Who wants to meet Jason Derulo in person?

If only my 15-month old son Charles could talk, he might bug me for weeks to win this Channel V contest for him.

You see, he has learned his first danced moves while listening to Jason Derulo's hit In My Head. I even burned a CD of the music video so we can watch it anytime he wants. Now, what we only thought can happen in our dreams can turn into a reality.

Channel V wants you to meet Mr. Derulo in person this July. Five (5) lucky winners along with a friend will be given this chance if you'll correctly answer the question found in Channel V official website.

Hurry, you only have until July 16 to figure out the correct response!

Also, I want to thank all the Channel V peeps for granting my request last Father's Day during my favorite program LOOP. What really made me very thankful was an email from them saying that they'll be sending me a Technomarine watch for the chosen request! Cool! That's why I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this JDerulo contest :-)

FREE Concert and Freebies at Converse Event

Finally, my pair of Chuck Taylor can have their long due makeover this coming Saturday (July 3) at the Spark Creativity with Converse event happening at the Times Square Streat, Araneta Center in Cubao.  My first Chucks was in 1993 during the dawn of the E-heads era.  Got my new pairs last year as birthday gift from my wife.  I want to put something on it like my wifey or son's name perhaps.

That's a creative way of doing it)

And of course, there will be a FREE concert with some of the hottest band today: Callalily, Silent Sanctuary, Kenyo and Sugarfree promises to rock the night away!  If you have questions regarding the event, you can post in the comment section of Araneta Center's Multiply site.

image taken from sevensuites.net

I was looking for an Eclipse promo/ contest since my wife and sis-in-law has been asking for FREE tickets for the premiere night of the movie when I found this photo contest. It might not be the Eclipse contest that I'm searching for but it's kinda challenging and interesting. 

Seven Suites Hotel Observatory in Antipolo City is inviting all photographers, both pro or amateur, young and old, may camera o wala (basta may phone with cam okay na), to join their Partial Lunar Eclipse photo competition on June 26.

There is a registration fee of Php 250 per contestant which comes with a FREE iced tea, assorted canapes, and use of the giant telescope (4th most powerful in the country next to the one being used by PAGASA, UP NISMED and Baguio Observatory).

Manila Bulletin Announcement of Essay Writting Contest

Hi there guys! Apologies for the long "rest"

No thanks to the week-long internet problems that we had with Globe here at Mandaluyong area. It felt like I was living under the rock. I was able to check my emails and this blog through Smartbro prepaid but not enough time and load to browse and post online contests to share to all my readers.

And now, I'm back and will definitely post some of my finds within the day (unless we would again experience intermittent internet connection, Globe have mercy!)

To start off, I am posting the announcement of Manila Bulletin regarding the delay of posting the winners list for the month of May in connection to their Write an Essay, Win a Samsung Netbook contest.

Due to the number of entries, 557 all in all, the winners will be finally revealed this coming Thursday, June 24. And I will surely post it on my blog as soon as I grab a copy of the issue.

Btw, they are already accepting entries for the month of June and the question is:
What one modern gadget can't you live without and why?

Same mechanics as last month. The deadline for this one is on July 10 and winners will be announced on July 17 (hopefully, on time this time)

Grand winner will win one (1) Samsung netbook while the runner-up will win a Samsung printer.

FREE Brothers Burger Cap for Every Dad

Thinking of a nice treat for your dad on Father's Day?

Well, how would you like to give him a special premium Brothers Wagyu Burger? It's not everyday that his doctor would allow him to indulge himself to a flame-grilled 100% Wagyu Beef with farm fresh tomatoes and lettuce on Kaiser bun with French fries on the side.

Umm...hmmm! But wait, there's more!

If you dine-in with your dad at any Brothers Burger branch nationwide from June 18-20, your father will be envied by other dads with his FREE limited-edition Brothers Burger Cap as a special reward in his honor (guys, I'm just typing as is what the PR is saying)

Win Kiddie Watches

If my memory serves me right, I learned to tell time when I was five years old. The only time I know then was 10:30 pm.

Well, when I was young the only thing that matters is my weekly dose of WWF (yes, not yet WWE) and the mayhem of pro wrestling every Wednesday evening. Until now, I still watch the brawls at Jack TV but I kinda got loss with the sked so I often end up catching the replays instead.

Anyways, so much for the long segue. Here's the thing: Kids Watch Central is giving away three (3) cool wristwatches for your little ones of lucky readers of Animetric's World.

Just go to the blog and answer the question "How important is teaching time management to kids and what’s the best tip that you can share to other moms regarding teaching your child time management?" by posting a reply to the comments section.

Kindly include your full name and e-mail address and you also need to be a follower of the blog so your entry will be considered.

FREE Wealth Seminar

Who wants to be a millionaire?

No, I am not promoting Bossing Vic Sotto's TV game show. I'm actually asking you guys if you want to attend a FREE whole-day training seminar entitled (say this line ala-He Man) "Be A Multi-Millionaire By Using the Most Money Management System in the World"

Dunkin Donut's Eclipse Promo

The third installment of the Twilight Saga will be shown in the Philippines at the end of the month so a lot of people, especially the fans of the series like my wife and sis-in-law, are looking for just about any movie tie-in promotions available.

To start the ball rolling for what will be an Eclipse-mania in the coming weeks, Dunkin Donut is coming out with Eclipse collectible tot bags for Php 20 each when you buy a dozen donut. Could have been a better promo if this is for FREE, right?

Well, this is still expected to be a hit to the hardcore fans of Edward and Bella. Promo is good until June 30, 2010.

Apologies if the image on this post is a bit unclear 'coz i just scanned it from a newspaper.

More or less, I am hearing Yeses, right? I just want to invite you guys to join/ like Mapanghingi ka ba? FB account.

Why? well... we can do a lot of things there like Farmville perhaps?

Seriously, I see FB as another venue where I can announce promos, freebies and stuff. Plus, I might run a mini promos that I'll announce first to my FB friends. So, I hope I convinced you na ha?

Plus, you can have a review of sort of the promos that are still running that I posted in this blog and were buried with other entries. Who knows, you might find a previous entry that you could have overlook. They're posted posted in FB now!

Dove Showeroke Challenge

All Pinoys can sing. I would like to believe that it is a FACT.

Some Pinoys love to sing in front of a lot people why others just want to belt it out ala-Sarah G. during shower time.

Now, here's a contest especially organized by Dove for the latter group. Here's the teaser I got from them. It almost convinced me so it might work to some of you guys, out there:

Are your pipes ready? Turn on the shower with Dove Go Fresh and turn up the volume on your favorite shower tunes! Dove's Showeroke offers you the chance to be the next fresh music sensation and win fresh prizes from Dove.

Share a video of you performing your choice of shower song while holding a Dove Go Fresh Beauty Bar, Body Wash or Deodorant Stick. (Note that users must have a YouTube or Gmail account in order to upload a video.) Videos must be a maximum of 5 minutes long.

Deadline of Submission is June 9, 2010.
