#WELCOMEZION

Happy Birthday to Me! (A Post-Birthday Giveaway)

It was my birthday last Friday, and to celebrate, I wanted my friends to send in something different, aside from the usual birthday greet. So on Facebook, I asked them to send me a fan sign photo. Or any creative photo made especially for me. To get them going, I offered them a prize (I realize now that I only have a handful of willing friends, LOL).

Out of 33 photo greets, the kids and I were supposed to choose just our top 3. But there were actually 5 photos that stood out, showing my friends' efforts to make me happy (haha, babaw lang ng kaligayahan ko).

The following are our top picks:

My good friend Ganns (www.gannsdeen.com) sent me this photo, plus a cover of Jason Mraz's song "Make It Mine" personalized just for me. He calls it a musical selfie! So sweet!

My sales associate, Jhon, drew this caricature of me for my birthday! He is so talented!

If you want one made, you may contact him via text at 0927.3766481 or at 0908.6262471

My BFF Jenny sent me this one of my godson Mateo with Worship Generation shirts, folded to look like it says "HAPPY BDAY KAYE".
Pretty clever, huh? You can purchase Worship Generation shirts at House of Praise stores, Worship Generation stores or online through www.worshipgen.com

My co-BentoMomma, Monet, sent me this sign made out of bento tools cleverly laid out on a chopping board.
She sure knows what would capture my attention. Her son, Nino, holds their unique and creative birthday greeting!

Special mention goes to my beautiful friend Shiela, who actually sent me a fan sign! Yay!
Thank you, too, Mr. Patrol ng Pilipino, Alvin Elchico! Mwahh! LOL!

So anyway, I've decided to do something similar here, on my blog. See, I have 3 sets of Hillsong United tickets to giveaway. And although I had a contest planned, I wanted to do something different as well.


HILLSONG SELFIE - Concert Tickets Giveaway!
Note: In order to join this contest, you must:

A) Be able to catch the JUNE 11, 2014 concert. Again, please join only if you can make it on June 11. That's next Wednesday. Tickets cannot be exchanged for another concert date. You must be able to claim your tickets from me on the concert day itself, between 4-6PM, at Araneta Coliseum. Failure to claim your tickets before 6PM (unless previously arranged) will forfeit your prize.

B) Like the following on Facebook and Twitter first:

| facebook.com/FirstWivesClubBlog
| facebook.com/beccamusicinc

| facebook.com/HouseofPraise

| twitter.com/nappyKAYE
| twitter.com/beccamusic
| twitter.com/myhouseofpraise

Okay, now that we got that out of the way (I shall check, so please don't skip!), here's what you need to do:

1) Take a selfie with as much Hillsong product merchandise as you can. Merchandise includes (but are not limited to) CDs, DVDs, posters, collectibles, songbooks, photos, shirts, concert souvenirs, fan art, etc. Photo MUST NOT be a collage because you MUST be in the photo with the merch. I encourage you to be as creative as you can, BUT PLEASE USE ORIGINAL CDs AND DVDs. Pirated products will automatically disqualify your entry.

2) Post the photo on my Facebook page wall (http://facebook.com/FirstWivesClubBlog), telling me why you want to watch the Hillsong United concert (as photo caption) and tag Becca Music Inc, House of Praise, along with the two friends you want to bring along to the concert. Share your entry on your timeline and invite your friends to like your photo.

3) On Twitter (optional, but appreciated), tweet me this message "Hey @nappyKAYE! I want to win those #HillsongUnited tickets! Check out my entry on your page! #HillsongSelfie #FWCweeklygiveaway"

4) And finally, on this post, leave a comment (Name, Email address, Link to your Facebook post, Link to your Tweet) so I can double-check that you left an entry. I don't want to accidentally miss out on your photo!

