August 12:
My workload is killing me softly.

Look! 1 ï 2 ï 3

(I hope you guys aren't getting tired of this Mirror Project fixation.)

*haha, 10 points go to Junnie for spotting the new pics before I could even post about them here!

Killing Me Softly has been playing in my head for days. Can you guess why?

*It may also be in reference to my current killer workload.

I made fun of the Holland Sausage mascot in this blog before and I thought that the madness stopped there... until I saw this at their Greenbelt outlet:

So -- if I were to put on my advertising-creative hat, based on this artwork I would say that their brand strategy could be either of the following:
(a) Holland Sausages are so good that cows don't mind eating them (even if what they're chomping on could be all that's left of their "lost" cousin); or
(b) Holland Sausages are made only from cows fed with Holland Sausages (a controlled two-step food chain, in other words).

Sausages slathering catsup and mustard on themselves can't be well in the head.

*Arnold wants you to know that he loves to eat there (because of the man-size servings) despite the bizarre decor.

Forget "Dweezil" (he's so 80s ha), it seems that Manila's rock stars -- well, the ones I know anyway -- are catching up with their foreign counterparts in giving their offspring interesting names. Here's a sampling: "Una". "Atari". "Eon Dracula". "Veda Luna". "Keoni". "Akira". "Kaio". and, the latest addition to the kiddie-rocker party, "Awit". I wonder how many of them will follow in their parents' footsteps (and hopefully come up with band names more creative than their given names).

Arnold and I would like to congratulate this year's Palanca winners, especially Luis K. ... again?! You the man!

It's almost as bad as the Weinerschnitzel (http://www.wienerschnitzel.com) commercials, where the chilidog mascot (supposedly, America's Most Wanted Hotdog - ick!) runs away and screams bloody murder. What the hell? That can't be enticing at all...

Hi Cynthia! That's a really weird one. I also find that big sausage decoration freaky. Parang it's freaking out to you "Eat me!!!" Nyaaar.
