Coffee Shop Survey

 

 

Dear Readers and Coffee Lovers,

 

A friend’s cousin is planning to open a coffee shop soon in the Metro.  To better understand the market needs, he is holding a coffee shop survey at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PHLCoffeeShopSurvey. 

 

 

COFFEE SHOP SURVEY

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PHLCoffeeShopSurvey

 

 

It takes LESS THAN 5 minutes to answer.  I have taken the survey myself.  He is raffling off ten (10) SM GCs worth PHP 1K to the survey respondents.

 

 

It ain’t bad to get your feedback and comments on coffee shops and probably WIN a P1K SM GC for 5 minutes of your time and feedback.

KFC Photo Caption CONTEST – Taste the Best Summer Ever

 

 

Last year, KFC ran the KFC Krushers Sweet Escape Contest.  I sent the link to Madz and Pearl knowing both are into creative photographs.  They started really getting into it and one afternoon, we spent our time trying to come up with a good photo to submit.

 

Ta-da!

An Afternoon of SereniTea and a FUN Photo Shoot

KFC BBQ Rods

 

 

Well, what do you think?  Obviously, we didn’t win.  But the creative shoot under the rain and the heat under the costumes became a really funny and FUN memory for me.

 

 

This year, KFC launched A Taste of Summer campaign where they introduced three new products.  These products are the Ben10 Bucket Meal, the Fish Twister, and the Summer Krushers.  All the contestants need to do is to shoot themselves wearing a typical summer outfit in an environment totally not associated with summer enjoying any of the three new KFC products.  Quite an interesting, creative and fun-filled photo that must be!

 

 

Each category has its own assigned Grand Prize:

Fish Twister Best Photo Prize: A shopping trip for 2 to either Hong Kong, Vietnam or Bangkok.

Ben10 Bucket Meal Best Photo Prize: A trip for 4 to either of the following Asian theme parks: HK Disneyland, HK Ocean Park or Universal Studios Singapore.

Summer Krushers Best Photo Prize: A beach trip for 4 to either of the following beaches: Coron, Boracay, Panglao.

 

Whether you joined that contest or not, YOU can join this one!

Glutamax Unveils Its New Endorser in La Greta

 

 

Photo Credit:

http://www.carloscpalma.com/

 

Glutamax revealed its new endorser last Wednesday at the Eastwood Central Plaza.  Gretchen Barretto is now the new face of Glutamax, replacing Jinky Oda “Jacqui O.” who the brand originally launched with.  The TV ad campaign was also presented in the same event showing Gretchen taking off make-up, jewelry and pricey dress signifying that she shines without all of that only attributed to one reason… what she referred to as her “hidden wealth” –beautiful glowing skin (“Kutis Mayaman”).  That “hidden wealth” she mentioned is a sharp line to end the ad with, biting yet witty.

 

 

And according to her, what helps her maintain that beautiful white glow is Glutamax.  More of her interview during the event, she shares that she is very happy to be part of the new campaign and be part of the Glutamax family.

 

 

Before the big reveal, the first part of the event was the awarding of “The New Me” Blog Contest.  Jose Paul Legaspi, Healthwell president and CEO, partnered with Nuffnang (www.nuffnang.com), Asia Pacific’s biggest online community network company to stage this blog contest about “personal transformation”, which is part of their global promotional campaign for Glutamax.

 

Learning about the contest from the Nuffnang’s site, I joined with my “The New Me” entry.  Before they announced the winners, a string of wonderful music filled the event venue with Nyoy Volante, Julie Ann Santos (I’m not sure if I got the name right) and popular Filipino violinist Jon Lesaca taking the stage.  A segment of the program also showcased a slideshow of the contest participants flashing their “Before and After” photos in the wide screen.  Mojo and Suzie of Magic 89.9 hosted that evening’s Glutamax event.  Friends from the media were also present.

 

 

The esteemed Glutamax team went on stage and welcomed Gretchen Barretto to their family.  Jon Lesaca went back on stage and serenaded the new endorser at the pleasant request of the latter.

 

 

The night ended with a big buzz when Gretchen supposedly “walked out” of the mini-press conference that was held after the event.  The alleged “walk-out” happened after Gretchen was asked how she feels about her “Maalala Mo Kaya” back-to-back shows being pitted against Claudine’s show in the rival channel.  She vibrantly replied that she was extremely happy and proud that the Barrettos occupy that specific timeslot on Saturdays –implying that there’s more gain than loss for both sisters.  I think the media wasn’t satisfied with the answer and kept prying about how she really feels that made her storm out of the conference apparently with tears in her eyes.

