"Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood?
The people that you meet each day"

Remember this song? Well if your a kid growing in the 80's, you can easily sing along with this tune. If not, you can ask someone 10 years older than you to teach you this kiddie rhyme.

Neighbors, to many people, can be considered a family living in the house next door. Some have been part of our lives while others maybe a little annoying sometimes but you can't deny the fact that life will never be the same without them.

Now here's a great idea from The Philippine Star and Robinsons: How would you like to win a P10,000 shopping spree for your neighbors this Christmas. Sounds interesting?  Just follow the bouncing ball, err... the simple instructions and you might have a merry holiday celebration in the neighborhood in a few weeks time.

Win a P20,000 Shopping Spree with Solenn Heusaff

I've been a fan of Solenn Heusaff ever since I saw her in a reality TV show.

Well, how can a man resists getting attracted to a smart, good-looking, sexy and multi-talented like her?

Actually, I just found the answer just now as my wife passed by and read this post. It's so easy to resists looking at other girls when the most beautiful girl in the world (that's my wife) grins in front of you while holding a broom stick.

It just hit me! No, I'm not talking about the broom stick. My wife and Soleen have something in common: they both uses Asian Secret's beauty products. And the good news is, there's a chance that I can meet, errr... she can meet Soleen and spend a day for a P20,000-worth of shopping spree with her.

Here's the current promo of Asian Secrets:

1.  Buy Asian Secrets’ product either Lulur Body Scrub or Bengkoang Body Soap and keep the receipt.

2.  Take a picture of yourself with the Asian Secrets product purchased.

3.  Like Asian Secrets on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

4.  Upload the photo on Asian Secrets Facebook wall or on Twitter page.

5.  Include with your photo a caption saying why you love Asian Secrets and hashtag #ShoppingSecretswithSolenn.  Include also the receipt number and your full name.

6.  Contest open until November 15, 2012.  Visit Asian Secrets Facebook page for more details.

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.
