Fit Flop –Oprah Swears By It

June 23, 2009 by Janey

Okay, if asked who is the most avid reader of Didi’s site, I know who to point to (Pointing ALL fingers to Bubba). He sometimes goes, “did you read Didi’s blah blah…” and I will be totally clueless because he gets to read it first before I do.

One day, he started blabbing about this newest technology in flip flops –Fit Flop, that he read over Didi’s site. He said it would really be good for my back since I have scoliosis and I always complain of back pains. I said I don’t need the fit flops because nowadays you would always find me in sneakers anyway (even in the office, unless I have an important meeting with affiliates). My white sneakers are pretty comfortable.

He objects and says that Fit Flop is beneficial for this and that. He goes on to drop the name of Oprah. Oprah swears by it. Right.

The next big question: how much is it?

When he answered that it was a whopping PHP 3K, I said immediately, “NO WAY JOSE!!!” I am NOT going to buy flip flops that are that expensive. It’s crazy!

I remember buying Havaianas some 5 years ago that are half as much and I have never used them. It’s still in the box. What do I need another pair of flip flops for? I for one do not need an extra.

Every time Bubba remembers Fit Flop, he keeps insisting that I get one. He said he would buy it for me. Even if he buys it for me, I don’t want IT. It’s just a waste of hard earned money.

So the story goes, we were in Powerplant Mall last Saturday. Bubba spots the Fit Flop stand and hauled me there. I said I don’t want to try it on but he was so persistent. Bubba got me try it on and it was pretty comfortable. But I still wasn’t that sold. Since he is really bent on buying me one, I let him be. It’s for my “health” anyway. It also supposedly helps you burn more calories as you walk on them. Exercise while wearing flip flops?

The woman who turns everything she touches to gold backs it up.

Oprah swears by it. And most importantly, so does Didi.

On June 22, 2009, I have officially joined the bandwagon of those in UK who are in this Fit Flop craze since 2007. Thanks Bubba!

The Real Deal: Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao Signs with ABS-CBN

March 19, 2009 by Janey

Manny Pacquiao announces live on TV Patrol, Channel 2, Wednesday night that he has signed up with ABS-CBN Corporation for the exclusive coverage of his fight with Ricky Hatton on May 2, 2009 (Manila time). In a bold move, Pacman surprises viewers with the announcement, having been exclusive under the Solar Entertainment banner for several years. He is now back in being a “Kapamilya.”

Minutes after the announcement, Solar releases a statement through its lawyer on 24 Oras, which is the evening news show of network counterpart, GMA. The lawyer, Enrique Dela Cruz Jr., intimated that Pacquiao does not have control to remove its contractual obligations from Solar and transfer telecast rights to ABS-CBN. Solar holds a live contract that run until 2012 for exclusive broadcast rights over the Pacquiao fights across all platforms. Solar Entertainment reiterated that the contract is still valid and binding and they continue to carry the legal right to air Pacman’s fights saying that Pacquiao or ABS-CBN cannot violate that legal agreement.

Unconfirmed reports say that other than the business deal that amounts anywhere between PHP 120 Million to PHP 180 Million per fight, another underlying factor that made Pacman switch is the media support he was going to get from ABS-CBN for his electoral campaign. ABS-CBN is dominant and very visible in the Saranggani area. Pacman is candidly considering running again for the same congressional seat in his province General Santos city, which he lost to incumbent Congresswoman Darlene Antonino-Custodio.

Under the ABS-CBN deal, the next fights of Pacman will be aired over the giant network and not on GMA-7, which telecast the recent fights of the world’s pound for pound king. Solar Entertainment partnered with GMA-7 for these past fights, giving them the free TV rights to air Pacman’s bouts. Ironically, Pacman has 2 shows under GMA’s belt, Pinoy Records which he co-hosts with Chris Tiu and Totoy Bato, where he plays the trainer of Robin Padilla in the action series.

Rumors have been spreading since early this year that Solar’s ties with Pacquiao have been severed caused by non-payment of fees that Pacman’s camp should be collecting from Solar Sports. Solar vice president for business operations Ralph Roy also have said to denounce two Inquirer exclusives, saying that the paper put the financial state of the company in a bad light. The owners of Solar Sports and ABS-CBN met recently where the idea of buying out Pacquiao’s contract from Solar was initially considered.

If the case were true that Solar has been delinquent in its payment to Pacquiao then that can tantamount to breach of the agreement, which paves the route to pre-termination of the contract, provided this is one of the explicit termination effects of the agreement.

Hatton would probably set out to be Pacquiao’s biggest and most arduous fight in his career. Ricky Hatton is one of the premiere boxers of today and he is at the peak of his game. When Pacquiao fought with Mexican boxing giants, Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Dela Hoya, they were at the end of their prime. Pacquiao is said to have met his match in Hatton. However, Pacman predicts a win as he promises to bring honor to the country once again. Speculation boils that the winner of Pacquiao versus Hatton bout is appointed to meet Mayweather in the next fight.

Pacquiao is set to retire after one or two more fights after Hatton. One might be scheduled at the end of the year and another one for 2010.

Ad Congress 2008

December 16, 2007 by Janey

The Philippine Advertising Congress, which happens every two years, was held in Subic for 2008. It was my very first Ad Congress… and Bubba’s too! I definitely gained about 5 lbs from all the food! Buffet breakfast, buffet lunch and buffet dinner!!! I’m such a beast when it comes to eating…

I was a delegate together with the account managers from the airtime department, which also falls under our division. We rented a house in Subic that was newly renovated and I was bunked with Len and Kay, who I got to know better during the 4-day convention.

I loved the seminars (they weren’t boring at all) and learned a lot from it. I was especially thrilled to see Neil Gaiman in the flesh, only a few meters away.

11/23: Marlboro Party

It was interesting to be part of the Ad Cong, which was pretty similar to the PCTA Cable Convention. Ad Congress involves advertisers, media partners, etc. which is the same with PCTA but it’s more centric to Cable Channels and their shows.