And on a different note, they announced the winners.  Congratulations to:

 

5th Prize: Lizz of http://lizzbuenaventura.com 

http://www.lizzbuenaventura.com/2009/12/new-me.html

4th Prize: Sophie of http://www.beautynomics.com 

http://www.beautynomics.com/blog/2009/12/31/the-new-me/ 

3rd Prize: Jeff of http://www.aspacio.net 

http://www.aspacio.net/2009/12/new-me.html

2nd Prize: http://jonnieanzures.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-me.html 

 

 

 

Until now writing about this, I have butterflies in my stomach remembering the moment they announced the first-prize winner.  I heard Mojo say Jane and say Chua and Sophie cheering and congratulating me… I think in my joy, I even hugged Sophie!  In my mind and heart, I felt like I did hug her (she was beside me) but I’m not really that sure now because everything felt like a blur.  I walked to the stage (shaking) and accepted the prize.  My mind was completely in pieces and when asked the question, I just stuttered my way through the answer –still in disbelief that I won the Mac Book.

 

 

Another highlight of the night for me was my bonding moment with Jed.  Jed is the cute, smart, and sweet son of Jeff and Jen Aspacio who was feeling bad because he thought I left without saying goodbye.  Bubba was so huge that he was covering Jed’s view.  I walked over to a pouting Jed.  I explained that I didn’t leave yet and I would of course say goodbye to him if I left.  I hugged him and said sorry.

 

 

He was quietly pouting for one whole minute… then he suddenly hugged me tight and broke down to tears saying he thought I already left.  After that, we talked about his favorite color and mine, butterfly kisses and his flat whistle and both of us left in a happy, beaming mood.

 

 

Thanks again Nuffnang for holding this contest and Glutamax for picking me as a winner.  I enjoyed writing the piece and I hope the entry truly inspired others take a step towards their own transformation –inside and out.

 

XOXO,

Janey

Capping Valentines Weekend with a Win

 

 

Last December, Between Bites, together with Minute Maid, hosted a contest on the site: Opening a Minute Maid: Experience the Natural Goodness.  There were two parts to that contest.  One would win the Blog section, while the other would win the Comment section.

 

Last February, right before Valentines weekend, Minute Maid has announced the Blog winner.  It was the entry of Kate who won.

 

http://meowbykate.blogspot.com/2010/01/time-for-orange-break.html

 

I requested Kate to share with us a few photos of her “prize” experience. 

 

“I am actually quite embarrassed because there are no pictures of me.  I took pics of the room, the food we ate and the complimentary wine service.  I also took a thank you shot for Minute Maid.  Btw, we didn’t get to avail of the massage yet because it was scheduled the next day, meaning we would have checked out na.  We decided that we’d just save it for our 7th Anniversary this April 🙂

 

Anyway, thank you so much for hosting this contest 🙂  It was a really tiring week for us, since we came all the way from Clark and then drove to Makati to get the voucher.  The hotel stay plus wonderful breakfast buffet was a perfect way to end our Valentine’s weekend.”   ~Kate

 

Sharing Kate’s photos from her EDSA Shangri-la stay.  No photos though of Kate herself but she did take a “thank you” shot for Minute Maid.

 

 

 

Thank You Minute Maid!

  

Thanks Kate for joining the contest! 🙂  I hope you enjoyed your EDSA Shangri-la Chi Spa Holiday Package. 😀

Congratulations…

 

Comment:

Christian Homeschooler

 

A regular day for me starts with me fixing up breakfast for my boys and getting ready for homeschool. While I won’t have it any other way, it can still be tiring at times. Because the truth of the matter is, my day do not stop at homeschooling. I then have to prepare lunch and zero in on my online job thereafter. It can be crazy, I kid you not. Especially now that I have ventured into yet another online job, as a virtual assistant. This requires me to be glued to my office until the wee hours of the morning.

 

I’ll have to admit that it’s not always bright and shiny everyday. But I cannot be more thankful that I have discovered a partner that melts away my stress. Even during my “walang tulugan moments,” I’d find myself grabbing a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy Orange. It somehow perks me up, switching me back to the timezone that I needed to be at a given moment. (Boss’ time zone is UTC-7 hours)

 

Minute Maid Pulpy Orange refreshes me at random parts of my ever packed days (and nights) — yes, even way after the hubby has gone to dreamland. =)

 

You just won The Spa package worth Php5,000. 

 

Congratulations in winning the Comments category of the ‘Minute Maid Get Closer to Nature’ contest. 

 

An acknowledgment email will be sent to you shortly on how to claim your prize.

*Kindly requesting both winners, if it ain’t such an inconvenience, to send me a photo of their “prize” experience so I can share it with the other readers.  Much appreciated!  Congrats!
