whew! finally. this will be my first entry on my new blog and funny because i don't know what to write about. i've been very busy lately that's it's even a blessing that i could still find time to blog or even think of setting up one.

until now i'm still piled with staggering amounts of scripts. for the past couple of weeks, i hardly edited. i just can't help changing the whole content of the scripts the OJT did. to be honest, i'm a little peeved about it but there's really nothing i could do. and it's not helping that other workloads are piling on my desk while the scripts just keep coming and coming. i guess i should be thankful that it's only a five minute segment and not a full blown 30-minute radio program. if that's the case, i'd probably have my position changed from executive assistant to radio segment producer, LOL, and have my desk moved to Baguio City where it's being produced.

anyway, probably i'll give a little background on myself and what i do. i'm 21 years old working for a non government organization here in the Philippines. It's called CBN Asia but I work for its humanitarian arm - Operation Blessing. technically, i'm an executive assistant, but usually, i do writing jobs - writing feature stories, handling the facebook and twitter account, laying out manuals, on-field photographer (but very rarely), and designing/editing things on photoshop.

however, during the first quarter of this year, i was given a new task which is to write and produce a 5-minute radio segment for a radio program. my executive, you see, is a medical doctor and she was asked to host a five minute segment that would educate listeners living in far-flung areas of the country on health. since i did a bit of radio scriptwriting and producing back in college, i got the job.

i enjoyed it, and i still do. but having to produce 4 segments in a month is becoming too taxing for me. because besides this radio job, i also have other responsibilities at work that i could not ignore. after all, i AM an executive assistant and i have tons of administrative work to do, besides the communications work that is also demanding my time. i guess i have to start mastering the art of balance before i tip over and fall. now the question is how to do that, with me juggling work and personal life (if i still do have one, LOL).

probably you could say i am overworked. but better to be overworked at this stage in life than jobless.
