promoted!

Barely a month at ANC, I was just promoted!!!!

No, it was not promotion as in promoted to a higher position or promotion as in doubling my salary. It was a promotion of work responsibility. Meaning, I was given the important task already. And I'm so happy.

For the past weeks, I was just doing simple things, but now my boss felt that I am ready for the "real" job. I am still a PA. I will still do PA stuff. But now I have an added description to my very flexibe job.

Ms.Francis, my superior, invited me and Betina, a co-new hire, to a short meeting with other executive producers. Then she said to the producers that Jekki and Bettina are with the company for a month now and that she has been checking our work and saw that we were improving. Then she said that she is recommending us to actually WRITE NEWS for one program in ANC. The producers all agreed. I was so surprised and happy.

Ever since I worked at ANC, i said to myself that I wanted to try writing news. And when Ms.Francis said that I will, I was excited. But at the same time, it is also a huge responsibiity and it gives me more pressure. It feels good to know that my superiors trust me for allowing me to actually write the news. It is very humbling, but also is a big challenge. Cause now I will be writing not for a teacher or for myself, but writing for a big audience, and specifically for the target audience of ANC (which are businessmen and politicians). Also, it's hard, because there are no room for mistakes! I must be very OC. No wrong grammar and spelling and no no wrong content. Imagine I can be sued for libel already!!! hehe

Anyway, I will be writing for Prime News (the TV Patrol version of ANC). Every writer is assigned a particular section. There are writers for national news, weather, foreign news, business, features... and guess what was assigned to me!! I was assigned the sports news!!! haha, I don't know anything about it, but I will take it as a challenge and I will study it. So, I choose my own sports news- whether it be about UAAP or NCAA or NBA or Olympics- ako na bahala, with the approval of the sports editor of course.

I will officially start writing tom. Although I did write kanina. I wrote about Kobe Bryant!.. hehe.. well, now I could say that I am a sports writer...

hehe, how ironic!
