Does your Kumare deserve to Win?

I was so lazy to go to work one morning that I found myself lying like a dead wood on the sofa while channel surfing the TV.

I was so lazy that the length of intervals of me changing the channel using the remote control is every almost 10 seconds.

I was so lazy that I when the RC fell down on the floor, I did not bother picking it up.

Then there was Kumare Klub on TV 5.  The new morning show, which airs every weekdays at 7:00 am, that offers an hour of rich information and solutions for mothers’ dilemmas at home plus do-it-yourself tips and health information for moms and children.  It stars the trio of Amy Perez, Cristine Bersola and Chiqui Roa Puno.  Among the three, the last Chiqui was the one who made me lift my lazy ass off the sofa.

Chiqui has this Chuiqui Chiqui Dance Dance portion where she teaches a group of moms in the set, which viewers can follow popular and latest dance steps.  It's like ala-Billy Banks or Richard Simmons workout Pinoy-style.  And I am not ashamed to admit that Chiqui teached me how to dougie.

Other great segments in the show includes the nominate your kumare giveaway where TV viewers are invited to send a letter to the show regarding a kumare who they think deserves to win a surprise gift--- shopping spree, a complete make-over, vacation treat and others.

Now, if you think you have a kumare who deserves to be a queen for a day. Send an email to kumareklub@tv5.com.ph and indicate why she should be picked along with your name and contact details.

Win an iPad2 from Nasaan si Aga? promo

Aga with Pinoy Explorer Director Rowell Santiago

We had a general cleaning at home last weekend and was surprised with the loot of toys that we have bought for our 2-year old son in the last 24 months.

I said to my wife, "Pwede na ko magtayo ng toy store."

Since December is just around the corner, I am just waiting for the annual Christmas toy donation drive by a leading fastfood chain to be announced and I think I have a box-full of playthings to donate.

Btw, nasaan na nga ba si Aga Muhlach?  Unless you are living under a rock, you know that he is the face of the worthy cause that has made thousands of less fortunate kids happy during the holidays for so many years.

I think TV 5 has heard my plea and sent me an invite to a launching of a TV show and an exciting promotion where a lucky soul can win an iPad 2.  Here's the actual PR that I got from the event.

Aga is leaving the country and everyone is wondering where he is going. Anyone can take a guess, but TV5 makes the guessing a lot more fun and exciting with the launch of the “Nasaan Si Aga?” text and Twitter promo which runs from August 10 to September 1, 2011.

The challenge lies in guessing where Aga is going via clues that will gradually be revealed in newspaper print ads and through the promo’s official website www.nasaansiaga.com. To join the “Nasaan Si Aga?” text promo, interested participants can register by texting AGA REG <Name/Address> to 2929. Registration is free! To start guessing Aga’s whereabouts, participants can text AGA <answer> to 2929 and earn one raffle entry for each answer sent. The text promo is open to all Smart, Sun and Globe subscribers. Tariff rates apply.

For the “Nasaan Si Aga?” Twitter promo, participants can visit www.nasaansiaga.com and start earning raffle entries by tweeting using the #nasaansiaga hashtag. Each Twitter user earns one raffle entry regardless of how many tweets made. The profile photos of participants who tweet using the #nasaansiaga hashtag will be collated by a program to form a mosaic that will gradually show an image of Aga’s location. The mosaic can be viewed on the official website. The more tweets, the faster the image will form. Upon reaching 10,000 tweets, the complete image will be revealed.

At the end of the promo on September 1, 2011, one Twitter user from the mosaic will be chosen as the winner of a brand new Apple iPad2. The “Nasaan Si Aga?” text promo winner of an Asian adventure for 2 will also be announced during an event in September.

So, as Aga sets off to leave for his unknown destination, get ready to start guessing and join the mobile and online craze that will surely test your mind on where he has gone to. Joining is easy and the actual guessing game makes it all the more fun.
