Hope
And the sun shines on Rey’s birthday.
Our new house, the Shelf, was flooded last Saturday, but the water was only ankle-deep (knee-deep if you’re a BJD) and it was gone in a few hours. Outside, Typhoon Ondoy tossed cars, destroyed houses, separated families, drowned loved ones. The skies cried with us for three days.
Yet, we must never stop searching for reasons to be happy. And when you find it, share it.
Rainbows After The Rain
Congratulations to Manikako for winning a bronze at the Spikes Asia, the Festival for Asian Advertising where the creative industry gathers in Singapore to celebrate the best work in advertising communications and marketing.
If you listen closely, the soundtrack of the AVP is based on Mistula’s latest song, Salamat Sa Iyo, Manikako. Isn’t that awesome?
To all the people who worked so hard to make Manikako possible, our hearty applause goes to you!
And cheers to our roadie, Rey, whose team bagged the Silver Spike for their Hate Late campaign. What can I say? We are full of win. 
Fragile Life
Last Saturday, a crestfallen Gabie called to tell us that Slash has passed away.
He was Manx’s pet and much-loved snake. When we moved to the Shelf, Slash moved in with Gabie’s boyfriend, Leo, who is also a musician (he plays the keyboard for the band Corporate Lo-Fi). Leo cared for the little green snake well; he bred fish so he will not run out of food, and even caught tiny frogs for Slash after Joey told him that an all-fish diet will cause thiamine deficiency. Slash lived with him for two years until he decided it was time to go to Paradise City, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.
Manikako Sunday, MAAD Sunday
Sunday was full of dolls – not only of the stuffed kind, but also of the ball-jointed variety. Lugosi and I met old friends – and made new ones along the way.
WHOA.
Make that double WHOA.
