We’ve finally selected the winners of our first leg of contest for the #ExploreBeautiful #ExploreWorldwide series with Acer. Check out the list below if you’re one of them.

Our winners will get an Acer Jade smartphone each and a dinner date with Toni Gonzaga and Paul Soriano during the awarding this November 27.

Being hospitalized several times when I was a child, I developed a fear of people wearing white uniforms. They always give me nightmares before because whenever they come around I feel pain. Without even knowing that the pain they give me is a part of the "process" which in turn will make me stronger, better, and healthier. I guess that's how life is. The more you get rid of something, the more it comes to you. I am now a Registered Nurse, I now wear the uniform I was once afraid of. I am wearing my uniform with dignity and compassion because I know that there is a reason why I became a nurse, that there is a reason why I became one of those people I hate before. I have discovered the beauty of this profession, and that is being benevolent and beneficial to others by providing quality healthcare that everyone deserves. #ExploreBeautiful #ExploreWorldwide

When I was a kid, my Dad and siblings said that I really loved playing with the other kids in our neighborhood. I would always act as a teacher and the other kids were my students. Everyone thought I would take up education in college like my Dad and my siblings but growing up I had different career paths that I wanted to take. During my graduation in kindergarten, I told everyone that I wanted to become a nurse; in elementary I wanted to become a teacher; in high school I dreamed of becoming a journalist. To make the long story short, I ended up finishing Master of Health Social Science at De La Salle University. I realized that all roads led me to my dream profession and one must really not give up on his/ her dreams…they do come true when one is willing enough to work hard to achieve them. #ExploreBeautiful #ExploreWorldwide

First Leg of our Challenge: #ExploreBeautiful

Abe Olandres Leave a comment

We start our #ExploreWorldwide series with a quick look at the past and how we changed thru time. While technology has allowed us to easily reach our potential, each individual has gone thru some kind of change or transformation.

The beauty is not how we changed our look but our outlook; not on where we’ve been but where we want to be – beauty is a state of mind.

Our first challenge is about #exploring our potential. Show us a photo of you between now and at least 10 years ago (baby pics if need be) and tell us what has changed. Post on your social media accounta and share with friends using the hashtags #ExploreBeautiful #ExploreWorldwide. Leave a comment with a link to your entry.

Here are some samples from our editorial team:

kev
“When I was a kid, I had trouble speaking in public. I overcame that fear growing up and can now stand before a crowd with confidence.”

lou
“As a kid, I spent most of my time playing with my Lego set or outdoors with friends. Now I play with gadgets and attend tech events for a living.”

carl
“I guess what has changed thru the years is my weight? haha kidding aside, I was really clueless on how I would end up being before. I thought of following my mom’s footsteps and be an entrepreneur, but my love for Art during High School flourished. If not for that, I guess I wouldn’t be here right now.”

Show us your before (babypic) and after photos and tell us what dreams you’ve realized or goals you’ve accomplished.

Submission starts today and ends November 2. We will have two (2) winners which we will select from the pool. Our prize is an Acer Liquid Jade and a dinner together with one of our two TV celebrity guests (to be revealed real soon!).
