Behind the Scenes of PLDT's heyU

Do you remember these videos that went viral last February?

Well I was actually a part of the team behind these digital advertisements by PLDT's new product, heyU. It's actually a VoIP service that works like Viber, but this time, it's free to call landlines. Telpad users can download the app for free, while regular PLDT landline subscribers have to pay Php 100 on top of their monthly service fees (MSF) in order to avail of the service. Besides free landline calls, heyU also allows calling the US, Canada, and Hawaii for only Php 1.50/minute just like that of a budget card. A special rate of Php 5/min also apply for calls to Sun, Smart, and Talk N Text.

As part of the digital team that handled heyU, we were the ones who developed the online ads, and the videos as well. We were also the ones who conducted the "heyUpickMe" twitter promo that made one girl win a date with Daniel Matsunaga. However, I just left my job even before heyU's official press launch at White Space last April 24. But still, I felt happy that the brand I used to service had a successful launch. Too bad I was out of town so I wasn't able to witness it live. But thanks to social media, I got updated real time.

Anyway, it was an honour working with team heyU -- clients, agencies (digital, PR/media), production house (including the director, producer, editors). It was a quick yet fun experience for me. I met new friends and I've learned a lot too!:)

Here are some BTS photos I wanna share:

Can the Blackberry Z10 Convince You?

I've had a Blackberry since 2009. First was the Curve 8520, then at mid-2010, I had it changed into a Bold 9700. But in December 2011, I got an iPhone 4S a week after it was  launched. I didn't give up my Blackberry despite having an iPhone because I can't let go of all my BBM contacts. I just subscribed to Php 99/mo BB CHAT as an add-on to my existing postpaid plan. My experiences with my BB have been very bad most especially with its battery, and its motherboard. I really wanna throw mine away.

Anyway, my only point here is, I've been using Blackberry for years and just when I am close to giving up my BB, here comes Blackberry Z10. The features and specs are very impressive and it shows a Blackberry that got 10x better. However, I'm just doubtful about how tough this product is because I've seen a Blackberry hang a lot of times. It has caused me and my friends a lot of troubles already so I don't wanna trust any BB product anymore. Even if they've done good on the Playbook, I would still prefer another tablet over that.

Hats off to Blackberry for its courage of releasing such a product, even if they've been losing global market share in the past few years. However, I wasn't convinced to upgrade my BB 9700 to BB Z10 because as much as possible, I wanted to stay with iOS and get an Android (Samsung Note 2) later.

Nice TVC though. :p

Bakit UP?

I just want to share the video presented at the UP Freshmen Orientation for the Academic Year 2012-2013. This video really got me nostalgic. I really miss my college days!

I've been a UP student since high school. After my spending my pre-school and grade school days in a Catholic school, I applied and passed the entrance exam at the UP Integrated School in 2000. Then I went to college in the Diliman campus at 2004. I spent my first two years in college at the UP School of Economics, taking up BS Business Economics but decided to shift to the National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) where I took up BA in Public Administration, and graduated in 2009. Still not done studying, I enrolled Master in Technology Management a the UP Technology Management Center last year (2011), and I am expecting to graduate by next year (2013). 

So imagine, how much UP has shaped me. It has greatly influenced my knowledge, skills, practices, and attitude. There's always that someone in me who wishes to be lined up with the best people of the different fields (in and out the country), just like those who were in the video. I will always be thankful and proud of my Alma Mater.

I love Sushi!:)

I found this video which won in the Animation Category of the Youtube Video Awards 2010. The most popular videos per category (total of 7 categories) were chosen by YouTube users (by number of applause).

Mirror Prank: Will It Freak You Out? :p

Haha! This is crazy. If this happens to me, I might freak out! LOL.

What Do They Have in Common?

Haha I just realized it now haha!=))

Is this kind of situation really prominent these days? Good thing I'm not a part of it haha.

Why is it Best to Work at GOOGLE?

My officemate shared to me this Youtube video featuring Google as the best place to work in the world. Yeah, we watched it while we were in the office. Haha.



Well...I found this video really interesting. Hmmm...makes me wanna transfer.=P

i want nobody nobody but you!=D

Currently, this is my most favorite YouTube video.

It's super cool and amazing. I'm wondering how intelligent and patient the person behind this is.

I'm not really a fan of the Wondergirls, but i like the way they executed their dance in the original music video, plus it's impressive how they've influenced the creator of this one.

Wee! Let's go Wonderbots! See how these mini robots dance using exactly the same steps of the Wondergirls in their video. These Wonderbots are making it right to the beat of the music; doing pretty well. haha!=))

Just in case you wanna compare the performance of the Wonderbots to that of the Wondergirls, check this video:

Why would Wonderbots win over Wondergirls? It's the robot's solo break dance towards the end of the video! hahaha! definitely a winning moment!=P

But wait there's more! Wonderbots just won't stop! Look at this version with that looks like a disco party because of the lights of the robots while they dance. Cool!



Thanks YouTube!

And so I love the Transformers even more!=D
