Before I show you exactly what I'm talking about, first let me tell you how this came to be. My office's HR usually hands over the conceptualization of our weekly print ad to us in Marketing. My fellow Marketing colleagues then thought of putting people from different areas apart from Cebu together in the ad with the catch phrase: "Just because they come from different places doesn't mean that they can't work together." Since I'm from both Leyte and Manila, they decided to include me as one of the "print models" in the ad.
Thus, after a few mug shots and a little tweaking by our talented graphic designer, Mark, this is the result:
Note the smug look on my face. I'm just trying to project the "terror teacher" persona I got known for in my teaching days. hehehe...
This came out in today's edition of Sun.Star. That's me on the extreme left, followed by the lovely Jade, the cute Alfalfa-like Jon (note the single tuft of hair sticking on top of his head...cute!), killer half-kangaroo Noel (Peace, yo!) and the virginal Winnie. Oops, didn't notice that I cropped out Noel's place of origin. He's actually our half-Aussie, half-Cebuano mate.
This is what HR gets when they leave the making of the job ad to us. hehehehe...
I'm an in-your-face person in the sense that I always make an impression on people -- whether good or bad. I've never been one to hold back my tongue, and that has already caused me a lot of trouble in the past (and even in the present). Yes, I'm brutally frank, and only the strong of heart and mind can really see the wisdom behind my "cariño brutal." But I'm quite a marshmallow to people who are nice to me. Thus, be kind to me and I'll be kind to you. Piss me off and you'll wish you were never born.
And did I say that I'm kind?
