Healthy Contests for YOU

Thursday, June 23, 2011 / Vince Golangco

Hey guys, healthy living need not be booooorrrrriiiing.

Two contests for the young — ahem, that’s me —- and the not-so-very-young are ongoing on Facebook. Really, there are so many contests there, but these two got my attention.

For one, I’m into healthy lifestyle. Or I try my damned best to be.

Two, these contests are encouraging us to channel our creative juices to be funny, quirky, amusing, nutty but with good intentions. Whoa!!!

Anyway, if you’re all of the above…. Me, I’m batty all the time but lovable nevertheless — visit the Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass CAN fan page. Like that page before you send your entry.

The mechanics of the two contests are also found there.

1. “Shake the Grass” video contest –

3 winners will be announced on August 19.

How do you win? 3 categories such as Best Video, Most Liked and Most viewed.

Cool cool prizes for each category:
a. Samsung Galaxy Tab for the Most Liked video
b. Most number of views – P3,000 cash and this elegant Wheatgrass ready-to-drink shirt
c. An Apple iPod Touch 4th Gen 8gb — for the best video which will be determined on originality (50%), creativity (40%) and quality of the video (10%).

2. “I can change for the good” foto contest

Prize at stake is dinner with Alodia and Ashley, plus a special Easy Pha-max gift pack.

Top 3 winners will be based on the most number of likes of their fotos, the best foto, and the best “I change for the good” pledge.
Winners will be announced on August 19.

So guys, I’m sure before the 57 days countdown, you would have had the time to create a video, take a good foto of yourself and thought of a good promise you know you can keep.

FYI. Links for the mechanics –

WINNER of the Ultimate Luxury Movie Massage Contest

Thursday, April 21, 2011 / Vince Golangco

CONGRATULATIONS to the winner of our ULTIMATE LUXURY MOVIE MASSAGE winner!

There were lots of entries and we had to pick one from the pictures with the most likes and the judges just really felt that the caption and the picture for this one was the most heart-felt.

So congratulations to Susan Tan and her family for winning this contest!

The joy and laughter that resonates across the room is indeed hard to forget. However, it has been quite a while that such gathering by family members has come to pass. Geographical locations, work commitments and other personal endeavors have driven to a wedge towards the materialization of this rare occasion.

Upon learning of this contest, nothing came to my mind but the long overdue family reunion culminating with an all inclusive SPA. The presence of each family will surely be realized because along with this SPA we wish to also celebrate the 80th birthday of our beloved mother. Indeed another unforgettable event will surely be experienced by all.

“I want to win the BlueWater Day Spa and

Valentines Treat Package Winners from The Wake Up Show

Monday, February 14, 2011 / Vince Golangco

Valentines Treat Package Winners from The Wake Up Show

Hey guys! Thanks for joining the Valentine’s Treat contest we had! There were way too many entries so we instead picked some consolation prize winners.

For the top winner, again, “likes” were worth 50% and then the picture itself and the comment was worth another 50%.

Anyway, the grand prize winner gets dinner for two at Outback Steakhouse. A bouquet of flowers from Paraiso Flowers and a SPAradise Couple’s massage treatment from BlueWater Day Spa.

And the GRAND PRIZE WINNER is…..

Mia Guerzon Rivera!

Here’s her entry:

Mia Guerzon Rivera!

Here’s her entry:

