July 23, 2004
just got home from the first Asian Strategic Marketing Convention...paid 500 for that..so was it worth it...hmmm...i dont know about the others, but for me, it was far more than another item to add to my resume..definitely...

of the 5 guest speakers, i enjoyed 2..well actually it should be 3, but the third one, this guy who started the island souvenirs shop, i didnt understand that much. a table, or should i say tables near us were just too damn noisy, i got so distracted that i only got parts of what he said...

it was really really rude, especially since he was actually a good speaker, if only given the chance. i was the one who got embarassed for those people beside us..i think he had a lot more to
say judging by the fact that he didnt finish the whole ppt presentation he prepared...and he kept
on repeating that the first time he recieved the letter from PMA asking him to be one of the speakers, he said yes right away because he remember this one talk he attended when he was still in college, which changed his life..he's got a purpose.. he was prepared.. he was determined to be what that guy from his college was to him (hmmm..that's a bit confusing...but i do hope you got that) but thanks to inconsiderate people...maybe he thought he failed himself...

people...sometimes they disgust me...tsk tsk tsk...

i wanted to go nearer so i can listen more, and just in case, if he'd just notice, i could show him that im really interested...but we weren't allowed to leave our seats. and the center tables were packed anyway, i dont think they'd allow me to sit on the floor...it's bad enough i appear underdressed, well, compared to fellow lasallians that is...i dont want to look like a beggar too

anyhoo...as ive said, i didnt get most of what he said..but the thing that i was able to listen to, like his backpacking days in Europe, his first attempt to have a franchise abroad, the San Francisco franchise story (actually, tin was the one who explained this to me, i didnt get it the
first time) it gave me alot of insights which i know someday i could use..

i just hope he'd repeat his speech, for a fewer people maybe, or not necessarily fewer, but at least have an audience that would be civilized enough not to do what those "kids" from the other
tables did.

^^*

i was so excited to have the opportunity to be in the same room with David Guerrero since i wasnt able to attend his seminar last Ad Congress (i think i was still taking a bath then..harharhar!). he was supposed to present the world's best Ads..

so you could just imagine my disappointment when the emcee introduced a guy whose name doesn't sound even close to David nor Guerrero.. i think tintin was gonna cry, although im not so sure if its because of that, or because she was also laughing at her reaction..

anyhoo, Mr. Ortega (im not really sure about this, but that's what i remember) took his place.(anlayo ng G sa O diba?? hehe!) his name sounded familliar the first time i heard it (and now ive forgotten about it.hahahahaha?! yun pala e) i just know he's also one of the big guys in
BBDO. (wait lang..isnt that actually BBDO-Ortega?? hahahaha! gawd...i know that piece of info is
in my brain somewhere...yoohoooo..)

anyhoo part two, he showed us the gunn report (no, that's no typo, the DVD showed double N too), its a compilation of the 100 best ads in the world. i enjoyed it..ALOT.. im looking forward in watching all the hundred ads, good thing DLSU is 2nd in the top5 schools who had the most number of participants..part of the prize is we could borrow the DVD..sayang lang, they wont allow the schools to have their own copies..i wanted to burn me a copy of it,im willing to shed money for that.

the ads were funny, it got the whole room laughing and clapping in delight..but most of all...they were BRILLIANT. after each ad, id go "ooohh.." "wow" "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" but before my sual "sound effects", id be speechless for a few seconds, awe-struck... well what do you expect, they are after all THE WORLD'S BEST.

i wish i could add a video clip of the ads here..i not that good in describing ads, and besides even if i am, it's still different when you get to see it, than have someone retell it..basta! *bow* super super brilliant!!!  

most of the ads were thai made...which well, made me think...is NEW YORK just overrated?? i can never tell, maybe one day, if i get to work there, id get to see for myself, that is IF i get to work...but for now...*bravo* to the thai people...im a fan...please make more ads!!

watching advertisements like those makes me all the more excited to work..i just HAVE TO make an ad as good as that, if not, better...even if it kills me!!hahaha! somehow..i hope i could...i want to be remembered in the advertising industry...i remember in our ORIENT3 we were asked to draw what we want to in the future...i drew a lot of things of course, but in one corner, there's a monitor, there you'd see a webpage on advertising quotes, of course you'd see words of David Ogilvy and the rest, then at the bottom..there's a quote..and just below it read..CIARA MOJICA! HARHARHAR!! yep, it sounds outrageous...crazy even..but who knows??

nina sing it with me...

..a girl can dream~~ ÜÜ

^^*

saw this while searching for a photo of Mr Guerrero...just thought i should share it..

quotable quote...

