Lucky Me!

Modesty aside, I think some of my friends envies my luck in winning prizes from different contests. It all started with my GKNB stint (Yes, I joined Kris Aquino’s game show. This deserves a separate entry.) in 2005. Since then I’ve been lucky to win various prizes, mostly courtesy of online contests.

Not to brag so much about this, I wanted to list down all the prizes I have won the past year or so. I'll include lang the major prizes and few details for other minor prizes. I decided not to include all (specifics), baka these sponsors / sites block me na sa mga contests nila. hahaha!

• Red Bamboo Spa Gift Card, worth Php3000 (courtesy of Summit Media's YES! Magazine)
• Free movie tickets from Citibank just by answering their online survey.
• Premium items (cap, shirts, etc) from movie tie-ins, umbrella
• Overnight stay in Discovery Suites, Php2000 Cash (both courtesy of my previous employers)
• Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil (details here) from Ems Express
• Nescafe Gift Packs, Cutex Nail Care Kit, 2010 BDJ Planner, Cocomo beachwear, among others.

I’ll also list down na lang the prizes my friends have won because I entered them in the contests. J

• Alice In Wonderland premium items for T
• A pair of Bronze tickets for Ne-yo's Concert for M
• Inception premium items for K
• I Want Romance (Rom-com DVDs, I think) for X
• Pacquiao vs. Hatton DVD for T (again)
• A pair of premiere tickets for Twilight, which I gave to Ira
• Complimentary passes to Ace Water Spa (4-hour massage) that will be enjoyed by X for his birthday. 

I hope this inspires you to join these online contests, and be diligent in checking out these websites for ongoing promos.

Thank you, Spot.ph, Stylebible.ph, Clickthecity for most of the prizes here. :)

P.S.

I also got an invite from Marlboro to join TMX last August.

Another P.S.

I got inspired to write about this because I just won another prize this morning. This prize also deserves another entry. I'll post full details as soon as I claim / avail it. I'm so excited!

Odd Jobs You Never Knew Existed

I came across this article the other day.


Just want to share these with you, some may hope that we can find a job as easy and fun as these jobs. Others may find some of these jobs ridiculous, really a furniture tester???.


In no particular order, from Woman's Day

Water Slide Tester. If you love water slides, you can enjoy this job for sure!

Do we have a Coconut Safety Engineer here in the Philippines? 

I know that some companies hire Fake Review Writer to up their ratings

Who would not want to be a Furniture Tester?

I would LOVE to be a Professional Sleeper. Same goes with X, too, I think. :)

By the looks of it, even I do not recommend being an Odor Tester

Pet Food Taster. G, are you up for this job? :p

 More odd jobs (like IMAX Screen Cleaner, Vomit Cleaner and Professional Whistler) can be found here


How's your long weekend, dear readers?

I Believe.

They say that when you keep on saying things, when you strongly believe that something's going to happen, it will happen eventually.


Law of attraction, is it?


Well, on our way home from the office earlier. Te & I were talking about our future trips (next year, to be more specific). We're planning on a vacation on a cruise!

So, starting today, I shall think of this all the time. I shall imagine myself sunbathing by the pool. I shall practice my map-reading and navigation skills. I shall make major, major tipid (5-day cruise costs around US$1,000, I think)


This will happen next year. Some time next year.


Right, my dear friends? :)

Cup of Coffee

You got to work early.

You're still sleepy.

So you decide to have coffee.

You look for your mug.

It's nowhere in sight.

You go to the pantry.

And there it is, used and still unwashed.

You try not to be affected that someone has used your cup.

The solution to this almost-repetitive act?
