Then I
sometimes leave at 8 or 9, depending on deadlines. I walk around 1.5 to 2 kms every night to get to the shuttle stop. Most days, they give us work
that needed submission in a few hours. It’s tough because it goes through a
handful of builds before getting cleared by a Creative Director which will then be sent to client for approval. But I promise
you, it is worth it.
I miss
being around you though. I miss giving you baths, and reminding you when it’s
siesta, or just the simplicity of spending the time with your kulit self. On
our days apart, please know that I am learning so much with my time here and I
love what I am doing – something that is truly essential in this world.
Which is why this needs reminding time and time again: please
do not ever forget to go after the things you want. I want you to feel what I
am feeling now. You deserve to be happy. And I promise you, we’re going to make sure you’re
getting that.
I love
you always, always, always.
-->
Forever.
Mama.
