It's (not) just an Ad

Well, hello people! It felt so long since I wrote my last post. Yesterday, I have just got back from a very tiring mentor-training at Puncak. It was 3 days, lemme tell you the worst part(s). First, when we went there, the bus broken down so we had to waste an hour waiting it to move again. Second, it took 6 hours to reach home due to the (really really bad) traffic jam. Third, we were not supposed to bring our cellphone and other electronic devices. Yeah, three days without blackberry, iPod, etc. We also didn't know what time it was, since we were also forbidden to bring wrist watch and ALL of the wall clocks were nowhere to be seen. (I know it was sucks but thanks God it's finally over).

After those three days of hell, I don't feel like doing anything today (even if it's Saturday, who cares). So, I just youtube-ing and found some great (and tearful) commercials. Most of them are foreign ads anyway. I swear, they are all worth watching.

I cried after watching this ad :'(

Yes, it is in Mandarin. My mom said that the native dialect is in Taiwanese.

(I don't understand, so with all due respect to her, let's just pretend it is Taiwanese)

This ad is especially for you, girls.

I (also) cried after watching this ad :'( --> this time I cried harder

(Don't judge a video by its thumbnail, yes I know the thumbnail is not convincing but believe me, you have to watch this one)

I (also) cried watching this ad! --> I know sometimes I can be so sloppy.

The last two ads are from Thai Insurance, all of their ads are sooo touching but these two are my favorites. Here is one of the comment:

"Chai Chaiyawun" the President of Thai Life Insurance company ltd. have said that the main reason of his ad. is not to "sell insurance" but to create good conscious mind to thai social. Because he believe that when the whole social is good, all company and organization including to country must be good too. Which is the real sustainable development. -- user kkofg on Youtube

Watching all of these videos make me remember about Indonesian Ad which make my eyes teary. It's an old Tropicana Slim's ad, if you happened to remember.

I think this Ad is the best family-theme Ad ever on Indonesia's TV Screen.

However nothing beats my favorite video on Youtube, "The Places We Should Have Gone" by Wongfu Production. I even download the video to watch it whenever I feel like to. (I do think it is better than the more-famous Strangers Again video, although I do not deny that Strangers Again is awesome)

I just found out that Youtube-ing is actually fun (especially for those who has nothing to do, like me in the mean time). I know all of the above videos are so melancholy, maybe sometimes in the future I will post about funny ads. I hope you enjoy the videos and I'm sorry if you have watched all of the them before (and I am more sorry if you cry a river right now :P). Have a great Saturday!

Cheers.
