Join The ‘You Gotta See This’ Video Contest
Dec 8th
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of iLASIK. All opinions are 100% mine.
Abbott Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO) is a company focused on providing the full range of advanced refractive technologies and support to help eye care professionals deliver optimal vision and lifestyle experiences to patients of all ages. With this in hand, they are holding a video contest to people who have had some eye problems or who’ve had given better eyesight using modern eye procedures like iLasik.
AMO wants to know how better vision could improve — or has already improved — your life. Submit a video in one of the following categories:
- “My contacts are getting in the way of my good time”
- “My favorite sport or activity would be so much cooler with better vision”
- “You should see life after the iLASIK Procedure”
The prize at stake is a whooping $5000. After you submit your video, let your friends (force them if need be, lol) to vote for your video. Votes really do matter. Read the rest of this entry »
Jaypee Online’s $1500 Thanksgiving Giveaway
Nov 1st
It’s the time of the year again wherein I join blog contests just to test my luck on these (though I’ve proven I have none). This time, Philippine Blog Awards 2009 Winner of the Technology Category, Jaypee Online, will give away lots and lots of prizes that sum up to a whooping $1,500.
But why? It is Thanksgiving in the USA and Jaypee is from the USA (though he’s pure Filipino) so as part of that celebration, he is holding this contest for all of us. What’s in store? A lot. There are theme licenses, packages and more from websites like StudioPress, WP Zoom, WP Now, Elegant Themes, WP WebHost, Pro Theme Design, and Press75. Well who wouldn’t want to have a premium WordPress theme eh? There are also prizes from our very own Jehzeel Laurente and Batang Yagit.
If you want to try your luck too just like me, then head over to Jaypee Online’s $1,500 Thanksgiving Giveaway post where you could find the contest details, mechanics and how-to’s. BTW, prizes are posted below just to make you see what’s gonna be yours/mine/theirs soon. Good luck. 
Philippine Blog Awards 2009, a Success!
Oct 27th
Woot, suddenly it felt like iBlog5 all over again. Well that’s what I felt during the Philippine Blog Awards 2009 – Visayas last October 18, 2009 at the Ayala City Sports, Cebu Business Park in Cebu City.
Miong, Prince, Bryan, Ada, Winston, Mica, Kevin
Though there were not too many bloggers who attended, the night was still full of fun and surprises. My Cebu Bloggers Society family was there. I had fun talking and cam whoring with Mica and Ada. It’s nice seeing Winston and Vanjohnn after a long time too. The last four I’ve mentioned are the factors that made PBA 09 feel like iBlog5. 
I’d like to congratulate Sinjin for winning the Chikka’s Readers’ Choice Award. A very BIG congratulations to Cebu Bloggers Society for winning the Visayas’ Bloggers’ Choice Award! Kudos also to Globe’s Ten Digital Tribe winners, mostly from CBS. Dahong Laya also wins the Best Visayan Blog. For a list of winners announced during the event, click here.

I Cast My Vote: Philippine Blog Awards 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Special Award (Visayas)
Oct 2nd
If I were to choose between voting for my blog, The Extraordinary Kiddo, and voting for another blog, then I’d probably vote… hmmm, let me think first. Hahaha.
First of all, it’s great knowing I’m part of the long line of nominees for the Philippine Blog Awards 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Special Award for Visayas. Together with me are some friends and co-Cebu Bloggers Society members (like Mikyu, Aika, Kristine Roa and Jayr). My classmate’s boyfriend is also one of the nominees.
But where will my vote befall? Should I go narcissus-style and vote for me and only me or should I cast my vote on a blog deserving to be branded Bloggers’ Choice?
…drum roll! Read the rest of this entry »
