It's 4:27 am and I'm still at the office when I shouldn't be.
Don't ask why.
Well, of course I'm here for work but... nevermind.

Flasback 24 hours ago...
Went to the launching of Jessica Zafra's FLIP.
Got drunk on two bottles of red wine thanks to a certain writer, who is also, currently, undergoing a "Oh my God I'm turning 30 this year" crisis! Otherwise known as the
"Tick... Tick... BOOM!" syndrome.

Got to watch that play last Saturday, thanks to Telly. Watched the play with Brandie, Roach, Grace, RG, Jason, Tina, and of course, Telly. Strangely enough, the play made me "calm down". Made me realize that 30 will pass me by and all that will matter is if I worked on "the work" or not. I think that as long as I get to do and keep on doing what I want... to write stories, then timelines won't matter, because eventually I'll get it done. Finish my story. Get it published. Get it done.

Anyway, back to the launching of FLIP.
I missed Rex Navarette's routine because I was at work.
By the time I got to the Mandarin ballroom, Radioactive Sago Project was already on stage.
Bumped into the usual suspects.
The guest list that night looked like a compilation of Twisted on a Sunday guests and co-hosts.
I think the only one I didn't get to see was Jedi Jobert.

I got to hang-out with some of the people, moved from group to small group, had my picture taken with Rex, found out that two or three of the guests were also planning to put up their own magazine, got some interested behind-the-scenes stories from the movie "Gamitan", and as Bing's Band played their last songs, I got dragged by that writer to one corner of the room where we finished the two bottles and ranted about turning 30. Her friends, who were both over 30, heard her rant and came over to console her. One of them said that 30 was her best year. In fact, she celebrated her 30th birthday with a debut.

Jessica shoud have set-up microphones at different areas of the room, recorded the conversations, and maybe just play it when Twisted goes back on air.

Well, it might be some time before she goes back to radio.
Looks like she'll be very busy with FLIP and from the looks of things, she's having way too much fun doing this.

And Jessica's plans for world domination conitnues...

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
