Who You Gonna Txt?!

Here's the text-thread of my conversation over dinner:

FROM NIKKO: Hi budj, do you still have the number of your friend who can communicate with the supernatural? I need a second opinion on our old mango tree. Thanks!

FWD TO JEDI JOBERT: It's wonderful how one can get a text like this and it's just so normal > Hi budj, do you still have the number of your friend who can communicate with the supernatural?I need a second opinion on our old mango tree. Thanks!

FROM JEDI JOBERT: hehehe... nothing like good time like the old times. Tell your friend I sense two trees, not just one. But that's the most since I don't deal with elementals. I'm just plain vanilla dead people. hehehe

FROM ME: Hahaha! Is that it works? So, you just see dead people. You don't see duwende and tikbalang?

FROM JEDI JOBERT: Haven't seen one, felt one nor bought one... I think that's another plane ofn existence. That's why you never hear of a house that has a dwarf and a ghost at the same time.

FROM ME: Ahhh! True! But I've heard stories of a diwata and a dwarf dwell in the same area.

FROM JEDI JOBERT: Yeah. Elemental plane so same point. Just like having two ghosts. The only thing that can transcend these planes are angels and the counterpart.

So, I sent Jedi Jobert's reply to Nikko and got this response.

FROM NIKKO: Thanks Budj! My father cut down the other tree, not remove, pruned significantly. We were told we're being guarded. That our bantay (guardian elemental) is keeping us unsuccessful. A lot of weirdness I'd like to clarfiy. Thanks again!

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...
