Do you look like an Emoticon? You might win an iPhone 5c or iPad mini

Do you think you have a face that can give Smiley and other emoticons a run for their money?

Well, you have to download the KakaoTalk app first and go in front of the mirror if you resemble any of the cute and amusing characters. If you see yourself as one cartoonish looking guy or gal, abay karirin mo na 'to para magka-iPad o iPhone ka, dear! :)

The increasingly popular messaging app KakaoTalk invites users to become lucky winners of iPhone 5c or iPad Mini through a fun, easy Facebook competition.

Users need to simply ‘like’ the KakaoTalk Philippines Facebook page, choose a KakaoFriends sticker, take a look-alike picture and post it up on their page with #KakaoTalkPH and #KakaoLookAlike hash tags.

The competition continues for two months until April 30th, and a total of 16 winners will be selected for the prizes, with two winners being announced at each week.

KakaoFriends are characters that are exclusively available on KakaoTalk as stickers and animated emoticons. The seven characters—Apeach the peach, Muji the yellow radish in rabbit costume, Con the mysterious crocodile, Frodo the chic dog, Neo the confident cat, JayG the shy mole, and Tube the two-faced duck—with their distinctive personalities and a myriad of emotions characters add fun and joy to users chatting experience. In particular, the animated emoticons of these characters add the ability to express deeper emotions that can’t be easily conveyed in words.

Kakao said, “KakaoFriends emoticons offer a way to express emotions that can’t easily be expressed in words. We hope this contest will help familiarize our users with the hundreds of emotions that our

KakaoFriends characters represent, and eventually be able to enjoy a fuller and more exciting chatting experience.”
