Be My Valentine?

I will not lie to you. I am not exactly looking forward to Friday. Well, I was. But then, Sunday happened and all of sudden, I realized I wouldn't have a date for Valentine's Day after all. Not the real date-date at least. Not that the kids and I haven't been spending Valentine's Day with each other the past so and so years. We took family dates the first few years R wasn't around, then realized we were just stressing ourselves out with the crowd, the wait, the traffic, and all the hassle the day of hearts brings.

Last year, A and I took home Quiznos hoagies for dinner. Meanwhile, RL went out with KY and my mom. He later came home with a box of doughnuts and some chocolates for us. And that, dear folks, is how it is on Valentine's Day.

Last year's Valentine's treat from my little boy and his achi.

This year? Well this year, I was supposed to go out on a date (!!!). Alas, my date had to leave to clear out some work issues in the province. And so, we're back to having take-out tomorrow. Or maybe I'll cook, since the nanny will be away (even she has a date!). Not that I was expecting something grand this year, but you know, things have been better, and although we're not exactly where we want to be, God sure knows how to fill the void.

Today, in a conversation with my favorite aunt about Valentine's and how she is spending it with friends, relegating her dinner date to the less-traffic weekend, she says "It's just tradition. Valentine's is every day, if you know how to make it so. It's not the day, it's the date - the person or people you are with."

And so, I realized I celebrated Valentine's with my man Saturday night. I had that Valentine's date after all.

If there is one thing I am thankful for each time this day comes around, it is this: I've never been without love. In fact, every year, I am reminded that I am blessed to have who I have. Plus, I am expectant! I know that one day, when that day finally comes and I get to spend Valentine's Day out on a date, I can look back and say, hey, those take-out, date-less Valentine's Days weren't so bad after all.

And with that, here's another giveaway to celebrate Hearts Day with you! I am giving one of my readers an brand new, original 16" Mickey Mouse Valentine's plush! You know the drill. Happy Valentine's Day, friends. You are loved.

Won't you please be Mickey's Valentine?

So anyway, Becca Music sent me some tickets for this Friday's SAVED FESTIVAL - good seats, too! At first, I thought of giving out these tickets to five different individuals, but then, what fun would it be to watch all by your lonesome? So, after conferring with my brother (who incidentally has a pending giveaway on this blog for my birthday - yes, he heads Worship Generation), we decided to make this giveaway a little bit more awesome.

Presenting... DAY 13 of my very-much-delayed, sorry-to-keep-you-waiting, but-here-it-is-finally, and thank-you-for-your-patience BIRTHDAY BLOWOUT!

Planetshakers CD Winners Here!

How was your long weekend? Me? I did what I always wanted to do, laze around with the kids. Teehee. Honestly, I would have wanted to clean the attic, but my nanny decided she'd take the long weekend off to see her girls, so I guess I have to save that task for another rainy day.

The long weekend allowed me some reflection, too. But let me discuss that on another post. I wanna think happy thoughts today.

Anyway, I picked winners for the Day 11 c/o Rafflecopter! Here are our winners of 5 signed Planetshakers CDs!

MARC VIRATA

LONS KHIE

Day 12: Bet You Thought It Would Take Another Month!

Haha! I am running out of Blog Titles. Hehehe. Trying to be a little funny here. I am trying to fit in a blog post or two, in between typing up permits for our new releases here at work. So excuse the short posts. I just wanted this off my "to-do list".

DAY 12! I know some of you were probably wondering whatever happened to that Birthday Blowout. Well, it took in a little snooze and some shelf space. But yes, it's back. And I shall try to get everything out by the weekend (shoot me, there goes another promise, eeps!). I have a party, no nanny and guests. So yes, let's keep "all appendages crossed" (as Samantha Sotto would say... quoting here, in case some wise crack would accuse me of plagiarism, guffaw!). So where was I? Oh yes, cross those fingers!

