It used to be that, as part of my previous company’s solutions endorsement, I man trade show exhibits. The fun part of it, aside from the fact that we were free from our usual workload, were the freebies we got like nice jackets.

Anyway, we had set up the booth putting up our equipment for a live demo. We also got freebies to lure people in. And of course, we had put up posters to advertise the company. Each participant had their own gimmick to lure people to check their booth.

There are nice table covers that have company logos on them so people could identify the booth even from afar. Good thing about these covers is that they are reusable. So you’re all set for your next exhibit.

If you want something really striking, there are table top displays too. I’d say this is a good marketing strategy during exhibits.

Whatever your style is, always provide freebies and live demo. Works most of the time.

There’s a wave of text and online messages that there will be an earthquake in PI tonight between 10pm and midnight with intensity of 6.8.

I understand that if there’s an earthquake in a nearby country, there’s a big possibility of an earthquake here. Very much like stacked up plates, when you pull out one plate from underneath, all the other plates will be nudged or moved.

What I don’t understand is people could predict the time of an earthquake hours before it happens? I think earthquakes can be predicted only about an hour before. Plus, we could observe that animals will be very restless.

To be honest, I’m trying to be logical here but I’m still in some sort of panic for Pinoys. Tsk, tsk.

Anybody interested on how I looked like when I was younger? I posted a Now and Then tag at my scrapblog.

Anyway, I saw that Aggie posted some pictures of her and her hubby when they were younger. I thought of posting a pic of me and hubby 4 years ago. Note that this pic was taken on the day that hubby was about to propose to me (I had no idea!).

Notice how thin we both were!
