Cool Commercials: Thai “Bank Robbery” Commercial

This one had me ROTFL!
Thank you, Top Charoen Optical!

Cool Commercials: Burger King Transformers

I actually saw this commercial in LA during my California vacation. Given that me and my friends from the Philippines just watched the movie right before I got to LA, I immediately shared this with them.

For the other pinoys, check out this commercial we missed out on.

Cool Commercials: Halo 3 Mountain Dew

Product advertising has made vast strides in “watchability” since I was a kid, particularly in the Philippines. The problem is, unless it’s on cable (which is mostly localized), we don’t get to see the fun foreign commercials.

If I run into any, I’ll give you guys a heads-up. For now, I’ll start with the [...]

Perhaps I should rethink my colors…

The Explainer (ANC)

“The Explainer“.

It’s a show from ANC. At first, it seems like a letdown since the title feels so uninspired. Seeing the host try to position himself correctly on the screen and the display behind him doesn’t help. But if you hold on to your patience just long enough for him to start [...]

Lag! Arrghh!!!

Got 4 losses at Warcraft III this afternoon, 1 of them fair-n-square.  3 of them due to LAG!!!

What’s more annoying is, the lag somehow comes in either when we manage to win a critical skirmish or whenever we have an upper-hand!

Why, network gods?!   WHY?!!!!

Hooters!

In my trip to California last July, my cousins and I went to Hooters for lunch. Although it ain’t obvious from the pictures, the food there is actually pretty good. I particularly liked the buffalo wings.

Of course, there were other perks.

Friendly Reminder to Stretch Your Mind

Stuff like this comic (from xkcd.com) always knocks reality back into my senses. Sometimes the world is so effective in putting you in a box you forget that you forget how huge the space is outside.
