kick-ass copy

If there was ever an award for Best Copy on Packaging, I'd give it to Glaceau's vitaminwater.

I was standing in line at Krispy Kreme when I saw these multi-colored bottles. I picked up one, read the first line and was hooked. I stood there for a good five minutes, read all the copy on the all the bottles, and laughed at every punch line. The people behind me didn't seem all that amused.

Anyway, here are the ones that I liked.

ESSENTIAL: orange-orange (c+calcium)

ah, orange juice commercials. funny stuff, mom cheerily prepares some huge breakfast while the rest of her family sleeps. sure, this could happen, but every morning? please. maybe if mom were heavily medicated, in which case, we wouldn’t condone operating a stove or any electrical appliance.

for those of us who don’t live in an orange juice commercials, there’s still a way to get your morning nutrition. this product has calcium and lots of vitamin c, so you can get your day started right, minus the whole stepford mom thing.

vitamins + water = all you need

For best results, stick it in the fridge.

REVIVE: fruit punch (b+potassium)

if you woke up tired, you probably need more sleep. if you woke up drooling at your desk, you probably need a new job. if you woke up with a headache, on a ferris wheel at the idaho state fair, wearing a toga, you probably need answers, not to mentioned this product.

it’s got potassium and b vitamins to help you recover and feel refreshed – kinda like in those old irish spring soap commercials.

and if you’re like our boss, mike, and woke up married to an elvis impersonator, you probably need a lawyer.

POWER-C: dragonfruit (c+taurine)

legally, we are prohibited from making exaggerated claimed about the potency of the nutrients in this bottle. therefore, legally we wouldn’t tell you that after drinking this, eugene from kansas started using horseshoes as a thighmaster or that this drink gave agnes from delaware enough strength to bench press llamas. Heck, we can’t even tell you this drink give you the power to do a thousand pinkie push-ups… just ask mike in queens.

legally, we can’t say stuff like that—cause that would be wrong, you know?

vitamins + water = all you need

DEFENSE : raspberry-apple (c+zinc)

if you’ve had to use sick days because you’ve actually been sick then you’re seriously missing out my friends. see, the trick is to stay healthy and use sick days to just, um, not go in, and the combinations of zinc and fortifying vitamins can help out with that and keep you healthy as a horse. So drink up.

remember, don’t overdo it on the coughing and sniffling (big rookie mistake). Just stick with the ever elusive “24-hour bug.” the symptoms are vague and people will actually encourage you to stay home.

ENERGY: tropical citrcus (b+guarana)

in soccer (excuse us mexico, spain, and italy, we mean “futbol”), there isn’t a more exciting moment than when the announcer screams “gooooooooooal” (yelling “ooooffffsiddde” never quite caught on).

with that said, we added b vitamins and guarana to give you an extra kick (pun intended), so now when you’re watching soccer, playing soccer, coaching soccer, driving kids to soccer or doing anything that starts with “socc” and ends with “er,” you too can have the energy or a raving lunatic to yell “gooooooooooal.”

Budjette Tan 2023 update

Hi all! If you have somehow stumbled upon this old blog looking for something TRESE related, then you've come to right place.   Well... kind of.   Hi! I'm Budjette Tan, the writer of the comic book TRESE, which I co-created with Kajo Baldisimo.  You can get updates about the book over at https://www.facebook.com/TreseComics   I sometimes talk about the other things I'm writing about at https://www.facebook.com/BudjetteTanStories   And I'm also on Instagram, where I post about what I'm reading, eating, and of course about Trese https://www.instagram.com/budjette/   Over at Twitter, I'm just RT-ing and posting about comics, movies, and whatever else pops up on my feed https://twitter.com/budjette  I'm also on TikTok, but I don't know what to do with that account, so there's nothing to see there. And here's a picture of me about to enter a balate tree... it's not the Great Balete Tree and it did not transport me to another realm. But it wa
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
