It’s never too late to post this

Egad! It’s already February and I should be writing about my “possible fateful Valentine’s day” and I’m still trying to catch up with my last year’s posts. So much for writer’s block. So, late October last year our company had our first “Syntactics, Inc. Halloween Party.” I think it’s going to be an annual event as everybody had a great time dressing up as ghouls, goblins and … ahem, I as a pirate. What? You thought Elizabeth Swann was the ultimate gorgeous -pirate? Wait till you see my pirate-pics (aye, shiver-mi-timbers mateys! What confidence! I should be more careful in writing stuff about how I see myself lest I want to “walk the plank”). My being the “guardian of the door” was pretty effective as I was able to tell those coming in “no costume – no entry” with my stern-yet-sweet (haha) pirate face while I was holding my plastic buccaneer sword. Oh yeah, they were so scared of that sword. The only thing I lacked with that costume was a parrot perched on my shoulder. Hmm… I should have gotten my friend’s parrot for that night or at least a week before that so I would have had enough time to train it on how to say “Squawk! No costume – no entry – Squawk!” 😛 We all had a blast as we found it an opportune time...

Boardroom Walk-ins

The boardroom in our office is within the same room as my private office here. It so happened, I had another door installed for the boardroom side for our plans of putting a division later on and adding a separate air-conditioning unit for that part of the room (we recently moved in this year). The boardroom door is also right next to the main door of our office, so visitors who came in would always mistake the boardroom door as the exit and people always make the mistake of walking back to my room much to their surprise (and...

Make Your Own Havaianas

Matte or metallic? Pastel or bright? Simple or sparkly? Ahhhh! These were written in the “Make Your Own Havaianas” invitation and these were the exact same questions running in my head yesterday at the Limketkai Atrium, where people, like me, rushed to get their hands on their very own pair of customized Havaianas. I almost missed it as I was so loaded with work the entire week! But ahhh, the idea of having your own customized flip flops was just too good to miss. I sent Trisha and Vanessa Tamparong, the two dazzling entrepreneurs of Spruce (Who never seem...

Boomerang Awards

The internet and mobile technology is fast emerging as the new “marketing tool” for companies and brands. “Real Estate” on web pages is something that a lot of our clients are very particular about. When we say “real estate” on the website, it actually means using the “prime” locations in your page for attracting your customers or site visitors or using these spaces for advertising. With this in mind, we make sure that we don’t waste “space,” when we design and develop pages and make sure that every space is used to product branding and for marketing. Online and mobile marketing is not just a trend that will go away soon. This time, marketing experts have actually seen the potential for this powerful tool. In fact, a friend forwarded to me the link for the first internet and mobile marketing awards. On the site it says that the Boomerang awards is “the first and only awards that recognizes the role of internet and mobile platform in building the business of brands, service and companies in the Philippines.” Here’s a chance for those people who come up with the most creative ways of doing online marketing in promoting their companies and brands.
