2:34am
still here

Found Clarissa's blog through Mark's links
Reading her blog
makes me miss college life so much
suddenly remember what Batch72 is all about
all that fun
all that angst
all that... nothing

reading Clarissa's entries reminds me of how... "profilic" I was back in college
Back in the old days (said in grumpy old man's voice) we didn't have blogs...
we wrote stuff down on paper
and use ballpens that made a mess on your paper
Actually, I still keep a journal
which is my "paper life" is now divided in my journal and in my blog and in the emails I send to friends
It's funny how I sometimes read my college journal and discover that I actually knew words which I don't use now
that I actually sounded intelligent back then
and that I actually suprise myself that I was capable of such "deep thought"

ugh

i'd like to blame txting for my devolution

or maybe it's like in the agency
plus two years of writing nothing but cellphone copy

ugh

Frustrated artists

Also found this guy's site from Gerry's message board

Good stuff

too bad he has no place to show off his stuff

at least he's got the web

but like every other comic book artist out there

they want to see their stuff on print

And I still have three more issues of B72 to go.

Work.

Work, damn you, work!

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
