I got tagged by Carl: “Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about himself or herself. People who get tagged need to write a blog entry of their own as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to tag 6 people as well and list their names. Don’t forget to let them know they’ve been tagged!”


SIX WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME:

1
When I was a kid, I used to watch “Jennifer Slept Here” on RPN9. It was about a teen-age boy who suddenly discovers his house is haunted by the ghost of a beautiful blonde actress. I liked it so much, I pretended to have an invisible ghost friend—which lasted a total of one school day, because my classmates started to think I was a freak.

2
When I was a kid, I also used to watch “Hardy Boys” and “Karl Kolchak: The Night Stalker”. One day, I was reading a book about horoscopes and under “possible occupation” for Scorpios were detective or occult investigator. So, I was determined to become one or the other. Then I found out that detectives don’t really earn a lot and I decided to change my career path.

3
I cannot go to the toilet without any reading material. I need to be reading something while I’m seated at the toilet! I mjust have a book, newspaper, comic book, magazine—even an old one that I’ve already read will do. On one of my trips to Bangkok, I remember having to make do with a tourist map. I just kept reading the little details around the map. Crazy!

4
I have no sense of direction. I once got lost in my own village. If I’m traveling from one place to another, I’d rather take the long route just to make sure I know the way and not get lost.

5
Back in grade school, me and classmates tried to train ourselves to become ninja. I was able to get some book about “how to become a ninja” and we got ourselves some black clothes and masks and ran around school pretending we were invisible assassins.

6
I sometimes wonder if that random fat, balding guy I see (at the mall, on the street, in the next car) could be my future-self and he’s come to warn me about something. “Don’t! Eat! That…”

And I tag... everyone who read this blog entry.
hehehe

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
