Internship Update
The first 2 days of my intership at DDB were super slow. I pretty much drink soda, surf the net and play ping pong for 16 hours.
Today is the third day of my intership and it has been intense.
I have done a web banner for fabrics, a story board for a 15 sec captive video (The ones in the elevators), two print ads for pharmaceuticals, and some image retouching for a home appliances site. As I...
The Wedding
I was at a wedding last night.
The father of my faghag got married
They meet 3 weeks ago
And now they are married.
THe wedding cost $50.000.
Everybody at the reception was wondering how long the marriage will last.
Shakespeare wrote “The course of true love never did run smooth,”, and love is a force that we cannot control. But 3 weeks?
First day at DDB
Yesterday I officially started my internship at DDB.
Welcome to the corporate world! ….
Me and my partner Chris showed up at 10:00 am SHARP at DDB in Madison Ave.
We were shown where we will be seated (A very large cubicle for two!) and we were assigned computers. All good so far!…
-“We will have some stuff for you soon!” - our supervisor said, and she walked away.

After my history class this morning, I got to see the inauguration of the 44th president, Senator Barack Obama at school. All the main areas were broadcasting the inauguration.
Pastor Warren lead the opening prayer.
Then Aretha Franklin sang! “My country ‘Tis of thee”. Very cool.
Robert Bennet order everyone to get up, and Joe Biden was swore in as VP by John P. Steven. The...
Martin Luther King (Excerpt)
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even...
Ganesha
I am taking an art history class this winter. the class it is art from ancient India. Besides the fact that the class take 3 hours every day in the morning, and that the first hour I am literally in pain trying not to pass out, I am really enjoying it!
Today we had a field trip. To an Hindi temple. Deep, DEEEP in Flushing Queens.
So I had to get up at 8:00, and battle the freezing weather and...
Really AT&T?
Yesterday, in the middle if my morning art history class, I get a text message from AT&T: “watch the new seson of American idol!” among other information.
I don even watch tv. This unsolicited text got me upset. I am paying for every text I sent and I would expect my own cell phone carrier to respect my right of privacy and do not send me junk!
It seems that I was not the only...
La mère de mon ami.
Yesterday I was hanging out with my friend Oscar.
Me mentioned to me that he need to pick up something at the mother place and if I don’t mind coming along. I have nothing to do, so I joined him.
I was intimidated about meeting his mother. All the sudden I felt like I was 10 and I was going to see my buddy Oscar at his house and we will ask permission to go out and play!
We made it to...
Happy New Year!
As I mention in a previous post, in my country, we burn stuff to celebrate the New Year. Not any stuff, but beautifully made paper dolls.
My family and I decided to build a female character from an anime series that my brother likes. We measure my younger sister’s body and we built a small “Año Viejo” her same size.
The New Year Celebrations in my city start early. Music blast from large...
