#SMSCMagicalParade : Christmas Magical Parade at SM Sucat

December 18, 2015 was no ordinary day for the mall goers and shoppers of SM City Sucat, everyone were in for a treat as the SM Christmas Magical Parade took place in the afternoon.

The first part of the parade started around 4:00 pm at the ground floor of building A right beside the Hypermarket. First, a band dressed up in red soldier outfit performed a special production number while playing medleys of Christmas songs. The band led the parade around the building and behind them are colorful and spectacular fairy tale-like characters, which made the parade even more fun.

 Huge cuddly Snowman

 Fairies and Fairy God Mothers

 Giant Gingerbread Man

 Large Gift Boxes, Snowflakes and Clowns

Princess and the Prince Charming

Of course Santa Claus too!

While watching the show, some people followed the parade around, some took photos and videos of it with so much joy as evident by the huge smiles on their face. The parade lasted for almost an hour but wait there's more!

The second part of the parade began around 6:00 in the evening, this time at the building B of SM City Sucat. As usual, they toured around the building and stopped at the activity center with "Adventure Time" as the theme. It was a joyful moment as the fairy tale-like characters showcased a music and dance number, people can't resist to stop with what they are doing and watch the show. There's also a photo opportunity, kids and young-at-heart fell in line to be able to take pictures with some of these spectacular characters.

Would I miss the opportunity? Of course not!

Just when I thought I've seen it all, I was really surprised when Finn the Human showed up! He's one of the main character of the TV cartoon show Adventure Time. The kid in me just can't resist not to take photos with him, and I did! Haha!

Thumbs Up!

There were no mascots for the other main characters like Jake the dog and Princess Bubble Gum, but there were displays also available for display and picture taking.

 

Hey there Jake!

Princess Bubblegum inside the Cage, I think she needs some rescuing!

The SM Christmas Magical Parade indeed gave everyone a magical feel about Christmas. It  also showcased how festive Filipino Christmas celebration is. I definitely enjoyed the parade and I'm sure that everyone else did too!

Watch out for more Christmas activities and events at your nearest SM Malls.

Joining Promos/Contests is CHEAP!

I've recently read somewhere (nope we're not gonna disclose who and where) that joining promos and contest is CHEAP! I would like to say that I and my wife admits on being a “Promonatic”. I believe that it's only a matter of one's perspective. I'm just wondering though, who in their right mind would say no in being able to get something for FREE? I mean come on, let's not be a hypocrite. It's not like we're simply joining promos and contest for the sake of winning right? We got cool prizes such as cash, all expense travel packages, gadgets, GCs and many more! We looked back on the blessings (that's what we call our prizes) and to our surprise, we have already accumulated a total amount of 700K worth of prizes for the past 2 years. Believe it or not, that’s not an exaggeration. There are others who have gotten more. I’m not saying this to brag but to share what others could possibly get too! It could be for yourself, for your family or for someone you wish to give a little surprise. 

Trip for two to Japan from Pepsi (convertible to 100k cash

Trip for two to Palawan from Charmee

P 50,000 cash from Manulife

$ 1,000 cash from Flyff All Stars (part promo and part blogging)

iPhone 5s 32gb from 1'M Blue Eco-Safe Driving Campaign

3 Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini from Chachos

15k SM GCs from SM Supermalls

8k National Book Store GCs from Enfagrow A+

Oh God Thanks for all the blessings.

We’re not an exception to the sharp tongues and eyes of those Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. We see comments like: give chance to others, it’s them again and don’t be greedy. There are those who know how to be a sport which we really appreciate. We also have our fair share of defeat in terms of the ones we joined. In fact we have more loses than winnings. The secret is to always do your best in each and every promo because that way you won’t have to make excuses such as “Give chance to others”. You have your chance the moment you decide to join a certain promo and that’s to do your best to win. We don’t join in everything we see especially for prizes that would benefit other people more. We do have other things to do aside from joining contest such as enjoying our prizes. Hahaha! We enjoy sharing these prizes with our family, friends and sometimes even to less fortunate people. It’s not a profession because there’s no security and assurance on promos but it’s definitely a chance you shouldn’t be missing out on. Now if joining promos and sharing these blessings to people is called CHEAP then we wouldn’t mind at all.

