Jollibee Promo extended til April 30

Good news to Chickenjoy lovers! You can still get a chance to join the summer promo of Jollibee.

 Jollibee's Facebook announcement as of March 31.

"Chickenjoy - Resorts World Sentosa Summer Made of Joy promo has been extended until April 30, 2016. A total of 30 families can now get a chance to win all-expense paid summer getaways to Resorts World Sentosa Singapore!

Here’s how: Earn a raffle coupon when you buy Chickenjoy thru dine-in, take-out, drive thru, delivery, party and bulk orders. After filling out your coupons, drop them in designated boxes found in all Jollibee stores nationwide. For more details, visit any Jollibee store near you."


Actually I got to know this promo just last night when I ate with my mom. I noticed a promo box at the right side of the counter before we stepped out.


 The crew didn't tell me that I have one coupon for the raffle. I searched the raffle over the internet and found out that it is indicated in the receipt that I am entitled to one coupon. I also read comments over the facebook promo page that there are also customers that were not able to drop their coupons because they were not informed of the raffle promo. Anyway it is good that Jollibee decided to extend it.

I showed the branch manager my receipt and he gave to me one coupon. He told me it is the last coupon and it is the last day of the promo. Maybe he was not informed that it was extended. hehe


So for those who have kept their receipt/s now is your chance to get coupon/s and have the chance to go to Singapore for a vacation.

Free Bobbi Brown Make up manual

Would it be nice if one of your favorite make up lines directly gives you tips on how to use their products? or even just be oriented with the basics in make up?

Well it's nice that Bobbi Brown has a manual.



All pages are colored and are very informative. The photos are also in high quality. This manual will not only give you a description of the make up tools and teach you techniques but also the importance of taking care of your health (skin, face, etc). Click here to download the pdf version.

Free Sample from Pond's

I was scrolling my Facebook feed when a sponsored ad by Pond's Philippines facebook indicated a free sample. I checked out their FB. To my delight after I filled out the electronic form the screen showed that the sample is on the way. yehey! I will be expecting it within 90 days. I was quite nervous it would show "due to many demands, we ran out of samples".



I read their previous posts and felt regretful not to see their previous sales. Last February 26-28 and March 4-6 the P299 worth BB cream was on sale for P149 only at Watson's and SM department stores. Last Feb 5 there was a chance to get free sample of Pond's Acne Clear White Facial Wash. The BB Creams prices were marked down from Feb 5-7 and Feb 12-14 at Watson's! (Pond's Flawless White BB Creams - P100 off and Pond's Age Miracle BB Creams - P200 off). Gosh maybe I should look from time to time the promos posted in their FB. I'll be looking forward to their next posts.

Robinsons VIP Card

I recently exchanged my Robinsons Privilege card (red) to a VIP card (gold) for free. If you have no Privilege card before then collect your Robinsons Supermarket or Department store receipts with a minimum of P3000 (by accumulation dated from March 1, 2016) and go to a VIP card booth inside Robinsons malls. Claiming epriod is from March 1, 2016 to March 1, 2017.

Honestly I was able to use the Privilege card once but I hope with the new discounts and perks of VIP card I will get to use it more often.




Check their Robinsons VIP card website . Click here to download the perks list and manual.

Moorim School (Drama) - review




I recently finished watching a Korean drama entitled Moorim School. My reason for watching is because one of the main characters is Hongbin. Hongbin is part of the Korean male group VIXX.

Thanks to the internet even if we do not have cable TV I can still search for the episodes online. Many thanks also to the people who are making the English subtitles and uploading them.

My favorite scenes were always when Wang Chi Ang and Yoon Shi Woo are proving their friendship especially when they were in the forest trying to reach the peak (episode 4) and when Shi Woo will give the last piece of the key to Chi Ang (episode 16). Hmm. bromance cooking? I love their friendship and brotherhood.






It also helps that the character of Yoon Shi Woo is a singer because it somehow reflects who they are in real life. Fans can relate and somehow see themselves in the first few episodes of how they felt and what they do during concerts, seeing artist on the streets, etc. Honestly the scenes when the CEO does ways to get rid of Shi Woo I told myself there maybe there is a reality on that- controversies, issues, set ups.. Plus it is true that some people can use others just to gain money.




I can sometimes relate to the character of Yoon Shi Woo because sometimes I also hear a wuite long high pitch sound inside one of my ears. Also there are times I sell stuff outside concerts like what Shim Seon Dok did in episode 1. I also got reminded of one of my PE classes during college which is Arnis (Filipino stick martial arts).

I also like the acting of Lee Bum Soo. ahehehe I also watch The Return of Superman and his family is new on the show. I saw different sides of him (as an actor and as a dad).


As Chairman Wang in the drama

As dad in The Return of Superman
What is also very real about the drama is the relationship between Chi Ang and his father. I think it is natural for children to do things to get the attention of their parents or make their parents proud. Well people want to be assured of their identity and position.

There are also realities in life like there are greedy people, people who wants power, there are struggles in maintaining friendships, misunderstanding, own motives, etc. At first I thought the Juk Poong was the dean then the story builds up and I assume the Juk Poong is Chairman Wang Hao. At the 2 episodes the true members of the Juk Poong were revealed.

There is a statement at the end of the episode that I really like.


You really need positive things so that you can be on the right mindset again and can be whole again. There are a lot of painful and negative things so we need positive ones like love, trust and peace.

The drama also tackles on finding our priorities- relationships or power.  From episode 1-16 I felt there was a rollercoaster of emotions like excitement, sadness, suspense, fear, inlove moments (kilig factor), adoration times of how good looking the actors are. I cried in Episodes 14-16. In episode 15, I found myself crying then next scene I found myself stunned on Hongbin's looks. Oh please don't play with fans' emotions. ahehehe

There are scenes that I also don't like Episode 14 when Shi Woo and Chi Ang seem to beat up each other and during the Moorim Competition when Yeob Jung was against his brother.

Over all I really like the drama. Special mention to Alex of U Kiss who played like a villain. His acting was effective because sometime I want my hand to enter the screen and put him out of the scenes.

Alex as Yeob Jung

I hope more drama or movies will be offered to these actors and actresses. It was a great drama. applause!! ^_^

I love the OST's specially Run by Haesong, The King by VIXX, Alive by VIXX, and 그댈보면 by Ken (VIXX) .

And to end this short blog/review I made these:


Hongbin asking who is starlights' bias.
