in behalf or on behalf?

This is Chi's sneaker.

a.k.a.

the first scene in my TV ad about values advertising...

with the tagline:

Marriage is like a sneaker's shoelace...

Blogger is in this Beta-mode lately, kaya tinatamad akong magblog. I forgot my Google password...but I'm blogging again...

Chi is here.hahaha. We're downloading HP6, at di ko pa cya nababasa, parang ang tagal na na-release nito ah. Looking for Screwtape Letters e-book, asa pa.

Okay, last week was bliss.

My birthday was last Tuesday, I celebrated at home.

Last Valentine's Day, we have a post-birthday celebration aka surprise party at my boardinghouse. Thanks Cy for the cake and the rest of the girls for the ice cream and the hanging letters. haha.

(Okay…the guy from Save the Last Dance 2 was right… Dreams change.

I always wanted to be an architect. Now, I wanted to be an advertiser. One heck of a good advertiser for that matter. I wanted to be the next Third Domingo…(okay, I’m gonna be… Fourth…Hernandez…sounds like Fort Bonifacio…whatever…haha)

Nagpunta kaming Letran para sa Adspeak last Friday, isang convention ng Values Advertising…gumawa ng ad a week before the convention…aka the source of our midterm grade…aka…nakasalalay sa grade namin sa competition ang certain percentage ng grades namin…aka…’we can’t just screw it up’…or else…

So there are almost 150 print entries, 60 radio ads, and 13 TV Public Service Announcements. I did one for TV. Got one out of a thirteen chance of winning, that is, considering only one will be declared as winner. But, they announced the last minute that there will be three winners, so 3 out of a thirteen chance, meaning 22%, assuming that my calculations are correct…(this is very Math2…)

So the radio winners are already announced, and they are great…especially the Sana Maulit Muli piracy ad…

And there’s only one team who for the print entries, the team that we really admire when we’re checking out the gallery…

To make the story short, Jessica won 2nd place for TV, and I got the first place. Ivy, Jerick, Weisa and Kiko knew it all along. Morning pa lang, inaasar na ko nina Kiko and Weisa. Ivy is so convinced that I’m gonna win. Pero walang tatalo kay Jerick. Morning pa lang, pina-practice na niya ang acceptance speech ko.

Jerick: Ano bang tama, in behalf or on behalf?In behalf or on behalf of my advertising class under Ma’am Agulto…I would like to thank…
Ako: Jeck, stop it…

Haha. Sometimes, it pays to listen to what Jerick is saying, as long as it’s not about songs…
(Nelly, dapat Just Like a Pill, or Everybody Hurts or White Flag ni Dido…huh..)

And I was so thankful of the one operating the DVD or the projector that time. Jessica was still upstage and thanking Adspeak. The person operating the DVD/projector thought that Jessica was already finished and the first scene of my ad (see the picture above) was shown for about 2 seconds, and Anelle saw it and said (or should I say shouted) Oh my god! Nelly, di ba ad mo yun?
Yeah.

When Jessica went down the stage, they played my ad, with that prominent Wouldn’t It Be Nice Beach Boys song in the background,…and all of us…I mean, all of us in the J151 class, and some of the J152 class members who knew, was smiling and shouting and cheering and when the host asked, anong school?

UP!!!

I remember Ma’am Agulto last month, when she was talking about Adspeak…

She said…

Class, __________ is joining, quote unquote, WE NEED TO WIN.

Ma’am we won.

OMG.
I need to produce a storyboard for Drysdale as our assignment.
And it better be good. Sort of the ‘Marriage is like a sneaker’s shoelace’ ad level.
