"Sayonara, LUGI!"
- essie-hime
Yeah, I said "Bye Bye" already to my dreams of becoming an editorial assistant with LUGI (LevelUp Games Inc.). I mean, why should I still keep it? First of all, I lack experience. Second, the interview with the Editor-in-Chief didn't go well (sheeesh, I clammed up). Third, there was this yasashii (kind), kakoii (cool), hontoni bishounen (really good looking guy) beside me while I was waiting for my interview and guess what, he's also an applicant for the same position. Hontoni sugoi (really amazing), ne? Atashi no shin was crushed (sorry for the japlish, I can't say it in straight japanese yet, gomen!.. @____@)
*sigh*
From the start, I knew that having an experience in the writing field was a plus but I also knew it that if you lack experience, it wasn't a minus either. Experience, in terms of jobs, is just a proof that you've done those kind of shit before. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you're good at it, does it? If you look at it closer, experience shouldn't really matter because it's always a case to case basis. One might be good at writing these kind of stuff but then again, he might be bad on other stuff, right? And besides, human are very flexible beings, we can adapt and survive!
Oh God. I'm so in ampalaya mode!
Anyway, the interview with the Editor-in-Chief didn't really go as smooth as I expected it to be. Maybe because I tried to guess beforehand every question that he might ask me. You know, Miss Universe/ Job Interview questions like: "Why did you choose LevelUp?" or "If you were given a chance to climb the success ladder, how far do you think you can go?" or I even expected that "Tell me something about yourself" question. Maybe I was disappointed because, well, I did guess one question right. The most idiotic question in an interview, my most hated question. "Tell me..." Ugh! I'm not gonna finish it, so over-rated!
So there, the interview was done in less than 30 minutes while Bishounen-san, who was interviewed ahead of me, took almost an hour. Man, I was really pressured on the idea that he was interviewed before me. It might have been a 'OK' situation if I weren't able to talk to him because then I wouldn't know that he's a former DJ (his term was FM radio announcer, how humble..T_T).
And that he was also from Accenture who paid 100k just to get out of the bond.
And that he was a real estate agent.
And that he wrote restaurant reviews for clickthecity.com and got to be treated like a VIP. *envy*
And best of all, that he's the same age as me.
And that compared to him, I'm.....
Kyaaaaaaaaaa.. I don't even have the right word. He broke my heart, stole my dream!
Haha, just kidding! *hides under the bed* T___T
*sigh*
I mean, how can somebody like him do all those stuff in the span of three years since graduation while I, on the other hand, has done nothing but take calls.
And watch anime.
And read manga.
And watch more anime.
And read more manga.
And then, take calls.

Kyaaaaa, this is absurd! I want a life, life life! I want to go out there and experience how it feels to be like him. How to be like Kaoru. You know, people who do what they love to do.
But then again, Bishounen-san said something that really hit me here *points heart*. Bullseye. He said that if you really do love writing, the only way to perfect it is through practice, practice, practice.
Hmp. I knew that. But darn, I didn't practice.
So this is the consequence. And since he's the one who's always practicing, he might be the new editorial assistant for the New Media department of LU. Congratulations.. :)
So the next time I'm gonna visit LU's website, I kinda know who wrote those stuff. Bishounen-san.
Some people are really amazing.
And I'm one of them! Hahaha, gambarimasu*! Fight-o, fight-o, fight-o!
Tsk, let me be. I'm cheering myself up! :p I know there would always be somebody better than me at what I'm trying to achieve but nobody can do it like I do!
Do, do, do, do, do! Hala, nabaliw na 'ko, gomen!
Oh, and one more thing. Here's the pic of bishie-san. It's from the launch of their station:
I know, he kinda looks like an egg here but hey, he's really cute in person. He reminds me of Billie Crawford.
And Bishie-san, sorry if I posted your picture here. Hope you never get to see this blog post and if ever you do, *bows* hontoni gomen! Sorry! ^___^V peace! Ganbatte!
Yoroshiku, ne!
