Journal Entry: Tue Aug 28, 2007, 11:35 PM
THIS WAS WAITING FOR ME IN THE MAIL THIS MORNING:

Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 02:41:16 -0700 (PDT)
From: NANJU FRANCISCO <nanjurf@y...>
Subject: Request to use your Nuestra Senora Shot for the Mercury Drug 2008
To: Jade Tamboon <jade.tamboon@g...>
Cc: Grace Choa <gcchoa@y...>

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Nanju Francisco and I was asked by my boss Ms. Grace Choa of Telenetwork Media Center to contact you with regard to our latest project . Our client Mercury Drug will be producing its 2008 Calendar featuring the "Philippines Festivals" in its cover as our way of supporting and promoting tourism in our country.

This year, Mercury Drug will be printing 3 million copies of its 2008 calendar which will be distributed to their valued customers nationwide for FREE.

We are now in the process of selecting the photographs that we are going to include in this calendar. We are pleased to inform you that we have chosen your Nuestra Senora shot as one of the photos which we would like to put in this calendar.

In line with this, we would like to ask your permission to use your photo for this project and in return we will acknowledge you as its photographer.

If you agree with our request, kindly sign your name on the space provided below. We would also like to request for a hi-resolution copy of the Nuestra Senora that we need for the Calendar.

May we hear from you soon as we need to finalize everything before this Thursday.

Please feel free to call us at 811-xxxx or email us at gcchoa@y... or nanjurf@y... if you have any questions.

Yours truly,

Nanju Francisco


grace choa contacted me in flickr some weeks back, expressing interest in one of my photos (she did not specify which one exactly, but stated it's one of the virgin mary photos).

this was the follow up email, and i'm really flattered with their interest in including one of my photos in a calendar. man, they could include the photo for free, if they want, this is awesome.

my only worry is that those photos were taken using a 2MP phone camera. my phone camera's image quality is really good, but a 2MP photo would prolly not print well in a calendar.

so i replied to the mail, informing them of the problem with the image size but assured them i'm allowing them to use my photo if the image size is not going to be a problem.

i'm not too optimistic about my photo ever going to be include in the calendar but the fact that they've seriously considered it gives me a good feeling already.

Let's see if you send it back. We all know or knew someone like this!!


One day, when I was a freshman in high school,


I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.


His name was Kyle.


It looked like he was carrying all of his books.


I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a
Friday?


He must really be a nerd."


I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my
friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.


As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.


They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him
so he landed in the dirt.


His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet
from him


He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes


My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around
looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.


As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. "


They really should get lives.


" He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"


There was a big smile on his face.


It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.


I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.


As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen
him before


He said he had gone to private school before now.


I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.


We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.


He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.


I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends


He said yes.


We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I
liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.


Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books
again.


I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious
muscles with this pile of books everyday!


" He just laughed and handed me half the books.


Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.


When we were seniors, we began to think about college.


Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke.


I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a
problem.


He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football
scholarship.


Kyle was valedictorian of our class.


I teased him all the time about being a nerd.


He had to prepare a speech for graduation.


I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak


Graduation day, I saw Kyle.


He looked great.


He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.


He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.


He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.


Boy, sometimes I was jealous!

Today was one of those days.


I could see that he was nervous about his speech.


So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"


He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and
smiled.


" Thanks," he said.


As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began


"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through
those tough years.


Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly
your friends...


I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best
gift you can give them.


I am going to tell you a story."


I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the
first day we met.


He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.


He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have
to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.


He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.


"Thankfully, I was saved.


My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."


I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told
us all about his weakest moment.


I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful
smile.


Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.


Never underestimate the power of your actions.


With one small gesture you can change a person's life.


For better or for worse.


God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way.


Look for God in others.


You now have two choices, you can:


1) Pass this on to your friends or


2) Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.


As you can see, I took choice number 1.

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly."


There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history.


Tomorrow is a mystery.


Today is a gift.


It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send
this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.


If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends.

WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER, YOU'RE REQUESTED TO SEND IT TO AT LEAST
10 PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU.
