Sarap ng Pasko with Eden

Labels:

Christmas is just around the corner and Eden is right there to welcome the Yuletide season with us. As early as September 4, Eden, in partnership with ABS-CBN ran a series of cook-off competition in search for 100 Eden inspired dishes from 100 towns around the Philippines. Now, they launched the Sarap ng Pasko campaign that aims to find out the most favored Eden dish through a voting contest. The dish and town that has the most number of votes will receive 2 Million Pesos worth of prizes. Those who vote for the winning town also has a chance of winning P100,000.

http://www.sarapngpasko.com/resources/images/header/sarapngpasko.png


Eden started the countdown to 100 days on September 4, 2010, at SM Mall of Asia. They prepared a great program lineup that included performances by a children musical ensemble, The Company and starlets singing the Eden theme song. Midway in the event, Eden unveiled their Christmas tree which was shown live on ABS-CBN's TV Patrol.



Eden showcased the 100 dishes from 100 towns through a simple video presentation. It would have been great if we would have tasted the dishes ourselves but I guess that would be too much of a logistic effort.

Promo Mechanics:
  1. Vote for your favorite town and the Eden dish for that town

      14 Arayat St. Boni, Mandaluyong City or;
    • ABS CBN Foundation Inc.
      ELJ Communications Building
      Mother Ignacia St. Quezon City
  4. Multiple entries allowed
  5. View complete promo mechanics
Promo Period: September 4 - December 2, 2010

Promo Prize:

  • Town with most votes - P2,000,000 worth of prizes (support fund for the community)
  • One (1) Home Partner (Randomly selected voter for the town with the most votes) - P100,000
  • Nine (9) towns with the most number of votes/entries
    • Featured in the 2011 Special Eden Packaging
    • P10,000 EACH

Upside:
  • You help out a town improve their community
  • Voters also win

  • "KFPI reserves the right to change the Terms & Conditions of this Promotion without any prior notice, as well as to amend, cancel, suspend, terminate or postpone this Promotion without any liability or compensation whatsoever to any participant or any other party."

FREE Online Backup and Storage

Labels: ,

UPDATE: Just got my maximum FREE storage space of 10GB thanks to you guys. I want to help you increase your storage space too. So go ahead and paste your referral link in the comments section below. For those who haven't registered yet, please click on the referral links in the comments section instead of the one in the body of this post.

I have been using Dropbox for a few months now thanks to my brother who convinced me to use it. Dropbox in a nutshell is an online backup and storage service that syncs files on your computer to the cloud or the internet and vice-versa. Finding it hard to grasp the concept? Let's just say you have files on your computer you want to backup. You would probably save a backup of your file/s in your partitioned hard drive, external hard drive, USB thumb drive, or email. However, every time you edit a specific file you need to copy and paste it again to back it up. Very tedious! Dropbox makes it easier for you by syncing a Dropbox folder on your computer into the website of Dropbox as you make the changes. No need to copy and paste files over and over again. For a basic account, you get a whopping 2GB worth of storage absolutely FREE by simply registering. You could also increase your Dropbox storage space by doing what I am doing now, referring your friends to Dropbox. Every person you invite will give both you and your friend an extra 250MB space. Dropbox has recently increased the referral limit from 5GB to 10GB, which means you get more space for the Dropbox love you spread. I'm sure your friends will thank you for introducing this service as you are going to thank me for introducing it to you.

P250 GC at Italianni's?

Labels:

I don't know about you guys but I just found the P250 GC at Italianni's subscription promo somewhat deceitful! Of all the companies out there, Italianni's is the last one I expected this from. If you aren't familiar with the promotion I am babbling about, head over to their site, italiannis.com.ph, and read the pop-up message of the promotion. Italianni's promises to give you a P250 GC once you join their mailing list. Before I make a post, I make sure to try it for myself first. So I completed the subscription process and received a text message indicating that I can claim my P250 GC with a purchase of P750! Now, why didn't they state that in the details? I just find it misleading the way they intentionally conceal the complete information just to attract people. What do you think?

FREE Parma Ham at Krazy Garlik

Labels:

UPDATE: It seems that the Parma Ham isn't that FREE after all according to Teresahundana who left a comment on my "P250 GC at Italianni's?" blog post. She says that you have to make P500 worth of purchase before getting the FREEBIE. Can anyone confirm this?

