Disclaimer: I don't watch Naruto. But my friend told me to watch this video. And I liked it. I love the song, and I like the video. It Ends Tonight by the All-American Rejects Your subtleties They strangle me I can’t explain myself at all. And all the wants And all the needs All I don’t want to need at all. The walls start breathing My minds unweaving Maybe it’s best you leave me alone. A weight is lifted On this evening I give the final blow. When darkness turns to light, It ends tonight, It ends tonight. A falling star Least I fall alone. I can’t explain what you can’t explain. You're finding things that you didn’t know I look at you with such disdain The walls start breathing My minds unweaving Maybe it’s best you leave me alone. A weight is lifted On this evening I give the final blow. When darkness turns to light It ends tonight, It ends tonight. Just a little insight won't make this right It’s too late to fight It ends tonight, It ends tonight. Now I’m on my own side It’s better than being on your side It’s my fault when you're…
Gift Boxes
Last Saturday, as part of our campaign to increase awareness for my aunt's bakery and refreshment parlor, I busied myself with preparing gift boxes filled with pastries. We then gave these gifts to some of our blogger friends with the hope that they will like the potato rolls, the slice of apple pie, and the banana bar inside. Here's some pictures of the boxes lifted from one satisfied blogger's blog: So why bother with all the hassle? Because we believe in the value of advertising in blogs. Actually, it's not really advertising per se since we don't pay the bloggers anything, and they are not required to blog about it. But you get the idea... I think. Mam Bebs Bakery and Refreshment Parlor is located at the first floor of the CVA Building, along CM Recto (formerly Claveria Street), Davao City. For inquiries and orders, call (6382) 227-8131.
It's a Sunday but…
...I'm working online. Ganito na talaga life... trabaho kung kelan pwede, kahit pa dapat magpahinga. Work hard, play harder!!! GG!!
Linkin Park's What I've Done
What I've Done by Linkin Park In this farewell There’s no blood There’s no alibi ‘Cause I’ve drawn regret From the truth Of a thousand lies So let mercy come And wash away What I’ve done I'll face myself To cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done Put to rest What you thought of me Well I cleaned this slate With the hands Of uncertainty So let mercy come And wash away What I’ve done I’ll face myself To cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done For what I’ve done I start again And whatever pain may come Today this ends I’m forgiving what I’ve done I’ll face myself To cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done What I’ve done Forgiving what I’ve done
Why Companies should Advertise in Blogs
The very successful Taste of Asia / SM Hypermart Event gathered at least 150 bloggers and gave them an experience that they are not required to blog. But most of them blogged about it anyway. Why? Because it is bloggable. Jayvee Fernandez assesses that SM saved a lot of money by doing an online campaign rather than a traditional advertising campaign. What's more is that SM seemed to reach a wider audience, and by pleasing bloggers, earned greater buzz than they would have had they resorted to traditional advertising. Alleba agrees on this point. He asserts that online campaigns cost much less but have bigger multiplier effects. So why do companies have to advertise in blogs? Simply because bloggers are seen by their readers are real people with real experiences. Precisely because bloggers are not professional writers (most of us are not anyway), or critics, readers believe them more. Their being regular people gives them the power affect how other regular people think and choose. Emerging companies, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who wish to lug it out with bigger, more established companies, should really consider doing online campaigns rather than traditional advertising campaigns.
