Online Contest: Winner of Havaianas Limited Edition Leisure Towel

After having trimmed down the entries to 5, I asked my friends (Jeric, Kimberly, Blanch and Christa) to pick their top answer. After voting from the shortlisted 5, including my own vote, the winner who emerged from the 45 entries of the Online Contest - Havaianas Limited Edition Leisure Towel last December is:





Congratulations! I'll contact you on how you may claim your prize.



On other news, I just wish that there were more towels to give out, because if I did, I would also give one to him. This was the answer which emerged next to Fran's. This personally caught my attention because back when I was still small I used to do this with my brother.. Haha!

Online Contest: Win a Havaianas Limited Edition Leisure Towel

Havaianas together with GeiserMaclang and The Philippines and Beyond will be giving away a Havaianas Limited Edition Leisure Towel to one lucky reader!



You just have to answer this question in the comments section below: WHAT IS YOUR MOST CREATIVE WAY OF USING A TOWEL? Please leave your name and e-mail address with your answer. It's that simple! This contest will run until January 9, 2009 :)



To every towel there is a purpose.



Some are meant to be kept demurely folded in guest bathrooms; some are used by martial artists for self-defense; but others—those cut from heartier stock—are the kind you want to have on your back as you jet set through the holidays.



In fact, if pop culture’s most reliable handbook for space travel, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” is anything to go by when it referred to the towel as “the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have”, it’s the best Christmas present you could possibly give this season. And while only a few will be given the chance to go on an intergalactic journey, this doesn’t mean it still won’t be a welcome addition to anyone’s holiday gear.



This is why you should check out the latest addition to Havaianas’ arsenal of travel essentials: the Havaianas Leisure Towels that mirror the versatility and convenience of the world-famous favorite flip-flops brand.



Snap up the special edition, travel must-have for yourself or give them away as gifts and get creative. The jazzy towels are made of plush and absorbent terrycloth that makes it the ideal seaside companion as you stretch across the scorching sand; or share the comfort of 100% cotton as you leisurely enjoy a sunny picnic. Plus, at 3.28feet x 4.92feet, it’s something big enough to stretch out on, but easy enough to tote around and zip up in your carry-all with ease.



So the next time you hit the surf or the road, leave the monogrammed bath sheet at home and travel right with the versatile and made-to-last Havaianas Leisure Towels.



The Havaianas Leisure Towels are available starting December only in all All Flip-Flops branches – Bonifacio High Street, Glorietta 3, Mall of Asia, Alabang Town Center, RP Ermita, TriNoma, Greenbelt 5, Session Road Baguio, Robinsons StarMills Pampanga, SM City Batangas, SM City Iloilo, SM City Cebu, SM City Davao, SM City Cagayan de Oro

Havaianas Playback Event at The Fort

A few weeks back, I brought my whole family to Havaianas' Playback event. They literally turned part of the Bonifacio High Street grass-grounds into a whole big playground both for kids and adults with retro Pinoy games such as Piko, Patintero, Tumbang-Preso, Sipa, and a lot more.

"Before CDs, cellphones, digital media players and the internet were invented (edit: PS3, Wii, and other gaming consoles), you were the undisputed master of Tumbang Preso, Piko and Patintero" Havaianas let everyone experience "the nostalgia of your old-school glory," and this time, with the kids.

It's so funny seeing my mom and dad be like a kid again and played through almost every game there was. :)

There were even foreigners trying out these classic Pinoy games. Fun!!

What I enjoyed the most was playing Sungka with Tiffy. I really wanted to bring home the sungka board after -- sadly we cannot. Oh, and I am a little better at this than Tiffy. Rematch? ;)

They ended (or at least, partially) with drummer boys and intruments making tribal sounds. That was awesome! I do hope Havaianas will have a repeat of this great event. To Pinoy games and sheer fun and excitement.
