Mother’s Day 2014 Promo and Contests

Mother’s Day 2014 falls on May 11, second Sunday of May. For those of you are not aware, Mother’s Day is always 2nd Sunday of May while Father’s Day is third Sunday of June. It was Anna Jarvis who rallied for second Sunday of May to be a recognized holiday. It was a move to honor her mom who founded the Mothers’ Day Work Clubs (a club which brought local mothers together to promote cleanliness and sanitation in their community). Why Mother’s Day falls on second Sunday of May? Ann Jarvis chose this second Sunday of May because it is the anniversary of her Mother’s Day. The first celebration of Mother’s Day was held at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church, known now as International Mother’s Day Shrine.

Although most countries celebrate Mother’s Day on second Sunday of May, in some the date of Mother’s Day is different. For example in Indonesia, Mother’s Day is celebrated nationally 22nd of December. In Thailand, Mother’s Day is August 12 (birthday of Queen Sirikit). In Spain, Mother’s Day is first Sunday of Monday.

Whatever the date is, may it be on May or not, one thing’s for sure, Mother’s Day is a widely celebrated occasion. And here in the Philippines, Mother’s Day is a big occasion. In fact, it’s too commercialized and most (if not all) establishments have their own Mother’s Day Promo. Actually, I also have an upcoming Mother’s Day giveaway!

Here are some Mother’s Day promo and contest this year:

My #SarapNgSuccess Story: From A Failed Comm 2 Student To A Blogger

When we say success, I am tempted to say, I have 4 trophies..real live trophies aka my kids haha. Don’t we all consider raising kids a success story? It’s not an easy job di ba? Pero marami rami pang bigas ang isasaing ko bago ko masabi na succesful talaga ang pagiging mudra ko 🙂 So let’s talk about another success story in my life (err no, not when my prospect boyfriend said yes to me or when I finally convinced him to marry me haha), blogging ano pa!

Alam nyo ba na take 2 ako sa Communication 2? At tres lang ako sa Communication 1? Writing is my least favorite subject, oh let me rephrase that, I HATE writing! It’s the other way around, I think. Writing hates me. I am not good on it. I had a hard time writing an essay (kaya bagsak sa Comm 2 which is more on writing). And yet, I am now a blogger. Paano nangyari ‘yon?

My “writing” career started when a friend of a friend from Multiply posted about earning online through a forum site. It’s as simple as you post a question/ story or answer/ comment on other users’ post and you earn money. The earnings, is of course, dependent on how much or how long your post it. Being a first timer and knows nothing about earning online, I thought that was a good deal. Syempre to make my post longer, I need to know how to make kwento, long story. So I read a lot of how to’s in writing and from there I learned how to express myself more. I don’t consider myself a writer naman (marami pa akong typo errors at grammar na i co correct before ko ma achieve ang ganyang level) but I think overtime, my way of communicating improved a lot. Give me that Comm 1 and Comm 2 courses now, baka ma uno ko yan! woohoo

That friend of a friend who referred me to the forum site eventually became my friend (and my kumare!). She told me about blogging and guide me on ins and outs of html, template, blog posting etc. She said we can earn more through blogging and true enough, our cents from the forum instantly became a dollar through blogging! I won’t dwell on the success of my online earnings, yes it is a success story, but there is so much more about blogging that is worth sharing:

Success story number 1. Finding friends and kumares. Most of Sati’s ninang are bloggers. And not only that, Pinoy bloggers from different countries. Ang galing no?

Success story number 2. Information Sharing. I realized later on that my passion is sharing information, specially to mommies like me. I consider it a success story because of the comments I received. I am at heaven when my readers shares with me how my blog post helped them.

Success story number 3. Blog Award . What is a success without an award? Joke lang no.. pero it’s a big deal for me. To be recognized as the best in something that you love doing is such a great experience. Proud ko lang? The award was 5 years ago pero naka display pa rin sa sidebar ko :)

Success story number 4. Writing about products I love and collaborating with them, the highlight, me being a commercial model for a product I love using!

Mommy Pehpot as a commercial model, 2012

I think this is one of the things I enjoy most about blogging. Say for example, Max’s Restaurant, we love dinning at Max’s and to be able to write about their new products, get invited to their event is a success story for me.

And speaking of Max’s Restaurant, Watch Coco Martin’s 2nd TVC and know more about his max-sarap na kwento ng success. Be inspired with how he was able to rise up to life’s challenges and become one of the most loved stars of today. Like Coco, Max’s success is rooted from traditions, values and relationships. Dito sa Max’s, kaisa mo kami sa pag abot ng iyong pinakamasarap na pangarap! #SarapNgSuccess
