My first try of submitting article to local magazine
I saw the opportunity in a local magazine where I can write in my "Success Story" and win $150 voucher to get pair of sneakers. I tried my luck end Feb 2008. After 1.5 months no news from the magazine I thought "aya no chance liao" so I just no bothered. Then my trainer also ask me to write for Fitness First magazine newsletter in March. I decided to write my article with different focus and doubted that my first entry if I did not write a good article.
Just about 2 weeks ago, I start receive sms from the magazine staff telling me her editor ask her to get more photos from me. So I emailed her more of my old photos that show the "fatter" me. A week later she informed me that her magazine photographer will contact me to arrange photoshoot. I was thinking, oh dear did my article get selected? I managed to confirmed it today when get this email.
"Morning Patricia!Don't worry! I'll make sure Alvinn shoot you properly. He's very experienced in his craft, cos he's helped me with other Success Stories applicants before you.Just a small thing to highlight to you, keep your makeup to the lightest, so to make you look more natural… if that's okay with you. 'I'm sure your friends will like your AFTER picture when they see it in the May' 08 issue of XXXXXXXX.Anymore queries, feel free to give me a call for reassurance!"
Honestly I am kinda worried now coz not only my friends but colleagues might see me in that magazine. I just found out one of them read this magazine regularly. I am not going to mention it, lookout for May issue of any local magazines that related to Health. I let you all guess.
My photoshoot will be coming weekend. Wish me luck !
