The En Route Starbucks GC Giveaway 2012

Categories: Anything Goes;

THE CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. WINNERS HAVE BEEN DRAWN HERE

After close to three weeks of inactivity, some movement now in En Route! Please pardon the hiatus as pre and post wedding activities do take oodles of time and logistical skills. But lots of adventures did come up in some mini road trip the past week. Tune in for that.

One of the gimmiks during the wedding reception was to replicate the ever popular Quiz Night of 121 Grille. But instead of giving away free booze, the prizes were some gift certificates. Starbucks gift certificates that is. It rewarded pretty much the diligent reader of the site (or those who pretty much had nothing to do with their time).

Questions about stuff that appeared in some selected posts came out, such as the following:

Dumaguete – City of Gentle People
Blind Pig Speakeasy in Makati
Pino Restobar in Maginhawa St. area Quezon City and the consumption of margarita bowls good for 4
Star studded evening (thanks to a blow in the head with a camera) at Antonio’s Tagaytay
Surf’s up in La Union

These were just a few of the topics, and to those who attended the wedding and are reading this, thank you for joining (and eating all the food. Hope you guys had a great time!)

So prizes were given. And guess what? There’s a few left! There are currently three envelopes of Starbucks Philippines Gift Certificates worth PHP 1,000.00 each, and it’s up for grabs. Oh, and they don’t expire.

With that, we will be drawing three (3) winners who will each win PHP 1,000.00 worth of gift certificates from Starbucks Philippines.

Why are we doing this?

Just to share our joy. We could have just used it all up to keep us awake for a good few weeks, but what better way to spread the love than sharing the caffeine.