You have until 12noon of June 9 (Monday) to post your entry. Only one entry per person is allowed. If you submit more than one photo, only your first photo will be considered. Winning photos will be judged based on the following criteria:

Creativity/Originality - 40%
Effort - 20%
Optimal Use of Hillsong United Merchandise - 20%
Visual Appeal/Impact - 10%
Number of Likes - 10%

The person who poses with the most number of merchandise on his or her photo will not necessary win this contest. Likewise, the number of likes will play a part, but will not necessarily make you automatically win this contest if your photo gets the most likes. Please take note of the criteria above, and plan your entry. From the number of entries posted on my wall, my friends and I will pick out our Top 3. The best entries will win the following:

TOP PICK 

will win three (3) Hillsong United PATRON - SRO Tickets
(valid only for June 11, 2014 concert)

TWO (2) RUNNERS-UP 

will each win three (3) Hillsong United UPPER BOX B Tickets
(valid only for June 11, 2014 concert)

In addition to these winners, we will also award the following prizes to SPECIAL MENTIONS:

MOST HILLSONG UNITED MERCH (1 winner) 

MOST LIKED ENTRY (1 winner) 

will each win a Hillsong United gift pack from House of Praise 

Winners will be announced on this blog on Monday night. They will also be notified via email (so make sure you leave a comment with a valid and working email address).

Also, please note that if you decide to forfeit your ticket prize (in case you win, that is), I will not be able to take a selfie with your tickets in front of the venue as your souvenir (as requested by a previous winner). I will be working on our merch tables that day. I hope you understand. Hehe.

Anyway, that's it. Happy Birthday to me! Let's see those entries! Yay!

Edit (Monday, 9 June 2014/10:01am): Hi everyone! I am sick and out of the office. As such, I am moving the #HillsongSelfie contest deadline to 1159pm tonight. Photos will be judged tomorrow morning. Winners will be announced at 1pm Tuesday.

That gives you the rest of the day to submit your entries, fix your tags, share the photo and get more likes! If you haven't left a comment on the blog post, please do so!

Thank you for understanding. This blogger has the flu - after getting the flu shot last Friday. Sigh. 

Passion 2014!

Passion Manila 2014 is happening this week, and this is mainly why I haven't had time for the blog (and other things). Yes, the worldwide student movement of the Passion Conferences (led by Pastor Louie Giglio) will once again be on Philippine soil, and it is two days away!!!

If you were there during Passion Manila 2008 and 2010, you should know how incredible an impact they had on thousands of students - lives were forever transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit on those days. After 3 long years, they are back! I can't wait for Thursday and Friday!

If you're going, don't forget to bring a clean, new towel to donate to Operation Blessing! They are collecting these for the benefit of High School students in the Visayas affected by Typhoon Yolanda.

Now, if you don't have tickets...

Here's good news! Becca Music, in cooperation with House of Praise, is sponsoring this week's giveaway (well last week's, but you already know I'm a week behind my giveaways, so anyway...)!

I am giving away a total of four Passion tickets for Thursday, March 27. Two Patron tickets, and 2 Upper Box A tickets. Two people will win this week, each receiving a pair. Winners will be picked by 11:59PM tonight, right when the giveaway ends. Winners may claim their tickets from me at the Smart Araneta Coliseum anytime after 4PM on Thursday. So simple to join! And well, you know what to do... Remember, the promo ends tonight at 11:59PM, so join right away - right when you read this. Yes, pronto.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Don't forget to give me your mobile number (first entry option) so I can inform you once you win (I will be texting at midnight, so please don't get mad).

And remember, this giveaway will only run for 24hours.

