When I was in college, I used to join many contests (except beauty contests! haha) and I was more often fortunate! I'd win t-shirts, CD's, concert tickets, money and a lot of goodies. One time there was this contest on TV, and they were giving away prizes ranging from big cash to appliances and since the rule was very simple, I tried to join.
So the rule was, they will be showing off their logo in several programs, and all the contestants have to do is to write the name of the show and the date when the logo appeared. One of the shows included was a soap opera which I watch while keeping my bedridden grandmother company late at night. Along with the entry, a bottle cap or a wrapper of the sponsors' products should be sent too.
The most practical product for me to send in was wrapper of sanitary napkin coz us girls, use this every month for a week long (the most). So I bought plenty! I went to the supermarket and filled up the shopping cart with sanitary napkins! Hahaha I didn't care what the people have to say. Okay, that was the craziest I ever did just to win.
It did pay off. I won but not the big prizes. I got 50 (or was it more?) movie passes which I wasn't so thrilled about. I ended up giving most to my cousin who helped me wrote down my numerous entries and sealed the envelopes. At least I already had a year's supply of napkins. ;)
Anyway, since Christmas is nearing I think I'd try my fortune once again by joining the contests happening in the blog land. There are many. If ever I'd win, the money would go to a good cause - myself! Hahaha. Do let me know if you know of any contests. And if you see many contest posts here, please don't complain! :)

how to achieve PEACE
Are you seeking for peace?
World peace man, world peace! Everyone is aspiring for it, fighting for it and some are even dying for PEACE.
Well yesterday's reading from Phil 4:6-9 was a gem of a revelation for those seeking peace (God's way). Here's how:
Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,
if there is any excellence
and if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.
Keep on doing what you have learned and received
and heard and seen in me.
Then the God of peace will be with you.

simply ugh!
I have just sent the 1000 EC credits to my top dropper and I am not so happy with one thing. Here's the confirmation message I got:
1000ec + 125ec transfer fee has been debited from your account and sent to Entertain Me
Boy oh boy! This is the reason why I'm not giving out rewards next time. The tax transfer is too much!!!
To my other top droppers, please wait till I have enough EC (plus transfer fee charge!) to send out. Duh! Well anyway we're allowed to send 1000 EC credits per week so that means I have reached my quota for this week.

my top 5 droppers for september
In case you don't know, I'm giving out 1,400 worth of EC credits to my top droppers every month. 1,000 EC credits goes out to the top 1, and 100 EC credits each for the next 4 top droppers.
But because of the major changes on Entrecard's transfers, credit transfer limits, etc. I sadly announce that this will be the last.
Thanks everyone! I hope you'd still continue to drop here everyday even without any rewards. :)
Top 5 droppers for September:
Top 1 dropper - Entertain Me - 1,000 EC credits
Top 2 dropper - Happy Caity - 100 EC credits
Top 3 dropper - Rainydazeee - 100 EC credits
Top 4 dropper - Symphony of Love - 100 EC credits
Top 5 dropper - Searching for Me - 100 EC credits
I'll transfer the EC credits as soon as Entrecard is done fixing the bug.
I kept getting this message when I sent out EC credits earlier:
Serious error
We have a bug in our software, an automatic report has been sent to our developers and more whips are being applied as we speak. We apologise for the inconvenience.

unexpected blessings
HAPPY! :) Well, who wouldn't be happy when blessings came pouring down on me all in one day?
First I received an offer from a new company asking me to write reviews for them. Second, I made $80 from my blogs. Weeeeeeeellllll, it might not be much for you, but for me, it is. :) I'm grateful for the blessings.

the peeler
I always forget to buy this one thing – the peeler. When I am peeling vegetables, that’s the time I remember that I need one. I’ve always told my husband to remind me when we’re shopping that we should buy a peeler. But he forgets too. And it happened again yesterday!
We did our weekend grocery shopping. We usually shop at the big store but it’s out of the way, so we opted for the small one beside our flat. That’s where we park our car anyway. The store was quiet, and the usual buzz of shoppers was missing. It was unusual for a Sunday.
When we were already outside the store, returning the shopping cart, hubby picked up something and asked “We need a peeler, right?” Oh no! We forgot to buy again I thought silently. But hubby was quick to show me what he picked. “Then here it is!” and handed me a shiny silver peeler with a big grin. We looked around, but there was nobody to return it to. The parking lot had few parked cars but no one was around, except for an old man in the other lane pulling out a shopping cart.
We looked at the peeler. There was no doubt it was still new and unused. But the question is: where did it come from? If it fell from someone’s cart, it would still have the store mark and price tag (which it didn’t have) and it’s unlikely that someone would bring a peeler to shop. Mysterious, isn’t it?
I believe finding it was not a coincidence at all. I’d like to acknowledge that it’s a gift from above. Who else would know that it is the very thing we need? And it was the perfect one coz hubby is left-handed and I am the opposite. Guess what? The peeler has a dual sharp edge which can be used for both left-handed and right-handed user. SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
