This is space. It's sometimes called the final frontier.(Except that of course you can't have a final frontier, because there'd be nothing for it to be a frontier to, but as frontiers go, it's pretty penultimate...)— Terry Pratchett

Well, that was a crazy day.

Yesterday, was the NEW WORLDS: SCI-FI / FANTASY CONVENTION. Was running around like a headless chicken from the office to the venue. I had hoped to go on leave yesterday so I could man the booth, but NOOOOO! Three things just had to be happen yesterday and deadlines couldn’t be moved.

So, I came in the morning to do the flyer and the print ads. Then went to the SCI-FI CON to set-up. By the time I got there, Gerry already had his WASTED banner up and his book were on the table. Some people were already in their Starfleet uniform. At the X-Files booth, saw a very pretty Scully. (Wonder if her Mulder was lurking around the area.)

Noel and wife arrived. And soon after, Dave, Arvie, and Karen. With enough people at the booth, I rushed back to the office to brainstorm with BJ on PROJECT: CELINE DION…I’m not kidding. And yes, it’s as bad as it sounds.
So, was stuck in the office til 9pm working on that project. Went back and got to talk with Carl, Carlo, and Dave at McDo. Ryan was also there with his gang.

Around 11pm, after Karen got eliminated from the LOTR trivia game, we packed up and went home… well, they went home and I had to go back to the office to finish work on CELINE DION. (That just doesn’t sound good, does it?)

Hope to see STAR TREK: NEMESIS tomorrow or this weekend.

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...
