Babbling Point

Cold start

It’s 955am on my computer clock

Need to write three things

Well more than three things

There are three J.O.’s on my desk

Some small

Some big

Actually
They’re all little jobs

A sentence or two

A headline

A headline which you just can’t neglect

Trying to find a new way to say that “it’s a new way!”

Playing eheads PLAYGROUND in the background

In inq7 today
The list of the nominees for the national book awards

Yup he got in

Well, judging by the books that came out this year, there would be more compete next year

I can already see ONE NIGHT IN PURGATORY, ISAW and THE LOST getting in
Depends what else comes out in the next three months

Ahhhhh
Just trying to loosen and stretch the old typing fingers

Crack

Crack

Jogging the grey matter to start thinking

I’m still on auto pilot

Still asleep

This instant coffee just isn’t kicking in

Damn I need that brewed stuff

When I was parking Brandie called and told me the cost of an I-book
And from the looks of it
If we do get it
It’ll mean a whole of giving up stuff on my part
May have to really cut down on the books and the coffee

Ahhhhhh

The sacrifices we make for our craft

Geez

Took my last swig of the instant

As Elijah Snow said, tastes like a dog pissed in it.

Good morning.

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...