Good day everyone! This is me and my Mom. This photo was taken 3 years ago. I’ll tell you a story behind this photo. It was a Saturday morning, and I was planning to surprise her about something. This picture was taken an hour after we woke up. Then I gave her a little something. I made up some tickets, like passes for a concert, from truly yours, also starring truly yours (hehe), for a lunch, a free massage, a free movie ticket, and a dinner. And I really, really, really, had a hard time saving money for that, ’cause I’m just a student. LOL. :)) And I really want to give her something that would surprise her, ’cause her Birthday’s coming, and I still don’t have enough money to have a surprise for her happen. And then this treat came up. So, I’m hoping against hope that I get to win this. Her birthday’s 0n the 17th. It’s been years since we’ve bonded like crazy; she’s got lots and lots of work to do, so a day off would be perfect. :))
When I was younger, I often ask my Mom how come she’s alone every Valentine’s day if the season was for couples. I always wonder, that’s why one day, she gave me the answer that I’ve been dying to hear.
“Dear, Valentine’s day isn’t just about couples, or those who are in a relationship.. It’s about giving love..” She said..
Pretty simple, isn’t it? But meaningful, really.
My mom is my best friend. She’s different from the other mothers I’ve known. She’s cool, and I can talk to her about everything.. She’s my protector. I remember one time when I have been into trouble.. She asked me if I wanted her to fight for me.. And because of that, I’ve loved her even more..
This Valentine’s day, I want to thank her for all the sacrifices she’d done for me and my brother.. She’d taken full responsibility for raising us alone.. She’d worked non-stop for us to live our daily lives.. Yet, she still remained to be a model mom..
Mom, Happy Birthday.. Happy Valentine’s too.. I’ll always remember what you’ve taught me. Thank you for having me and my brother.. Thank you for giving us this life.. I’m so lucky to have you as my mom.. You’re my number one.. Joining this contest is just a little thing to do, compared to all the thing s that you’ve done just to raise us up.. And don’t ever think that you’re alone.. You are never.. We, your children, are always here for you, no matter what..
I PROMISE TO LOVE YOU EVERY MOMENT OF FOREVER, My dearest Mom.. 🙂

CONGRATULATIONS to Mia!

Since there were so many good entries, we decided to give away some consolation prizes! A SPAradise Couple’s Massage package goes to each of the following winners below.

For the consolation prizes, the picture was worth 50% and the comment another 50%.

Mish Cruz

This is me with my Kulet, we call each other kulet and we’ve been together for 6 yrs. and 11 months. I think we deserve this V-day treat ‘coz we’re so stressed nowadays and having misunderstandings because we don’t have enough time for each other since we’re both graduating this coming march. This V-day treat would mean a lot to us, rekindle the old flare we had before. (p.s we’re both avid fans of mellow! we always listen to The Wake Up Show every morning on the way to school!) =)

Au Reyes-Manalo

Hey! Hey! My Valentines entry is for me and my husband. We hope to enjoy your awesome Valentine Treat. Technically, we’ve been together for almost 8 years now. “Technically”. because we’ve been bf/gf since 2003 and he broke it off when we were 3.5 years (let’s just say, he wanted to see if his charm still works with other “fish” in the ocean…;-) ). After his journey, he still realized that his only “bliss” was with me, so he woed his way back and we decided to give it another spin…so true, love is sweeter the 2nd time around and everything went smoothly and as if nothing happened. We decided to tie the knot year 2009 and were given the most wonderful gift, who will turn 7 months the day before this Valentine’s Day…our own little angel. Having a precious addition to our family is priceless, all the sleepless nights and playtime with our baby was all worth it when you see your baby smile back and giggles with you. It would be equally splendid if we would be able to spend this coming valentine’s day together and appreciate each other’s company and rekindle the ‘old times’ like bf/gf with Mellow947 Valentine Treat. Having a day of rest from our very busy role – parenthood. Thank you and more power to your show!

Hi Vince and Tracy! Okay, so this is the first time i’ll ever join any competition like this, and im so excited!! HAHA! Plus i always listen to you guys so its more exciting ♥
Anyway, I introduce to you my parents, and i am hoping to win the Valentines Day treat for them! For me, they truly deserve this because of all the things they do for us siblings. This is just one way to show how thankful we are for taking good care of us, for always being there and being the best parents ever. They need to relax and spend some time with each other!! They’ve been so busy with work and helping my siblings in school and i think this treat is just PERFECT for them 🙂
I know they’ll appreciate this and I just want to make them happy 🙂 thanks for giving us this opportunity! God bless you guys 🙂

Harold Francis

aside from valentines day… my gf and i also celebrating the most special date of us being lovers – our anniversary:) of course… it doesn’t matter to us where or how much would be the cost of our date, what matter is that she’s with me and the love we built 7 years ago…keeping stronger and better – completes me indeed!
I’m happy because I have her. I know flowers and chocolates and even just a word couldn’t explain how thankful I am. Each day, my heart races giving me the reason to live. Our time together is so special because it’s filled with love. And If there’s one thing that I’ve done best in my life, it would be the day I started loving her. She’s a lover and friend to me. It feels like a comfortable refuge on her shoulders. She allows me to be myself. I love hier today and I will love her until my last breath.
enough reasons to surprise her with a valentines treat c/o of The Wake Up Show! she’s a big fan to say! crossed fingers!

