Last Saturday October 16, 2010, ChiQ, texted me to go to Limketkai Center for Sanuk Sandcastle Competition. It was really an 11th hour invitation, so I packed my things up and ride on a taxi to the mall.

When I got there, wow! I couldn’t take my eyes out from those sand castles. I can say those are spectacular pieces of art. 8 entries from 8 different groups from Cagayan de Oro City and nearby places showed their gifts, abilities and capacities to awe the people with their craftsmanship of creating magnificent structures made of sands.

The participants are the following groups with their respective colors:

Dark Green Team – Sand Nuke
Orange team – Adcashemanic
Red Team- Noah
Yellow Team – Champoppers
Lightblue Team – Tagaca
Dark Blue – Smileys
Beige Team – Fungee
Lightgreen – Debuho Fliganon

Each group has been given 5 hours to build their piece considering the following criteria – Architecture, Creativity, SANUK Logo Inclusion and Overall Impact. All groups have given their best to create the paramount structure and the results are awesome and that made them all winners. But only one comes out as ultimate winner or champion and Orange Team the Adcashemanic got the top place, next is Light Green Team– Debuho Fliganon as 1st runner up and 2nd runner up is Dark Green Team – Sand Nuke. Each winner received PhP.20,000, PhP.14,000 and PhP.10,000 respectively.

Thanks Sanuk for your invitation, now I know how cool Sanuk sandals are. Before I thought it’s a shoes, but now I know it is a sandal. I am just sad that there are people wearing it as shoes in places where it shouldn’t be wear at all. That is why my conception of Sanuk before is WTF! It is because some people don’t know when and where to use it. Just don’t use it as shoes and you’ll look great with it.

Just remember, when you say SANUK – These are not shoes, they’re sandals!

Smile! And pass it on… OXOX

Note: I never used my SMARTBro Plugit Plan for texting and never used it as my contact number to fill-up application forms etc, so how could they get that number? Nangangalkal na naman sila ng numbers sa SMART COMMUNICATIONS. I should make a complain about this at SMART Office, how could a number being distributed if these vultures didn’t get it by random.

UPDATE:

Here’s the ABS-CBN’s XXX episode with under cover video about the PPLIC - Philippine Prudential Life Insurance Co., Inc. Modus Operandi at the malls.

What was being told and shown on this video was perfectly the same scenario to what I have experienced with the PPLIC here in Cagayan de Oro, particularly in Limketkai Mall. So be very careful with this people.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Are you familiar of those people at the mall wearing formal wear (Long sleeves with necktie, slacks pants black shoes for men, and blouse and skirts or slacks for ladies)? They usually annoyingly approach you with a smile and jolly face asking if you already have credit cards and when you say yes, they will say they have this promo that could make you a winner of a Brand New Honda City or Cash with the amount of 888,888.00 pesos or even a 10,000 USD and a trip for two to Macau. You can avail the promo for free and they won’t even let you spend a single centavo. I have been asked for the nth time by those people everytime I went to the mall and I usually said no before they could finished their first opening lines.

This afternoon, I went to Limketkai Mall out of boredom from working online at home. So, to unwind myself I just went there to relax, unwind, eat or drink coffee or whatever, I even texted few of my friends and asked them if they are also at the mall so I can join them. While I was criss-crossing at the mall from one shop to another there’s this guy approached me and asked if I have a credit card, but since I was alone and have nothing much to do during that time, I entertained him and said yes but I am not interested. Suddenly, he held me on my arm and talk a lot and since I wasn’t doing anything or I am not really in a hurry, I tried not to be so rude so I listened and the last thing I know I am already laughing with them and I don’t know why they already have my full attention. Its sales talk I think.

So here’s what happened, Continue reading →
