Firsts

(first billboard that i made:
can be seen in the Galleria wall facing Ortigas, and Market2x wall)

I saw an ad before with a tagline "when was the last time you did something for the first time?"

2005 and 2006 gave me a lot of firsts... but i'd rather focus on my firsts this 2006 - my 21st year on earth... my year. this year i had my first job/first company - as a junior copywriter in BBDO. about 3 weeks before i got employed... i made my first billboard (seen above), since Mojo asked me to add my magic on their billboard. and i just saw it yesterday, agggst, i was overwhelmed, happy to see my baby on hanging on the walls in Ortigas. then last week, our company went in the Creative Guild Ad of the Year Awards. that was the first Ad Awards i attended, saw the big men in the advertising industry. i met my UA&P creative mentors (Sir Third, Lawin and Nathan), and congratulated them for their gold. (we took home many awards too) and after that, we had a party in Greenbelt 3. first BBDO party i attended, it was fun. Thank God for the opportunities and the blessings!!! asteeeg!!!
