This is my official entry to the side contest.

This summer, I hope to have at least one summer getaway with my family similar to our Holyweek trip last year where we toured the Northern part of the Philippines. Since I’m preggy and may not stand long trips or plane rides, an overnight swimming somewhere will be great.

Now, with the above list, these are the things I want:
1. Free Bikini Waxing Treatment at LayBare (1 winner)
2. Movie Passes from Eastwood City Malls (4 winners with 4 tickets each)
3. Haagendaz Gift Certificate worth Php500 (1 winner)
4. Blogging From Home books (3 winners)
5. Neutrogena Wave (1 winner)

I’ve been with Lay Bare Waxing Salon since August of last year and I read from their site that some pregnant women opt to have a Brazilian wax on their 36th week. It must be the poor shaving done at the hospitals.

I haven’t seen a movie in a theater for ages. If my memory serves me right, hubby and I only watched once, we were still dating then. Movie passes would be great as there are a few good movies that I want to catch in theaters.

I love ice cream and so does my little girl. Her favorite is strawberry flavor. Sharing a pint oh Haagendaz with her would be a perfect mom-daughter bonding.

I’ve been thinking a lot about earning from home since late last year and I think this Blogging From Home book would offer great tips on how one can be a successful blogger at home and earn from it. It can help me become the WAHM I’m dreaming to be.

Lastly, this year, I’m vowing to take care of myself more. Neutrogena Wave would the be perfect help to me in taking care of my skin.

The full mechanics for the side contest are here.

Nokia 3600 Slide

This is one of the latest projects I finished being a personal shopper. My client is based in Samar and is my mom’s officemate. I really had a hard time coordinating and finishing this project because:

The client is far and everything is text-based.
The above unit is rare. As of this writing, I can’t find a similar unit for myself.

Yep, after purchasing this unit for the client, I tested it at home to make sure it works. I also checked if the accessories are complete. And as I test the phone, I realized it is something that can work for me, minus the 3G capability.

This Nokia 3600 slide comes with 3.2MP camera, USB connection, bluetooth, radio and a card slot. I was able to get for a free 1gb memory card from my supplier because the package does not include one. Apart from that, I also bought a generic pouch as a freebie. Never mind the headache it caused me to get this unit as long as I make the client happy.

My mom is probably back in Samar as I type this. She flew back this afternoon after a week of seminar at Island Cove, Cavite. She’s carrying this unit (and another one) and I hope to get the client’s feedback about it within the week. I hope to have another satisfied client.

Goodbye to the Political Ads on my Blog!

These ads never bothered me as much before. I first saw them when I opened my blog from home a few weeks back and my 3-year-old daughter chipped Mommy si Manny Villar oh!. Yes, as much as I don’t want to admit it, this politician’s ads are pretty effective. His jingle is almost everyone’s last-song-syndrome and his TVC airs 3-5 times before the campaign period has even began.

And I must say, I became sick and tired of seeing him on TV and hearing his jingle anywhere. Mas lalo akong nasuya when he invaded blog sites! Come on, wala bang hangganan? Wala bang pipiliing medium? Besides, my mind is made up. I know who will I vote in the coming elections.

Thank you to Ms. Earth for her post on how to block certain ads from running on your site, I don’t see any political ads anymore.

I configured it this morning and I’m glad not see those ads anymore as I check my site a few minutes ago.

To all registered voters, let’s not be swayed by massive political ads and surveys alone. Keep in my that the May 2010 elections will greatly impact our, your kids’ and probably even your apos’ lives. Vote wisely!
