Nightshift:call center agent’s blog

Just got home from a meeting with Fr. Pepe Pedraja and Tanay District Supervisor Rodina Espiritu. June and I were tasked to research for the materials to be published for the Tanay 400th foundation anniversary souvenir book.

I won’t dwell on the contents of our projects, as nothing yet is final. But at this early, I feel that in order for me to accomplish this very big project is to always have an Internet connection and a laptop. I can only do that once my sister and I changes dwelling as our landlady will convert the boarding house into a store once she retires in December.

Perhaps a connection with Globe Broadband will suffice as this already has a landline (which we don’t really need as we have our cellphones). I am not keen on subscribing to Smart Broadband because I want to experience another type of connection. The speed is just fine for a home user like me, although the connection is intermittent when it rains. From the feedback that I have been hearing, PLDT DSL is a no-no. Ditto with Digitel. But I could consider Bayantel’s package.

As I have thought in my previous post, I might ask my brother to buy me a laptop. If the brand new notebook will cost me just P 15, 000, I should grab it, right? That’s just two months of salary. Or perhaps a digicam, whichever is needed most.

I would have to check my resources for the sample articles that we will use. We might also be the one who will layout the souvenir book. Since the church is our client, the font types that I saw in Smashing Magazine will not apply, as we might need a gothic, serif type fonts. I have been buying FHM Magazines and PC Buyer’s Guide in the past few months to view the photos and be updated on the latest gadgets.

The Tanay Souvenir Book, which has a unique concept, is set to be released next year. It’s a very big project for us since my previous works has been focused on Baras Balita. Hopefully by the end of this project, I would be able to pursue a long time career in publishing as a layout artist and editor/writer. Last February, I had an attempt to penetrate the Municipality of Morong, Rizal through the newspaper its mayor is planning to publish then. The mayor is easy to talk to, but I have to deal with her staff who, most of the time, is out of the office. I have to shelve that plan.

This early, I have to thank Manila East Watch for giving me the opportunity to be one of their writers for almost a year. They opened the doors for me for Baras Balita and now Tanay Souvenir Program.