Blanche Inocencio – Belle De Jour Planner Winner

I am a 4th Year Nursing Student and at the same time, the president of our organization: Medical Missions and Outreach Program (MMOP).

This picture reflects the things that I want to accomplish on the year 2011.

After I graduate, I dream of helping other people more especially those who have greater health needs because that’s what my profession asks me to do.

Helping other people is my tradition and I don’t want to waste my time doing other things after I graduate so I am aiming for a year full of love and kindness to others specifically conducting more and more medical missions. 🙂

Jelo Manongsong – Navi Planner Winner

Maintain my good health. Nagsimula na ako mag-gym kahit nagtreadmill lang ako. Mas gusto ko pumayat kaysa magkamuscles haha. Kahit minsan medyo nakakatamad gumising ng maaga, nagtitiyaga ako at malapit lang naman yung gym sa aming bahay, Walking distance lang! 🙂 Maganda rin naman sa pakiramdam kasi nakakapawis, nakakaburn ng calories at talagang makakaiwas pa sa sakit diba? hehe. Sana mamaintain ko ito next year. 🙂

Katrina Sta Ana – Belle De Jour Planner

It’s 2011, another year for all of us. Another set of goals, plans and moments of life. I want to start a year right with the positive outlook in life and I believe that God has really something for me but I just have to explore to find it out. One of the most important one is… I want to strengthen more of my relationship with God, of course maybe all of us will. I’m a real-believer of God and whatever life takes me, I always leave it to Him for I know “Everything has reason and purpose”.

Another one is I want to have stable job in my Nursing profession, I’ll be striving to get a better one this year. So If I successfully secured a stable job, I can help my family–support and provide their needs since my dad will be retiring soon because he’s old enough na and I really want to pay back all those supports I got back then. Maybe putting up a simple business for them would be good, probably a eatery/catering services since my mom really loves to cook. I also want to pursue my studies. So if I was able to get a stable job I can pay for my studies because I want to enroll myself on a graduate school someday.

Since I am a Nurse and being in a caring profession, I still want to continue my voluntary act in engaging myself in a Medical Mission. It’s a call to my profession. Helping people is the better thing I can do to my fellowmen as I provide them best quality care I can give. Seeing their smile is the best reward I can get because making others happy is also making God happy, too.

After all of that, Happiness for myself is also part of my growing up. I still want to enjoy life. Life is short so I make sure to live each day as if it’s my last day. Hey! I guess I’m getting older na so I might also wanting to find the right one that God has reserved for me. Hopefully by this year.^^ But I still I believe that it will come in an unexpected time, at unexpected place and with unexpected person. Obviously, I believe in destiny. 🙂

Above all, here’s my short-term goal for now, I’d like to have a copy of Belle de Jour Planner so I can have something to write down my plans, goals, objectives in life for this 2011. It could be useful for someone like me who prefers to write everything (e.g. plans, thoughts or whatever that comes to my mind). =)

Sonny Loreto – Navi Planner

“Change for the better”. The past year 2010 is a good year to us, and now I’m planning another set of goals for this another great year. My first priority is to have a more quality time to my wife and kid, because most of my time consumed in my job even in holidays. This year I want to have a great bonding with my family. Before year 2010 ends, I enrolled to gym to lower my blood cholesterol and I’ll continue it this year 2011 to have a healthy and physically fit body. In March 2011, I’ll be going in Toronto Canada for another job and I wanted to bring my family and have a bonding moments in Hongkong Disneyland. I’m planning to buy our own house and lot and car. I want to be a financial stable so I wanted to have a savings for the future of my family. By December, I’ll be applying for an educational plan for my kid and I’ll enroll her in some workshops to support her passion or interest like modeling, dancing and singing.
I really love to have this planner. I have a lots of itineraries, activities, goals, plans and dreams to jot down.

Lis Pav – Belle De Jour Planner Winner

I want to get pregnant this year and have our first baby. Having a baby is a very exciting part of everyone’s life. There are a lot of things to do and prepare for myself and my hubby. I had twice miscarriage, so I need extra care if I will get pregnant again. To get pregnant, there are a lot of things to consider like having the right diet, exercise, avoid caffeine, drink lots of water, take supplements for folic acid, get more vitamins and minerals, and getting enough calcium in diet.

Having Belle de Jour Planner will help to me in my pregnancy planning. So I can write down all the thing to consider to get pregnant, to monitor my cycle, the best time to get pregnant and appointment to an OB Gyne.

