Advertising innovation

/ iamsupercarla / 2 Comments

As a commuter, I’m very particular with my bus experience.  I don’t really have that many choices, mainly because there are very few bus lines that travel to Las Piñas.  My favorites are Tas Trans and the one that starts with A.  Hahahaha.  Mostly  because their buses are new.

So on Sunday, when I was on my way home, I saw these fancy ads on the bus.  They were everywhere.

This is on the front cover of the headrests.  And this his how the back looks like.

And check out the television sets in the bus.  All wrapped in ads!

With this kind of traffic, I believe people will easily be encouraged to entertain themselves and be interactive.

So… who wants to advertise? :)

An interesting MRT ride

Had to grab the train for a photoshoot yesterday afternoon.  Naturally, the lines were long, but thankfully, the train wasn’t cramped.  I tried to keep myself entertained so I won’t be too conscious of the fact that I was already running late.  Hahaha.

Then two ladies hopped in at the Magallanes station.  And they proceeded to be my source of entertainment.

Lady 1:  Ang gandang buntis ni Juday.
Lady 2:  Oo, pero hindi na siya buntis ngayon!
Lady 1:  Kasi nga di ba nanganak siya kagabi, kay Ryan.
Lady 2:  Ang saya na ng pamilya nun no.
Lady 1:  Shempre. Tapos mayaman ka pa.

(passing by Karylle and Piolo’s Run for Pasig Poster)
Lady 2:  Ang ganda ni Karylle no?
Lady 1:  Saka sosyal siyang tingnan.  Para bang ang classy niya.
Lady 2:  Ex yan ni Dingdong e.  Yan yung pinalitan ni Marian.
Lady 1:  Pangit daw ugali nun eh.  Pero si Karylle mukhang mabait.
Lady 2:  Oo nga.

(after passing by Kris’s new Belo billboard)

Lady 1:  Tingnan mo tong si Kris, balik na kay Bicki.
Lady 2:   Pano, hiwalay na sila ni James.  Yun lang naman ang nakasira ng friendship nila e.
Lady 1:  Siguro si Bicki rin ang derma ni Junjun Binay.  Di ba sila ni Kris?
Lady 2:  Ay hindi naman siya mukhang nagdederma.

I love MRT people.  Hahahahaha.  Especially when they talk like this. :))

Here’s the challenge. Are you ready?

/ iamsupercarla / 2 Comments

A few days ago, a friend of mine presented a challenge.  To be frank, I really did try to comply, but I missed Day 3 last night.  I realized, I won’t be able to do it, until I announce it and make it official.

So here’s the challenge posed by a really good friend:

Do you think I can do it?  I’m starting to doubt it, but hey.  I’m up for the challenge.

I just restarted and made visible that site counter on the upper right corner of this blog.  To make this blog more interactive and more fun to visit, wait for 10,000 hit.  Better yet, make it reach 10,000 and see what I have in store for you. :)

So there.  Here I go.  The 30-day blogging challenge starts now. :)

The kings and queens of Promise

Like I said the other day, Dylan and I grabbed some Cheetos and watched The Legend of the Guardians at the SM Mall of Asia 3D theatre.  Like promised, here’s my take on the film.

When I first saw the trailer, I was immediately interested, mainly because the owls reminded me of Harry Potter’s snow white owl, Hedwig.  It’s quite unusual really, when you come to think about it.  Looking back on your childhood, did you really imagine that owls can be so fierce (and by fierce, I mean warrior fierce, not diva fierce)? 

Anyway, the film is visually SPECTACULAR.  I am going to be brave and say that it can rival Avatar when it comes to landscapes and settings and movement and detail.  It was so amazing.  And funny, because when we watched it, there was a kid in front of us that kept raising his hand, probably trying to touch the characters.  But his mean dad kept scolding him.  Note to self:  hate that kid’s dad.

However, the movie in general is just an average movie.  I think one of the main mistakes they made was having the same animal.  It’s a movie for kids, and unfortunately, kids have a hard time distinguishing personalities when they look alike.  That’s the reason why Lion King was of epic proportions; mention a character name and you’d know right away how it looks like and (better) what kidn of animal it was.

I am not discounting the fact that the story wasn’t rich with characters because it was.  Soren is the dreamer, the evident protagonist.  Eglantine is the youngest sister, the one that idolises Soren.  And if you have three kids there, there’s bound to be one that is envious and spiteful… hence, the existence of Kludd.

It’s the tragic story of Mudblood and Pure Blood.  Of course, it was narrated by the most animated narrator I’ve ever heard.  Just so you know, it’s an all-British cast, so when you bring your kid to the movie, be prepared to answer the question “Ano daw? (What did s/he say?)” 

I enjoyed the movie very much.  To be frank, even if the story didn’t blow to large proportions like the visuals did, it was still a very enjoyable family movie.  Guaranteed, you’ll fall in love with the female owls, go gaga over Eglantine, and just be awestruck when you see the perfect combination of flight and water.

And when your jaw drops because of the amazing theatrics, please give me a call. :)

Score:  3.5/5