“Unless we know where we stand, we won’t know where we are,” David Guerrero

lalang...ai tin nahahawa ko sayo! crush ko na ren syaaaa!! 2nd David na ItU...Ogilvy and Guerrero...WHAPAAANG!! harharhar

^^*

Another speaker, was Ms. Pacita U. Juan, part owner of Figaro. this one surprised me..turns out, Figaro was 100% Filipino owned. i always thought it was one of those European cafés..well, that was what they wanted their customers to think so i guess they got what they wanted. (hehe...they're franchise packages go as low as 100K something...just so you know...so go to the site if you're interested..)

trivia...why figaro?one..because one of the partners is fond of drawing the letter F, the F of figaro was the favorite of the other partners so they made sure that they'd use a word that starts with the letter F..and since figaro is lifted from an Opera, it sounds European...or something like that. hahaha! i didnt get that other reason really...hehe!

anyway, yun nga...in a nutshell, her talk was about being young, dreaming BIG and living that dream, she made kwento (ui assumptionista? peace! hehe!) of how she spent her youth, gave tips and stuff. it was really inspiring.specially for someone like me...di marunong mambarat ng pangarap..Ü

she told us how she was the only one in the family who didnt take up a business related course in college, as opposed to her older siblings who took the path their parents wanted them to take.
she took up HRM, if im not mistaken, in UP diliman..she even shared what his father's reaction was ("hija, di naman kita mabibili ng hotel eh, anong gagawin mo jan?" or something like that..)all she said was, "ako bahala", and "just give me a chance.." *bravo*

she also mentioned that 20-30 is the best 10 years of your life, one, you can try out anything, two, you are allowed to make mistakes. you can try out every job in the classified ads if you want to, you can do anything you want, be anyone you wish to be, or transform from what you want to be yesterday to what you want to be today just like that! i never really thought of it that way, but if you think about it, she has a very good point. what better way to find yourself, to find out what you really want, than to try out everything first then choose later?? logical, right??

here's just one of her many tips that im sure to remember throughout my life: never allow yourself to be stuck in just one job,or anything for that matter, yun tipong you started there, then until the time you retire, you're still there..explore...you have the whole world, make sure that at the end of the day, you could tell yourself.."i love my job..i love my life" and actually MEAN IT.

she also inspired me to dream BIG, not that im not already doing that...as ive said, di ko tinitipid ang pangarap ko...i have one of the most ambiguous dreams i know...most people laugh, others think im a nutcase, but to hell with them...LIBRE LANG YAN!kukuriputin ko pa ba sarili ko???
but of course, i wont stop at just dreaming BIG dreams, as she said, one must never be afraid to reach that dream. life is short and you're only young once..use that passion before it fades.. for me, dreaming BIg is just the first half, the other is living it..she also said that whatever happens, dont let anyone talk you out of what you want.what the hell do they know? it's your life after all..i know it sounds cliché, but that doesnt make it any less true..people would tell you a lot of things for a lot of different reasons, im not saying that you shouldn't trust anyone...but i think before you could really trust other people, you must first learn to trust yourself.

i could go on and on about what i learned from her, how she inspired me in so many ways, but for now, let's leave it at that...and this one realization that i had after thinking ang rethinking about her 30min speech...adidas' new tagline is oh so true...

IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.

THAT has got to be the most challenging thing ive ever done in my life...

it came to the point that i really really wanted to stranggle someone to death..so please pray for me that i might not bite somebody's head off..orange and iron bars just doesn't work for me.
 

im bored..what's your excuse??

again..."the" vinci code...YON PALA EH!! GAWD! I think I need a break... (somebody hand me a kitkat..pls?Ü) my brain is starting to deteriorate...I haven't even started working yet...GAWD!

but of course there's still sooo much to do...so yeah cia, no sleep for you..again...(why am i so fond of talking to myself...probably coz im the only person who can understand myself...harharhar!again...barahin ang sarili...)

^^*

at my previous post..ive mentioned how i want to work for oprah...before it was like a joke between my sisters and me..i mean heck...i drool everytime i watch oprah episodes wherein she gives away free stuff, i most especially like the christmas and oprah's favorite things episodes...which she does every year...

things money can do...

i just hope im one of the studio audience...but of course, its no secret that whatever she has, or if she finds something "cool" (for an adult, she can really choose a helluva cool stuff)she also like give it to her staff so they too can try...gawd i want a boss like that...

but looking beyond shallowness...i really like oprah,as a person i mean...yes, she might be one of those tight-ass-bitch-of-a-boss types...and yes, her kindness might just be a front...being in TV and all..but after that episode when she went to africa, you know, to "bring christmas" to the children there...i just know, she has a heart...most wont even go that far...but she did...and i hate to admit this..but i actually cried as i was watching that...

