    Amazing Birthday!

    By Ieshwar,

    I'm writing this blog as an attempt to capture this great feeling inside me. I feel... Have you ever had to control your body so that you don't start dancing in the middle of the road? (I wish my life was a musical. That would have been fcking awesome!) It feels like I'm half-dreaming. Yesterday, I wanted to get off the bus and run home and scream how happy I was.
     
    So, yes, yesterday was my birthday. But that's just the cherry on top of the cake which makes the whole thing much more awesome.
     
    The cake is....
     
    *drum rolls*
     
    I got my dream job! As graphic designer in an advertising agency. And it's not any agency. It's easily amongs the top three In Mauritius. It is THE company I always looked up to during my course and thought "Wow, they are good." And now to be there as part of the team.... Given the present situation of the economy and how tough the job market is for designers, it's tough for someone to get a good job, let alone for someone has just finished college and has no experience in this field.
     
    Since August I've been there as an intern, with the possibility of a job at the end IF they like my way of working. Two months, I spent dreaming and hoping for this moment. Sometimes, I was sure that it was not going to happen. But I promised myself to give myself to a max. And I did (kinda. Let's say 90%. I can be lazy sometimes. )
     
    And when I heard it, I was half-high. I literally couldn't hear clearly. My mind was like "OMG, it's happening." At the end, my art director pinched me and said "It's real. You're not dreaming."
     
    And the weird thing is that they had already planned to tell me on Monday (yesterday) without knowing that it was my birthday! Wow...
     
    So yes, it's been a great birthday.
     
    On side note, my boyfriend bought an physical exercise kit for me as gift. Hint? Hope not.
     
    (P.S Why is my Blog Description "Standing At The Threshold?" Dude, I'm already beyond the threshold, sitting on the sofa and sipping my coffee... *sorry for the silliness* )

    In his blog entry, FishWings has come up with the Anthology Challenge. Since he asked so sweetly, I couldn’t refuse.
     
     
    My Picks (in particular order):
    KC Grim
    SidLove
    W_L
    Comicfan
    FishWings
     
     
    1. As The Music Plays by KC Grim
    "Jade lives and breathes music, it’s her entire universe. What will she do when she finds the girl of her dreams, but can’t share the most important thing in her life with one person she loves the most?"
     
    My Thoughts:
     
     
     
    2. Holding on To Hope by SidLove
    "Brad finally meets the man of his dreams on the Valentine's Day. He even loses his virginity to him. But the problem occurs when he wakes up the next morning and realizes he can't remember anything about the guy - not even remembering what he looks like. His best friend, Leslie, thinks he has imagined it all. But was it a mere imagination? or was there something more dangerous to that story?"
     
    My Thoughts:
     
     
     
    3. In The Cold by W_L
    "A Real-Life based tale of a cold New England night"

    4. Lost At Sea by Comicfan
    "Andy thought he had found the love of his life in Teddy, then Teddy walked out one day. Andy found himself lost at sea with a strange woman who reminds him vaguely of someone he knows. Will he ever find his back or will this be a night to remember."
     
    My Thoughts:
     
     
     
     
    5. Six Seconds by FishWings
    "Pressed for time, Callen Worthwright drives down a treacherous route back from his snowboarding trip. The roads are icy; the snowstorm is a whiteout, and his car skids straight into the Pacific Ocean. Hanging desperately on to life, a supernatural presence grants him a second chance at redemption. Callen is propelled kilometres across the continent to visit a long-lost friend whom he never had the chance to admit his feelings to.
     
    The catch? He only has six hours to live."
     
    My Thoughts:
     
     
     
     
     
    Writing and reading for this anthology reminded me how addicting GA anthologies can be. No wonder 11 out of my stories are GA anthos. This was a great experience, especially discovering stories from authors whose works I have never read before. The theme was very well-chosen, giving the writers the freedom to express in their own way.
     
    Cheers