So. Join now!

~~~ * ~~~

UPDATE:

I just picked both Patron and Upper A Ticket Winners!

Congratulations to...

DIOSA DE GUZMAN (Winner of 2 Patron Tickets)

and to... 

DEEYAN DIMARUCUT (Winner of 2 Upper A Tickets) 

I sent a text to you both. Please reply to confirm that you can make it. You may also assign a proxy or transfer your prize to your friend. But please let me know. I've given you instructions on how you can claim your tickets. Again, please text back before 3pm or I will give away your tickets to people waiting outside the venue.

And yes, please don't forget to bring a clean towel to donate.

Congratulations!

Unstoppable!

Nick Vujicic's UNSTOPPABLE Live in Manila!

Unstoppable Faith (May 18, CCF Center) 
Unstoppable Dream (May 20, Smart Araneta Coliseum)

Two conferences you SHOULD NOT MISS this 2013! Nick Vujicic is a wonderful motivational speaker who will cause you to look at your life with fresh eyes and do everything through the Lord's strength!


"Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around a friend; no hands to hold the ones you love; no fingers to experience touch; no way to lift or carry things. How much more difficult would life be if you were living without arms and hands? Or what about legs? Imagine if instead of no arms, you had no legs. No ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand. Now put both of those scenarios together… no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that affect your everyday life?" - Nick Vujicic, www.lifewithoutlimbs.org 

No arms. No legs. Nick Vujicic (pronounced "VOOY-EE-CHEECH") faces this stark reality each day, but in every picture of him, we see a smiling young man who lives what he calls "a ridiculously good life." Born in Melbourne, Australia back in 1982, Nicholas Vujicic was born without arms or legs from a rare disorder called tetra-amelia. His disability was a daily struggle against the usual challenges of school and growing up such as bullying and self-esteem issues, as well as with depression and loneliness.

But God had a plan for him all along. Nick began to see how his accomplishments were an inspiration to many, and began to draw strength and passion in life from his faith in God. He began giving motivational speeches and started his own motivational speaking company called Attitude is Altitude. He also became the president and CEO of a non-profit organization called Life Without Limbs. From just being a man without limbs, Nick became a living testimony of God's great plan for each of us.

Today, Nick Vujicic has traveled across the globe giving inspirational and motivational speeches on overcoming the challenges of a limbless life through Jesus Christ. He has recorded audio commentaries and DVDs about his life and speeches; and written two books called, "Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life" and the recently released "Unstoppable: The Incredible Power of Faith". God continues to use Nick's testimony to touch the hearts of people from all walks of life and bring the hope of Jesus Christ.

RESERVE YOUR TICKETS TODAY! Call Becca Music Inc. at 910.5352 / 910.5524 or visit www.beccamusic.com/reservations!

See You!

I love watching these girls. Something about them keeps me hooked. I can't stop watching their videos. Don't miss them when they come to Manila on the 21st of June.

And stay tuned to my Birthday Blowout because I'm giving away tickets to this event! Yay! See you there!

Youtube's Singing Twins!

Thanks to the world of Youtube, world-class talents such as twin sisters Janice and Sonia Lee are now certified singing sensations. Having garnered over 62,111,900 video views around the world, these sisters are showing the world that they've got a lot of talent and love to offer people who are willing to listen.

In 2008, the duo discovered the world of YouTube. Fascinated by the concept of connecting with an unseen audience all over the world, they created their first account under the name "Jayesslee". The name was their attempt to be clever – fusing both of their initials and spelling it out.

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia to Korean parents, Janice and Sonia never thought that they would be touring the United States of America, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada and now – for the first time ever – the Philippines!

On June 21, 2012 (Thursday), JAYESSLEE will be stepping out of the virtual world and will be performing LIVE at 3/F Robinsons Forum (Pioneer) 7:30 in the evening with their inspiring, feel-good, and passionate music.

Catch them LIVE IN MANILA as they continue their Asian tour in the Philippines!

For tickets, call Ticketworld (891-9999) or BMI Tickets (910-5524).

Ticket prices:

BIRTHDAY BLOWOUT!

T'was my birthday yesterday! And I had planned this blowout to run for the last 14 days of May. Alas, work and life got in the way (again!). So we're starting today - a day AFTER my birthday... because I still want this to happen! After all, I have all the swag here, waiting for me to give them away.

