Here in my good 'ol country Pinas, there's this brand called Pagonda Cold Wave Lotion. It's a type of chemical product used for hair perming.

Now, when I say i am Miss Pagoda Philippines -- it's a slang word for pagod. tired. it's one of those nice adjectives to use that came from gay folks. it's a happy word for me.

It's a happy word because when one is so stressed out, like me, today, it just feels so good when i shout out to the world that i am PAGODA.I hear them from my officemates, gay or straight and we all love using this slang world. It frees us from our misery in Advertising.

I'm so frieking tired today. Goodness. Those little things that you do can get one really tired like viewing release materials -- tons and tons of release materials. Goodness gracious. They take up so much time. Your ears are bleeding and you almost become cross-eyed from hearing and seeing the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. But someone has to do it. Someone has to make sure that all tapes that you release contain the right stuff or at the very least contains something. You dont want it going to the station when you're past your deadline and get feedback from them saying it doesn't contain anything. Worse, you don't want it see on-air and realize that you aired the wrong material. Might as well die. Or go to hell. I'd rather die than face the consequences of having to pay such a huge amount of money (that i don't have), work for x number of years to pay for that frieking mistake plus get sacked by your boss, your Agency and your Client.

So whoever came up with that term 'pagoda', thank you. It can really brighten up your day. Try it, you'll see.
