Babbling Point

Tuesday, 10am
Still feels like my manic Monday has not come to an end.
It’s that time of month when instant coffee is my friend.
Damn, got no more cream.Back to black with some sugar. Got the old diabetes lecture from mom a couple of weeks ago.

Still haven’t gone back to the café since that last time. I haven’t gone to my café or Salta’s café. Just don’t want to feel any more worse than I feel now.

Have to start working on this wonderful flyer. Just need to warm up before I start writing how your life will change because of this and that phone. Wow! Yeehaaa! I’m so excited.

I really need to get working on that pitch for that publisher and hopefully she’ll choose one idea, just one story and that would make me happy. And hopefully, that would make me and the whoever the team will be very rich.

Told Dave about Nil and Gerry working on Superman. He was speechless for a couple of seconds. It’s really a big break for Nil and Gerry, to be able to work on a DC’s main character. Considering they’ve already had the chance to draw Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men, it’s only par for the course that they get to draw DC’s “big guys”. And maybe Nil will finally be able to do Batman and maybe even move on to JLA, if that’s what he wants. It would be nice if they can eventually do another creator-owned project and this time, do something with a Pinoy in it.

Or I should stop waiting for them to do that and do it myself.
Get to do comics again.

To write again.
To finish a story.
To see it drawn.
To have it published and read.
Ahhh… yes…

For now… I’ve got a flyer to do.

Later.

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...

The Flag Bearer I have always found it curious that in Philippine pop culture, there has never been a popular flag-bearing character. In United States, the obvious example would be Captain America; followed by Wonder Woman (with her red, white, blue and star-spangled outfit) and of course, Superman (whose costume follows the color motif of the American flag). They became symbols for the American people during World War II. In the days after 9/11, more New Yorkers were seen wearing their Superman and Captain America t-shirts. If we take a look at other countries, they didn’t seem to see the need to create such a character. Even when Marvel created characters like The Guardian (a Canadian super-hero) and Union Jack (a British super-hero), they didn’t seem to develop a big enough following and have comic book titles that reached the 100th issue or spin-off to become a TV or cartoon show. Here in the Philippines, popular characters like Darna and Panday are not “flag bearers”. I guess, ...

Will you Play it Safe in 2025?

One of my favorite songs which I learned about early this year. Our boss at the agency played this at one of our town hall meetings. It's reminder to all creators that we will always be told to "stick to safe ideas" (which is fine, if you just want to get the work done and go home) but there will always be this other voice at the back of your head that will ask, "Maybe there's another way to do this? Maybe there's a better way to tell this story? Maybe you can tell if from a different point of view and make this old story feel like new? Maybe you can spend a few more minutes working on it? How about it? Let's give it a try? Another hour trying to re-write? Let's give it a go!" What I love about this song is how the lyrics take on the conservative point-of-view and how the visuals show us the exact opposite. One of my favorite bits of this song is this part, where the lyrics starts to give you a "list of commands", like it's a list o...
