Safe Mode

Safe mode ang pc ko ngayon. Sira kasi ang video card ko. Ibig sabihin nun:

- walang sound
- walang matinong video
- walang games
- lalo na Spore(TM)
- walang naruto shippuden marathon
- walang prison break marathon
- walang usb support
- walang scans
- walang drowing

- walang magawa.

Kaya binago ko na ang presentation ng blog ko, dating template na ngayon ay layout. Pero dapat pareho pa rin ang itsura. Kaya ang advice ko sa mga magma-migrate ng blog templates to layouts:

WAG. Unless handa kang sumakit ang ulo sa kaka-edit > save > view nang paulit ulit, habang iniintindi ang blogger layout tags.

Pero masaya na ko dito. Hehe. Saka ko na aayusin lahat. Sa totoo lang ang habol ko lang naman talaga sa layout templates e yung 'Older Posts' at 'Newer Posts' na lumalabas sa baba ng blog. Yun, tsaka yung tree-style na Archive view.

Bayanijuan

Twing nakikita ko 'to sa tv, binabasa ko 'to ng tatlong beses. Bawat ulit, iba ang kahulugan.

BAYAN-NI-HUWAN.
BAYANI-HUWAN.
BAYANIHUWAN.

At pagkatapos, sasabihin ko na naman sa sarili ko,

"Ang galing talaga ng nakaisip ng pangalan na to."

Gusto ko rin makaisip ng ganun. Hehehe.

The Oreo Commercial

..where the kid is on a video call with his dad, for me, is one of best commercials ever made. Why? It's because its so damn ordinary, yet it managed to tell its viewers THREE strong ideas about eating Oreo:

1. Oreo is for all ages

We have seen this concept in a previous Oreo commercial (i.e. father teaching his toddler son how to eat an oreo cookie). The idea is presented again in this ad, this time father and son are eating at the same time. Oreo isn't just for kids; you are never too old for Oreo.

2. Oreo is everywhere

They are in a video call. Webcam, over the internet. Across the globe. You can find Oreo and buy a pack anywhere in the world (or at least where there's internet access.. hehe)

3. Oreo can be eaten any time of the day

"Good night, buddy"
"Good morning, dad"
Early in the morning or just before bedtime, you can eat Oreo any time of the day.

Cool, isn't it? All three of that with just six words of script. A good example of a well-thought-out advertisement.

You might say I'm being too analytical about this. I'm not (although you have to admit that the commercial IS cool hehe). I'm just fascinated at the way humans find means to persuade other humans.

Now I'm wondering if a career in advertising would have worked out for me. Hehehe.
