Catch the American Idol Marathon scheduled on 16^th to 18^th of May.  The first marathon-run of AI in Asia is exclusive on Star World, Sky Cable Channel 48. 

American Idol finale on May 22^nd will be shown “LIVE” at 08:00 HKT

I haven’t had the time to watch TV nowadays, although the TV is open most of the time in the office.  The other group recently lent us a Samsung LCD TV for HD test, neat (I wanna get one for my room!)!  Life at work is overly busy the past few weeks.  And when I get home, the last thing I want to do is stare at the boob tube.  That’s why I terribly miss watching American Idol.  The preliminary/road trip was funny when I caught it 2 months ago (?) on Star World (midnight rerun).  But I haven’t actually watched a single episode this season!  Too bad, when channel affiliates talk about it, I’m so behind all the juice!

Anyhow, I should be inspired to watch again since Adel, the Chick Chik recently sent me an American Idol water glass.  When I first opened the box, I initially thought it was a microphone (because it looked like a packaging for a mic).  Haha, upon closer inspection, it was actually a glass with a microphone design. 

Catch first run episodes on Star World every Wednesday and Thursday at 6pm and same night encore at 11pm.  Reruns the next day at 1pm.  Watch it only on Sky Cable!

Well, even if this entry is short, I’m glad I was able to take a break and write.  It’s already 6:30 pm and I still have one contract to finish so I’m hitting the breaks…. Screech —–ciao!

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. 

11/22: Neil Gaiman

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.
