I won... almost :P

There are times when you end up as a winner - almost. Your efforts are recognized, but not to the extent that they are rewarded and the prize is given to you. Nonetheless, these recognitions make me happy, knowing that I did well and that my works were appreciated. That's why I'm posting my almost wins here... :)

Here is my almost win no. 1. I joined the Abenson Promo and the prize was a Samsung Mobile Phone. Participants were allowed to submit two entries for the contest and both of my entries were included in the shortlisted Top 16. :) I didn't get the prize but a fellow contest junkie (who later became a friend did) - Paula :)


Now here's another - a NomNom Club contest wherein the prize is a Starbucks USB Flash Drive. I really super love Starbucks so i joined in despite the fact that it's only a 512mb USB... I didn't win, Japaul did, a fellow nuffie :) I was just happy that among the many wonderful entries sent, I belonged to the Top 6.


Lastly, this one's a recent contest for an iPad... and because t'was a twitter contest, I believe that a thousand entries (more perhaps) were received. Again, I didn't win but my entry was mentioned in SimplyHired's blog (I still super wish I can win an iPad soon...)

Most people think that losing isn't worth celebrating but in my case, the "Sayang, muntik na" moments can be disappointing but they are always worth a smile :)

I Have My OWN INFO DOMAINS :)

About 16 hours ago, I was ranting about my wish to have my own domains for my blogs. I figured that I should wait for the main domain giveaways contests which I joined before I decide to buy one...  But alas, the stubborn Ellen couldn't wait and so, I bought web hosting services from Mommy Rubz through Mom's Hosting ... and I also bought a domain name - www.mommysinfodose.info from Godaddy through her. Guess how much I had to pay? Just $13 :) (a dollar for one year of INFO domain name registration for GODaddy, and then $12 for a year of hosting from Mom's Hosting - YES, a dollar every month :D ). The other good news is that instead of having a domain just for Mommy's Infodose, I will now have an INFO domain for BLOGGITYBOOP too :) YEHEY. I won from The Domain Angel 's Quick Domain Giveaway just by being the first commenter on the contest post :D Ain't I lucky? Don't you fret though, because the angel will give away domains every month - Yes, EVERY MONT...

Mommy Moments: Mother's Day 2010

At first, I wanted to skip this week's MM because the theme was Mother's Day and I really don't have much to share about that day.  I started that day (it was actually 'night' because we were all still awake during the wee hours of the morning) with a hug, a kiss, and a greeting from hubby... The End...  Actually, I was a bit sad that day since I wasn't able to visit my Mom and give her something. I just called her up to greet her and to tell her that I love her. That's it. I also didn't receive a card or a flower from hubby **sigh** and my babies are... well, babies, so they couldn't possibly come up with a card. However, I really appreciate all the bloggers, online friends, and "offline friends" :) who extended their greetings to me. I really felt remembered with all the FB photo tagging, wall posts, and mails. Before I started making this post, I read Mommy Chris' MM entry and she noted that we should write about why this year...

Project ALL-TIME: The iPop

The All-Time Dilemma Tardiness. Delays. Lost opportunities. I'm pretty sure everybody has experienced these things just by not being at the right place at the right time. Such wouldn't happen if we can teleport. If we could just pop out anywhere we want to, then we wouldn't miss out on important events just because of congested roads and punctuality issues of public transportation. We can go wherever we want without worrying about flight reservations, car maintenance, and sky-high transportation fares. Moreover, we will no longer be bothered by the fact that... A pedestrian is injured in a traffic accident every eight minutes, An estimated 1.3 million people die on our roads each year, About 1,600 aviation accidents causing about 600 deaths happen yearly, About 10, 200 people get injured inside elevators every year, and There are 6,000 escalator injuries annually, in the U.S. alone. At a more personal level, having the ability to teleport can help Dad get to his...
