Our Vows, Our Oath

WELLA:
6 years ago, it was difficult to think we would end up here since we absolutely hated working with each other. Since we got together, I’ve learned a lot. You’ve introduced me to new things, you inspired me to rediscover drawing and learn painting, you made me start reading, you made me want to stay awake throughout a movie and made me eat more. But more importantly, you gave me a different perspective on life and love. I’d like you to know that because of you, I have learned to love unconditionally.

I LOVE YOU FOREVER. Today, these words that we always say to each other will be even more meaningful because this day marks the start of our forever. I promise to laugh with you when times are good and to just be there and hold your hand when they are bad. I promise to take care of you even when we’re old and grey. And most of all, I promise to continue being your friend and to love you even more for the rest of our lives.

BUDJETTE: 
Wella, my love, my life, my story

Writing is always a lonely task

Which is why I am so happy, so blessed to now have you as my co-plotter, co-editor, and co-writer

I know that “happily ever afters” are not found in first drafts

I know that it will take numerous revisions before we reach ours

And so I vow:

that even during life’s brightest days and blackest nights

when we are surprised by plot twists and cliffhangers

I will --with all my might—
rewrite and redirect our story towards our happy ending.

And this is the story I will write for the rest of my life.

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...

Will you Play it Safe in 2025?

One of my favorite songs which I learned about early this year. Our boss at the agency played this at one of our town hall meetings. It's reminder to all creators that we will always be told to "stick to safe ideas" (which is fine, if you just want to get the work done and go home) but there will always be this other voice at the back of your head that will ask, "Maybe there's another way to do this? Maybe there's a better way to tell this story? Maybe you can tell if from a different point of view and make this old story feel like new? Maybe you can spend a few more minutes working on it? How about it? Let's give it a try? Another hour trying to re-write? Let's give it a go!" What I love about this song is how the lyrics take on the conservative point-of-view and how the visuals show us the exact opposite. One of my favorite bits of this song is this part, where the lyrics starts to give you a "list of commands", like it's a list o...

The Flag Bearer I have always found it curious that in Philippine pop culture, there has never been a popular flag-bearing character. In United States, the obvious example would be Captain America; followed by Wonder Woman (with her red, white, blue and star-spangled outfit) and of course, Superman (whose costume follows the color motif of the American flag). They became symbols for the American people during World War II. In the days after 9/11, more New Yorkers were seen wearing their Superman and Captain America t-shirts. If we take a look at other countries, they didn’t seem to see the need to create such a character. Even when Marvel created characters like The Guardian (a Canadian super-hero) and Union Jack (a British super-hero), they didn’t seem to develop a big enough following and have comic book titles that reached the 100th issue or spin-off to become a TV or cartoon show. Here in the Philippines, popular characters like Darna and Panday are not “flag bearers”. I guess, ...
