TECHIE SHE LUCKY BLOGGER GIVEAWAYS WEEK 21 - SHOPPING

This is my entry to the Week 21 of the Techie She Lucky Blogger Weekly Giveaways. This week’s prize is $10 Paypal credits from Shydub of Impulsive Shopper.

This month was such a blessing for me because of the prize I've won which made my Paypal happy. LOL. I also made money with the sideline job I did for my dad's client. Together with my mom and sister, we went SHOPPING this week. I also accompanied my dad to go SHOPPING for a new pair of shoes that he will use for his new job. :) It's my treat to them. To show them some love. hehe... Although my sister got most of the perks wherein I paid for her stuff from head to foot, including accessories. HAHA! My mom just wants a few new tops for her but she still hasn't find any that she likes especially because my sister was all like "I want this. I want that.". My mom couldn't searched for what she likes. HAHA! So I told her that we'll just go SHOPPING some other time. Then, she asked not to bring my sister along that time. HAHAHA! It was tiring but it was fun. And I have to say, SHOPPING is really a nice way to bond. :)

Nuffnang, Cowboys and Pizzas

It was one hot and fun-filled night thanks to Nuffnang and Pizzahut.Deej and I won 2 tickets for a free movie screening of Cowboys and Aliens last night at Gateway. Deej and I convinced one of our classmates to come but unfortunately she got sick yesterday while I tagged my mom along with me.

I woke up late so we met with Deej at Isetann around 6pm. We took the LRT2 because its the fastest way to get there. While I was in line to buy our train cards, I saw a Coke's booth full of people. Many people were going to and fro the booth and as they go, they have with them a can of Coke Zero. So, after buying the cards, I told my mom and Deej to come with me and check it out. And guess what? They're giving away those Coke Zero cans for free! Whoa! At this point, I feel like it will be a night full of freebies, not to mention our free movie. Yey!

At last, we arrived at Gateway after approximately 30 minutes. There were already a lot of bloggers and they were eating. There was a cater from Pizzahut Bistro that served Mozzarella sticks, Fries, Chicken Fillet and Iced Tea but the sauces were out. Well maybe that's what you get when you're late. Oh, bother! And hey! There's no pizza?! Sadly, there was no pizza served but the cater was great. Oh! Unfortunately, my Clover cam is not at it's perfect performance that time that's why I only had a few pictures and my digital camera has no battery. *Sigh!*

Taken from my Clover cam and edited the contrast and brightness.

We just took a few pictures then we fell in line. As the line walks towards the theater, there were Pizzahut riders protesting against late and cold delivered pizzas. LOL! We can actually hear them while we were still eating that's why we were surprised, amazed and giggling when we finally knew what it was all about. HAHAHA! Well I have to say that they got everybody's attention and they did it well. LOL. Each of us were also given a Pizzahut Hot Dot sticker, free popcorn and bottled water but still no pizza. LOL.

 

Inside the theater, they had some introductions and speeches like the ones before but this one was off the hook. There was a surprise special performance by the Pizzahut riders, the ones protesting outside. LOL. They got inside the theater and dance for all of us. It was so much fun! Who could imagine they've got skills? HAHA! The theater was full of laughs and applauses from the speeches to the performance. After their performance, we get to experience the new Hot Dot sticker from Pizzahut which tells you if the delivered pizza is still hot or not by amazingly revealing the HOT word on the sticker. Unbelievable? Well watch this. This video was taken from my phone wherein the Hot Dot sticker changed from black to HOT. HAHA! Anyway, sorry for the low quality. The audio has a bad quality that's irritating to the ears so I think it's best if you just turn it off. hehe...

That's a lot of stickers, eh? haha...

Aside from the sticker given upon entering the theater, we were also given brochures with discount coupons.
Sticker galore. LOL.

And guess what? After that, they gave us the pizza! Yey! We got a whole box! LOL! The 3 of us shared it but one of the guests along our seat was a little late and asked her friends how they got the pizza. We shared her our pizza which she was thankful. :) You've got to share your blessings, right? After all, we have a box. hehe... A few more words from Pizzahut's superiors then the show started.

No more details about the movie. Maybe I'll share it with my movie review. You know I'm not a spoiler, right? :D teehee... All I can say is that the movie was great. It was unexpectedly good because I personally don't have any intentions of watching it. I'm just after the new experience that Nuffnang will bring me with this event. hehe... But all in all, it was another satisfying night brought to us by Nuffnang. :) 'Til the next event! *wink!*

Nuffnang and PLDTmyDSL Special Movie Screening

First of all I'd like to thank Nuffnang and PLDTmyDSL for the wonderful experience and the chance to watch Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. I was really happy to have that movie date with my mom. :) It was awesome that I don't know how and where to start my story. LOL!

Okay, first off! The movie screening was held at Shangri-la Mall Cineplex around 7 in the evening but the winners should be there at 6pm.