Each gift pack contains a San Remo Food Container, a pack of San Remo Penne Pasta,
a pack of San Remo Elbows Pasta and a pack of San Remo La Pasta Alfredo Flavour Pasta and Sauce.

San Remo Pasta is made from 100% Australian Durum Wheat. It contains no artificial flavorings, colors, nor preservatives. Visit the San Remo International Website for great pasta recipes for Penne and Elbows.

Kaye says: You know what I love about San Remo? The pasta is almost always al dente, even if you accidentally over cook by a few minutes. You can never go wrong with San Remo.

Win a gift pack via Rafflecopter below. You must be able to pick up your prize from a House of Praise store (Panay Ave, Robinson's Galleria, SM North Edsa, SM Megamall, St. Francis Square, V-Mall or Festival Supermall).

DAY 11: Let's All Pretend It's Not The Mid of August.

DAY 11! Of what used to be... well, my birthday blowout. Eeps!

PS. I'd like to thank you all for your patience. And to all my loyal readers who leave me notes on Twitter, Facebook and via email, I appreciate you.

Day 10! Finally!

I think it's high time we resume the giveaway on this blog. Sorry, folks, I've been really busy at work. My little boy is sick today, but I'm here in the office trying to finish stuff for my brother who leaves for a US conference in the middle of my vacay next week. So yea, last minute stuff.

Anyway, on to the giveaway. I've been thinking which ones to put per day, since I had to fast forward the giveaway because of those Jayesslee tickets. But decided to just go with the original sequence. So today, we're doing Smucker's.

Choosy Moms choose JIF and these products from Smucker's!

If you aren't familiar with the Smucker's brand, you should know that Smucker's makes the best peanut butter in the world - JIF. But sadly, my friends at SYSU Marketing didn't give that for this giveaway. JIF Creamy Peanut Butter is LOVE. So we're going for second best - still best in it's category though! Each gift pack comes with a 12oz jar of Smucker's Goober Chocolate (yes, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Stripes! Nom!), a 12.75oz jar of Smucker's Sugar Free Strawberry Preserves (sweetend with Splenda!) and a JIF Oven Mitt. We have FIVE GIFT PACKS to giveaway, and may I remind you that you must be able to pick-up from a House of Praise store when you win. Or if you live outside Metro Manila, you must shoulder shipping charges (sorry, single mom with a limited budget plus brand hasn't sponsored shipping).

This promo is for Philippine residents only.

Birthday Blowout - DAY 8!

Remember my post on SoTrue? Well here's a secret: Mia used to be a school mate from middle school! I promised not to say when, but really, does age matter when you look as good as this mother of two?

Mia, with her husband Raymond, and their two adorable little ones
- the inspiration behind SoTrue.

Mia recently introduced two new products to her SoTrue line - the Room and Linen spray, and the Bye-Bye Buggy - both perfect for the rainy season! The Room and Linen Spray keeps your room smelling nice, and rids your linen of that damp smell (when your laundry fails to dry under the sun because of rain). Bye-Bye Buggy is what we all need to keep handy, to keep mosquitoes and other bugs away (Dengue season is here!).

Keep your rooms, pillows and blankets smelling fresh!
SoTrue Naturals Room and Linen Spray - 100% Natural!
in Lemongrass Lavender, Mandarin Cinnamon, Lavender, and Rose.

Say goodbye to bugs with this NO DEET, non-greasy, non-drying
and all natural insect repellant!  Smells yummy to humans, yucky to bugs.
SoTrue Naturals Bye-Bye Buggy!

I can't wait to see what other products SoTrue makes available in the coming months. I am so excited about this brand. After all, the heart of SoTrue is to provide the best for our families.

TODAY'S BLOWOUT IS BEING BROUGHT TO YOU BY SoTrue NATURALS!

SoLuxe is SoTrue's Premium Soap line. Retail value: P250/bar.

