I know I haven’t been posting much lately, and I’m feeling somewhat guilty because I’ve been constantly neglecting this blog for a couple of weeks now. As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve been on and off Tumblr for the past few days. You see, I’ve been trying my best to keep up with my internet life but things have been keeping me busy lately. And as much as I want to post new works here, I just can’t seem to get enough of a handle on things to make room for drawing.

Five weeks ago, I started my internship with Rogue magazine. Man, I can’t even begin to explain how ecstatic I am, seriously. It has already been 31 days since my first day of training but I still can’t digest the fact that I made it here. Huhuu. I’m just extremely grateful, really. ;__; Working in a magazine has always been a dream of mine. When I was sixteen, I remember thinking, “someday I’m gonna make it in the publishing industry!” Little did I know that 2 years later, I’d actually make that silly dream happen. Haha! I was literally prancing and dancing with joy the moment I knew I got accepted.

My first month stay in Rogue has been nothing short of amazing. At first, I was really worried because I thought I’m going to have a hard time adjusting with the working environment. But since everyone was surprisingly nice and friendly, I found it so much easier to get along. (Although I admit I don’t really talk that much when I’m in the office. Hahaha!)

Every day is a learning experience for me. I get to try a lot of things, meet new people, discover new places, get to have a first-hand experience of what it’s like to work in the industry, have a deeper understanding of the publishing world, and most importantly, I get to surround myself with inspiring individuals who share the same passion as I do. It feels overwhelmingly great, really. Every time I go home from work, I always find myself smiling like an idiot. Hahaha (luka-loka lang ang peg?)

Anyway, here’s an inside look at Rogue’s office

This giant R right here is the first thing you’ll see the moment you enter the door

Some of Roguemag’s previous photoshoots

Nicola and Michelle’s desks

Rogue’s mini library.

This one right here’s Deputy Art Director, Miguel Lugtu’s workstation

Rogue’s office motto. Something to keep us inspired while working :)

That room right there is Editor in Chief, Paolo Reyes’ office, adjacent to that is Assistant Editor, Raymond Ang’s desk

This one’s Managing Editor, Carmela Lopa’s office. I find her room the niftiest among the other three. haha

and here’s Creative Director, Miguel Mari’s (forgot to take a picture of Sir L.A’s)

Obligatory webcam photo. hehe! I don’t understand why I look so bitchy in this picture -_-

I know the month of May is almost over, but in case you haven’t grabbed a copy of this issue yet, please do! ^^
