Babbling Point

I'm in Greenbelt.
It's raining outside.
So, I'm stuck here for awhile.
Don't think my umbrella will be any help in the rain.
There's a storm coming.
Wonder how bad it'll get tomorrow.
Tomorrow... in three hours, actually, it's be my birthday.
And I'll be 29.
Yey.

hmmm...

now what?

Actually, I've got a lot of stuff to do.
Wow! I'll be 30 next year.
Karen celebrated her 30th bday with the launch of her book.
Not a bad idea.
I've got a year to put all together.
But what's it going to be?

I have several things in mind.
It's just a question of what can be done in 365days, considering everyone else's schedule... and my schedule...

Avid replied to my email about Alamat's 7th anniversary. Said something about, after seven years, Alamat hasn't really done a "real comic book"-- "a book with colors and good lettering". :)
I wonder who he's referring to. :)
Anyway, that's a thought. To release Alamat's first full-color book.
Feasible?

Yes... if you've got P100,000. (And that's just one issue.)

So, where is that man with a million dollars?
It's been a running joke in our group, that one of these days a man carrying a black bag will come to us and for some inane reason will give us the bag and it'll turn out that it contains a million dollars. "Hey kids!" he'll drawl with a Southern accent, "I seen sketch'n some stuff there and I gotta say, like it. Here's a million dollars! Go make a comic book!"

We'll, we've stopped waiting and started working.
But it sure would be nice if he came along soon.

There's also the question of can I keep my sanity in this agency for another year?

Of course, that can only be answered next year.

Now what?

Well, whatever it's going to be... HERE WE GO!!!

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...

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 ...

The Mini Manifesto

LET'S BURN THE MAPS. Let's get lost. Let's turn right when we should turn left. Let's read fewer car ads and more travel ads. Let's not be back in ten minutes. Let's hold out until the next rest stop. Let's eat when hungry. Let's drink when thirsty. Let's break routines, but not make a routine of it. LET'S MOTOR.™ This is the copy for the MINI “Let’s Motor” campaign. The creatives who created this campaign said they weren’t just writing copy on how great it would be to own a Mini, they were writing a manifesto, a way of life for people who drive a Mini. I just love how the copy has rhythm, how it just flows and rolls off the tongue, how it just wants you to go out and drive and just keep driving. Makes me also wish I could write copy like that. More wonderful copy ads can be found at: http://www.libraryofmotoring.info/miniprintads.html
