Sharing Life's All Natural Pulpy Goodness with Minute Made Pulpy Orange

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe... I'd give it a try to find out for myself, and my doubts faded with its all natural goodness.

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added. So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED! That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse...carcinogens! Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I... eventually bought another one to bring it at home and tell everyone about it.

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right? Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means... that it has all the necessary health benefits of a real orange without the unnecessary chemical preservatives most orange beverages have.

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added - meaning it's THAT natural, it's almost like it's plucked straight from the tree, it's just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it's got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives' bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is 'cause it's got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I'm gonna post this in my blog, even let my five year old goddaughter together with my readers know about the wonders of Minute Maid Pulpy Orange. I am staking my name and my blog for it. That's how I'll do my part and of course, would want a regular dose of all the natural pulpy goodness of Minute Made Pulpy Orange.

Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C'mon you just might be picked as the lucky 'commentor'!)

Love,

Chris A.

Winila is Legitimate! Claiming XBOX 360 at the Winila Philippine Office

Just a few days ago, I stumbled upon a new promising auction website from a fellow Filipino blogger in Plurk, the site is Winila (http://www.winila.com). Skeptic as usual, I started asking questions about the legitimacy of Winila even though there is already a fellow Filipino blogger won a PSP Go on Winila, Leira. She was out of the town for the week that is why she haven't claimed the item she won. Imagine PSP Go for the price of $0.56! I was partially convinced about the idea of spending small and yet winning big, so I eventually visited the Winila booth on e-Games' Domination IV at SMX Convention Center SM Mall of Asia last April 10, 2010. I think that is the only reason why I went to the e-Games Domination IV which was a frustrating experience game event experience for me, but as they say no pain no gain.



Chris A. with his XBOX 360 at the Winila Office in Makati City. To have a clearer knowledge of How Winila works, you can check it out here

The Story

When I entered the SMX Convention Center in the domination IV I immediately went to the Winila Booth to buy bid credits. Winila Bid credits through Bid Vouchers is a whole lot cheaper than buying the bid credits online. This is why I gambled a good sum of money to have an initial 120 Winila bid credits back at the Domination. Actually I was targeting Winila's auction item the PSP Go for its mobile gaming purposes but eventually the last PSP Go was auctioned out after I bought my bid credits.

Later that night, I tried my very first Winila bidding, I was aspiring to win the 8GB iPod Touch which eventually was won over by a fellow blogger, Carlo. So there are now two bloggers that I personally know who have already won Winila items. The next day, I told my friends regarding the winila auction thing and as always they were all too suspicious about the whole thing. I think this is why I am a skeptic myself, it is because of my two friends, Dan and Al. They found it promising yet still consider it as a hoax, and they will only believe me if I win and claim my prize. So the challenge was on! Proving that Winila is the real thing!, A couple of walks from my friend's house, I rented out a pc to bid for the Acer Aspire One. It was intense and ate over one hour of my time, after an hour I decided to call it quits and eat dinner with my three friends and my goddaughter. We continued monitoring the Acer Aspire One bidding which was closed 15 minutes after I left the internet shop.

I regretted on going out too early. I think I would still get that item with 118 bid points. So I finally come to a game plan to win on Winila, which I will not share Bwahahaha! A few hours after that a Nintendo Wii was the next item for auction, in my frustration from the previous item I once again rented another hour of bidding but eventually the pc I sat on is slower than the last, so I lost for the second time. The last item for the night was a XBOX 360, the auction started at around 11:30 pm Philippine Standard Time. I don't know if the people who bid earlier ran out of bids or what , or I was just lucky to be the last one to win the item. Congratulations reigned that night on plurk from fellow bloggers.

"I WON! I WON! I WON!" said by the deranged man sitting in front of his pc as he repeatedly refreshed the past auctions winner hahaha. I was discreetly shouting like a sissy when I won. My brother was happy to hear me go nuts on my seat, father and sister was curious with what's all with the ruckus. I feel like I really hit the jackpot. My heart was beating so fast I thought I'll have an attack right there and then. I still can't believed it and slept at around 4 in the morning.

The first part was completed, winning an item at winila, the real big question is to whether I could claim the prize. I am almost convinced, just one more step which came into fruition a little while ago as I was rescheduled to claim my prize. Yup! yesterday I already claimed the item but for some technical reasons, Winila representatives weren't able to give me the item. So come 3:00 pm this April 14, 2010, I once again traveled from Dasmariñas City all the way to Funlabs Corp, Allegro Center 2284 Pasong Tamo Extension in Makati City. I was warmly greeted by Miss Tanya of Winila and was introduced to one of the managers of Winila. After some photo op and discussion about my experience. I called it a day and was excited to "un-box" it at home.





