YugaTech Contest #1: Merry Tweetmas

Note: Round #1 ends 5pm today, December 21, 2009.

Starting this week, we’ll be doing a series of different contests for our “YugaTech Great Gadget Giveaway” with a major theme around it. It will be really simple and have easy mechanics. Our contest for this week is called “Merry Tweetmas”.

Round 1: Our theme for this week will be Twitter. Here’s the mechanics:

1) Follow @abeolandres and @talk2globe on Twitter.

2) Post a tweet “Just entered to win a Modu Phone. Quick! Go follow @abeolandres and @talk2globe and retweet: http://bit.ly/6e2q7O #thanks2yugatech

We’re giving away a Modu phone, 10 Globe Tattoo and 20 Php500 prepaid call cards randomly. That’s 31 winners in all for the Twitter giveaway.

If you don’t have a Twitter account but own a blog, here’s another way for you to join in this week’s giveaways:

1) Blog about the “YugaTech Great Gadget Giveaway”. Include the photo I posted here and link to this contest page.

2) Don’t forget to include in your post the mechanics for the Twitter contest above.

3) Leave a comment here with the URL of your entry.

For this one, we’ll give away another Modu phone, 10 Globe Tattoo and 10 prepaid load cards worth Php500 each. That’s 21 additional winners for a total of 52 winners this week.

Lastly, for our YugaTech readers who don’t Twitter or blog, here’s one for you:

1) Leave a comment on this contest page with the answer to this question — “If you’re stuck in an island with a phone and only have one call left, who would you call and why?“.

Ten most witty or creative answers will each win Php500 worth of prepaid load cards from Globe.

You can join in any of the 3 separate giveaways above but you can only win once for this round. If you win twice or on all 3, you get the bigger prize.

globeThat’s a total of 62 lucky winners this week alone. This is just to warm you up for that grand prize. Go and start spreading the word!

Our giveaways won’t be this huge if not for our sponsors. Go thank Globe in your own little way.

Note: Anyone can join in the contests as many times since we’ll have more rounds in the coming weeks and months. Items will be shipped anywhere in the Philippines for free.

Note: Round #1 ends 5pm today, December 21, 2009.

    Question:
    If you’re stuck in an island with a phone and only have one call left, who would you call and why?

    Answer:
    I’ll call my mom. As cliche as it may sound, but, she’s not only my mother, she’s my best friend. The past years we’ve been separated by distance and as such were deprived of special moments that shoud’ve been shared together.I love mom so much and there’s no more opportune time to tell her that than when i get stuck in an island.

  10. Question:
    If you’re stuck in an island with a phone and only have one call left, who would you call and why?

    Answer:
    I’ll call my husband, para magbilin to buy milk and diapers for the baby! and then i’ll ask him to pass the phone to our baby so i can sing to him our favorite lullaby and then i’ll talk again to my husband to let him know that no matter what happens, he and our baby will always be loved and that they should live their lives to the fullest and with no regrets.

    I will call my wife to ask her to Share-A-Load with me so we can talk more, and get me out of this ridiculous island!

    To yugatech..

    I know this may sound funny or what, but one thing for sure the thing that comes to my mind is to ASK FOR A RESCUE, hello im stuck on and island and desperate to escape and that 1 call left is my life saver i don’t wanna celebrate my new years or xmas on an island ALONE! in today’s world we should be practical and we should use our brains to overcome such obstacles in life. that’s it.. good day!

    Question:

    Answer:
    I would call the person who decided that non bloggers/twitterers can only win prepaid loads and not gadgets. Then tell him how unfair that is for most of us. :)
