Last March 22, 2013, we had our first, and thankfully our last, Advertising Night at Planta Centro Bacolod Hotel & Residences. The night was fun, but the stress we went through just to make the night successful was dreadful. Slept around 4AM just to finish all 5 different advertisement with a few help from other group members though I did almost everything.
Accomplishing the project was one hell of task. Slept over my friend's house coz I'll be dead if I did it on my own. The freakin' sleepover lasted 'till 4am, then I can't bear it anymore that I slept with my laptop lying on my face. All of my energy was drained that I ended up "physically present mentally absent" on all my classes the next day. My brain wasn't functioning and I seem to be lost all the time.
The second part was having the advertisement checked by our teacher. There were rumors that I had to do it again -- all of it, all over again -- because it's simply pathetic and just plain wrong. I was about to commit suicide (I'm exaggerating, obviously) a few minutes before it was our turn on the line. I let out a huge and all out sigh when he said "If you think your video commercial is fine, then you don't really have to do it again." Thank God I'm still alive.
The last part of this advertising adventure was the awards night, the Advertising Night. I prayed the whole week after the judging, and I had all my fingers crossed just to bring all the luck that I could get. This time I'm not gonna deny it, I was dying to receive even just one trophy! Though I know other ads were waaaaaaay more amazing than ours, I was still hoping. But at the back of my mind I knew I won't receive any, and I was right. I got over it easily anyway because of my heels, it was killing me. We were in a world war and it was winning this time. I was dying to take it off, the moment I was able to, my flats felt like heaven. Myghad.
They say laughter is the best medicine, and I say thank to these people for all the laughter after a very stressful week.
Hello to my MK3A classmates who are as stressed as I am. We're all playing dress up that night but no make up could cover the stress and the pressure we went through the would thing. All smiles, ladies! We're almost done with all of this!
This was the best part of the night The drinking session started as our summer started too. I've never been this excited for summer, though every time the school year ends I am excited, but not this much. Thinking that there'll be no deadline and stress and pressure (for the mean time), I could use this couple of days to unwind and finally feel that I have a life other than facing my laptop and making projects and letters. But I never forget the fact that after the hurrah is another bunch of paper works, hello internship!
