LOVE lovemarks.com

I just found this website called lovemarks... it is a site similar to digg but you basically vote whether you like it or hate a brand instead of something online... it kinda also lets you see how something can be a brand... even a person can also be a brand as their personality or choices or style is their brand... this site is based on a book of the same name by someone from Saatchi & Saatchi (this is one of the world's biggest ad agency for those who don't know it...)
anyway... it kinda lets you see how people think about a certain brand and let them express their love (or hate) for a brand... this site has some interesting comments made about some brands that I'm doing for my school work... it really helps me see what others have to say about certain things... the downside is that this site isn't very popular yet... so there isn't that many user and since this is a website... the brands listed are from all over the world and quite a lot of it are unknown to me (despite the fact that I am quite the world traveller myself)

Staedtler 2B pencil

I have to do an ad for my class... one of it is for staedtler 2B pencil... this particular one is a group thing... our message is "whoever you are, whatever you do, we have the pencil for you". The idea is to use the hello sticker and add a new line that ask which staedtler pencil do you use... I'm thinking of doing it in multiple language since the idea is that no matter who you are, we have the pencil for you.... and "who you are" shouldn't just refer to what you do or how you would use the pencil... anyway... fingers cross... hope this would work...

I Heart Huckabees

I finally watch this movie today... I've been really busy lately... what with the night class and homework... and the pressure to do really well... not to mention my freelance work... I just been so overwhelmed to not dissappoint others and especially myself... which explains why I have a bunch of movies stored away that I want to watch but haven't got around to actually watching it...

How was your day?

I've decided that I should try to do something new or interesting everyday in order to make life more filling... I am done living like a zombie and finding that i haven't done much that is worth talking about... I've been going for this night class and before we start the class, the lecturer would ask us "How was your day?" and many times I felt like nothing new or interesting have happened... making me reluctant to go up and talk about my day... it definitely makes me feel like I have no life... so now... I'm going to start everyday with a fresh cup of coffee...

New Beginning

I don't know how many times I've said that (or wrote that)... but somehow, tonight I felt that it needed to be said... I'm at a new place where I am trying hard to be better... and this worn out phrase needs to be said... so I thought I should start a new blog since my old one have been abandoned for almost a year... so much have happened since... i've lost almost twenty pounds... I now feel more confident to dress up a little... I've explore other things that I normally don't do... I've watched a football match from start to end and enjoyed it to a certain level (for the first time)... and despite the recession, I've got some freelance job to support myself... overall... I'm kinda okay...