Earlier that day my thesismate and I had an appointment regarding our thesis which made me a little tired. In the afternoon, I met up with my mom at the LRT station so we can go to the venue together. Unfortunately, the train we rode was defective so after 2 stations, we had to alight and wait for another train. WHAT THE?! Imagine how many people were inside that DEFECTIVE train! PLUS the people waiting at the platform! Oh c'mon! But we can't do anything about it, right? So we just eagerly wait for a train to ride. It took us an hour to get to the MRT station because the defective train barely moved and kept us inside while their technicians are checking it for problems. Good thing, we arrived at the venue exactly 6pm even though the MRT train was jam packed. HAHA! 

We entered the mall through the MRT station then while walking towards the Cineplex, I saw Jennylyn Mercado with Luis Manzano! I looked back at my mom, who was a few steps behind me, and moved my mouth telling her that Jennylyn and Luis were inside a shop. She didn't get it so she approached me then asked. After telling it to her, she simply walked back passing the shop then returning to me but of course she looked at the shop. She said Jen giggled when she noticed her passing and looking at Jen. HAHA! Though we already saw Jen before, years ago, I still adore seeing her. :) hihi...

We got to the Cineplex but there were no group of people. I'm surprised but when I saw a lady wearing a nametag with a Nuffies header, I approached her and asked. She told me that it was upstairs and I have to register first. So up we go and voila! Oh, there they are! And hey, there are Transformers cosplayers! Yey! HAHA! At the registration table, I saw stickers with names. They asked for my name and my companion's which they wrote on a separate sticker. They gave me the tickets and told me to get the sticker with my name on and place it anywhere I want. hihi... The lovely girls from PLDT gave me 2 id lanyards. Yey freebies! My camera's faulty that time so I didn't notice that my picture holding my prizes wasn't captured. :( huhu... But I took a picture of them when we got home so you can check it out below. :)

At the registration

Pretty cool, huh? :)

The lady at the table told me that there is a buffet and a photo booth for all. But I didn't hear her clear so I don't know where it is. :P HAHAHA! We looked for it downstairs because we can't see it there although we didn't search thoroughly. :P hehe... I was hungry as well so we bought popcorn, drinks and hotdog, for my mom. When we got up, we saw people eating at some tables. We walked through and there we saw the buffet! I was like, "OH MAN!". It was late but unfortunately we already bought our food and we can't do anything about it AGAIN. Yet, we still ate the foods they serve and saved ours for the movie. :P hoho! They serve finger foods but it made me full already given that I'm hungry. LOL! Here's the buffet food.

It's kinda blurry. Sorry. :(

The standing tables were all occupied and full so we just settled at the near ledge. LOL. Nothing to be ashamed of even if there were rich people in the venue but it serves us more comfortable and we also saw someone do it that's why we just did it as well. HAHA! I'm not a food blogger or an expert but from what I've tasted I can somewhat tell the ingredients of those finger foods. :) I'm pretty sure that the iced tea is not Nestea because I love that brand. lol. I think it's Lipton. :) The kebab-like is composed of a cucumber and a sausage(not sure, or maybe bologna?), I think. There is also a baked potato as small as a fishball. LOL. The pizza-like consist of fish fillet, tomato, and... I forgot. HAHA! The wrap has chicken meat in it with that green leafy veggie. I think it's lettuce. All in all, it was gooood. :) Here's a clearer shot below but with our drink and the hotdog. HAHA!

I think you know it even without the blur. LOL

After eating, we just didn't waste time and grab some pictures with the cosplayers. I've got pictures from all of them. :) hihi...

 Bumblebee, my favorite :)

Sentinel Prime

Optimus Prime, my 2nd fave :)

Megatron

While we were eating, I saw the photo booth the lady was talking about but I forgot about it after eating and we will be shortly entering the cinema when I remembered it. :( We were near the doors waiting. The previous screening ended and I was just looking at the people coming out when I saw Carlo Gonzales among them. *Hah!* I just can't tell if I'm lucky or not because I see celebrities when I least expect them yet talk about our troubles that day. HAHA!

Before the movie started, 3 bloggers were rewarded for having a creative post. They also conducted a contest to give others a chance to win some cool prizes. Unfortunately, I didn't win but what I'm really after is the movie screening. :) And guess what! Pia Arcangel is in the cinema with her husband, Mico Halili. She's so beautiful. I'm just a newbie with Nuffnang's event so I'm not familiar with other bloggers and I was surprised that he is a blogger, as well as Patty Laurel. Well, here's a sneak peak of the mini introduction program. After that, the movie started.

Can you see the prizes? :)

It's only my second time joining an event from Nuffnang but I can already tell, even with my first experience, that it's so much fun and really unforgettable. Once again, Thank you Nuffnang and PLDT. Hope to be involved in another fun-thrilling experience, and more power. :)
