TOP 10 VIDEOS
Based on Music One and Tower Records videos sales from February 1, 2005 to January 27, 2005.

1. Asia Agcaoili's SEX GURU
2. Exotic Belly Dancing
3. Imelda
4. House of Flying Daggers
5. Meet the Parents
6. White Chicks
7. Magnifico
8. Catwoman
9. Man on Fire
10. Passion of the Christ

Looking at the list, it seems like they gathered their info by travelling back in time. How can this be the record of videos sales from February to January? Maybe Music1 and Tower use a different kind of calendar. Maybe it's a musical calendar?

It seems like lots of Pinoys got the "Sex Guru" and "Exotic Bellydancing" videos in order to prepare for their Valentines dates. Later on, they felt guilty they ever went on that date and decided to get "Passion of the Christ".

Then there were the poor saps who decided to get "Catwoman". Why? WHY?! Would would they do something stupid like that? Maybe they couldn't get any dates during V-day and just decided to watch Halle Barry's CG-double bounce around.

Goes to show you'll never what's going to become a best-seller.

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.
