MURPHY'S DAY

Woke up and found out my rear right tire was flat.
And my spare tire was also flat.
So, I had both tires fixed only to find out that my rear right tire was beyond repair and had to buy a new one.
So, I got the new one and drove home to finally take a bath, dress up, and get some errands done.
When I walked back to my car my rear right tire was flat again!
So, I brought it back to the same repair guy who then told me the "pito"-- that rubber thingee/nozzle where you pump in air had already cracked due to wear and tear. And so I got a new "pito" and finally had four running wheels.

I then went to this upholstery shop along Santolan, because a couple of days ago, the driver seat of my car went on a permanent recline. Some metal bar snapped and I had to drive around the city lying down. After I got that fixed, I drove to E.Rodriguez to get some paperwork processed. When I got to the place, I discovered that I left my bag in the upholstery shop! So, I had to drive back there to get it and didn't get the paperwork done. On the way back, my car engine started to overheat, so I ahd to stop at the nearest gass station to put water in my radiator. Because of that, I also was not able to get my barong for Petite & Mark's wedding.

Decided to go to the printing press to check B72 and give it the go signal. The printer said some copy on the cover might get cut because its too near the edge of the paper. I gave them to go ahead anyway because the comic book has to be ready by next week.

It was already 7:30pm.
Drove to the Westine Philippine Plaza for the McCann Christmas party.

OLE! OLE! OLE! VIVA HARRISON!

After all that aggravation, I'm glad that we had a fun party.

Since this year's theme was supposed to be a "Latin Party", the whole Harrison decided to come as the Brazilian soccer team, complete with scream fan girls.

This year, the team was given two awards and several people in the team were included in this year's honor roll for doing outstanding work... me included. :)

I just hope that I can continue to do the work and do better next year. As the saying goes, "You're only as good as your last act."

Now, if only I can do as well in the realm of comic books.

Right now, my energies are focused in my work here in Harrison Communications-- at least I'm having fun (with it's fair share of frustrations).

Every year, the last entry in my journal is TO BE BETTER THAN BEFORE. I guess I've fulfilled that in certain areas in my life.
Right?

Anyway, it's 2am and I'm babbling.

Gnite.

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...