On a lighter note let me just tell you a short story of how me and my wife started in the promo world. We also used to ignore all these promos on different social media sites thinking that we’re unlucky and that all of it is either fake or scams. It was going to be our first daughter’s 1st birthday. She saw a Facebook page giving away customized cupcakes to one lucky winner. My wife thought that it would be a great addition for our baby’s birthday celebration. Thank God we won after we kept bugging our friend to vote for our entry. ~_^ She continued to join other promos with two cups of courage And a little pinch of pluck, A quarter pound of cleverness ,A dash of plain old luck, Then you mix them up all together and hope to God you win. (That’s a part of lyrics from the kids show Sophia by the way :D ) My wife is the reason why I also started getting hooked into promos. One day after work she was surprised to see me in the computer late at night. Busted!!! She saw me joining a promo. I opened up and said that it’s also a good way to get something FREE for our family. We’ve been partners in joining promos ever since and will definitely continue to join.

We’re not going to be hypocrites because our main reason for joining a promo is and will always be the prizes but in between as husband and wife and as a family we enjoy all the funny antics that we do. It’s like playing a game which you get a reward for winning. Last words, don’t laugh but as I remember, the first thing I won was a bar of soap! Yes you read it right. Exactly one bar of soap. I was thankful still and things just got bigger and better.

Biogesic will feature how Team Poreber's story started in a short film!

BIOGESIC Ingat na Damang-Dama Sineserye Year 3!

I'm still so hyped about the announcement of Biogesic last Oct 20, 2015. My husband convinced me to join their promo where the three winners will receive twenty thousand cash as well as having their story featured and made into a short film. I'm really excited about the cash prize since it's like getting an advance Christmas Gift from above. 

We started from being officemates to soulmates and with that being said here's some throwback pictures of when we we're still working on our first job as call center agent for a sales account of a telecommunication company from the U.S.

My first Teammates and Team Leader

Sneaky shot inside the floor.

Our favorite hangout place. (The Pantry) hahaha!

On the other hand my husband seems to be very excited about the short film that will feature how Team Poreber pretty much started.I can't blame him since the previous short films for year 1 and 2 came out really nice. 

The directors from last year were:

Director Jerome Pobocan
Director Ruel Bayani
Director Rory Quintos
Director Cathy Garcia Molina
Director Jerry Sineneng

We have already been contacted by a Biogesic representative and was given the M.O.A. Memorandum of Agreement for using our story. They're still finalizing who's going to be the Director for our short film but it would be an honor if any of the previous ones were to bring life to our story.

I'm really grateful for all the blessings we receive whether it's small or big. I'm a stay at home mom so every bit of gifts we received is always appreciated. I can’t wait as well to get a glimpsed of the short film. I hope we can get a copy of our own because I’ll definitely treasure it. One day when were old and forgetful maybe we can play it to reminisce our happy memories together. Ingat~

Lazada.com.ph Selling Fake Products?

When it comes to products and services we often look at how much we can save but is that enough reason to compromise the quality and our safety? Do you remember my previous post about my Bad Experience from LAZADA's Service? I knew that i wasn't the only who had problems with them and that there's other issues that needs to be resolved.

Here's a recent issue of an alleged news where the said online shop is selling FAKE Etude House products. Here's the official statement of Etude House Philippines who had taken action of filing criminal charges agains't LAZADA.

"We have not consented to any sale of such products by Lazada.com.ph and and is not in any way connected with the website and therefore cannot guarantee the authenticity and/or genuineness of the product sold by the said website.

Are you a Promonatic?

t's been a year now since I got hooked on joining online promos and contest. I've won a couple of freebies, GC, Cash, Gadgets and etc from doing so.

It's taken my addiction from playing online computer games into something I can get a chance to have a little bit of extra for my family. I have my lovely wife who introduced me to this promo world to thank and I can say i have no regrets spamming my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with all the promo and contest from different companies and fanpages. 

Here's a quick meme of the different types of people I've notice that also likes joining Online promos LOL