A little disclaimer first. I work for brand. I have been in Marketing for the past so and so years. Because of what I do, I have friends in the same line of work - thus the abundance in swag. I ask demand my friends for promotional items and they oblige. Haha! The prizes you will see in this blowout have zero cost to them. My friends have paid zilch to get them in this blowout, and I have paid zilch as well. Everything is here because I have cool friends who love me. Naks!

God has been so good to bless me with so much (the secret to youth included, ha!), I don't feel a day over 16. Haha! Seriously. So I wanted to share my blessings with you! This blowout will run for 14 days (non-consecutive, depends if I find time to post). I will be giving out 5 things per blowout day. You have about 3 days to send in your entries (from the time the blowout is announced). 5 winners will be picked per blowout day to win one out of 5 things. All in all, I will have 70 prizes and 70 winners. So yay! Watch out for Day 1!

*NOTE: Congratulations to sweetie_mayumi for winning a special prize for guessing what's next on the blog this month. :) It's still May, right? LOL! Leave a comment below with your Twitter ID and I'll send you instructions on how to claim your special prize.

Ticket Winners!

We did this the old, hard way - to A's delight! She loves organizing raffles and contests, garage sales and parties, etc.

So when I got to the office today, the first thing I did was sort out the tweets. I had marked the tweet entries as 'favorite' (if I didn't mark yours, then that means your account is on private, hence I couldn't see your tweets to me), and made duplicate entries for those that RT'd my tweet regarding the contest.

Doing this the old, hard way. Sorting, printing, cutting, rolling and putting everything in a...

...basket! Couldn't find the fishbowl. Hehe.

Anyway, there were 48 entries in all. No disqualified entries, except for those that tweeted more than once (I still considered your original tweet plus an RT, if any). Each person could have only two entries max.

A was all too excited to pick out winners. Told her she had to close her eyes.

Excited!

Hey, you can't choose that way...

... you have to close your eyes! Hahaha!

And the winners for this contest are...

1) JM :D (@memyselfandi_mj)

2) Gayle Robediso (@GayleWithAY)

and... 3) Yanii Calaminos (@iamyanii)

You each won two (2) Upper B tickets to the Israel Houghton & New Breed + Planetshakers Concert, happening on April 21 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum! Please wait for instructions via Twitter DM (you must follow me @nappyKAYE) on how you can claim your prize.

Thanks to all who participated!


Stay tuned! I have another Israel Houghton contest coming up!

Israel Houghton + Planetshakers Swag Attack PART I!

Israel Houghton LIVE in Manila!

GM, my friend and co-DJ on Just For Teens (yes, was a kid DJ sometime back), has been bugging us about getting Israel Houghton (pronounce as Hoh'-tin and not Hew-ton, folks) to come over to the Philippines for a concert. I've been trying to explain to everyone that we're only distributors and have no hand (really) in bringing artists in (well except for a few who actually ask for our help). So when I heard from the grapevine about Israel coming over, I sent GM a message right away.

Yes, folks, it's finally happening! Israel Houghton is coming to Manila! What's more, he's bring the whole gang with him! Yes, that's right, The New Breed's coming, too! And if that isn't enough to get you all extra giddy and jumping up and down, they're also having The Planetshakers share the stage with them! Not one, not two, but 3 amazing artists in one night! Woohoo!

My officemate says this is going to be like November's SAVED Festival, but I think this is way bigger. Having Israel Houghton here is a feat. I remember seeing a concert poster in Singapore back during the New Year holidays and thought they must be extra blessed to have him visit. But alas, he's coming here! FINALLY!

Mark your calendars! It's all happening on the 21st of April 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Show starts at 730pm, while gates open at 530pm. If you haven't got tickets yet, I seriously suggest you go get yourself one. NOW! Tickets have been selling like hotcakes (because apparently, it's not only GM who's excited to see Israel Houghton LIVE in Manila! Ha!).

If you don't know who Israel Houghton is, you'd probably be surprised to realize that you actually know most of his songs - "Friend of God", "Lord, You are Good", "Here I Am to Worship", "Moving Forward", etc. I was discussing this concert with some girlfriends two weeks ago, and T tells me "I know the songs, I just didn't know it was Israel who sang them!" LOL!

For someone who has won dozens of awards, you'd think Israel Houghton would be a household name in the Philippines. Well, he will be - after this event. That's for sure.

DON'T MISS THIS!
