Travel Footprints

We just got back from a long road trip today and made a beeline to the laptop where Mr. Rono and I are set to declare the winners of our first-ever blog contest (yes, that’s how excited we were :p) No matter that it was a long day tour to and from Pangasinan! We went to Our Lady of Manaoag Shrine today to petition our uncle who is stricken with cancer. He’s flying from the US (where he underwent chemotherapy) to Fuda Cancer Hospital in Guangzhou, China this week for alternative treatment. We kindly request you to say a little prayer for him as you read this latest blog entry as well. It would mean a lot to us

Now, on to the good news! Thanks so much for all those who visited our blog the past few days and actively participated in our contest. We hope this will not be the last time we will be seeing you in our blog! We weren’t sure how to organize the raffle entries at first but thanks to random.org, we now have our top 8 winners –

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now proud owners of P1,500 gift certificates from Slimmer’s World Face and Skin Clinic! I will still be notifying each of you via email for details of claiming the GCs from us. I’m quite sure a lot of the winners are actually members of W@W (Weddings at Work) so thank God I have a little something to help you brides-to-be get prepped for your BIG DAY!

Happy pampering girls! And stay pretty!

The -ber months are fast approaching and Christmas carols will be echoing from malls soon enough! We have not been blogging actively lately since we’re pretty much having a different kind of adventure fixing our crib in the heart of the metropolis. It’s a whole new exciting way of exploration. Believe us, being a household handyman is not a walk in the park at all!

Anyway, we thought we should have a little something to kickstart this blog after months of hiatus. And we are actually attempting to pull off our very first blog contest! We are feeling mighty generous because Christmas season will be here before you know it and we want to be in Santa’s nice list

So, up for grabs are eight (because August is the 8th month of the year!) gift certificates worth P1,500 each that you can use in Slimmer’s World Face and Skin Clinic. It’s the perfect pre-holiday gift we can offer so you can have a pampering treat for your skin before all the hustle and bustle of shopping and Christmas travelling get to you.

To score one of these P1,500 Gift Certificate, just leave a comment on any of our earlier blog posts. All comments posted between today until midnight of August 30 will be qualified in the raffle draw. We will be notifying and posting the names of the eight winners by August 31!

Good luck you guys and have fun! Take note, more comments posted means more chances of winning!

In one of our earlier blog post, we mentioned Xanadu – the 80s-inspired, roller-skating, Tony-nominated Broadway musical that’s bound to be Manila’s next big theater phenomenon! Well, the musical is happening soon and theater seats are filling up fast! Rachel Alejandro and Felix Rivera stars as Clio (Greek muse) and Sonny (artist) in this broadway remake of the 80s film with the same title, Xanadu.

This surprise broadway musical hit features Olivia Newton-John songs, which includes: MAGIC, SUDDENLY (our personal fave!), SUSPENDED IN TIME, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MELOW and of course, XANADU! For ticket reservations, go to http://www.xanadumanila2010.blogspot.com or e-mail xanadumanila@gmail.com
