Something's wrong...

Somehow or rather...i've been bothered lately...something might or might not be happening...but it just doesnt feel rite, and i've gotta admit i dun exactly have the guts to speak my mind sometimes...despite how some might think otherwise...

shall try to put my smile back on...though being an facially expressive person means i cant hide things and emotions well..oh well..we'll see how it goes...



"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived. "

William Parrish from "Meet Joe Black"

COM 443: A Reflection for Advertising #2

Despite being through only half of the semester, I can honestly say that I have had a taste of what it is like to work in an advertising firm (even if its an very amateurish one at that...). The process of coming up with an advertisement, from the research, to the idea development and finally execution have taught me much, even if my group did not do as well as we could have...people have been dissappointed, people have been discouraged, but we'll learn to pick ourselves up...

On another note, our last advertising class had a guest speaker who used to work at one of the big advertising companies...one word...enlightening! He lectured on how the advertising world, or how the corporate world works for that matter, and cleared some misconceptions about advertising, especially about how an advertisement or advertising campaign comes about. Very enlightening, enjoyed it thoroughly...

After the short respite, we at Spatiality have gotten our next assignment. Let's hope this time we will not mess it up...lets do it well guys!

COM 443: A Reflection for Advertising #1

Of all times when I decide to update my blog again, it coincides with the timing that I have to blog about my thoughts with regards to my current advertising class. So here goes...

Well, first I have to say that this is definately one of the toughest courses i have taken since studying in UB, but its good because then i get actual hands-on experience on what the world of advertising (and perhaps the corporate world for that matter) holds for me.

Good fortune has shined on me so far with group members who are not only intelligent, but are complimentary in ways that make the group whole, and most importantly, good group dynamics. This is important i guess in making a team successful, a good and balanced cohesive team. Although my professor has said something enlightening...that a group that is too agreeable is not exactly a good thing...Anyway, my advertising group and I would like to present to you...Spatiality! Every space is our specialty!

Unfortunately,with the good, comes the bad. And so in order to ensure that we have a comprehensive theoretical knowledge, my dear professor has thrown us with 3 exams, with the first one juz a couple of hours away...and 7 chps at that...good luck to us all..

Perhaps it's because i am now in this course, I am looking out more for interesting ads that might prove to be an inspiration or idea(I will be careful not to plagarise...), and there are really some good ads around, as well as some flops. Looking forward to comparing some of the ads which we students have submitted earlier last week, I really want to see for myself if my evaluation skills for ads is anywhere near decent...

Until the next reflection...
