500 Peso Deals – Free iPad 2 raffle
What more has Noy-Ni got for the Noy-Pi? Plenty, if you sign in to get updates from 500PesoDeals.com, which starts boosting your bucks May 13!
Can one Ninoy bill actually get boosted to twice its value or more? And can the same deal possibly score you a sweet iPad 2 – yes, the same gadget that got sold out all over the world on the day after its release? Oh, yes it can. All these and more are what savvy Pinoy shoppers can look forward to with 500PesoDeals.com.
Unlike other group-buying sites, though, with 500PesoDeals, what you see is what you get. A single P500 – no more and no less - can buy you entry into the hottest events and parties, a meal at the best restaurants, and a seat at the coolest experiences all over the country. And for those who have premium budgets in mind, check out our Super Booster deals – huge savings on very high-ticket items with up to 80% off! But make sure to get the deal early – Super Booster Deals have limited quantities!
500PesoDeals makes it easy for you to keep up with all these deals by giving you a chance to win your very own iPad if you register today. Boost your chances of winning by getting your friends in the game. Each friend who registers gets you one entry in the raffle, and there are no limits to how many entries you can earn!
So do you think you and your friends are worthy of such awesomeness? Sign in now, invite your pals, and wait for the deals – and, possibly, that iPad 2 that totally has your name on it – to come rolling in.

What's Your Story?
Local clothing label BUM EQUIPMENT encourages the youth to step forward and be heard
Whether you're the wallflower type who just quietly sits in the corner and watches the world pass by, or the angst-ridden rebel who always feels the need to challenge the norm and practice independence, you've got an interesting story to tell.
The same idea is behind Bum Equipment's latest project called My Story. Highlighting creativity and individuality, My Story is an ingenious contest hatched by the guys behind the local clothing brand to answer the youth's urge to establish their identities and be heard by the world. It's especially designed to those who express their sentiments, inner thoughts, and repressed emotions through clothes and personal style.
Open to boys and girls 13 years old and above. My Story encourages the youth to express their passion, angst or opinion about the who they are,their realities, through fashion and photography.
In 300 words or less, contestants must write a short story about how Bum and their love for dressing up have influenced their "realities." They can submit as many entries as they want, provided that each of their story is supported by a photograph of them wearing pieces from Bum's "My Story" collection. However, they can only wear specific pieces for one photograph, so it means that every entry must have a different set of clothes.
Cool prizes awaits the lucky winners. The one who can come up with the most creative story with great photos will take a home a 16 GB Apple iPad 2. Two second prize winners will receive Samsung ES65 Compact Cameras. Apple iPod Shuffle units will be given away to five semi-finalists.
So if you're up for the challenge, whip out your cameras, don your statement BUM pieces and show the world what you've got.
To see more of Bum's My Story collection, visit BUM boutiques and any leading department stores and look for pieces with the "My Story" swing tags. To know more about the contest, visit www.bumequipment.com.ph.
