Commercials vs TV shows

bakit minsan mas maganda ang mga commercials kesa sa TV shows? kaya nga ako nag-advertising nung college kasi nakaka-inspire ung mga concepts like Lumen, Karen, Smile, Magpakatotoo Ka, etc. e pag TV shows naman aabot pa tayo sa pang-ookray ng mga talents, settings, computer graphics, at special effects. e ang commercial, ilang segundo lang, paulit-ulit pa. pero wag ka, manghang-mangha naman tayo. tulad nitong bagong commercial ng Milo na napanood ko sa isang site.

o diba ang ganda? pang-champions talaga ang quality. sa TV shows naman maghihintay na lang tayo ng pagtatawanan o kakainisan. ang tagal tagal pa minsan ng transition porke mataas daw ang rating kaya kelangan patagalin pa ang story kaya minsan wala nang saysay sa kwento.

kung ako papipiliin, e di nag-congressman na ako. uyyy, kumanta. haha. GUSTO KO NA TALAGA magtrabaho sa industriya na dapat nandun ako. although masakit talaga sa ulo ang pagkokonsepto (trust me, naranasan ko yan nung college, daming issues!) tapos ilang segundo lang lalabas ang konsepto mo. eto pa, ang laki ng pera sa advertising ata! dami pang perks! hahaha yun un e.

pero sana dba mas maganda sana ang mga produkto sa TV kasi yun naman talaga inaabangan ng mga tao. e sales naman lang ang habol ng mga ads or retentiveness on the minds of the purchasers, consumers, etc. tapos nasspoof pa kaya lalong mas sikat ang mga commercials kesa sa TV shows. tapos nagkakaroon pa ng issues on copyright and intellectual property ek ek.

anung konek ng Milo commercial? wala lang. laking Milo din kasi ako e. pero gusto ko ding maging laki sa gatas. haha

They Aim to Guide Us Choose on 2010

so we only got more than a year for the next election. and personalities are already giving slight campaigns for themselves and we assume that ah, this dreams for a position in 2010. but do they deserve to be in that place? isn't it that we're tired of the same promises, programs and aims. we need the Obama of the Philippines that will bring CHANGE to the land. and please, let's stop all the crab mentality that's been lingering from the top positions of the country upto the smallest people.

now, a body that will guide us who to choose on the upcoming elections has been formed. the Coalition for the Deserving envisions to take us Filipinos to the better state of living well not maybe immediately but somehow guide us to choose the best leader for the next administration. it is formed by four parties: Aksyon Demokratiko, Reporma, Kilusang Bagong Lipunan and Bigkis Pinoy that will formulate a system that will screen our candidates on their qualifications and later on be DESERVING for the position they aim.

so what do we really need from a candidate? transparency, value, and effort maybe are the biggest factors that we consider. we should not be drawn to the person's popularity, wealth and connection on the political circle; if you are so fed-up by the current political system. i know you don't like what is happening there right? we really want someone who is DESERVING on that high chair to look and guide after us.

the Coalition for the Deserving is launched last Feb 3 2009 at the Manila Hotel, presided by Chairman Perfecto "Jun" Yasay along with the parties mentioned above. through them, we will be able to check on the candidates' winnability and fitness for office. and fortunately, we are able to throw in some questions about the group and they acknowledged the presence of the internet blogging community for a reason: WE HAVE A SAY. the community has been so influential recently.

spread the word so that everyone will be educated in choosing the next one. go to their website and sign up for your support.

Obamania in the 80's

Young Barack poses for fellow student @ Occidental College in Los Angeles , 1980.
Read captions below for more more info.

Chance Encounter
In 1980, when Obama was a freshman at Occidental College in Los Angeles , he was approached by an aspiring photographer named Lisa Jack, who asked him if he would be willing to pose for some black and white photographs that she could use in her portfolio.

Handsome
Of her first meeting (in a campus eatery) with Obama, Jack remembers only that "He was really cute. But what else does a 20-year-old girl remember?

Styled
In the photos, Jack says, "You can see he is just posing, initially, but as the shoot goes on, he starts to come out. He was very charismatic even then

Prop
Jack never realized her dream of becoming a photographer and is now a psychologist

Pose
Jack and Obama would see each other only a few more times while students. But in 2005, while on a tour, she spotted Obama on Capitol Hill and yelled hello. "He knew exactly who I was after all this time," Jack says. "I was amazed."

Doubt
On a dare from a skeptical friend, Jack decided to track down her negatives from the shoot.

Searcher
Initially, before she dug the film out from her basement, Jack never thought her pictures would have much life beyond her own darkroom

Smile
When she found them, the images of Obama "blew me away," she says. "I had no idea I'd taken a whole roll of film

Charm
For a while, Jack put the negatives in a safety-deposit box, so that they could not be used until after the election, when there would be no chance they could be used for a political purpose.

Thoughtful
Today, Jack says, she hopes the photos reveal a "spirit of fun and thoughtfulness

The Man Who Would Be President
"I'm not political," Jack says, "(But) these are historic photos and they should be shared."
