When I opened my Facebook account today, I was so happy to see that there are bloggers who tagged me in their comments. They tagged and congratulated me because I won in PinkMagaline.com‘s Christmas Giveaway.

The prizes includes:
2 pieces gift checks from Get Polished, valued at P500 each
vintage necklace
Oro panythose sandal-toe stockings
vintage ring
peacock ring
bag organizer (contents not included)

A Traveler’s Need: Samsung Dual Lcd Camera
Because I am an online contest addict, travel blogger, and camera whore all rolled into one, I would not let this opportunity of owning a very perfect and suitable camera for free (if I won the contest that is). You see, as I was browsing my friends blogs, I have found out that Samsung has launched ST700, PL170, and PL120 and is currently having an online contest in Facebook. So how can I turn that down? Before I share to you the mechanics I want to share to you why would I love to own any one of these dine new discoveries of Samsung. See the video below first then I will enumerate my reasons for wanting to own one.
You see, I am sick of taking pictures of myself using my long hands which only captures my own face and sometimes I even miss my lips. So having this camera would definitely be a totally different story because it has two LCDs and I will definitely see myself on the other LCD while taking my picture. Aside from that, I am not good at taking JUMP SHOTS because I do not own a DSLR camera which could make my life easier.
Aside from that, there is another feature that I really love about this various Samsung cameras with dual LCD. There is a child mode feature which allows the parents or the one who is taking a picture show an animation or set of cartoon characters to entertain children and capture their smiling and happy moments while they are enjoying their time. Why would I appreciate an innovation like this one? Because I am a mother and I know how hard it is to capture a smiling moment of my son because most of the time he must not be forced to smile in front of the camera.
A travel blogger needs a camera to capture the moment of his or her travel life. Blogging with pictures is a totally different story from just blogging and writing stuffs. Having pictures would entice the readers and blog visitor’s to really read the article or blog post and maybe visit the place if they have the time because they have seen the hidden beauty of such places.
And now for the juicy part of all, these are the mechanics of the contest going on in Samsung Cameras PH Facebook Fan page:
1. Like and Share the Samsung Camera fan page to your friends.
![]()
2. Type “Win Samsung 2View Cameras by liking and sharing @Samsung Cameras PH” in your status message box. Don’t forget to tag the Samsung Camera fan page!
3. All tagged entries will be raffled off, where two (2) lucky fans get a chance to win a Samsung 2View Camera – (ST500)!
Promo Period: May 15, 2011 – May 30, 2011
I hope I am not too late to join the contest and I am crossing my fingers to be one of the lucky winners. How about you? Don’t you want to own one Samsung dual LCD camera for FREE? What are you waiting for? Check their page out and join the FUN!!

My Love for 2 Piece
My close friends haven’t seen me wearing 2 piece when we we are young, I just developed my love for these beauties when I turned 23. So now that I am 25, I only have 3 pairs of 2 piece because there are no swimming pools or beaches here in or town.
My favorite item/product in House of Flair is Victoria Secret’s Bikini (pink stripe-picture above) in Victoria Secret’s Bikini/Swimsuit album because my favorite color is Pink and just by the looks of this one, I know I can be as sexy as the VS models could be.
This is my official entry for dash’s contest.

My New Year’s Resolution
A New Year’s Resolution by a trying hard Fashionista and almost broke Viajera!
For a person like me, a New Year’s Resolution is indeed a NEED. Ever since I have learned how to write an essay in school, my English subject teacher would always asked me , or rather, the whole class to write a New Year’s Resolution in a bond paper and pass it before the year ends. So far, the only thing that I can remember is that my New Year’s Resolution is always BORING. So now, I will make it more COOL and FUN.
My New Year’s Resolution for 2011 is not to be a better daughter or a better mother but a better person. Though I sometimes answer back my parents when they talk to me or scold me for something I have done, I still consider myself as a good daughter because I don’t hold grudges against my parents and yes I admit my mistakes and faults and say sorry after what I have done and so I will try to become a better person in order to avoid more clashes with the parents. I am a single-mother and I know it is hard to be a father and mother at the same time to your child, so I will just have to stick to my new year’s resolution and that is to be a better person in order for me to be able to guide my son to become a good person even though we are only a family of two. Change is always constant and as long as I am open to the possibility that I could change my not-so-good ways of living my life into the more-right-things-to-do in my life, I can be a better person that what I am now.
And before I forgot, I want that BDJ Planner because I never had one. I won in an online contest last year or was it last January and I haven’t had it because I cannot claim it for I am living-so-far-away from Manila, so please let me have that BDJ Planner now and make my wish come true.
This is my official entry to Skysenshi’s Contest. You can join it too by checking it out here: SkySenshi.

“Sharing this Christmas Season” – Zoan Style

Christmas is best shared with Pinoy Food Recipes on the table. Aside from Simbang-Gabi and Exchange of Gifts, Noche Buena is what I am really looking forward to every year during the Christmas Season because it is not every day that my Mom would cook delicious foods that are typical “Handa” for Noche Buena.
This year, our Christmas may not be the same for the years that have passed because we have lost 4 relatives just this year, 3 due to political killings and 1 due to sickness. Though we are grieving for our loss, we cannot let Christmas just pass by without celebrating it. Our lost loved ones will not be happy if we will still be grieving for them even though that Christmas season should be celebrated with Joy and Laughter. It is our tradition to celebrate Christmas with our relatives, kids do the exchanging of gifts and show some presentations during the mini-program we had after the Mass on the 24th of December.
My Mom and her siblings also see to it that they help in the Church’s gift-giving. Christmas is also the season of giving so we always see to it that old toys which can still be played will be given to children who cannot afford to buy a new one, old clothes will be given to the less fortunate and could appreciate it, and old bags and shoes/slippers to the needy who knock on our door and asks for some. Sharing the blessings that God has lent to us cannot hurt us; in fact more blessings will come our way if we share everything that we have.
Sharing is Love, and Love is God. Let us share to our brothers and sisters the material things that they don’t have.
