Babbling Point

10:48pm, still in the office, no I don't love my work this much... it's the only place where I can surf/email for "free"... I really need to get a new computer at home...

...on my way home... in a while...

So, I get back to reading AMERICAN GODS... yup, I finally got it... already half way through it... damn, Gaiman's good...

...Finally getting my fix of dream dust,,,
oooooooooohhhhhhhhh yyeaaahhhhhhhhhh...

Was hoping to stay and get to work on the text pieces for Batch72, but I'm tired and hunrgy.

Foooood.... hmmmm...

Got to watch David Blaine last night. Damn, he's good. Was familiar with some of the illusions he has doing. It's just amazing that he can do it on the street. Jobert, the Jedi Master, feels that David Blaine might not all be smoke and mirrors. He felt the the force in that boy. (Or maybe it's the Dark Side!)

I wonder if I should dig my old box of magic tricks and start practicing again. The lead character in AMERICAN GODS uses coin tricks to amuse himself and calm himself down during tense moments. I think I only know two or three of the coing palming techniques that was described in the books. Goes to show how much research Gaiman did for the book. Which makes me wonder if Gaiman is now good at sleight of hand.

Gotta find out what happens next...

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a...

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living ...

Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
