Hi everyone! Here's a recent TVC I worked on for MTV & Philippine's Dept of Tourism. Hope you all can check it out! Cheers!

A big congratulations to my friend Apol Sta. Maria for being included in this year's D&AD for this ad CHILDREN ARE COLORBLIND

Yesterday was a pretty interesting day. Went to grab some lunch over at Aston's in Cathay with Nicc. Then we went off to Singapore Expo for this anime cosplay event thing. There were lots of people but majority of the booths setup were selling the same things. Most of them art prints and other related material. There was a Naruto group that had 47 cosplayers but we didn't catch their part on time. By the time we went in, they were almost finished. We grabbed a few dimsum before Bel and I decided to go back to Cathay and go watch a movie. I wanted to watch Nick and Noah's Infinite Playlist but she wasn't that much interested in it so we ended up getting tickets for All About Women thinking that it was The Women. We only realized that it was a different film from what we thought when we reached the 5th floor in the cinema and saw a poster. It turned out to be an entertaining and hilarious chinese film so it's all good.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Watch this Family guy episode wherein brian smells quagmire come from manila and making love to 2 filipino women... and a man... LOL :D it's around the 5:48 mark.

A lot of the TV series I follow are back with new seasons. I've already watched the latest episodes from Prison Break, Heroes and Grey's Anatomy. The premiere episode of Chuck's 2nd season's just out so I'll be catching that one soon. I've been watching too much TV (although not technically since I watch it on the laptop) lately that there are times that I start to predict some of the lines that some characters were about to say. But all's good and I'm really glad that all of these people behind all the series are coming out with quality episodes that makes you come back for more each week.

Congrats to AJ Dimarucot for winning the $10k grand prize for the DesignByHumans t-shirt design contest!

Sept 18
Most of the people in the office were on location for a shoot. Went home early and did some laundry. Watched the 90 minute Amazing Race Asia season 3 episode followed by a couple of different shows which was the cause of us sleeping late.

Sept 19
Had only about an hour of sleep then went to the airport for our early morning flight. Special thanks to Tito Krik who fetched me at the airport. Had to do some errands with regards to my credit card but ended up just wasting time due to a bit of complication. We went to the momo house and hung out there for a while before going to tsiken inasal for lunch and to half moon bibingcrepe for dessert. After that, i was on the road for 5 hours because of the heavy traffic. Reached mogwai in CubaoX around past 10pm already. Pablo was already closed by that time. Too bad I wasn't able to check out the frailty exhibit which was one of the things I wanted to do during my short stay in Manila. Since we had a late lunch, I decided to go light for dinner and went for their squash soup that Gabie recommended. Then we all moved to Krik's studio for the light painting photo shoot that lasted until 3am. I went ahead to grab a few hours of sleep in preparation of another early morning wake up for Graphika Manila.

Sept 20
Was at the event location early since Bel had to prepare for her hosting duties. The event was insightful and the speakers were also good presenters. Both international speakers (Simone Legno of tokidoki and Kristophe Vergne of Pixar) were really cool guys and are very willing to share their experiences from when they were just starting out to how they got where they are now. Hanging out with all there creative minds is a real treat.

Sept 21
Had lunch with my family at Greenbelt and went to check out the prices of HD TV's over at Anson's nearby the area. There was one huge ass HD TV worth 2.5 million pesos. But the 30" to 42" ranges from 60-100 plus thousand. I'm saving up to get one in the future. That and a PS3 :) I slept a bit during the afternoon before going off to fresh manila for the tokidoki signing event. There were lots of people lined up outside by the time we got there and Aram and Ella still weren't around so we decided to hang out at the newly re-opened Cow King. Patrick soon followed. I tried their new thai bagoong rice and bel sticked to their sirloin tips from the old menu. After that, we went back to fresh manila and hang out there until the signing was finished. I got Bel a Sandy plushie and Ella gave her a Sandy vinyl toy.

Except the first 6 runaways digests, these are some of the comics I purchased during my stay in Singapore so far. I'll be going back home to Manila in a few days and I'm going to bring home those I've already read so that I can lessen my baggage load a little by the time I decide to end my stay here.
