Then A Narcissism Begins

Okay, how have you been everyone? It's been awhile. Tagal ko di nakapagblog. Just so you know I'm five months on the go (might give birth to my second this October) and Dudung (my daughter Margaux) has been clingy these days. Ganun siguro kapag magkakaroon na ng kapatid.

Anyways, whereabouts... well, I haven't tweeting in a while too. Right now I was just thinking of changing my pen name into something that sounds more like me. Definitely not Donna Mason. I want Mason to be my first name though... I want it to be Mason Duke. Asa pa ko!

So medyo matagal nga akong nawala sa pagsusulat. Aside from those nights na hindi ako masyadong inaantok. Well, I still manage to write--- mga once a month. Grabe. Ang kulang-kulang ko lately.

Anyways, marami na kong ipo-post now. So baka mga tatlong entry gawin ko.

Just stole this idea from a friend who posted trivia about her on FB but it was epic fail though because nobody cares! LOL. And then I thought about trivias about my life--- and surprisingly enough, there's only few that I can think of. 

So I'm doing this "20 trivias about myself challenge" to see how well I know myself. By the way, I copied these questions here and actually there were about 800 questions there but I just copied 20 and changed some of the questions (not really so much though). You can try this too and post it on your que! :-) So I'm doin' this with Katy Perry's The One that Got Away on my background. 

1) Whats your middle name? PIZARRO. MY LOLO'S (mom side) WERE ESPANOLS! 

2) How old are you? I'M... NOT HONEST.

3) Whats your Birthday? 05/05

4) What starsign does that make it? BULL... CRAP.

5) Whats your favourite colour? ORANGE. AND I HATE PURPLE. FOR SOME REASONS, IT'S ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH PINK AND I SON'T LIKE PINK THE MOST. DON'T ASK WHY I USE PURPLE ON THIS ONE. I'M JUST TOO LAZY TO CHANGE THE COLOR.

6) What are the names of your Children? FRANCE MARGAUX. MY SECOND WOULD BE EITHER OLGA GIORGIANA OR FRANCO MATEO? NOT SURE BOUT MATEO YET. 

7) Do you have any pets? NONE AT THE MOMENT. SERYOSO.

8) What's your significant other's endearment? CALL HIM BO. HE CALLS ME BABE. KNOW WHAT THEY SAY? BEING CALLED BABE IS JUST A GOOD FUCKIN' FEELING. FUCKIN' TRUE.

9) How tall are you? USUALLY DEPENDS ON HOW TALL IS THE PERSON ASKING. NAH. I'M A SHORT GIRL. 5'1" 

10) What shoe size are you? 6.5

11) How many pairs of shoes do you own? ENOUGH TO FILL A DECENT SIZE ROOM. BWAHAHAHAAA... MAINGGIT KA!

12) If you were prime minister/ruler of the world what laws would you make? A RULE THAT PUNISHES PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THEY ARE SWAG, PABEBE, JOLOGS, BASTA MGA GANYAN.

13) If you were a super hero what powers would you have? THE POWER OF TIME TRAVELLING. MORTALITY. THE POWER OF CREATING WHATEVER. AND THE LIST GOES ON. PROBABLY THE REASON I COULD NEVER BE A SUPERHERO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M TOO SELFISH.

14) and what would your hero name be? SUPER BOYKAPE

15) and what outfit would you wear? GEEZ, MAN. HEROES OUTFIT'S A GAYSHIT.

16) What was your last dream about? HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH MY DOCTOR'S HUSBAND. EWWW. NEXT PLEASE.

17) What would you do if you won the lottery? OH, MAN. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I WANNA DO BUT I BET I CAN SPEND IT ALL IN TWO HOURS. TRUST ME.

18) Would you like to build/design your own house? YEAH AND IT'S GONNA BE A MODERN MEDITERRANEAN MANSION.

19) Which form of public transport do you prefer? TRICYCLE. I LOVE TRICYCLES. I SELDOMLY RIDE ON JEEPNEYS. I JUST LOOK STUPID. IT'S SOMETHING I CAN NEVER GET USED TO.

20) What talents do you have? I'M SARCASTIC, DELUSIONAL, SELF-PROCLAIMED, ONE TOUGH SON OF A BITCH. ERRR... JUST IN CASE YOU CONSIDER THOSE "TALENTS".

Okay, can't believe I'm done. So, it's your turn. Spread goodness. Spread happiness! :-)

KEEP INTERESTED IN YOUR CAREER

Nobody will do it for you.

Donna Mason

So, there you go. After I sent my first manuscript, PHR  Precious Hearts Romance replied immediately to inform me they have received it already. Syempre, kinakabahan ako kasi hindi ko alam kung ma-approve ba. I even set an alarm to my phone after three weeks to update them but guess what? I received another email from them informing me it was approved.

Halos maiyak ako sa tuwa, promise. After that, nagpunta kami sa office to claim my first check and eventually signed a ten year contract with them. Nakapagsubmit rin ako ng acknowledgment, teaser and catchy line na hindi ko naman masyadong alam kung catchy nga ba.

They asked for at least three pen names I'd want to use and I came up with two: Primadonna and Mason D. Walang masyadong istorya do'n just so happened I've been using Primadonna Talks sa mga dati kong blogs... gusto ko sana BOYKAPE or PAPA UNO. I even thought of using Cathalina, pangalan kasi yun ng lola ko. By the way, Mason used to be my phone name when I was workin' at BPO kaya yun.


So, naexcite ako kung ano bang pen name ang maa-approve. I heard na may feng shui rin kasi yun. 

After a month or so, my editor message me. Binigay nya yung pen name ko--- "DONNA MASON"

Nasaktan ako nung una. Charot. Kase naman I was expecting Mason D. Kaso yun nga, so I thought of talking to the big boss and request to change it to Mason D. kung pwede. May issue kasi ko sa "DONNA" (hindi kay Donna Cruz or Donna Summer). 

But then, I talked to my bestfriend who's in States and he told me that Donna Mason actually sounds nice. He said it's such a strong name.

Tapos inulit ko mga 100  times.

DO-NA

DOH-NA

DA-NUH

DA-NUH MEI-SUN

DONNA MASON

Ayun, okay na ko.
