my eight winners for my super blog giveaway with a twist!


as promised, i personally read each of the more than one thousand entries one by one, approved it one by one, and was touched by every single one. THANK YOU.

you know how in contests the script usually requires the host to say, "i would hate to be the judge right now because everyone deserves to be called a winner," or something like that?! usually everybody can see who the obvious winner is, but for this one, it literally took weeks and weeks, too many cups of coffee, and so many migraines before i finally decided on my eight winners. very tedious work, but all worth it! THANK YOU.

your stories answering the giveaway twist, sharing why you chose this certain special person in your life to give the item to brought me to tears way too many times. your stories are so powerful. THANK YOU.

as promised, on this day, i shall reveal the names of the eight winners!



1. rea alducente, 22, product trainer from cebu

2. koleen branzuela, 23, student from general santos, @kxiaooo

3. eva cabanday, 22, student from abra, @iamevaprett

4. cristina danila, 32, data analyst from makati

5. roselle anire, 20, student from manila, @r0selle

7. mary kaylene grecia, 17, student from rizal

8. madon padilla, 22, student from makati, @madypad

Thank you Ms. Bianca for this wonderful gift. My Ate Lanie or little bro Nelson would be so delighted to hear about this. I was not really expecting to win because there are like tons of entry which I've also read and some are really moving and I feel like they're all deserving. Going back to what I've submitted,it still touches my heart knowing that I've won something out of what I've experience with them and someday, as I mentioned - I am hoping from the bottom of my heart that I could really give it back to them BIG TIME.

Maraming Salamat and Please keep on inspiring people like me that we may live to see the day that maybe, someday - everything will be in order and its right place.

Regards,
(^_^)

CONGRATS to the 8 winners! :)
You guys should thank God for His plan on this, thru Miss Bianca, herself, as instrument of this blessing.

though hindi ako nanalo, I know, somehow, these people out there deserves it more than I am. :)

SO MUCH HAPPY TO BE PART OF THIS EXTRAVAGANT GIVEAWAY. :)

One day, gusto kong maging katulad mo Ate Bianca. Helping those who are in need. Hindi dahil mayaman o may kaya ang mga katulad natin, pero dahil.. gusto rin nating ibahagi kung ano at hanggang saan ang ating makakayang ibigay.
From the bottom of my happy heart, YOU ROCK, ALWAYS! :)

God Bless us all! :)

Rea Alducente said...

Wow! Thanks so much Super Bianca!! I'm super touched to be one of the winners. And teary-eyed when my friend texted me that I won (so I immediately went home to check the net). This will really be a perfect gift for either my husband or my mom. It seemed surreal that out of how many entries, my entry was chosen. Very heartwarming. Again, thank you so much! :)

--by the way, i have the same email address but i changed my twitter id to realovealreiko..

much love,
rea

hi bianca,

i would like first to congratulate all the winners, you guys are all so lucky, and I envy you. hahaha.. tatanggalin ko na ang hiya ko but since the day I have read all your posts in your blog I have been looking for the book of angelina jolie 'notes from my travels' here in tacloban but I haven't found any. if this would be ok with you I would like to ask the book. (haha- kapal)but if it is not, that's very fine with me. but if it is, pls send it with your autograph. (humirit pa-kapal talaga)

good luck to you and God bless!
