Wow, I'm really bad with this whole blog thing.

But since I have the day off, and have nothing to do, I have decided to blog.

It is an incredible day outside. First time for a long time the temperature is over 15 degrees. Oh sun, how much I've missed you. Unfortunetly, people are either busy or not around. And I really wanna go hang out outside today, but I have no one to hang out with. I was hanging out by myself earlier today. I bought some sushi for breakfast/lunch and a smoothie. I sat outside by the fountain and watched skater boys doing their thing. It was nice, but sometimes it sucks to be alone. People and their school work..... even if I had to study, I woulda taken the day off. its friggin Friday. AND sunny day. who studies? apparently everybody else but me.

Lately I have thought about starting my online portfolio. I was looking at some people's online portfolios and they look pretty neat and very expert-y. I am the type of person who sees something and I wonder how I would do it myself.

For now, I am gonna start off slow. Maybe creating a flickr account and post my stuff there: posters, websites, photographs. Flickr has a lot of viewers and its powered by yahoo search. It increases my chances of my artwork being seen. I wanna eventually make a website with my own domain. But since it's inda expensive now, I will save it for later.

There is a Communications Networking Event at the end of this month. There will be advertising professionals at this event. It is a good chance to connect with them, see what they are looking for when it comes to employ people, and what see what may my possible future bring me. I'm kinda excited and nervous at the same time. I have never been to a networking event. But I should Definetly wanna be prepared for this. Among some questions I wanna ask them are:
1) How does your company seem to develop in the next couple years?
2) How did your start your career?
3) What did you study at University?
4) What do you like the most about what you do?
5) What kinda of people do they look to work at the company?
6) What do you find the most challenging?
7) What kind of experiences did you have before?
8) What is the most important project you have involved in?
9) Did you arrive to the event yourself or did you come with any collegue?
10) In your profession, do you collaborate with other industries?

Advices I've gotten from internet: start off with common ground questions, look at them in the eye when they are talking and listen to them carefully, be polite, ask the right questions.

And apparently I could give them my business card...except that I don't have any. I'm not even sure if this is a business networking event or an event about possible future jobs. Lame. I think I'm just gonna show up with my smile :)