Mia sent over some of her soaps from SoTrue's SoLuxe line. So I'm giving you the chance to win it! I will be giving out the following bars:

Winner 1: SoLuxe Ylang-ylang Peppermint

- A sweet, floral scent made fresh and light with Peppermint.

Winner 3: SoLuxe Peppermint Cinnamon

- Cooling Mint paired with the gentle exfoliating properties of ground Cinnamon.

Birthday Blowout - DAY 7

The next giveaway needs no introduction as I often blog about this brand, but let me give you a brief history. Clara Ole makes the best Tomato Sauce. But did you know that Clara Ole started with jams and preserves in 1987? Their tomato and spaghetti sauce line launched in 2001. Many of you think it is imported but it is Proudly Filipino. Did you know that this brand was named after a grandmother? Yes, aptly named after Clara, wife of Ruben Sysu, founder of SYSU International, Inc.

I make the best spaghetti in town (ask my family, friends and officemates, and they can attest to this fact). LOL! But it's true and Clara Ole is my secret ingredient. Have you tried making spaghetti using Clara Ole? Try it and taste the difference. I use a mix of Tomato Sauce and the Three Cheese Spaghetti Sauce. Nothing compares to the Three Cheese, I tell you. Even the imported brands pale in comparison.

Find out more about Clara Ole's history here.

TODAY'S GIVEAWAY IS BEING BROUGHT TO YOU BY CLARA OLE!

Each Clara Ole gift pack contains (1) Tomato Sauce, 250g; (1) Chunky Tomato with Three-Cheese Pasta Sauce, 225g;
(1) Barbecue Marinade Hickory, 225g; (1) Ora Mix Mo Java Rice, 120g, and (1) Dips n' Dressings Thousand Island, 120g.

CLARA OLE TOMATO SAUCE
The delicious and flavorful blend of Clara Ole Tomato Sauce has NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS nor preservatives. It contains Lycopene, Potassium and Iodine.

Kaye says: I think the best thing about this product is that it contains NO ADDED MSG.

CLARA OLE PASTA SAUCE - CHUNKY TOMATO WITH THREE-CHEESE
Bring this well-loved, classic combination to your dining table with Clara Ole's ready-to-use pasta sauce. Enjoy sweet, juicy tomatoes with the full bodied goodness of select Italian cheeses. Simply as it is, try with beef, chicken, tuna or shrimp. For a more aromatic gourmet delight, combine with lots of basil!

CLARA OLE BARBECUE MARINADE - HICKORY
Clara Ole's marinades make grilling fun, easy and delicious! Take meat, marinade for about 30 minutes or more (I prefer to marinade overnight), then cook. You will never go wrong with Clara Ole's Barbecue Marinades.

CLARA OLE ORA MIX MO - JAVA RICE
I think I've blogged too much about this particular product. Hehe. This fried rice mix has NO ADDED MSG. All you have to do is heat oil in pan, put in your rice, add some Ora Mix Mo, mix and serve. Java Rice is my new favorite but you may try the other variants as they are good, too!

See my blog about Clara Ole Ora Mix Mo Java Rice here.

CLARA OLE DIPS N' DRESSINGS - THOUSAND ISLAND
Clara Ole Thousand Island Dips n’ Dressings is blended with just the right sweet and sour blend of pickles, herbs and spices. It is perfect for salads, appetizers, burgers, cocktails and chips. I'm not much of a Thousand Island girl, but this, I love.

I have five (5) Clara Ole gift packs to give away. You know the drill. :)

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Winners will be picked over the weekend. If you're from outside Metro Manila, I think I can ship this to you, but you may have to shoulder shipping. (Sorry, single mom, limited budget). Otherwise, pick-up is from any House of Praise store.

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!

Birthday Blowout - DAY 6!

Don't fret. Don't fret. Because I realized I was supposed to post more blowout days over the weekend, and didn't. :( Now I'm way behind schedule and have to move the days around, because... well because. :) Anyway, here is Day 6!

