YugaTech Contest #1: Merry Tweetmas

Listen to article

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.

If I were stuck in an island with a phone and only have one call left, who would you call and why?

I’ll call Paris Hilton. Sasabihin ko ang ganda ng island na napuntahan ko.. mas maganda pa sa Boracay. Then, ask ko siya na pumunta kasama mga kabarkada niya… tapos magpaparty kaming lahat.

Yeah!! Party People! Wish Granted. lolololol

island with a phone and
only have one call left,
who would you call and

I will call the owner of Twitter so he can tweet “Somebody is lost in an out-of-nowhere-island. CAN SOMEONE GIVE HIM A DAMN RESCUE!!”

Thanks :D

Answer:
I will call my professor to ask for an extension of deadline for my paper. I would definitely not finish it if I’m stuck in an island without my laptop.

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 would probably call my mom to apologize for all the trouble I caused her for twenty years and that I might not have the chance to see her for dinner. I’ll tell her that her seafood recipes will finally be put to good use and might even ask her for a survivor-esque substitute for the sampaloc mix she often uses.

If I were stuck on an island with only one person I can call, it would of course be my fiance. She’s at the top of every list and it’s only natural I call her. And I’m sure she’ll be the one to cascade my messages to everyone. And besides, there are things I can only tell to my fiance alone, but nothing I can’t tell her that’ll be for everyone else.

Response: Since it would be my last phone call, I’d give it a shot to call Globe customer service and ask assistance. I’ll ask them to triangulate my location and have the authorities rescue me! :-P

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. :)

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!

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.
