Want to Win an iPad?

My kids have been bugging me for an iPad. Sadly, momma's budget isn't big enough to accommodate spending on gadgets. Nope, our disposable income for gadgets is zero. I look at my friends who aren't earning much, and yet, they have iPads and all sorts of techie stuff. Whereas, I'm stuck with a single iPhone - a company-issued phone. Not that I'm complaining. I'm still blessed beyond measure. My mom says it's really about priority. And she's right. Whereas some people opt to get the latest phone or what-have-you, I set aside money for our annual trip to the homeland. I realize that a trip's budget can actually fetch us two nice iPads.

But like I said, it's all about priority. That, plus my little boy will be starting school soon. So yeah, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying to the high heavens that someone will give my kids an iPad. Save momma the spending money, please? Haha!

It's amazing how many iPad promos there are out there. Even Clara Ole has joined the bandwagon! Here's an easy way to win one!

1) To join, LIKE the Clara Ole page on Facebook.
2) Click on the Great Food Fest tab or go to apps.facebook.com/greatfoodfest.
3) Fill out all the fields in the registration form and click "REGISTER" (you only need to register once).
4) After registering, you automatically get a digital ticket and a chance to win a CLARA OLE DAILY GIFT PACK prize, and the weekly grand prize - an iPad!
5) Invite your Facebook friends to join by clicking the "INVITE" button. If your Facebook friends successfully register for the promo, you are entitled to another digital ticket, thereby increasing your chances to win. The more friends you invite and register, the more chances of winning.
6) Everyday, two winners will be drawn to win the DAILY GIFT PACK prize.
7) At the end of the week, one lucky registrant will win an iPad. Clara Ole will be giving out 8 iPads throughout the duration of the promo.
8) Promo is from June 11, 2012 to August 3, 2012.

Winning is easy! No purchase is necessary. You must, however, be 21 years old and above to win. Good luck!

Draw Something!

Draw Something!

It's the new Temple Run (although I never really got attached much to that app, but you know what I mean), Draw Something! -- the app making waves nowadays. Zynga, social network game giant, reportedly purchased the company behind Draw Something, OMGPop, for P200million. I am not surprised. With the rising popularity of Draw Something! -- hitting Top App (both Top Purchased and Top Free) in just six weeks since its launch, someone's sure to take notice.

Look at me. I am soooooo addicted. If I used to stay up blogging (yes, excuse the partial absence), then this app has taken its place. ADDICTED. And so are my friends. Right now, I have more or less 20 active games with friends all over the world.

That's the great thing about this app. You get to play against a friend from the other side of the globe. Never mind if it's 2am in Australia, or 12mn in Japan, chances are, your friend's up and addicted as well. LOL! The funny thing about this game is that there is no competition. You do not play for points or rank. YOU JUST PLAY. It's similar to Pictionary, only this one's a 2-player online game.

How do you play?

Once you have the app, it's easy. You have the option of linking the app to your Facebook page and find friends who are already playing. Then you create a game with them.

Create a game, or choose from friends already addicted... er... playing.

You start by choosing one word from a list of 3.

Choose the word you think you can draw best. 

Then draw that word for your friend. Click DONE when done with your drawing. Then wait. Or go on with your day's work (if no one else is playing against you). Your phone should prompt or notify you once you have a new game pending. You click and see your friend guess the word you drew for him/ her.

Hard to guess, so I wrote "besties 4 life" to mean "BFF" 

Then go on to guess his/ her drawing for you. It's that simple.

Watch your friend draw...

...and guess the word!

Because the game is called Draw Something, don't be a killjoy by writing down the answers. My first few random games were not as fun. The other player (strangers that the game randomly picked from somewhere across the pacific) would write down the answer! Also, you DO have to draw something. They would have called it something else if you didn't have to actually draw. (LOL! Sioti KR, sorry, I used your "drawing" as an example, hihi, peace!).

LOL! Draw Something! I couldn't stop laughing when I got this.

Here are some of my Draw Something "Works of Art". LOL!

Simple apple drawing... (but yes, I had to draw the worm)

Wala lang, I wanted to draw something that actually looked like a parrot. Well, sort of.

Because it was easier to draw SPONGEbob over drawing just the sponge.

Nyar. Now that I think about it, I don't even know what's addicting about this game. It just is. Sooooooo addicting. Better than Temple Run, I say (but that's just me). See, almost everyone's playing.


So excuse me now, I have to go Draw Something. :)
