2. Link to this contest entry and SemCon website at www.imvsolutions.com.

Congrats! Please email me asap with your complete name, contact number and address. I will try to have it couriered this week-end so you get it by Monday or Tuesday the latest. Thanks to WalterMart Makati for sponsoring the movie tickets.

To the others who joined, thanks! Will post more giveaways in the coming weeks so watch out for them (I just remembered I have a ton of laptop bags and t-shirts in a box somewhere).

So I’m giving away movie passes to any movie shown in WalterMart Cinemas from today ’til April. Here’s a simple way to get a chance to have these free tickets delivered to your home:

Answer this simple question: What’s your most anticipated summer movie of 2009?

You can leave a comment as an entry to the raffle, blog about it, Tweet or Plurk (pointing to this post, of course you need to add me there in order for me to track it). The more ways you answer the question, the more entries you have and bigger chances of getting the free passes (the Mall Manager tells me they might do the giveaways regularly/monthly). For commenters, only one comment qualifies.

Each winner will get 2 free passes so we’ll announce 6 winners this Friday and send the tickets to you by week-end. Anyone is eligible but if you’re from the province or outside Metro Manila, it will be hard to use these tickets so you’ll have to give/gift it to someone near Makati (as tickets are only valid at WalterMart Cinemas).

I’m not one who’s great at checking out what’s fashionable or not but according to a lady friend who saw it the during unboxing says it cool. Well, I agree that this one has a very eye-catching color (they’ve got more brightly-colored models available). TechTote calls the color Grape Fizz so that’s purple to most of us (I’m a bit color blind).

There are two compartments inside (prolly to separate the laptop from the cable charger) and fits between 8 to 10-inch netbook sizes with additional velcro-sealed pockets on the side for other accessories. See more pics below.

The guys from TechTote agreed I can give this away to our lady readers here at YugaTech so here’s your chance to grab this purple laptop bag for yourself — leave a comment below and tell me what brand and size of laptop do you own. We’ll raffle this off to one lucky reader by Monday (free shipping anywhere in the Philippines).

If you want one or looking to buy one for your girlfriend or wife, check out TechTote.net or email info@techtote.net for inquiries or orders.

Our first 3 winers are those who answered the question about their laptop. We placed all 114 comments in Randomizer and took out the first 3 on the list as our winners. If any of the original 3 did not qualify, we move on and award it to next on the list.

Here are the winners:

• Comment # 17: Gerald
• Comment # 52: Abby
• Comment # 16: Tonti

Our next set of winners will go to the first person to guess the color sequence correctly. I used Random.org to shuffle the 4 colors.

Here are the winners:

• Comment # 14: Jamie
• Comment # 19: whackerZ

To the winners, congratulations! You have until Wednesday midnight (Sept 24) to email me and claim your prizes. Please use the email you used to post the comment here and include your complete name, address and contact number.

If any of the winners cannot claim it by then, we will move to the next in line and he/she will be given 24 hours after the previous deadline to send in their emails as well. That means, some of you still have the chance to get the laptop bag if the original winners did not claim it on time.

If you’re already a member of Auction.PH, just login and bid for a certain price between Php1.00 and Php5,000 (increments of Php0.50). If you guessed it right, you get to buy it for that prize.

Only one guess per AuctionPH member allowed. But, if you invite other people to join and register at Auction.PH, you get an additional guess for each member you invited. Grab the contest widget and put it in your blog, website or Friendster/Facebook page and you get to guess some more. The more people you invite and the more you sue the widget, the bigger the chance you can guess the iPhone 3G’s price.

Check it out!
