Is it annoying? Do you have to draw your curtains closed to sleep?

I can almost hear the residents of Wack-Wack trying to figure out who to call to complain about the brightness.

hmmmm.... from Monumento to the SM Mall of Asia?..... hhmmm... I'd guess it is roughly a hundred or even more.... Kris Aquino's billboards for different products is about 15 already if I'm not mistaken on both sides of the avenue... from her adds on whitening soap, clothing, the Gateway Mall, etc...

Kris Aquino also endorsed Metro Gaisano, huh. And she's endorsing Gateway Mall too. Anyway, Metro is a department store and supermarket and Gateway's a mall so there isn't any double endorsement for a category of products/services.

the effect is amazing as seen from a distance. i was driving along sheridan street one night and i noticed an illumination from a distance. i don't know what it is or where it is but the brightness is such that it illuminates even when you're at the opposite side. i thought there was a big event or something but to my surprise and amazement, it was the st. francis ad. but i like it though. maliwanag as compared to the bleakness of the night.

I actually have no problem with it ,nice effect, and now I'm sure sa liwanag wala nang muging doon at nka shades ang guards and parking lot attendants sa gabi, it's kinda nice meyo eerie nga lang. It has the same effect of shang (if you're near that side of wackwack) parang lumulutang iyung ilaw. hehe

100 billboards , si kris aquino lang iyon

add heart and maybe another 100 haha

perhaps the more interesting question is sino pinakamadaming billboard on edsa + south superhighway? si heart, sharon, kris, kristine or claudine.

on EDSA.... Kris Aquino definitely shines.. hehehe.. at the area of Guadalupe, Kris has a billboard for Belo, Leonardo's bags, and Bench if I'm not mistaken.. she has a big one near the corner of Quezon Ave for Bench and another for Leonardo again.. she has another Gateway Mall billboard near Paragon Tower... and that is only at the southbound side of EDSA... I forgot the others... oh in Cubao she has one for Gateway Mall and one for Kissa papaya soap...

yeah.. no matter how controversial she gets.. advertisers just love to get her.. to promote anything... and well.. she is anyways the second biggest showbix taxpayer next to Ate Shawi.. hehehe...

I (heart) Heart. I would like for there to be more Heart billboards.

Ayoko makita ang mukha ni Kris. Nakakainis siya panoorin sa TV.

And to think, when she was just a teenager that showed up at political rallies after her father was assasinated, we used to say "How cute! What a smart girl!"

this is how it looks like from the fort...


but...lights are now getting busted...