After a torturing 2 and a half of traveling from Makati to Dasmariñas City with some random instances of paranoia (hugging the item like it was "my precious"), I finally arrived home to bring another device that would add up to our growing monthly utility bill hahaha. Prior to claiming the item, I decided to but two XBOX games for the price of P 150 each which I later found out that they do not work on XBOX 360. I later research in an all-Pinoy XBOX online community (http://www.pinoyxbox.com/), that the console does not play pirated or burned games, not unless it is modified. Various pros and cons are discussed when a gamer decides to keep his XBOX modified or not. Well I am just in between of that right now. Guess I will enjoy my XBOX 360 a week from now.





So all in all, Winila is legitimate! Winila is the REAL DEAL! I was not some paid Joe that would make all of this just to market their website. In the end, Winila is a promising auction and gambling website. Yes, and in gambling you win some and you'll probably lose more. I think I was just really fortunate enough to win such gadget because there are only limited people who knows and actually supports this form of gambling. You might be thinking that they are just throwing away valuable itemsin exchange for a few cents? Believe me that once Winila go nationwide and attracted the right market for them, they will earn back what they initially invested on just like any other businesses. I think this post will deserve a part two, not focusing on my story anymore, but to what future this may bring to its participants and the company itself.



For now, I am in "waiting mode" for the item to be auction, how about PS3 or a PSP Go for only a few hundred of pesos? Not bad huh? Hehehehe

Facebook and Fizzer: Somethings New in the Social Networking Scene

Well there are somethings new in the social networking scene. Well besides the new 2010 look of Facebook's Homepage, there is also this new and promising social networking website, introducing Fizzer



Fizzer - A New Social Networking Site By a Filipino for the Filipinos

Thanks to a fellow blogger, I got the chance to know this new social networking website, Fizzer. At first I thought "Fizzer, sounds like that old Filipino company that has brands to treat wounds" but then again it is a completely different thing. I think this is a promising website since it is developed here in the Philippines and tends to focus more on the Filipino-based users I can also see it as a promising and effective media for advertising locally (for businesses and organizations that is). To learn more about Fizzer and the community then why not sign up and experience this new network yourselves by signing up here

Facebook's New Homepage Layout for 2010?

I have seen various plurks and twits regarding the new Facebook layout but I don't usually go on wild with these buzz until I have seen and experienced it myself, and guess what that is what recently happened.



This info is seen on top of the Feeds section of your Facebook homepage signifying that your account has been upgraded to this new look and feel.

I have logged in at around 4:30 in the morning February 09, 2010 to check the status on the facebook game I am currently playing, entitled Three Kingdoms Online and was a bit surprise to see this new layout. I immediately plurked this which was later responded by some plurkers in my network saying that their facebook's homepage haven't change a bit. I thought to myself that they shouldn't worry and that it is just a matter of time before everyone using the most popular social networking site has adapted this new lay out.

I had a friend online at this hour and said that the new facebook layout sucks, so I suggested to him to try other social networking website if he doesn't like the new layout (just like what he did when he shifted from Google to Bing just because he didn't like Google's new hover menu layout). Well, I received no response meaning that eventhough he didn't like the layout, he has no choice but to stick with it especially as we have a mini high school reunion this February the 13th.


Th Review on the New Facebook Layout for 2010

Let me go back to the new Facebook layout, I think the new facebook layout has a slicker design removing that long spacey toolbar on the bottom screen and cutting it to just a short one that holds the chat menu bar and the notifications menu. The quick bookmarks section have been moved on the upper left most part of the sidebar which is a good idea to actually save screen space. Well over all I find it the new layout likeable and slick.

So there you have it two things new on the Social networking scene this February 2010. There will be a double celebration this coming February 14 as the world celebrates Valentines Day and the Chinese community will celebrate the Chinese New Year, but that is a completely different blog entry.

An Ideal and Creative Advocacy Through Visuals With Vision

March 20, 2009 (Friday) A noble campaign and contest called Visuals With Vision was launched at Pablo X, Cubao in partnership with YOCard, the premier freecard provider in the Philippines.

The picture I used here are taken from my second partner in crime, the Sony Ericsson W760i. My brother brought the Canon Powershot A470 (my usual partner in covering blog events) so I crossed fingers and hope that the Sony Ericsson produced the same good quality pictures like my digi cam, luckily it did.



YoCard Online's Advocacy



Visuals with Vision Advocacy and Contest details here









I arrived early (as usual) at the venue, so early that they were just about to finish the set up for the event. So I decided not to approach the event first (not to show that I am that "excited" with the event hehehe). Around 8 in the evening people started flocking the small display room and that's were I signed up and still was the first one to log in.









I liked how YoCard creatively turn ordinary advertisements into aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and intellect postcards. Some of the photos I captured can be seen in my Visuals with Vision Launching Coverage Facebook Photo album





The people from WeWillDoodle turned the seeming blank postcard holders into holder of works of art which is also related to YoCard's Advocacies.
