Three days, one mission. Manila Ocean Park dares you to prove the true intention of your heart and the strength of your mind as they put you in a 3 day straight challenge for an opportunity to win a brand new 'NISSAN SENTRA 1.3 STD!

           - that is, if you rise from the rest as The Last Man Standing.

Manila Ocean Park, the newest favorite destination spot in town, opens its doors to car owners, enthusiasts and hobbyists on April 29, 30 and May 1 as they start up your engines this summer with their biggest car event: REV, DRIFT & DRIVE.  


They say you must work up through the low ones before you can reach high gear in your car, but with the Drive on Stick Exhibition on the front row of MOP's activity list, it sure will set the pace for the first day. So fasten your seat belts and prepare to be swept away as the temperature rises in preparation for the car show and collection display which will showcase a wide array collection of classic cars to the most modern designs. 


And in the spirit of generosity, Manila Ocean Park in cooperation with Nissan Motor Phils., Inc., will give a brand new Nissan Sentra 1.3 GX STD to the winner who will withstand the challenge of The Last Man Standing.

With the use of your thumb you will be in one with your dream car for 3 days straight. Can you be the last man standing?

On its second run, April 30, the Quirino Grandstand, located in Luneta, will transform into a place you've never imagined possible as MOP hosts the lateral drifting activity and creates a drive-in movie house where all 4 films of the acclaimed movie series: The Fast & The Furious will be shown. There will be a fee, however, to cover for your snacks and drinks which will be served by none other than the sizzling Repsol Babes. But what's a car event without those sexy car-wash girls? Don't fret because a bikini fashion will be held on the same day that will sure set the stage of Quirino Grandstand on fire!


In addition, Manila Ocean Park is proud to feature the bumper to bumper exhibit where surprise celebrity guests will reveal them selves gradually to the make show roaring with excitement!


And on its last stretch, May 1, MOP gives back to their loyal customers with their free motor oil and free wash weekend which will be available at the north/south park. But the highlight of the event, for me, would be the announcement of the survivor of The Last Man Standing which will be celebrated in Liquid bar as a victory party.


Now summer has never been this fun....and hot! And if you feel you have what it takes to be The Last Man Standing, please click this link: http://www.manilaoceanpark.com/ and download the form to be qualified.

Online Contest: I won a hotrod iron hair straightening from Groupon!

Winning is good. Its fun, and it can actually make you feel that, for a short while, everything in this world is possible. A bad day could be totally reversed by something as positive as a win.

Joining an online contest, for some people, might sound fishy. I'm betting that at some point of our lives, our computer got infected with an internet virus which probably is the main cause why, nowadays, we are extra cautious on what website to visit and what online contest to join.

When I first heard about Groupon, I already decided for myself that it was just one of those websites which is nothing but a big scam. I've never heard of something as crazy as a website giving major discounts on a variety of products. And so I made a mental note not to believe in any ads related to them or to any website with the same trick. But, as if to prove me wrong, one day my sister suddenly came up to me and announce that there is an online contest which gives out a hair iron rod for free. At first I was skeptical about it. But then it was my sister who invited me, and I know for a fact that she has been joining a lot of online contest, and if there is someone who's knowledgeable and cautious about these things, it would definitely be her.


So I followed her instructions on liking Groupon in Facebook and uploading a picture in their page where my hair looks frizzy. After I officially posted my entry, I set up my mind not to expect anything. After all, I just joined something that I never knew exist, let alone see it in the TV.

A few days passed and one early morning, my sister's friend called and confirmed that all three of us won the iron rod item! I pretended not to care so much 'coz I was still resisting if the contest is indeed true. But then I received an email from Groupon congratulating me for winning their contest and gave me instructions on how to claim my prize and a online certificate which I need to print and present to Straight and Smooth Salon in Makati.

And so the three of us, my sister, our friend and I, set a date to claim our iron rod. However, much to our surprise, it was quite difficult to locate Straight and Smooth than we had expected. Frankly, we are not too familiar with the streets of Makati. But we knew there must be some kind of a jeep or bus that will bring us to our destination. And so we wandered for a few minutes and finally decided to ask for directions.

We wanted to get a cab but it was a rush hour and every taxi that passed us by had a passenger in it. In the end, we walked what felt like miles away to reach Smooth Hair Salon. We were SO late from the expected time for winners to claim their prizes. In fact, Straight and Smooth Salon was minutes away from closing. But we still managed to get our freaking iron rod and had our pictures taken with the staff and the salon (A MUST BTW).

We may have won a free iron rod but, in a way, we somehow paid for it by walking which felt like really forever. The only relief we got was the hospitality the staff of Straight and Smooth Salon showed us. Despite our weary bodies and aching feet, they still made us feel like real winners.

So if any of my friends ask if Groupon's online contest are indeed true, oh you damn bet it is!
