Good luck to everyone!

Father's day is still a month away but you might want to plan ahead to give him a very special celebration this year. How about a Php 10,000-worth of shopping spree at Robinsons Mall for FREE.

The Philippine Star and Robinsons Mall is looking for the five (5) daddies who deserve this special treat in their Daddy's Cool! promotion. Calling all sons and daughters to join this contest.  Just tell in 200 words or less why your dad means the world to you.

Send your entries to daddyscool@philstar.com.ph with a photo of your father doing what he does best (talent, skill, or hobby) from May 20 to June 3, 2012.  Include your name, age, address, contact nos. and the name and age of your dad.

Just one important note: Senders and their dad, in case they win, must make themselves available during the prize turnover on June 8 (Friday). All winning daddies will be featured in the June 17 (Father's day) issue of the Philippine Star.

Last year, fellow blogger Vance Madrid of www.purpleplumfairy.blogspot.com won the Mother's day edition of this contest.  Fortunately, my Nanay also won this year in what I consider a very generous promotion from Robinsons Malls and their affiliated shops.  I hope another fellow blogger or one of my readers win this thing as well.

There's me with my son Charles and Nanay Conchit during the awarding for Robinsons Mall Mother's Day promo 2012. This photo was published in the May 13, 2012 issue of the Philippine Star.

Every man’s dream fulfilled: The Axe Anarchy Raid is here!

Every man’s dream fulfilled: The Axe Anarchy Raid is here!

For the man’s man, only a few things on this earth can prove as exciting as the thrill of the hunt. Axe pumps up the pleasure of the predator-and-prey pursuit with the Axe Anarchy Raid, the metro’s hottest game of cops-and-robbers that features 100 of the Philippines’ sexiest  ladies chasing a hundred ordinary guys for a two million peso cash prize, to be held on June 9 at Eastwood Plaza, Libis.

The Axe Anarchy Raid is open to all men of legal age who are bold enough to be part of the 100 contenders. Playing the role of robbers, the shortlisted men will be handcuffed and assigned a number. The ladies will play the role of cops and will also be assigned certain numbers each. Braving a host of wild obstacles and challenges, the “cops” must hunt down the “robber” with the same number as hers. The first pair to make a successful arrest will clinch the coveted prize in this no-losers game of fun and adrenaline-filled pursuit.

The explosive event is presented by Axe Anarchy, the first fragrance from Axe for both men and women.  With its stimulating scent that fires up the senses, Axe Anarchy releases uncontrollable appeal in every hunk and babe and takes attraction to a new level.

Give in to the new order of insatiable attraction. Try out the new Axe Anarchy and join the year’s most exciting high-stakes chase. Check out www.facebook.com/axephilippines for more details and watch out for updates on the list of female celebrities who will enlist in the hunt.
