Bratpack's 10K project
Bratpack is playing a game later today which they call the 10K project. The 10K stands for the P10,000 worth of Bratpack shopping spree that one lucky pair of winner will be taking home. If your eying for that prize, you just have to show up with your partner and a camera at Bratpack Eastwood CityWalk 2 today, October 20, 2010 by 5PM for registration.

Electrolux Wash-A-Palooza Race
Jonel (letsgosago.net) invited me, Jeff Aspacio (aspacio.net) and Jason Biadog (techmotorsports.blogspot.com) to be part of the Wash-A-Palooza race of Electrolux. We were one of the 20 teams that raced around Eastwood City to complete a variety of challenges that celebrated the newest product lines of Electrolux washers and dryers. Who's team will reign supreme? Read on to find out.
If you plan to buy some appliance, there's also an Electrolux Bodega Sale. Details at the end of this post.
We couldn't come up with a better name for our team so we went with Jonel's suggestion - Team Jacob! If you noticed, all of our names starts with the letter "J"
It was a fun filled frenzied race. There was the Wash-A-Palooza jigsaw puzzle, zipline, tossing of clothes inside the washer, and many more. The most difficult part was the question and answer portion of the race. It took us quite a while to research the different models/types of Electrolux products. It was so difficult that we even incurred a 15 minute penalty for making 3 mistakes. It was a good thing we were leading the pack. After the 15 minutes time penalty was over, we sprinted to get the 4 flags spread across Eastwood and finally to the finish line.
It was an exhausting 2 hour race but i was a great feeling finishing first with my blogger friends. We won P15,000 worth of Sodexho GC and a medal. Everybody also emerged as winners as we all took home a choice of an Electrolux Pop-up toaster, Steam Iron, Rice Cooker or Coffee Maker. I chose to take home the Rice Cooker

The Wash-a-Palooza campaign is all about treating customers to treats by offering discounts and freebies.

Starbucks Treat?
Here's another misleading promotion. Starbucks recently posted an offer to fans for reaching 400,000 likes. It writes that Starbucks will be "treating you all to a Crème Brulee Macchiato (hot or iced) and we'll treat you to a second Crème Brulee Macchiato" First impression - Awesome! However upon further investigation, it seems that you need to buy the first Crème Brulee Macchiato to get the second one. From where I come from, the word "treating" is synonymous with FREE right? Anyway, if you still want to avail of this promo, you just need to say "I am a Starbucks Philippines Facebook Fan" to the barista from October 26 - 28, 2010. Crème Brulee Frappuccino Blended Coffee is not included in this offer and it also failed to indicate if you can get the same size for the extra drink.
TARA Viewing at Legazpi City
Did you get to watch the Amazing Race Asia last Thursday? Azrael and I was fortunate enough to be part of the viewing party of The Amazing Race Asia (TARA) Season 4 Legazpi City leg with Philippine team members Lani Pillinger, Richard Hardin, and Richard Herrera. Legazpeños was excited to see their beautiful city and its culture be showcased in a major TV reality program. To close the event with a bang, Ely Buendia also performed live on stage.
After the episode, the Philippine team of TARA went up the stage to be recognized. Richard Hardin and Richard Herrera told the audience of how committed they were of making Philippines proud by being the winner for TARA. Will they be living up to their promise? Only one way to find out. Stay tuned to TARA Season 4 every Thursday night 9PM at AXN.

Rob. Dept Store Warehouse Sale
I got to check out Robinsons Department Store Warehouse Sale at Robinsons Galleria yesterday afternoon. If it wasn't for the poster that mentioned the location of the sale which was at the 4th Level in between Timezone & Jamaican Patties, I would have probably missed it. That location isn't really where people generally pass though when they go around the mall. The sale runs from October 15 - November 8, 2010.
There were a lot of shades, adidas apparel, beddings and a few appliance on sale. But what caught my eye was the 70% off sale on underwear. I needed new athletic undergarments for my new health regimen.
Mel was able to buy some undergarments at a better discount than mine. Girls were always the better shopper.

HSBC P10 per liter at Caltex
HSBC cardholders are in for a treat tomorrow! Caltex in partnership with HSBC, offers its cardholders an amazing fuel rollback promo of P10 per liter (any type) on October 10, 2010 (10-10-10)! But first, you need to listen to RX 93.1 or Magic 89.9 and wait for the DJs to announce the 10 participating Caltex stations within Metro Manila. There's also a set time frame of claiming the gas promo. Each HSBC cardholder can only avail a maximum of 30 liters. Kudos to Cheftonio for posting this