DAY 6 IS A MIX OF PRODUCTS I LOVE!

But first, let me show you my mini miniature collection. Ok, I didn't know what to call it. But it's mini because that's all I have. Hehe.

That's a battery (AA) for size reference. From L-R: TicTac Mint, Tabasco Pepper Sauce, Kikkoman,
Heinz Tomato Ketchup, La Española Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 

Ok, back to the giveaway. When I worked for food brand, I handled a number of products. One of which was Treetop Apple Juice.

TREETOP APPLE JUICE
Treetop Apple Juice is 100% sweetened by the sun - NO SUGAR ADDED. That is why some people liken the taste to wine as there are no added sweeteners. It is recommended for babies and toddlers, no need to look for Gerber (which, incidentally, I also used to handle).  Try this chilled, you may add ice if you think the taste is too strong for you. But if you're an apple juice lover (real apple juice and not the artificially-flavored ones) then you'll love TreeTop!

I don't think a 2L bottle of TreeTop alone will do for this giveaway, so I'm adding two more products I love!

TABASCO PEPPER SAUCE
Tabasco this; Tabasco that. I use Tabasco on almost everything! There was a time I was so addicted to it, I had one on my desk in the office, in my bedroom, in the office ref, in the car... no kidding. I use Tabasco on burgers mostly. Yes, McDonald's Cheeseburger + Tabasco. PERFECT combo. Can't have the burger without it. I also use it on steaks, adobo, and yep, just about anything. No other pepper sauce can compare. Tabasco comes in the regular Red Pepper Sauce, Garlic Pepper Sauce, Green Pepper Sauce, Habanero Pepper Sauce and Chipotle Pepper Sauce!

LA ESPAÑOLA EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
A staple for pasta and salad lovers! You cannot go wrong with La Española! What with over 160 years of olive oil history! Only the best, I tell you. And I am giving away the miniature bottles - perfect size to use when adding to salads and pastas.

3 Different Brands make up Birthday Blowout DAY 6!

As usual, we're using Rafflecopter for this giveaway! I noticed that most of you didn't follow my Rafflecopter options to the "T". I had to disqualify a number of entries the past 3 draws. When it says "Leave a blog post comment", please leave a comment on this post. Doing nothing disqualifies that entry (and yes, I check). Same goes for the other options. Anyway, making this one simple.

As usual, should you win, you must be able to pick up from a House of Praise store.

BIRTHDAY BLOWOUT DAY 1 HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY GETBLUED AND THE 12TH MAN!

And The Winners Are...

So, my officemate D (for Dugong! LOL!) was supposed to pick winners Monday morning. Turns out he was on leave for the long weekend (oops), and I didn't want anyone else to do the honors. So we moved the draw to today.

Entries!

There were dozens of entries but noticed that a lot of you didn't bother with the bonus (why?). So anyway, I checked each and every tweet, double-checked your accounts to see if I failed to see a retweet, checked for comments, etc. And finally had everything set up for D to draw the winners.

Dugong picking winners the old way. Names in a cup!

We decided not to roll the names up anymore as it was getting late and we had A LOT of entries. So after cutting them up we mixed it, and placed the names in a cup. D decided the mixing wasn't enough so he mixes the lot over and over again (seriously!). And again, after each name was drawn.

And so, the winners are... (drumroll please!)

CONSOLATION PRIZE: FIVE (5) NO COMPROMISE SHIRTS from WORSHIP GENERATION

You each win one (1) No Compromise Shirt! Congratulations! 

SWAG ATTACK PRIZE: FIVE (5) HEAL OUR LAND CDS by the PLANETSHAKERS

You each win one (1) Heal Our Land CD! Congratulations!

So yay! Congratulations! Please wait for my DM on Twitter (you need to follow me in order for me to send you a Direct Message, so please do follow).

Thank you for joining Swag Attack III!

This contest was brought to you by our generous friends at House of Praise.