call me sappy...crybaby even..but heck...i just love children..and seeing children like that, you know, those who basically have NOTHING AT ALL, then you just give them like a pair of sneakers and some new clothes, and their face light up and some just cry or just hug you...gawd...my eyes become teary just by thinking about it.

then there are those who has AIDS even as a child..AIDS to them is like flu to us...people die everyday...and its sad...gawd..AIDS yun e!

i dont know about you guys..but that episode really gave me goosebumps...its like, it reminded me that i have a bigger responsibility to the society...it made me think of the things that i have..most of which, i take for granted..then i see people whose days would be brighten up with just the simplest things...and i cant even be contented, thinking i have SO MUCH MORE...its stupid...i feel stupid...its like, there are days when it would take me like an hour to dress up..just because i cant seem to have anything that goes with this or that, or i spend so much time thinking should i wear this blue shoes or the lighter shade of blue shoes...then, in their case, they spend a min or two, not because they have prepared what they were going to wear the night before, but because there isnt much to choose from..sometimes none at all...its just heartbreaking...

i admire Oprah's efforts for that..she might not have saved the world, or attained world peace, but those few weeks she spent there with those children, its like...gawd! i cant put it into words...

that's why i want to work for her...isnt it better to work for someone you really want to work with/for...for me..its her. if given the chance, i want to be part of her staff..not just because i can avail of the free monthly spa inside her studio, but moreover, iw ant to be part of something that i think is worthwhile, something that can make my hard work seem worthwhile...i like what Oprah stands for.. i want take part in that...

so Oprah..if you're reading this...i can sleep with the dogs, its no biggie. hahahahahahahahahaha! yeah right..as if there's a chance that Oprah would read my blog...sure!

i know..you might be thinking..why not start here? why go all the way to chicago?honestly...i dont know...sorry for being so pessimistic...but after some exposure to current events, and some with real people...im starting to think...there's only an itsy bitsy chance that our country would change for the better, but somehow...most people wont allow it to happen.

i dont even wanna start to preach here...it might take me forever...i still have things to do, maybe not as important as trying to wake filipinos up..but for now, it'll do...

im bored..what's your excuse??

i had a new addition to my notebook cover...i made this butterfly but instead of drawing using just palin lines, i used the lyrics of mariah carey's butterfly..cool huh...i tried to take a pic of it...but its too blurry..ill scan it one day and ill show it to you guys..

yuck! so feeling artist...hahahahaha!

^^*

im gonna meet up with kat and elaine later..tigas! hahaha! i refuse to stay at home..and besides, i have 2 midterms tom..so..the more reason that i have to do something or ill feel so stressed come tom.

but a while ago, i had second thoughts about leaving. there's a man in the house (dont worry, he's a real man) i dont know him..but for some reason, everyone else does (everyone pertains to our maid, her sister, and i guess my dysfunctional tita) we weren't properly introduced. i had a glance of him as i entered the house yesterday. but as ive said, the pain was too much for me to even take notice or to find out who the F he is.

maybe he's our maid's boyfriend....hmmmmmmmm.....

anyway...good thing my cousin's here..so i guess, i can leave, someone other than me is gonna be here anyway..

im bored..what's your excuse??

"you're never too fat for a new purse." -nia vardalos

or a new pair of shoes!!


as much as i want to earn lotsa cash when i start working, the very thought of having my own money at my disposal scares me.yes i can save..the thing is, when i do have money, i tend to..well..spend..everything..

anyone who knows me can testify..i love to shop for bags and shoes..i even cried for a shoe once, and kat and i refused to talk to each other for a few minutes..all because of a bag.

would i grow up to be the next carrie bradshaw slash shoe gal?

^^*

this past few days, all my friends and i could talk about is what we would do after graduation, and since id be one of the first to become a bum, i pay close attention...as of now, i have set career options..and goals...(well what do you know, i actually learned something from orient3!)

im not sure..maybe i bore my friends to death with all the career talk, but after my bf announced he might be leaving (he's going to be interviewed tom.) i too became even more eager for the 'real world'..

*wish me luck*...or rather...*world beware*

im bored..what's your excuse??

im using the new PC..guess what color it is? BLAAACCKK! HARHAR! its meant to be....heheheheheheh! and we have a webcam and CD-R na! yahooooo! i love new technology...sorry old PC...its been nice knowing you..hehehe

^^*

we tried to catch trauma, the school black cat...to our dismay...sorry MJ..maybe some other time...

poor MJ, he got scratched...and poor cat...still living her name...hahahahahahaha!

