Philippine Freebies, Promos, Contests and MORE!

http://boy-kuripot.blogspot.com/
This is (boy-kuripot's ) blogspot. He posts information about freebies, promos, and contests that he's collected over the web, found in advertisements etc.

There are some promos you've seen already, but what makes this site interesting are the one's you never knew existed.

It's no harm to try, and as he has proven, you can win in these things by actually joining. :) Think about it, when you say, "sana manalo ako sa lotto", tumataya ka ba? :P

I've done some contest-hunting myself (see my posts of mostly designing contests), but this guy has packed a lot more interesting things to join. You can also check out his multiply site. He's also a bit of a businessman with some unique items.

from 100% Grape to 100% t-shirt design competition

my first Artwork shirt was a purple tee that read: 100% Grape. i bought it at the Landmark once upon a high school in the days that Artwork had no outlets and their shirts were a lot thicker. it was Artwork who brought the statement into the statement shirts of today. since then a lot of start up ventures for uniquely designed t-shirts have come out. a lot of them you can find here in multiply.

its only recently that i've found out that they're having a shirt design contest. i'm gonna try my luck with this one *crosses fingers*. apparently its been going on for two years now. i know a lot of you like designing shirts or have your own crazy shirt concepts in mind. there's a P80 registration fee though, but there's really nothing to lose. :)

supreme concern for the environment may call on your lucky stars

i would join if i was an enrolled student. but like alot of opportunities i've passed because i'm not an enrolled student anymore..., i should probably just tell those who can join about it.

found this in the paper last sunday. apparantly i've discovered that the sunday edition of the Philippine Star has alot of these contests lying around in its pages. although i prefer the jobs section of the Philippine Inquirer, i'm not exactly actively gonna be looking for a job till october, so i guess its ok.

versions of me

like i said, i have a new mission in life of sorts, or maybe you could call it a new collecting hobby. i'm collecting versions of me by different artists. :) you can contribute if you like, i'd be glad to receive your drawings :D

background story: in fourth year high school, troika, keithly gave around these forms that we filled out. it included this space for a self-portrait. and because yours truly has no talent at drawing, she drew a figure that resembles the first image in this series.
it's been my trademark since...

great day! :)

I'm having a great day today for alot of reasons... (some of which i dont exactly need to enumerate ) including this rockin' cartoon illustration of myself by Manix Abrera, author of Kiko Machine (the comic)!

this illustration is very kiko machine :) heheh. rak en rol! he drew this on cyrus' copy of Die! Die Evil! Die!

I'm beaming with happiness right now. Something I haven't felt in a really long time. Thanks to everyone who made my day (including Mr. Abrera). And because of that illustration, I have a new "mission in life" (of sorts): to collect drawing versions of myself. I have two at home drawn by my artist friends, which I'll post soon hopefully and my headshot.
