the campaign and election coverage have been mentally draining that i, for a very long time, seems to have forgotten how to write something that features my perspective on things.

nothing follows.

literally scratching my back

"this should be your last day of being a mediocre reporter."

and so how the gods and goddesses from the heavens they call office informed me about their dissatisfaction with my stories. wow.

and i thought i was doing fine and catching up. but i guess they want me to become a mole. not a good reporter. they want me to put malice in all the articles i write. they want me to exagerrate and sensationalize the way the inquirer does. they want me to create a mountain out of a molehill.

but ive been writting the news as it is, as they exactly happen. call it boring, call it plain. but what can a writer do but write about the things that happened? i cannot just write about things happening under the table at this point. ive first gotta establish credibility then build a network of sources before i get to have access to the kind of stories they want to see me writing. i cant believe i have to tell them to step off considering that they did not give me the proper training i need.

this said, i think its just unfair for them to expect so much from me when they they just immediately throw out in the pond. if they want malicious stories, they should have pirated senior reporters from the daily tribune or malaya. they should not have designated a newbie to a national, political beat.

every great things start in from simple and small things. i will get there, not just now. i just first have to master what they call responsible reporting. cause establishing credibility is more important than everyhing in the media business.

i knew it will come to this. i still think im poorly clad in the political analysis area because i lack experience.

gah, i dont know how to react. was it a complement or was it something else? and i dont want to think about it. all i know is that it made more worn out.

have you ever had a day that started out good then suddenly ended with a disaster? that's kinda how this is. shoot. how am i gonna survive tomorrow?

who in the right mind will believe that ridiculous article i post yesterday? i dont think there's even a need for me to say it was a joke. obviously, it was a mockery of the people in GO for riding in almost every issue.

*&5z#, pag-untugin ko kayo ni adel e. masyado kayong seryoso. di na tuloy kayo maka-distinguish ng joke.

this is actually the mock story's point: it's too far-fetched and ridiculous.

NOTE: if you take this one seriously, too, youre thinking too much.
