If you’re expecting me to give away tickets, sorry, I don’t have the power to do so. BUT, you can Splintr’s contest to avail a Silver ticket equivalent to PHP1500. All you have to do is upload the Deftones poster (refer to the photo above) in your Facebook, then tag 50 people on that photo. Just ensure that they won’t untag themselves the moment Splintr checks your Facebook profile and that photo is PUBLIC. When you’re done tagging your friends in Facebook, email contest@splintr.com with the subject title “Deftones Poster Tagging Contest”. They will randomly choose 50 winners.

I wanna watch Deftones but I am not sure if my work schedule and budget will permit me to do so. Have lots of traveling to do in the first quarter of the year.

As mentioned in my previous post (in the comments section), I will be giving away 4 online concert tickets/passes for Urbandub First Decade online concert courtesy of Globe Tattoo and Pelicola.tv! The mechanics are very simple. Please see below:

1. Post any of the Official Teaser videos or posters on your blog / social network (Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, Friendster, My Space, etc…). You can find some teaser videos in http://www.facebook.com/GlobeTattoo.
2. Include a link to http://Pelicola.tv/AliveOutThere on your post.
3. Leave a comment on this blog post with the link to your post to validate your entry.
4. By May 3, May 9, I’ll be raffling off Alive Out There online concert passes to 4 lucky fans (via Random.org). Great way to spend the week with your rocker friends!

I’ll be definitely be watching because I’ll try to look for myself in the audience and other blogger friends and Dubistas in the crowd. This is definitely a must-see because this is the first time that a Filipino band will be having an online concert.

* please note that I will only accept 1 entry per person.

* I have extended the contest to make sure that 4 lucky winners will indeed get the Free Urbandub Online Concert Tickets!

It’s the first month of the year so I decided to give away a limited San Miguel Beer Frozen Mug. I got this from the Pale Pilsen Time Na Press Launch and since I already have mine, I want one of my readers to have it too! All you have to do is comment here and tell me what’s your most favorite pulutan whenever you have a round of beers with your friends or relatives. I’ll be randomly choosing 1 winner through random.org. The winner should be from Metro Manila because I will ship the mug to him/her. The winner will be notified through email so make sure that you enter your email in the comment form. Also, one entry per person (please be honest here!) The contest will run until January 29, 2010.

Then join my contest here and be one of the three winners of these cool Schutzen notebooks!

Schutzen notebooks are not like your ordinary notebooks because of its quality. The cover itself is made of leather so you’re sure that it will last a long time. There are fillers available in major bookstores in case every page is filled up. The paper is very smooth and you’ll definitely enjoy writing on it. I currently have a perpetual planner also from Schutzen which has the same type of paper as the notebooks in the picture and I liked the smoothness of the paper. Aside from being a normal notebook, they all have card slots and post it notes! These notebooks are priced at around Php 300 – 500 so if you win one of these, you won’t have to spend that much money!

Now, for you to win these cool notebooks, you just have to obey my rules. Hehe. So here it goes…

** UPDATED**

I just realized that my requirements might be too demanding for you so I am making it easier for you. Now instead of writing lyrics, all you have to do is just tell me who you think are the top 3 best Pinoy bands of 2009. 3 winners will be randomly selected and will be notified via email.

Deadline is December 23, 2009.

Bands have their own style, whether they consciously or unconsciously thought of it. I just loved how band members themselves take the effort of choosing the clothes they wear whenever they go on stage. Nothing really extravagant is needed, for as long as it looks good and fits well on them.

A few days ago, I was invited to the Create Your Style event of Puma in Greenbelt 5. Two of the band endorsers of Puma, Up Dharma Down and Drip, performed to show their Puma style. Honestly, I was quite excited to see them again because they’re two of my favorite local bands.

Karla and I were among the first ones to arrive. Thought we’re gonna be late since I left the office late. Good thing I didn’t need to travel far because it’s just in Greenbelt 5. So while waiting, we were enjoying our free booze and food there . Anyway, Drip performed first. The vocalist, Beng, was wearing a high-waisted maong pair of shorts with multiple buttons on the waistline. It was paired with a striped tank top tucked in. She matched it with a classic Puma sneakers.

Armi Millare of Up Dharma Down

Then, Up Dharma Down performed their own songs. It was only the 3 of them, Carlos Tanada wasn’t there. Armi was wearing a black hoodie jacket with silver outline and matched it with black short shorts. Armi was given Puma ears and wore it until the end of their set (meow, Armi!).

Me with Meow Meow Armi

So if you like to win P20,000 worth of Puma stuff, just drop by at any Puma store and create your own style with Puma Fall Holiday 09 collection. You don’t need to buy the items that you’ll be choosing. If your style is chosen, it will be featured at the next year’s Puma Style Guide! This contest will only run until December 22. So better go to your nearest Puma store!

UPDATED: THE CONTEST IS EXTENDED UNTIL JANUARY 31, 2010!

* Special thanks to Teresa Liwanag of Puma for the invitation!

A phrase that shows gratitude and appreciation for one’s act of kindness. Isn’t it nice to appreciate someone’s effort and be appreciated as well? Thanking gives someone a special place in this world or in other words, one’s existence is being recognized.

Hearing someone say ‘thank you’ makes you giddy and fulfilled inside just like how Toblerone’s sweetness can make you giddy too. This is the reason Toblerone thought of having a National Thank You Day which started last year. Mayor Alfredo Lim even made October 20th, the official National Thank You Day.

For this year, Toblerone wants to know about the things that you should be thankful for by expressing it through photographs. Toblerone is giving away 3 Toblerone Gift Packs to your beautiful photos that show appreciation and gratitude to each other.

If you’re going to ask me, I have a lot of things to be thankful for. First is my mom who never fails be there for my needs.

Second of course is my ever so loyal girlfriend, Karla. She’s the best one and you know that.

Then all of my friends and acquaintances who have helped me and have been with me along the way.

So even though there are a lot of injustices in this world, there are still simple things that make life happy. The mere existence of people who have made my existence in this world worthwhile are enough to make this world a happy place for me to live in.

Now it’s your turn to share the things that you’re thankful for and Toblerone will be giving 3 Toblerone Gift Packs to beautiful photograph entries that can creativly show appreciation and gratitude to others. Below are the mechanics of the photo contest:

1. Your entry should be original. You can show anyone in the photo for as long as they were not paid to pose for you.
2. Be as creative as you can be through photographs. Try to utilize the medium.
3. Participants must post their entries in their own website (blog, Multiply, Friendster, Facebook, etc.) and link these photo entries to the gallery found in www.thankyoudayphilippines.com.
4. Place a comment here with the entry link from the Thank You Day Philippines website.
5. I will be shortlisting 5 finalists to move on to the Final Round.
6. All entries will be available for viewing at www.thankyoudayphilippines.com.
7. Winners will be determined by a panel composed of employees of the Sponsor and its PR agency, GeiserMaclang Marketing Communications, Inc.
8. Top 3 entries that were shortlisted will each receive Toblerone Gift Packs.
