Okay so I'm in a so-so mood.
I got lots of things to plan ahead and this isn't just some petty event. I'm talking about one of the biggest events in the Philippines.
I'm so happy to be part of the organizing team of the largest pop-culture convention in Southeast Asia. Currently I'm handling international contacts that can be potential supporters of the Philippine ToyCon. It's become the pride of the organization I'm working with to be with the ToyCon team since 2009.
But before ToyCon comes around the corner, we've got a lot of things to prepare for. Numerous line-up of events before ToyCon which we plan to be preludes and road-shows for the largest convention in the metro. Aside from those projects, future projects together with one of the professional event organizers of the country just boomed up and planning has started at the early quarter of the year.
This is becoming a fruitful year for the organization I'm in, and even though I'm here in the United States, I'm doing my share into working on more progress for our international publicity and partners. I just hope all will go well and we could get Project 23319 to be a go.
I'm just babbling around here coz I dunno what else to say. I'm ecstatic with what we have right now. So excited that it's making me want to go back to the Philippines already.
But aside from that, I was kinda "devastated" though when I heard from our partner that we cannot bring in that band/artist that we were targeting. It seems that the foreign group is considered to be a platinum artist now and is charging us around $1.5M if we're not going with the local promoters which is Universal Records and $1M if we ask a partnership with UR. Right now we're debating if we should just look for other artists or go with the project and as early as now, solicit to companies who could probably sponsor millions of pesos just to get them in. Just a trivia, $1.5M is roughly 65M pesos. I already have like 11k in my bank, who has the remaining 64,989,000?
But yeah, other than that, all is good with the preparations with ToyCon. I'll be working on the next video teaser to be released for the 150 days to ToyCon and hopefully we're going to get a green light in our operations room to start the actual ground work for the biggest pop-culture event of the country!
Until then!
