My thoughts on my childhood as I see how some creatives use advertising on print I’ve had my own share of embarrassing stories, but there’s one thing that one of my aunties like to tell me: When I was a tot, I used to read Manila Bulletin (and I think I remember that). Fast forward to when I was a young boy living in a cool subdivision in Antipolo, there was this ad for Disney’s “The Incredibles” by Globe. It’s a full-page ad, placed in the back of the newspaper’s A section. The ad has a mockup of a newspaper’s page A3, but then The Incredibles pop out, “tearing” though the middle of the page. The bottom part states that mobile content for the said movie is available for download. ...

Hi everyone! This week’s photo set is all about Ikebanas. You know, those intricate flower arrangements that help beautify a living space. There was this exhibit by the Ikebana International Manila Chapter 108 in commemoration of its golden year of establishment. The exhibit was held at the Glorietta’s Palm Drive Activity Center (the more modest one) from March 10 to 12, and while I missed out on a lot, below are jut a few snaps from the said area. ...

Nope, I ain’t talking about the US NCAA Men’s Basketball championship here. As with the month of February, March has a lot of events for me at the company: Pasig City Women’s Summit (this Tuesday) Sales Leadership Masterclass with SOCO Selling’s Tom Abbott (this Friday, March 31) With those things at hand, I wasn’t able to post often here and on Facebook. Nevertheless, I’m hoping to see you at these events. ...

Who would’ve thought that there’ll be a high-class mall just beside the Mall of Asia? After I visited the first Gunpla Expo Philippines, I went to S MAISON located at the Conrad Manila accessible through the SM Mall of Asia and SMX Manila bridgeways. During my visit to S MAISON, they have an art exhibit featuring the art of Jonas Roces and Christian Tamondong among others. ...

Brace yourselves for lots of photos from the recently-held Gunpla Expo Philippines 2017 held at the Main Mall Atrium of SM Mall of Asia in Pasay. Gunpla this, Gunpla that, magsawa po kayo sa mga Gunpla. This expo (which did gain international attention) is probably a thank-you from our guys in Tokyo for having a lively Gunpla scene (before this, we already have qualifiers for the Gunpla Builders World Cup). ...

The members of the Philippine Bloggers’ Network (PBNet), having a post-event group pic. Content is king, yes, but you still need to talk to both humans and search engines to attract. Honestly, I’m in a school of thought that thinks SEO is no longer relevant and social media is the next big thing to gain attention. Over time, I realized I was wrong. At first, writing to search engines (search engine optimization, SEO) is like pondering to search engines because they have their own set of rules, whereas writing to humans (which is what I do at this very moment) has no rules and almost no boundaries. ...

“We know you’re excited over the continuations, but make sure you catch up on the preceding titles once again” Here’s the latest from Aniplus, who sends me emails about their lineup while I’m waiting for the channel to be broadcasted in the countr — holy snap, they’re in Kalibo?

Photos and snippets from Day 2 Live Viewing of Aqours’ First Love Live! at the Megamall View this post on Instagram Wow. Just wow. After μ’s Final Love Live, we got another live viewing at the Megamall — and thankfully, it happened on a weekend. ...

While I was on my duty for the Digital TV Summit for both the advocacy organization DTV Pilipinas and my company, I decided to give the org’s co-founder Kyle a visit. They had this family business called The Ketchup Club which serves hamburgers and milkshakes in a 70’s style environment. TKC’s highlight offering include their unlimited fries (additional purchase required), but I opted for their ₱50 burger a la carte, and it tasted good. I got treated to a carbonara and it tasted great as well. ...
