Last week I was trying to come up idea for my wonderful clients and was stuck. Since I was just sitting in Starbucks and was just rambling on my scratch paper, I decided to get a little help from my friends. I texted them and asked, "How has your life changed ever since you got a cellphone? What makes have a cellphone so good?" And these are their answers:


Because of caller ID, I can now ignore those I don’t want to talk to.

Traffic doesn’t frustrate me as much.

Coordinating with your wife/gf in a big mall is easier.

Kills a boring day.

Makes life more fun for flirts.

Shows you’re not forgotten.

Keeping in touch with friends that I don’t always see.
Round up people for movie night.

My friends keep changing plans.
And people spell bad.

Easier to keep in touch with people, ask for people to help
I've become more dependent on tech. Feel cut-off when i don't it.

Less hassle your plans.
Your friends are at the palm of you hands.
Helps with long distance relationships.
It's a Monitoring device.
No need to wait.
Easier to get in touch with friends.

When your in a comfy crowd and are just quiet and bored and don’t want to look lost you can text or play snake
Communicate with people over long distances more often, more conveniently

Stay in touch with people while I’m on the go.
Stay in touch with people who are too tedious to call but you don’t want to lose the acquaintance of.

My mom became more outgoing because of texting she felt like she was becoming closer to her friends without having to go through the hassle of going out when getting dressed.

My secretary in the office got more suitors because of.

And it bridged gap when he would be in the province while I was here in Manila.

Easier to coordinate gimmicks or events

I also get work done during “down times” such as when I’m stuck in traffic or waiting for my ka-meeting.
I can also pretend to be texting when a meeting bored me.

Life has become more spontaneous, flexible at the same time there’s more control when it comes to socializing and planning gmiks of course many times I’ve become a slave to it when it comes to work.

So now there’s no distinction between office and family or leisure time. But the question is, is this good? Answer—it depends, it may or may be. I’m on call 24 hours, meaning office can reach me even beyond office hours and family can call me even when I’m at work.

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...