Eden Pagtabunan – Belle De Jour Planner winner

By 2011, I got loads of goals and plans waiting to be accomplished. First and foremost I wanted to put my trust in God 100% and to expand my faith in Him, He is my Creator, my Father and Guidance all in one. So i wanted to start the year for Him. I am as well planning to extend the adventure of my life by going to singapore first with my family and hopefully with enough courage I’ll be settling there and find a job in my field. I guess in order to be living alone there I needed a heck of a lot of courage. But then once I established myself there, I together with my partnership with my cousin would start a small retailing business here in our country.

Still I haven’t forgotten about my other passion in life, I would be happy if I find the person that holds the other half of the heart this year. And together with that taking care of myself isn’t a bad idea at all, so I plan to start my year in healthy lifestyle.

And learning photography and capture all those moments while I am watching 2011 pass me by would be the cherry on top.

It will also help her break out of her shell especially now that she just turned 18 and needed something new.

My dear deserves a make-over simply because she loves to look beautiful. For her, being pretty in the eyes of others relieves her stress. Since she is one of those busy college students, she sometimes forget to give time for herself. She also tends to criticize herself for being “ugly.” I think that this make-over can increase her self-esteem. Please, DO MY FRIEND ♥

Maria Cecilia Bolalin-Loreto

When In Manila and The G-Spot with DJ Vince G, Being a full pledge mom and wife is a privilege but it’s hard to be a mother. It is a privilege granted by God and has so many deep and profound meanings that should be there in every mother on earth . It’s hard to be a mother with all it’s meanings , it is a full time job. Bottom line , i can be a mother by having my daughter call me mom , but to be a loving , devoted mother you have to earn it 100 % . In regard with this, some Moms like me forgot to think ourselves. I

wanted to have a even one day to pamper, treat myself, to relax, to revive living energy, to be refresh and

energize and have a break from daily life.

I’m sure Maria Bolalin Maria Cristina Bolalin Elizabeth Bolalin-Rivas will surely like and enjoy this treatment too. http://bit.ly/bOB1BV

E-Dance & Philippine Allstars “fUsEd” Performance: Modern Dance & Hip Hop

Sunday, November 7, 2010 / Vince Golangco

You are invited to watch

E-Dance Theatre Performing Arts Lab Inc.

fUSEd

Collaboration by Gerald Mercado, Lora Benedicto and Jakob Rodriguez with Kyxz Mendiola, Vince Mendoza and Matt Padilla of Philippine ALLSTARS

Friday, 12 Novemeber 2010
Tanghalang Pasigueno, Pasig City

Matinee show at 3pm
Gala show at 7pm

For ticket reservations and inquiries, please contact:
Camille Castro- +639275574737
edance.theater@gmail.com

Two cultures. One platform.

In a world of chaos, there is a simple language that binds us all: movement. That is why E-Dance Theatre decided to take hiphop off the streets and merge it with modern/ contemporary dance to tell a story.

fUSEd is a gamble on the single similarity between two different dance forms that are not normally associated with each other: the need to differentiate, the search for a unique expression. Hiphop is a product of communities looking for an identity in the streets where they felt free to express themselves, modern dance is a break-away from the rigidities of classical ballet. Despite the varying techniques, E-dance bravely took the challenge to weave these two dance forms together in an effort to create a new dimension in performing arts.

fUSEd charms the audience through the creative portrayal of daily life. The nameless characters tell the story of you and me, the person right next to you on the train, the one you passed on the street on your way to work, the one you might bump into on your lunch break, fellow travelers going in, out, and along this chaotic world.

Born in 2002, E-Dance Theatre is a group of young independent artists seeking alternative spaces to enhance their technique and experiment with different forms of performing arts.

Giving away 10 tickets to the movie premier of You Again!

You Again Movie Premier Tickets for you and your friends!

Successful PR pro Marni (Kristen Bell) heads home for her older brother’s (Jimmy Wolk) wedding and discovers that he’s marrying her high school arch nemesis (Odette Yustman), who’s conveniently forgotten their problematic past. Then the bride’s jet-setting aunt (Sigourney Weaver) bursts in and Marni’s not-so-jet-setting mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) comes face to face with her own high school rival. The claws come out and old wounds are opened in this crazy comedy that proves that not all rivalries are forever.
