Honest Labor: A Valedictory
Kitty Litter is alive again, thanks to the closing of the July issue of Sense & Style. The new, experienced, professional editor-in-chief is in the house, and I think he was highly amused to see the relief on my face when he came in to meet with us.
Please do pick up a copy of the July issue of Sense & Style. We've got Cecile Licad on the cover, and thanks to the blog network, I have the following great writers in there: April Yap of "Stressed in the City" fame; do pick up a copy!), Yvette Tan, Luis Katigbak, Indira Endaya, Golda San Joaquin (best friend-tight hugs!), Zoe Gabe, Valerie Young, Jullie Yap Daza, Tata Francisco, Geolette Esguerra, J. Anthony Lopez, Malaya Laraya, and the famous Lori Baltazar (whew!)
At this point I have to bow to Spongemarb, without whom this issue would not have been possible. If it had not been for her, I would've been found hanging from the flagpole in front of the office last week. Despite having no reward in sight, she held my hand, organized shoots, found models, fed me, gave great advice, and was indispensable. Spongemarb, you have always had first dibs on my copyediting services; now you own me! (Big, big hug. May kagat pa!) I also want to thank my boss, code named E3, for his patience and support, and for his hilarious jokes at key points.
I'm proud of this issue because we had only twelve days to do virtually everything. But if it's the price to pay to get rid of my ex-co-editor, for whom everything was a big ego-tripping joke, then so be it. I have discovered one thing about myself: I am truly a slogger. I may cry though a hard time or a trial, but by God I will muddle through it somehow.
And of course Wynn, who kept me sane and talked me through the whole business.
To everyone, thank you so much. And please (again) do pick up a copy and let me know what you think. Though this is my one and only issue, and we didn't have enough time to pull off all our great ideas, nonetheless it is my baby.
I think I will pass out for a day or two then get back to the writing I love :)
