Day 16 McSpicy is Here!

Whaddyaknow? I won another contest! This time with McDonald's! They had announced winners almost a month ago, when they first launched the McSpicy. It's been a while since they were in touch so I totally forgot about winning in their Twitter contest.

These came today! Yay! McSpicy mini-party for my mini family!

5 McSpicy BOG cards! Yay!

Love ko 'to! Thank you, McDonald's!

Day 15: Tumatalon-talon sa Super Saya!

It started with this post! My good friend (and cousin!) Thammie Sy wrote about a Nido Supermom supplement where she contributes as writer. I haven't been getting Smart Parenting since I moved out of SYSU Marketing, so I thought to buy one when we went to the bookstore to buy A's school supplies. The Nido Supermom supplement comes with a password that actually gives you a chance to win an iPad Mini!

That was over a month ago.

Today, while working on permits, I received this.

Oh. My. Gulay!!!

I can't believe it! An iPad Mini! For FREE!

Lord, You are the sweetest love of all! 

Day 31: We Have a Winner!

The girls and I have been praying extra hard for tickets to go see Wilson Phillips. We're low on budget so we've been counting on God. See, we were set on getting those discounted Upper Box (yes, Upper Box lang, sniff!) tickets from a coupon site, but missed it by a few hours!

When Random Minds first announced they were bringing in Wilson Phillips, Mia, Lara and I already knew we wanted to watch. We just needed to decide on how much we were willing to spend for it (c'mon, we work hard for our money, plus we have responsibilities - insert sheepish grin here).

Last week, we joined a couple of online contests and kept our fingers crossed. Figured that maybe we can win ourselves the tickets, just in case they don't put anything on sale anymore. Then, mid last week, Lara decides she was gonna sit this one out. She has a 6-month old baby boy (an adorable one at that) and can't leave him for long hours as he is exclusively breast-fed. She also didn't think it would start so late (8pm). So we agreed we'd meet for dinner before the show and that Mia and I will use the tickets in case one of us wins.

Then Friday morning, I woke up to this screaming (well, if text messages could scream, that is) text message from Mia...

Notice how she sends the text at 5:24am?!!!

Yes, Lara won us tickets! And Mia and I get to use them! I cannot believe it! Counting on God. WOW.

Extra blessed. I can't wait for October 12!

Argh! Back to Day 1!

The long weekend allowed me to reflect on life, and thus, has made me realize that because life is short, we must muster much effort to seize each day. So here's to new resolve to get this blog going.

Lord, I pray that I will put you first each day, and start it with You. I also pray that I will find time to count my blessings each and every single day. You have blessed me so, and I want the whole world to know that even the smallest of things add up to great joy.

I was actually waiting for this to jumpstart this blog anew. And it came today, so yes, happy birthday to this blog. I hope this journey takes us somewhere this time around.

DAY 1: BIG SURPRISE!

Back in June, I had joined McDonald's Big N' Tasty Blogger Giveaway with this post. A week later, I found out that I, along with two others, had won. Was told the prize was a camera but that they were waiting to procure it. Last week, I received notification that the cameras were already in stock and that they were shipping it out to us.

Today, I received this! The NEW! Samsung WB150F - a wifi camera that would help me photoblog easily! Yay!

Wifi-ready camera, makes blogging easier!

Thank you, McDonald's! And thank you, Lord!

Don't you just love surprises?! How did God surprise you today?

Day 4: FitFlop Prize!

I finally had time to swing by Trinoma last Sunday, and I finally was able to claim my special prize from FitFlop!

My special prize included a FitFlop shirt, a FitFlop pouch and a FitFlop lanyard.

Of course, my daughter A claimed all these as hers. Lol!

With the blessing God has given you, how were you, in return, a blessing to others?

Day 3: One Direction Swag!

A loves One Direction! I won this DVD at the Zed booth during Jayesslee's concert last week. We finally got to watch this yesterday.

Freebies are cool surprises! Did you win anything lately?
