where elle is exploring

Yup, the fever has hit me. I have been denying it for 2 weeks but it can’t be helped. I now find myself checking twitter feeds most times of the day, as soon as I wake and before I sleep. I’ve followed numerous pages, youtube sites, always in the search for the latest information about…

Tay, it’s been a month. And for a month now, I avoided writing to you. It is not because I don’t want to. But because I don’t think there are words in the dictionary that would express how I feel. I just want to tell you that I love you so much. I regret the times that I was not there t…

A date that would forever be etched in my memory... Seemed like a dream. It was that quick.  In an instance, everything changed.  A new perspective. Irony of life.  Disbelief yet acceptance. Darkness and Clarity. Death and Rebirth.

The morning greeted me with a sad news. Steve Jobs, Apple Founder and tech genius has died. I might be melodramatic but I am seriously sad. I feel like the world will never know now what could have been if he has live longer. The web will write all tributes about him, and praise all his…

The past 2 months have been a long roller coaster ride. And there is still one week before July says bye-bye. It was a rollercoaster of emotions the past 2 months: from sadness, to depression, to white hot anger, to frustration, to indifference…. It is ^%#$%%#!! at work. I will not deta…

This is the 3rd time I have voted for the national elections. So far, my experience has always been a fast voting process. We are not talking about the more-than-a-month-long announcement of winners, okay. In the past, I arrived after lunch and I finish within 30 minutes max. This with no…

A product launch is always tedious. From planning to checking scripts, coordinating and planning even the littlest detail, it is almost a relief when you finally reach the night (or the day) of the launch. This time, it is a 2 months work all compressed into one final staging! The launc…

Doing marketing plans can be a breeze, if you know what to do, and if you have all the data at hand. IMC is like summarizing the plans of all the departments in one presentation. From strategies, to creatives, to media, to PR, to event... all in your mercy, as you try to fix it all in y…

5 more days and counting... This Friday, September 4 is our product launch. One of the biggest brands that my team is handling is "arriving in the Philippines". The past few weeks have been filled with a lot of stress, overtimes, meeting deadlines .... all the pressure that def…

Another day of OT. In fact been doing that for the last couple of weeks already. No life. But this is where this OT night differed. The three of us, who was left in the team, went to the nearby convenience store. There we bought a bottle each of Vodka mudshakes and Pinacoladas. In the p…

We delivered the last of Cotton and Candy’s puppies today. The last 2 were the favorite. sigh. The first one (2nd from right), was picked up by its new owner 3 weeks ago. It was alright then. We weren’t so attached to them. Besides, there were still 3. Then the second one (4th from rig…

Time quickly flew... and then you're gone. You will always be in our hearts, a part of our lives. Bye Apo...

I seldom go to hospitals. Aside from the girlfriend-giving-birth occasions, I never do. I hate the place. But in one day, I have been in 2 hospitals and I had no choice. First, for my mom’s eye operation. The procedure was simple enough. We actually waited for just an hour and a half f…

I can’t remember finishing books that fast! (Discounting of course those times in high school when I would finish one Mills and Boon in 3 hours. Well of course I have more free time then). The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer grabbed hold of me and gave me enough time to read again the s…