^^*

Ms Mojica is soooo wierd...well, its possible that we're related..it figures...

^^*

ive once again been the topic of kat and layn's daily phone convos... lalang... kat told me how they notice that when i buy stuff, i really use my own money. as in i save and stuff...when i want to watch a movie, i dont eat one meal..unlike my sisters..who..well, pretty much just hafta ask for the extra movie money...

lately, that has been the story in this house..me buying my stuff, my mom buying all else..sometimes i even feel that she competes with me..she makes comments like (talking to my sister while im near)"ako, ibibili kita, maganda pa, yung original! di yung mga mumurahin na parang sa ate mo" and stuff like that...or show me the new sandals she bought for the two and tell me, "kesa bumili ka ng kung anuanong mumurahin...tamo to 150 mukang matibay" (but honestly...its hideous! haha! chaka 150 ren naman...haller!?)

fine, she has money and i dont...but still i buy my own stuff with the little that i have...dont i get any credit for that?

and she always makes nasty comments about anything that i buy...like im no good enough shopper..puhleez! im not about to take advice from someone who thinks looking like a losyang is in!

hay naku...parents...really cant get them sometimes... that's why im confident that i can leave this place and be independent if i want to...coz ive been one for years now.

haaay..a day in the life of a black sheep....

July 01, 2004
it’s been a while…

Thus the 3 blog posts. hehe! (fine i made the first one during rels class..) I know I can be Über wordy.. so stop reading…see if it kills me.

^^*

My mom’s buying a brand new PC

*HALLELUIA*

I saw the description faxed to my mom last weekend. my dad was even the first one to read through it, and he actually wanted a CD-writer too, since asked how much more would it cost to change the CD-R to a CD writer. Hehe! Burnophia here I come!

^^* <--world, meet my new divider. harhar

I was supposed to research for my RELSFOR take home quiz… so I ended up reading through other people’s blogs. hahahaha! what?! do you really expect me to do a real research?? what’s my desk encyclopedia for?!

well anyway, as usual, I’m amused by most of my ka-blogs’ posts. most of the time, I creep myself out, laughing all alone in a house full of dreaming, drooling sleepy heads. then there’s those deep and heavy thoughts… It helps to be reminded that just because I have problems, that doesn’t mean that im the only one who has.

There goes my dad…I thought he was already sleeping.. guess its time for his late night snack. Most of the time, when he sees me in front of the PC at this hour, he’d tell me to sleep. of course, I wont…but tonight’s different. Maybe he thinks I’m doing my HW, for a change… like that’s gonna happen. or maybe… he’s just hungry he didn’t notice me. good enough.

I’ve been meaning to make my last few months in this house as peaceful as possible. I do my thing with minimal contact with the parental unit. I go as I please but make sure I return before they do, to prevent the evident questioning afterwards. And it actually works. I’ve forgotten the last time I fought with my mom or dad… oh, no… wait… my dad and I had an argument just last week, but before things got out of hand, I rushed out of the car and stuffed my mouth with a spoonful of cold tinolang manok and rice. beats having a fight with my dad again and end up if not with an asthma attack,, a bruise or aching arm/leg/face.

Some might not know this, but I’m really used to that word ‘katarantaduhan’ since my dad is very fond of it whenever he’s talking to me. I joke around with my friends about it. I guess this is a good training when I get to work at an ad agency. I heard it’s not for the faint of heart… well, my mom and dad took care of that for me.

^^*

I found out last Tuesday that MJ was a cat person. Apparently, he’s that type who really buys cat food, or is concerned enough to even think of bringing his pet cats to the vet. it’s really cool. will he be the next catman…or catwoman… you be the judge. *spank* bad ciara!

I learned a lot about cats because of him. It pretty much changed my views on cats. I’m still a dog person though…

^^*

I slept almost the whole day today, only waking up to eat brunch and to watch endless love 3. oh come on… im sappy, im mushy, I enjoy chinovelas… so sue me! harhar!

Anyway, I expect to be up late tonight, or my eyes might rot of sleep. Gawd I love not having to go to school 5 times a week… especially in this weather… I’m planning to buy a new umbrella... something less flashy… black still is the best color for me.

^^*

A joke not worth sharing, but I think I still should acknowledge, just for the heck of it…

Q: What did the driver say to the cows that were blocking the road?

from the_paradox this is sooo cool


Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 46%
Visual : 53%
Left : 50%
Right : 50%

ciara, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.

You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition.

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.

With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.

Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional try it

just great… even this can tell how half-half I am…harhar!
