Bad Boys of BBDO
Just came back from dinner and drinks with Rocky and Kit of BBDO Shanghai. We ate so much Hunan food (famous for their spicy food and for Mao Zedong’s birthplace) my tongue was burning. Then doused it with red wine. aaah life!
I met them together with Johnny Tan (my CD) at BBDO’s Asia Pacific Creative Conference last year in Ho Chi Minh. We kinda hit it off for some reason. We’re not in touch with the rest of the gang (we’ll I do get in touch sometimes with Farrouk and Alex of Singapore, and Suthi and Rong of Bangkok but that’s about it), they’re not even in touch with Bryan Siy who was with us at that conference.
Kit was supposed to be my partner at BBH but he backed out at the last minute to accept a promotion to CDship at BBDO. Too bad because we seem to get along well. Maybe because his fiancee is also named Carol. My tukaya! But it’s okay, I’m getting a new partner early next year. A Shanghainese based in New York. Saw his TV reel. Darn, it’s so good.
Anyway, the two of them are planning some out of town trip, and promised to invite me to tag along if they have parties. Which is a welcome relief so I don’t have to blog so much so often.

No, no, no, don’t stop blogging! It is always a delight to read your entries–you’re the only blogger I know whose every entry I really enjoy–and it makes my quiet life become so alive! Don’t worry, I don’t make kwento about your China life to the fam, unless you would want me to. Hehe!
But hey, easy on the parties Cuz! Do take care of a well-loved Barcelona over there. =)

Thanks
I never blogged before I came to Shanghai. But I guess this helps keeps me sane. It’s like talking to a girlfriend, one who replies a few days later. hahaha.
Wish ko lang. Most of the time I’m just holed up at work or at the hotel. And soon, in my new home.
Sure feel free to tell the family about my Shanghai life. After all, it’s on the net. It’s between the two million of us.
I’m not going to much parties
