Babbling Point

I'm online again!!!

Ahhh...

I really need an internet connection at home.
I really need a new and faster computer... and maybe a DSL connection.

What I really need to do is focus on B72.
Went to PWU last Friday and distributed flyers. If at least ten of those kids would buy the book, then the trip would have been worth it.
There's a PWU local band called Planet Mimic. I predict that they will be the next big thing... or at least, of the next big thingees.

Anyway, since I was restless last night and couldn't get online I started reading SMOKE AND MIRRORS again.
Don't know why. Maybe it was because it was the book on the top of my pile of books.

Re-read that Hollywood story, about the writer who goes to L.A. and goes through the torture of having to rewrite his besting novel novel about Charles Manson, into a b-movie script about a serial killer who gets reicarnated in a video game, just to please the studio execs. Maybe I now identify with the character because of the many times I'd have to rewrite my copy just to please the telco execs.

Also re-read the "Looking for the Girl" story.
Interesting that Gaiman wrote it for Penthouse and was all about the pictures of girls in Penthouse and was actually able to make an interesting story about the girls of Penthouse. (am I making sense?)

It's 11am and I'm surviving on instant coffee and orange-flavored creamer.

Somebody save me!!!

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...
