Ako si Lolo Mario. At sa isandaang taong ng buhay ko, naging maswerte ako. Maswerte na ipanganak, tulad mo. Na mabigyan ng mga kaibigan at pamilya. Na mabuhay ng maligaya hanggang sa araw na ito. Ipinanganak ka sa panahon ng maraming pagsubok. Napaka-laki ng mundo. Napaka-daling maligaw ang landas mo. Bilang gabay, simple lang ang payo. Hanapin mo kung ano’ng magpapasaya sa’yo. Napaka bilis ng panahon. Huwag mong sasayangin sa mga walang kabuluhang bagay. At gaano man kalayo ang marating, huwag mong kakalimutan kung saan ka nanggaling. Sa haba ng buhay ko, nagpapasalamat ako sa bawat sandali na nakasama ang mga kaibigan at pamilya. Ngayon ko nakikita na hindi sapat ang isandaang taon –- kung nasa piling nila. Pinanganak ka para maging maligaya. Ang mga kaibigan at pamilya mo ang magpapakita kung paano. ENGLISH TRANSLATION  My name is Lolo Mario. And in my 100 years of life. I have been very lucky. Lucky t...

Market leadership, bigness with heart  Ads And Ends by Nanette Franco-Diyco Business World, December 08, 2011 http://www.bworldonline.com/weekender/content.php?id=42972 Ting Bongco, McCann Erickson’s associate business group director, hit it right on the head when he mused that practically everyone in our country knows at least a family member, relative, friend, neighbor or acquaintance who works overseas. And, truly, all of us realize the sadness that these overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families feel when they do not spend Christmas together. This indeed is the very reason why Coca-Cola’s “This Christmas, Where Will Happiness Strike Next: The OFW Project” is as good as it gets as a viral activation that hits your gut for this Christmas season. Beautiful scenes of the respective workplaces abroad, three very well-chosen OFWs who have been working in faraway places for over five years, with laudable reasons for not coming home to their loved ones, with ea...

Download the Slow Moving Millie track "Please, please, please" from itunes http://bit.ly/slowmovingmillie  The advert from John Lewis which everyone's talking about this Christmas. "For gifts you can't wait to give". There is something even more wonderful than receiving the perfect gift, and that is knowing you have found the perfect gift for someone you love. This year we have brought to life the feeling of excitement and anticipation you get when you have found that perfect gift for someone and cannot wait for Christmas day to arrive. "Our advert follows one little boy who is impatiently counting down to Christmas. We see him tapping his fingers, gazing out of the window, even trying to cast a spell on a clock to make time go faster, but to no avail. The track 'Please, Please, Please let me get what I want', was originally recorded by the Smiths, and has been rerecorded by emerging artist Slow Moving Millie."

Donald Lim, Managing Director of MRM Worldwide on convincing clients to go digital  ... [we need to] make digital simple for the brand managers, for the marketing directors. Digital marketing should not be digital… when it is presented to the top management. When they report to theirs bosses, it has to boil down to business results.  You have to remember that digital marketing is just one of the rules of marketing, and in the end it will always be about business results. How will digital marketing drive business growth, increase sales and awareness? In the end it’s about marketing metrics, not about page views, or the number of unique visitors... What’s important is, after doing all these, are we making a significant impact on the brand and I think any brand manager or any agency that can do that will be very successful.

When you hear that I have died, think of this by Gabrielle Bouliane Think of cool night breezes while you walk to meet your friends for a beer on a Thursday. Think of waking up in flannel sheets on a snowy morning and kissing someone you love. Think of hung-over diner breakfasts and the best cup of coffee in the world. Think of the sound of tires on seamed highways while you travel, think of French kissing and leather jackets and push-up bras and bourbon, think of the joy of hard work with friends. Then think of me. Not sad, not the melancholy solitude of empty skies, but the full days and crowded bars and signed contracts, a smile too big for my face, remember I said I stay busy enough to fit three lives into one. When you hear that I have died, know that I want laughter, and dancing, real dancing, to music that makes you move without thinking, you’re wearing boots and jeans and a great t-shirt and wondering if the girl at the edge thinks you’re cute. And...

I am a man, and men are animals who tell stories. This is a gift from God, who spoke our species into being, but left the end of our story untold. That mystery is troubling to us. How could it be otherwise? Without the final part, we think, how are we to make sense of all that went before; which is to say, our lives?  So we make stories of our own, in fevered and envious imitation of our Maker, hoping that we’ll tell, by chance, what God left untold. And finishing our tale, come to understand why we were born.  Clive Barker “Sacrament”

Joshua Tree Under the Milky Way from Henry Jun Wah Lee on Vimeo . "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you had better go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
