Enjoy Philippines Kit

February 22, 2011 by

Last year, I discovered the world of magazine and online promos and contests.  It’s quite addicting really. Once you receive your very first prize, you can’t help but join again.  I choose the contests I join though.  I only join those that would not take too much of my time and effort.  I love those contests that merely ask for pictures that follow a certain theme, those that involve “liking” a certain page and those that require only an SMS or email.

One of the many blessings I received last year was an Enjoy Philippines Kit which I won from Good Housekeeping’s Goodluck Page in their September 2010 issue.  Among the prizes I won last year, this proved to be the best.

If you were to purchase the Enjoy Philippines Kit, it would cost you Php 1,995.  This fee already includes

  1. Enjoy membership valid until September 30, 2011
  2. Personallized Enjoy VIP card with 10-50% off everyday in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, and Shanghai
  3. Enjoy Member Guidebooks with vouchers valued over Php 250,000
  4. Eco-friendly tote bag
  5. Free nationwide delivery for prepaid orders

Since I claimed my kit last December, we have already saved around Php 5,000 just from these four establishments:

  • Makansutra Asian Food Village – (voucher) free Cheng Tng
  • City Garden Suites – (voucher) 40% off tariff rates of bedroom suites
  • Basix – (voucher) 50% off on lunch or dinner buffet
  • Chelsea Market Cafe – (card) free signature dessert

We definitely wouldn’t be able to use all the vouchers and we’d probably won’t use half of them either.  That’s why I never considered buying the kit even when I first heard of it prior to winning it from the GH promo.  But now that we’ve used it and experienced first-hand how much we could save by using the vouchers and the card, I most definitely would renew my membership come September.

Simple Joys in Life

February 14, 2011 by

Last night, I chanced upon an online contest a couple of my friends have joined on facebook.  It was only an hour before the deadline but thankfully we had a picture that fit the mechanics perfectly:

Our family is blessed to have countless bonding moments everyday as I am a stay at home mom and my husband, although he goes to the office everyday, makes sure that he spends time with us before going to work and helps take care of the toddlers when he gets home.  We seldom go outdoors though as Jade is quite sickly and in several instances fell sick after trips to the grocery or to the mall.

Last December though, we were able to schedule one activity-packed weekend away from home.  It included a morning stroll at the Rizal Park which was, among the activities lined up for the weekend, the cheapest but the most memorable of all. Jade and Jakei had so much fun walking on the green grass,  strolling along tree-lined paths, watching birds hop and fly, and seeing so many things they don’t get to see at home.  Oh, the joy on the toddlers’ faces were indeed priceless!

About two hours of strolling through the historical landmark costs us only 10 pesos each – for the entrance to the Children’s park, and a couple of hundred bucks for gasoline, parking and drinking water.  This just shows that the best things in life do not require great costs.

Here’s our picture taken that morning that won us two new pairs of shoes from Res/Toe/Run:

Res/Toe/Run could not have said it better:

“Getting to enjoy the simplest things in life with the whole family is just like winning the grand lottery… only for this, the prize is more “priceless” as our family is the only thing in our lives that can never be replaced by anything!! Happy hearts day! :D”

Thank you Res/Toe/Run for launching a contest that reminds us how important FAMILY is and how blessed we are to be able to enjoy priceless moments together!
