MANILA COMIC CON 2009

Here are pictures from this morning's comic convention 2009 in Megamall.

ENJOY!!! c^^,)

It was a warm Saturday afternoon, since I was not scheduled for a photo shoot this weekend I was lounging around the house sitting here and there and binge eating again on Twizzlers and popcorn (weird combination huh?!) I was on a diet so I had to think of a way to entertain my self. So I got up from bed and decided I've got to get my clicking urge satisfied today. There was an event being talked about a forum I frequent and it was held in Megamall. The Metro Comic Convention 2009! It was my first time attending the event and of course I was not there just for the ladies! (^_^) I was there to shoot interesting subjects, I was not disappointed! From Toys, Comic books, COSPLAY people, models, the list just goes on and on. I was not afraid to go there alone though... well to think about it this was the first time I was planning to shoot alone... aside from food reviews I do every now and then.

I got there around 2 or 3PM I think and saw the cosplayers sitting outside Megatrade hall where they usually do these events. It was nice, I had the first few shots dedicated to them but then I saw the life size figures in the center so I concentrated more on that and the toys. That was really good shooting because the images I saw after that were great... I saw some of the D60KREW photographers there also so in the end I wasn't really alone. I had so much fun as you can see because I got so many out of those few hours spent inside the comic con. I am sure I'll be back next year!

The Efficient Marketing Plan for the 2nd Half of 2009

The Business Process Outsourcing industry has been my bread and butter. As you may all know, the company I work for engaged in accounts that comprises of technical, customer service and sales oriented entities. On a successful call, one can generate a couple of dollars which would cover only the expenses of the operations. The main generation of funds usually would go to up selling the same services for a fee if certain criterion are met like warranty periods, end of life or value added services. There are specific audiences that the company should only get, mostly only those whose interest has been the one they offer. This can be gathered by consumer surveys, on line forms and other means. Getting this without the process of having middle men and all the bureaucracy can be easily serviced by other private companies. Business Sales Leads have long been used by contact centers like ours so a direct connection and sure sale could be established. Not to mention the other services that they can avail after this transaction. This is very good for credit card companies, cable television, satellite transmission providers and businesses that would not want to waste time and directly go to the person/individual that will avail their products. Saves them precious time and money in the process because it would avoid red tape.

The equation is easy, more leads would mean more consumers that would gladly spend for your product. This would in turn generate more income for any company. We can always take our own resources and find clients on our own randomly but that would only take more time to get a single sale because it is like shooting air balls in a basketball court. If the interested ones are tapped, then there would no longer be sales talk events every time. Getting more sales in a shorter amount of period would also convert into efficient manpower usage for any company availing this service. It is the smartest thing a manager would think about doing if he plans to be more than the usual. We did that already, do you want to be left behind?

KUMAGCOW MOOOOVIE REVIEWS: STAR TREK (The Movie 2009)

It was a fast paced fantasy based movie that originated from the original TV series. A connection between the past and the present, time travel and super warp drives, this movie has not failed to impress me. I thought it was going to be a boring one since I was not impressed with the reviews in the US and local papers. I was not a trekkie to begin with but man! I enjoyed each scene that came out of the silverscreen. Not to mention this day was a little special since I dated a long time friend from Canada. Yes, singlehood has its perks but it would not hurt to date every once in a while. Anyway, back to the movie hehe...

She was the one who chose this movie by the way because she probably was a trekkie and she did not admit it haha! She doesn't read my blog so that's okay to say hehe. So back to the story, it started on a space jump then people died in the USS Enterprise... the mighty captain sacrificed himself and rammed it into the alien's ship. This was in the eve of his wife giving birth to a healthy boy, this lad later on became the captain of the ship. Spock was in the story too, he time travelled and told of the past so he could change history. There were some drills that were started by these aliens so they could make blackholes and get these planets to implode. Soon almost the whole civilization of Spock perished, only a few survived. The alien had some sort of grudge against Spock and he wanted him to see his people die. The alien told of a story of his people dying too so that's what he did to Spock for revenge. In the end, they all were able to defeat the alien from within their ship. They also rescued the previous captain who was captured in the initial war. Spock and the new Captain became close friends, then everything was in order after they destroyed the ship and defeated the alien in hand to hand combat.

I strongly suggest you watch it if you still have time! Givin it 3 KUMAGS for effort, and becaus the date went fine! ^^ Hahah
