The Power of Youtube

July 3, 2009 · Filed Under General, Marketing, Musings, Videos · 2 Comments

Back in the old days of tri-media and Jurassic buzz-building, you needed big bucks, a very talented PR manager and lots of luck to make it big in whatever it is you want to attain – be it showbiz, business or politics.

Today, all you need is a little bit of video editing knowledge, original content (or talent) and your good friend, Youtube to make it big. Of course, luck still plays a part in the equation but the power of the Internet makes it possible for normal people to showcase their talents and skills to the entire world.

Let me share with you success stories on youtube and HOW YOU can make the difference and start your own youtube marketing/hype campaign.

Swine Flu Now Declared A Global Pandemic

June 12, 2009 · Filed Under Blogging, Musings, Uncategorized · Comment

The WHO, after getting all the facts and coordinating with world experts and governments, has declared a Level 6 Pandemic on the AH1N1 virus, or commonly referred as Swine Flu.

But it’s not cause to panic. It’s not like the virus will be full throttle and be killing millions of people. In fact, ordinary flu kills more.

How To Stretch Your Allowance

June 4, 2009 · Filed Under Blogging, Musings, Toys, Uncategorized · 7 Comments

Here in the Philippines, we call allowance - baon.

Now that school’s already started, I thought I’d share with you some few tips on how to save and stretch your baon. You can either use the savings for gaming (buying stuff at the Item Mall) or maybe you’re saving to buy a new collectible toy, gadget or perhaps even a model kit. (like my hobby)

The choice is yours. What’s important is the experience and the discipline you’ll learn from the process.

Brand Name Fail

June 1, 2009 · Filed Under Marketing, Musings · 4 Comments

Being a marketer (and after attending scores of marketing and brand-related seminars), I know that your BRAND NAME is one of the most important factors to success. Having a simple, easy-to-remember, and “impactful” name will make your life easier when you try to sell it.

Think of these brands - Red Bull, Jell-O, Xerox and you’ll know what I mean.

However, there are some brand names that will make you go face-palm.

Check ‘em out.

Gigabit Speeds For Philippines This Year

May 30, 2009 · Filed Under Gadgets, Infotech, Musings · 6 Comments

When I was in Korea last year for my annual GStar game convention trip, I experienced Internet speeds that simply blew me away. If you think downloading 1.5 GB in less than 15 minutes is impossible, think again.

PLDT is gearing up to bring us these same speeds, possibly this year. In a news article at Inquirer, the telco giant plans “the most advanced broadband delivery platform called Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH), which will deliver high-speed data services to residences and buildings.”

Good friend, Rohan Brand Manager and fellow plamo enthusiast Keith “Daemonfrost” Morales and lovely “kumander” (wife) Meng are moving in to a new condo (which is nearer to the Level Up office).

Whilst prepping for the move, he brought his collection of Gundams to the office… and boy, were they filthy! A thick layer of dust gathered on these fine mecha. Whew! Made me sneeze just thinking about it.

I thought I’d share with you some of the pics. C’mon Keith, clean ‘em up! Cheers!