There's a new restaurant in town giving away a scrumptious Parma Ham Roulade appetizer worth P545 absolutely for FREE! And that restaurant is none other than the recently opened Krazy Garlik located at 2nd Floor, Greenbelt 5. I just happened to stumble upon their promo through their website, krazygarlik.com, when I found out that I was to have a lunch meeting there. You just need to register your name, email and mobile number to have the mobile coupon immediately sent to you. Not clear when this promo exactly will end so do register as soon as you can. Check out the review of OAP on their dishes.

FREE KLM Luggage Tags

Labels:

I was a bit hesitant to post the FREE KLM luggage tags at first because I didn't get feedback from anyone in the Philippines that received the promised tags yet. That was last month. All that changed 2 days ago when Mel and I finally got our KLM luggage tags delivered to our doorstep. Now that I have confirmed the authenticity of this promotion, I can finally share it to you. There are only around 42,000 available tags as of writing this post.



Mel had her cellphone number and address included in the luggage tag which I blurred for obvious security reasons. She wasn't happy how the photos turned up because my head got cut so she asked KLM if she could print new ones to which they happily obliged.


Mel's KLM luggage tags


Unlike Mel's, my KLM luggage tags looked great. Only problem is I forgot to include my contact details. How smart of me!


My KLM bag tags




The luggage tags were a bit flimsy. I expected it to be hard like a credit card but instead, it feels like a prepaid load card. There are 2 pre-cut luggage tags with small holes at the side for you to tie a rope to.

Get your FREE KLM luggage tags by visiting baggagelabel.klm.com.

Despicable Me

Labels:

I've been wanting to see Despicable Me ever since I saw the movie trailers. Fortunately, a few bloggers, including myself, were invited to watch Despicable Me in Newport Cinemas at Resorts World. To make the movie more awesome than it already is, we got to watch it in 3D!



What's great about Newport Cinemas is that you won't run out of seats. It could be because only a few people still know about the a cinema on top of Resorts World or maybe because some consider it a out of the way. But sooner or later, more and more people are going to come and watch movies here so it's best to take advantage of the convenience and space while you still can. Newport Cinemas is a great alternative for those box office movies that is difficult to get tickets to.



Going back to Despicable Me, the 3D animation was simply eye-popping. There were a lot of scenes that maximized the 3D effect. This movie is made to be enjoyed in 3D

The plot and storyline is easy to grasp for both kids and adults. It creates a new twist to the usual protagonist VS antagonist battle which quite frankly is refreshing. The characters are all so cute and funny even for the evil villains.

I really enjoyed watching Despicable Me. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to leave the theaters with a smile on their faces.

Yoshinoya Bday Bash

Labels:

As most of you who are subscribed to the Boy Kuripot Facebook Fan page may know, I just celebrated my very 1st blog sponsored birthday bash courtesy of one of my favorite restaurants - Yoshinoya! I invited a few bloggers and readers of Boy Kuripot to celebrate with me on this happy occasion. I had the time of my life getting to know my guests and catching up with my fellow bloggers while eating Yoshinoya's latest bento box meals and playing a few games.



Yoshinoya doesn't really have a party package but they made an exception just for me! Isn't that sweet? They took the liberty of creating some games to entertain us. The first of which is Pinoy Henyo. Azrael and Lace took the lead in guessing the word. It was total chaos!

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs626.snc4/58601_10150240022600136_96138990135_14516673_1853027_n.jpg

And the winners losers are... Team Azrael. Regardless, everyone had a smile on their face.



Yoshinoya surprised us with their newest bento box meals. There are 3 you can choose from. Chicken, Tempura and Pork Tonkatsu bento box. All meals comes with rice, tofu, and sukiyaki beef with vegetables. All the bento boxes are great but I must say I prefer the chicken the most.


Tempura Bento Box


Pork Tonkatsu Bento Box

After our dinner, we had one last game. Not sure what this game is called but the mechanics was that from 1 word, you had to list down the most things related to that word. On the last round, the category was "Yoshinoya menu." Many wrote down soft drinks brands to increase their list haha


Everybody was given Yoshinoya GCs as prizes for the games and raffle. I'm so glad to see everyone as happy as me. Once again, I would like to thank Yoshinoya for sponsoring and organizing my party. I also want to thank my fellow bloggers and avid readers for keeping this blog alive! To those who didn't get invited, don't worry, this is just the beginning of many parties and events to come.
