I joined YugaTech’s online giveaway last month even if I had little hope of winning. Joining the giveaway was easy so I still gave it a go despite my hesitations and hoped for the best. I told to myself, maybe this time I’d get lucky! As soon as I shared my entry on my Facebook profile, two of my friends were already asking to share some of my prizes with them. They thought I won already since I was already thanking Yugatech & Cliptec PH (sponsor of the giveaway). Haha! Christmas day came; it was also the day when Abe will announce the winners of his giveaways. My dad and I were waiting for my sister & mom to return from their post-Christmas shopping when I decided to check Yugatech (thank you SM, for your free wi-fi). I already psyched myself not to expect anything so I was really surprised when I saw my name as one of the winners! If I were at home I would have screamed and probably ran around the house (parang nanalo lang sa lotto) but I was in a mall so I had to keep it cool! As soon as I got home, I sent Abe my details via e-mail, shared the news to my sister (who also won an online giveaway!), parents & Facebook.

I finally got my prizes today! I was hoping to get it sooner (excited much?) but since it was the holidays I did not mind. So what did I actually get? I got a pink CLiPtec Silicone Optical Mouse Pad (Opti-Pad) and a white CLiPtec Magic-Mate Portable Multimedia Speaker. I’ll post pictures of the actual items soon I was hoping to get a headset w/ mic or a multi-card reader (The two multi-card reader I bought from CD-R King is not working anymore :() since I really need (want) one but undecided if I should get one from CD-R King or from Octagon/Asianic. I want a quality purchase, one that would not easily break but at the same time not expensive. But who am I to complain, right? A freebie is a freebie. I’m currently using my mouse pad while my boyfriend asked for the portable speakers as soon as he saw it.

Thanks again Abe for the prizes and for bringing it to my office. It was nice meeting you too even for just a couple of seconds

As promised, here’s the photos of the items I’ve won.

I say goodbye to this chapter of my life… And I look forward to what comes next.

This is a bit too late I know. I’ve constantly seen this year-end meme floating around blogs for as long as I can remember and I always wanted to do this on my blog but never had the time to do it until now. I had to chose the questions because there were just too many that had one-word answers (No or None) or I’d rather not answer

1. Where were you when 2011 began and who were you with?

I was in Melbourne, in Federation Square to be exact. I waited for the fireworks display with my officemates and my sister who was visiting me for the holidays.

2. Where were you when 2011 ended and who were you with?

I was back home with my parents & sister in Manila. The usual: preparing for Media Noche, arranging the 13 round fruits, round chocolates, gold coin chocolates, salt, cotton, ginger & garlic (Mom and her “feng shui” beliefs)

3. Did you go abroad in 2011?

Yes, I arrived in Melbourne in 2010. My initial assignment was for 2 months only but for some unforeseen circumstances in the project, I stayed until end of October of this year.

4. How many different states did you travel to in 2011?

In Australia, I’ve been to 2 states: Melbourne which is in Victoria and Sydney which is in New South Wales. In the Philippines, I’ve been to 2 different provinces as well: Subic & Puerto Princesa.

5. What was your most embarrassing moment of 2011?
