Capping Valentines Weekend with a Win

March 13, 2010 by Janey

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.

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. 😀

Minute Maid Contest “Comment” Winner

March 5, 2010 by Janey

Finally, they’ve picked a Comment winner!!!

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.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Minute Maid contest.

Watch out for more exciting contests soon!!! 😉

For the meantime, the Ovi contest is ongoing. Check that out! 🙂

You might be the lucky weekly winner!

*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!

Minute Maid Comment Winner Soon

March 4, 2010 by Janey

I know, I know. Waiting is an agony. It’s been a while and the Blog winner has been announced weeks ago. So what’s taking the delay? Well, there are more Comment entries than the Blog entries for one –which the client has to evaluate thoroughly because there are just too many good entries that it’s really difficult to pick a winner. I’m glad the decision is not in my shoulders since it’s really a tough call.

This is a short clip to update you that the client definitely hasn’t forgotten, but they are taking a bit more time in deciding. Winners will be announced SOON. Hold on to your seats!

Cheers! 🙂

And Good Luck Mates! 😉

Opening a Minute Maid: Experience the Natural Goodness

December 28, 2009 by Janey

There are a multitude of things we enjoy about life. The naked truth is… the biggest pleasure, most often that not, comes from the simplest things. Simple. Natural. Fun. Three words when mixed together in a moment can get me (or the Black Eyed Peas) singing, “I got a feeling… woo-hoo… that tonight’s gonna be a good night.” In another breath, these words can easily improve your outlook and make you feel good.

For some people, fun means drinking beer and partying at events –but that doesn’t necessarily make you feel good all the time. When I think about fun, I remember doing the thrilling Sky Jump at the Macau Tower. That was some ultimate fun coupled with extreme adrenaline rush. Trust me, nothing beats natural high.

And nothing beats natural pulp.

Thirsty? Open a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy Orange –it’s the simplest way to catch the natural goodness of my favorite fruit. With Minute Maid Pulpy Orange, I enjoy the refreshing juice drink all year round. Each plump pulp bits contain nature’s best and only Minute Maid Pulpy Orange can bring Nature’s goodness to me.

Preference always goes to the real pulp than a mock one like a real hug is always better than an icon hug in my mobile phone or instant messaging chats.

In fact, it’s the best. If I can open a bottle of real hug when I need one, I definitely buy in boxes. Nonetheless, I get much satisfaction in knowing that the next best thing to enjoying actual fruit juice, without having to pick and grind, is opening a bottle of real pulpy Minute Maid Pulpy Orange or Mango Orange.

How about you, when do you refresh with Minute Maid? 😉
