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 :)

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n...

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...

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...
