BAD DAY

Daniel Powter may as well be sitting next to me right now and singing the familiar strains of his one hit song. Today has been one disaster after another. Why God, why?

Let me explain. After picking up ** this morning, we headed to work. With all the traffic on EDSA, we take an alternate route to Makati, turning off at Guadalupe towards JP Rizal. While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, my ever-brilliant driver seemingly dozes off and the car rolls into the vehicle idling in front of us. A quick survey of the damage revealed some minor dents and scratches but nothing too major. The owner of the other car offered that we pay him off then and there so as to avoid a messy dispute. I had to fork over a thousand bucks (good thing I was carrying some cash) which I hope my driver will pay back.

Anyway, got to work and found out that Nanette Diyco's write-up about our HSBC ads came out in today's BusinessWorld. Needless to say, I was thrilled. She discussed two ads and one of them was my idea. Lo and behold, my brilliant accounts team forgot to add my name to the credits and instead put the name of my namesake who left 141 on bad terms and wasn't even part of the conceptualization of the ad. Argh! My boss said he felt bad and that I shouldn't worry. The higher-ups are well-aware of my contributions and all that...but this was the moment I was gonna be recognized for an ad I was proud off and...ARRRGH!

I am so not in a good mood right now...

Here's the ad, in case any of you are curious:

that's okay. it's just nanette diyco. hardly anyone even reads her columns anymore. :)

Build your book and pimp yourself, boyo.
