A message for everyone whom I've worked with at MCA Music...:) My last Project: THE POWERPOP SUPERSTARS!

(WARNING: CONTENTS BELOW IS TOO MUSHY AND VERY LONG)

So I'm down to my second to the last day...less than 48 hours and I'm off to a new adventure. "Parting is such sweet sorrow..." as Shakespeare would say. There have been a lot of lessons, a lot of experiences and most importantly, a lot of people who have taught so much in almost 3 years. Knowing me, who has jumped from one job to another (This is my 6th job technically), it's already a huge leap for me to have stayed for a long period of time. It was hella nice to have been able to stay at stable ground in an industry that I have loved since I was a kid. Now, I'm very excited though a bit anxious on what kind of adventure I'll delve into next.

To the people who have supported and considered my projects, Polaroid, Sterling, Eleksis, Maldita, The Face Shop, Toyota, Von Dutch, 7107 Islands, Covergirl, MAC, LuxAsia, PowerMac, Penshoppe, Victoria Court, Bed Bar, Dolce, Bacardi, Airborne Access, Mcdonalds, Abenson, Nokia, Samsung, Gold's Gym, My Diamond, Morellato, Prince of Jaipur, Papaya Grille, Sol Y Sombra, Candy Corner, Hotel Intercontinental, Clear, Toy Kingdom, Elianto, Arrow, Fibrella...and all those other people (sorry if I failed to mention you) who took a chance at working with me, Thank you so much! It has been a privilege to have worked with you and I'll forever be thankful for all the support you've given, hope you shall continue to choose to work with MCA Music for your future events.

To the people whom I consider an extension of my MCA Music home because we got to work almost on a regular basis or more than once, 888Creatives, Information Gateway, Globe VAS, SMART VAS, EGG, Walt Disney Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Astroplus, O Music, Odyssey, Astrovision, Music One, Fully Booked, Fun Characters Inc., SM Record Bar, SM Cinemas, SM Supermalls, SM Children's Section, EDSA Shangri-la , Crowne Plaza, Music Management Inc., Asian Events, Ovation, Fearless, Viva, New Sparrow, Optic, FAS, Merit, Stylus, Icon, Everyone at MYX (channel, mag, website), ASAP, Magic, RX, MAXFM, Wave, Love Radio, Total Girl, KZone, Candy, Cosmo, everyone at Summit, Status Magazine, Pulp, Fudge, Widescope, Channel V, Philippine Star, Ricky Lo, Yugel, Ms. Maridol (thanks for the phoners and for a great travel experience!), people at MTV who's now at AYC, Sony (swap! hehe), Viva Pictures, Warner Movies, and everyone who have made work extra fun and extra stress free! Thank you so much! I'll never forget you all! :) It's very nice to have found friends through work and hope even after MCA we do keep in touch! :)

To the fans of the artists I handled, 4Nias, B2uties, MCareyph, Tokio Hotel Street Team, Mileynatics, Taylor SwiftPh, Jonas BrothersPH, Selena Gomez PH, Beliebers, Owl City PH, Lady Gaga fans (there are just so many opf you haha!) thank you all! You guys brought life and success to the artists you support! I also found friends in most of you and I can now finally act and be a full-blooded fan! :) Yey! :) Can't wait to watch some rock shows or concerts with you all! X's MORE POWER TO BEST! SOOOO BEST! I'll miss you all calling me "ate choy" :( or just choy hehe...

To my dear friends outside the Philippines, Universal Music Group, Cube, Disney...I never thought that I would find friends and acquiantances in other parts of the world! I'll be missing all your emails and visits!:) Hope I get to visit your countries soon too! Won't ever forget you! :)

Lastly, to my MCA Music family including all our promo girls / boys in all music stores, as well as to those who have left MCA Music already but is still well within the industry...THANK YOU! It was great to have spent almost everyday with all of you! Thank you for sticking by me through ups and downs, boo boos and successes, laughters and frustrations, stress and relaxation. What I appreciate most are the personal encounters we had together, those that did not involve work...Thank you very very much! I just live near the office AND the warehouse for that matter so I'm pretty sure I'll still be seeing all of you! I would also like to take this chance to say this...I'm really grateful that we are all able to part ways on a positive light. I guess it just made work extra exciting and challenging at the same time. I must say that I really matured and I gained a lot of lessons during those experiences. Thank you for making me see the bigger picture in things and for giving me foresight in all I do. Thank you so much!!!

I would also like to say thank you to my family and friends. During my stay at MCA Music I know I wasn't able to spend as much time with you all but either way you still understood. Thank you so much for supporting me in my musical endeavour. :)

I would also like to raise a prayer to the most high! I know ever since I was a kid I've been praying for a chance to work for music. Thank you for blessing me with the MCA experience and for answering my prayer. I can't wait for your next plans for me! Rest assured that I will continue to love music because it is one of the greatest gift you've ever given us!

After that long message of gratitude, there's no better way to cap off my music experience with a project that features the three greatest artists of MCA Music! My last project: The Powerpop Superstars! Starring Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift! Hope you can tune in to your favorite radio stations today for the radio tour of the campaign. We will be giving out Sterling notebooks of the Powerpop Superstars, Polaroid Pogo mobile printers and signed stuff from Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift themselves! To do a parody of Spiderman's infamous line,"With Great powers, Come Great Responsibility...MCA Music through these Power Pop Superstars tell everyone, "With Great hits come, Great albums!"

So this is me signing off as Label Manager for International and Disney releases of MCA Music (well, almost, because my last day is tomorrow :)). For the meantime, hope you could drop by Nak Muay Asian Thai Cuisine located in front of ELJ Building, Mother Ignacia Place, Mother Ignacia Q.C.! :)

Do stay tuned here as I post my new adventures...my next stop, the search for the perfect dentist to get rid of my wisdom tooth...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (videos and pictures coming soon...NAH!)

X's: But I'm more excited for my search for the perfect ice cream that will pacify the pain of my tooth extraction...:) YUM! Any suggestion?
