I check my email on a daily basis. In fact, I check my Inbox more than I do my mailbox – because I know people hardly send me surprise gifts to my mailbox as compared to my virtual mail. Haha!
But today, there was something else on my Inbox.
An email that I’ve never thought I’d receive.
Can you guess what it was already?
If you watch Sex & The City, then you’d understand why I chose THAT title for today’s post. They’re all related, my friends.
OK, here’s the news:
I received an email from the Director of a woman’s magazine from the US – and no, it wasn’t a modelling career offer, don’t worry. What he offered me is to be a contributor to their fastest growing women’s site/portal on the Internet. Yep, me, Cindy, the ever so confused sumandak. I just got an offer to become one of their expert writer, to write about an area of my expertise for them. Woot!
Now, now.. don’t get too excited for me, there are still…confusions on some area. At least from MY side. .. I am still unsure of whether I should accept the offer or just turn my back? Will I be able to commit myself to write for them? Am I really ready for this? .. am I really that good? Those were the questions that popped through my head. Though the one main question would be: Will I be earning a lot from them? LOL!!
Either way, I have to make a decision.
Maybe I’ll think about it while I’m on the Tamagotchi. Remember the pink Tamagotchi that I bid on eBay and made a big fuss about it when someone decided to outbid me again and again? Well, I won and it arrived this morning. As you can see in the picture, that damned thing just pooped!
Great. I just got another offer.
Cleaning a virtual pet’s poo. *teeheehee*
PS: Sorry I can’t tell which magazine offered me that. At least not yet.

Wow, can I pretend to be a woman so I can get some of my articles published too? Think I can pull it off? :-P

excuse me… are you still doubting?
Cindyyyyyyyyyyy, PLEASE ! don’t be silly and accept it ! what will you be missing ?????
You’ll be working from home, which does mean you don’t have to move abroad or whatever.

You’ll be writing about something you really like ( sweets, shopping, money and men ? haha ! kidding
You’ll be earning money, easy money!
Why not? JUST TRY IT ! JUST DO IT !
Big big hugs ( I’d do it if they proposed me… don’t they need another one ? haha

Always remember, you have a brother by the name of Kay Stanford Jr Kastum, in case you become rich and famous.

Hi Cindy,
just started reading your posts this past week, Congrats! on the possible writing assignment. As for whether or not to take it? Well thats a no-brainer, with how well Women’s magazines sell here in the states, you’d be foolish not too try, who knows what it could lead to, as for will they pay, Yes! if what you have to say keeps people buying the magazine…nothing gained if nothing ventured…go for it, I think you’d be selling yourself short if you didn’t at least try it…good luck with your decision…

Lucky you. All I got is an email from Imelda Marcos telling me she will share 30% of her dead husband’s ill-gotten riches which somehow is stucked at the National Bank of Philippines…

You lucky girl!good for you!go for it cindy, or pass it to me? hehe Congrats!
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:57 pm
Aww.. thank you everyone for the support. That was so sweet of you leaving me comments and good wishes. I’m still considering the offer.
Wombat: Now THAT is a generous offer! All I had was from some Nigerian guy who claimed to offer me 30% of $$ left by their relatives who died in a plane crash. But of course, I was required to pay them some huge amount of money too. LOL!!!

What a great offer Cindy… I would say this is a chance of a lifetime! Some people probably have to send their resume to get the job! But before you accept the offer, ask how much is he offering and how often should you write for them..daily, weekly etc. If you think, it’s taking too much of your time, then I guess it’s up to you to decide. Good luck in your decision making!

Nigerian offers are passe. You should see the variation they came up with nowadays. Yesterday it was Paris Hilton!

Wombat: Geez, I’ve never got the Paris Hilton version yet!
