The Happiest Day



It started out like any ordinary day. We were walking down the road and soon discovered the path that lead to the Happiest Day.

That was the day Wella told the kapre that if he didn’t stop smoking, he’d end up with ugly, dirty lungs and bad breath. That was the kapre’s happiest day.

Because of that, the kapre let us climb up the magic tree, which lead us all the way up to see all the pretty cities and towns and shopping malls.

At the top the tree was the biggest outlet store Wella has ever seen (which was offering 50-70% discount on all items –not just select items) which was one of the reasons why it was the happiest day.

Travelling from shop to shop, they rode the Gold Leaf Express that came with an app that lead them to the best bargains -- which was one of the reasons why it was the happiest day.

After all that shopping, they bought a plane from the Intermediate Pad Store and flew away, up and away, past the clouds and followed the comets that were late for work.

On the galactic disco floor, they were challenged by the Interplanetary TransGalactic Robot Troupe to a dance off. They didn’t expect Wella to have such killer dance moves, which earned her a medal made out of stardust (which matched her outfit) -- which was one of the reasons why it was the happiest day.

The robots gave them free passes to Z-World, a planet that was actually a giant zoo that didn’t really have cages so it wasn’t really a zoo but it had a lot of animals. On that happiest day, they met the TriByrds that sang karaoke tunes and they knew all of Wella’s favorite songs.

While touring Z-Planet, they met Mr. Jarvis Ianthorpe, who gave them the best seat in the house to watch the setting of the twin suns and got them the best tasting frozen sea urchin in all of Z-Planet.

It was also in Z-World where they met the Hepto-opti-bicorn (but Wella just called him HepHep).

HepHep flew them around his world and flew in loop-the-loops which made them yell HOORAY! everytime he went round and round.

He also brought them to the best isaw place in Z-World, which gave free isaw to all birthday celebrants -- which was one of the reasons why it was the happiest day.

HepHep introduced them to Elbert the DinoMan, who lived in DinoWorld, Z-World’s next door neighbor. Elbert had the funniest Knock Knock jokes, which made Wella laugh so hard she summoned a pod of dolphins -- which was one of the reasons why it was the happiest day.

Elbert the DinoMan lead them to a swamp and told them of the secret passage that lead them a secret entrance of a secret cave.

(Art by John Amor)


In that secret cave was a billionaire playboy who dressed in black and had a lot of cool toys.

They played hide n’ seek with the billionaire playboy and borrowed his toys. Wella borrowed this shiny accessory that was just lying on the table.

The shiny accessory had candy (well, it looked like candy), which they ate and transformed them into Mr. Gigantor and Ms. Universe.

With their superduperpowers, they flew back to Earth, where they finally turned back into their normal selves, but that was okay, since it was such a happy day.

Such a happy, happy day filled with adventures, meeting new friends, and shopping!

But my happiest day was the day I gave Wella a ring and she said, “Where’s my iPhone?” (Thankfully, she still accepted my ring, my love, and yes, I even gave her an iPhone.)

Happiest Birthday to my co-adventurer and co-pilot, my happiest love!

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...

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

the sons and daughters of Kanlaon

Last Friday, we attended the 40th Anniversary of KBS, the Kanlaon Broadcasting System, where my mom and dad once worked. I was still a baby when my dad worked there. I barely remember the people there. One of the first people to greet me was Lando, my dad's old driver. Him, I remember. As the story goes, when I was a baby, I could not pronounce his name and just started calling him "Agoong". Hence, he got that nickname and that's what everyone called him. I remember how we used to play chess while waiting for dad to finish work and how I always forced him to make me win. (Makes me wish I forced him to teach me how to play chess better and learn how to not win things so easily.) As expected, as my mom re-introduced me to her old office mates, they all looked surprised and delighted to see me. They would then immediately extend their hand, palm down, and show me how small I was when I first met them. Some would pretend to carry me and tell them they were the ones who ca...
