UPDATED ON MECHANICS: HOLIDAY GADGET SWARM WEEK IV: Samsung Galaxy 5 Contest

UPDATE: After deliberation and popular request, we’re now opening the contest to a nationwide audience, instead of just Metro Manila.

I’d like to thank Samsung for their generosity in extending their sponsorship. When I approached them many weeks ago they agreed to cover the prize for one week. Because they love you all, they asked if they could sponsor a second week. Luckily I was going to break the contest into two waves — the next one starting next year. Oh well! More prizes! =)

As for last week’s contest I will announce it sometime this week. Dami kasi.

Affordable Galaxy 5 is affordable! Even if you don’t win this week’s contest, the Samsung Galaxy 5 makes for a worthy choice to spend your Christmas bonus on. It’s just slightly above PHP 10,000.00! You get a robust v2.1 operating system and an affordable phone from a brand you can trust.

CONTEST TIME!

It’s the Korean invasion and Samsung was ahead of it all! Before KPOP. Before Station 168. Before Starcraft. For this week’s contest I am giving more importance to creativity than to confining you to rules. I want you to:

1. Submit something. Anything. But it has to exemplify how the Korean influence has invaded your life. It can be an essay, a photo, a video. Anything. Just put the link in the comments section. Remember, TURNING KOREAN. Leave it in the comments section. It’s the usual drill.

2. Remember, the more bibo, the better. So yeah, dapat talaga kinarir.

3. Contest starts now till Saturday, 18th of December 11:59PM. This contest is open to people within Metro Manila only nationwide! This is not a raffle. It is a talent show. You can submit as many entries as you want.

N.B. Joining this week’s contest allows Samsung to add your info to their database for upcoming promos and announcements for 2011.

hi! re: exemplify how the Korean influence has invaded your life
only original contents or those that you own, right? not pure links? like if picture/video entry, one you took yourself or starring yourself?
thanks!!!

I think those who will participate here are still busy capturing, shooting, editing and blogging their entries. 🙂

Ang dalang ng entries. Looks like this contest is the least popular as compared to the first three. Medyo mahirap kasi. Ako nga nakiusap lang sa daughter ko na kukunan ko yung mga posters nya inside her room. I just want to have a submission. Nagworrry kasi ako dun sa “N.B. Joining this week’s contest allows Samsung to add your info to their database for upcoming promos and announcements for 2011.”

Here’s my entry: TURNING2KOREAN.TUMBLR.COM
It’s password-protected, exclusively for ABUGGEDLIFE’s readers. Password is: abuggedlife

Goodluck to all.

Walang kawala kay lola ang lahat ng mga ito. Hindi siya puwedeng mawalan o maagawan ng upuan sa harap ng TV (TV5) kung maagawan siya, sisigaw siya ng “Hoy! aKOREAN”.

I am practically aware of your latest entry about the recent turn out of events. I hope it doesn’t stop this contest though 😐

TOTAL MESS ang SAMSUNG SHARK CONTEST MO! cguro inangkin mo na yung laptop ano? aminin? haha. PAASA KA EH! pipili na nga lang ng winner yung past deadline pa! anu ba? mag-isip ka nga. UNFAIR!
