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

For the past 5 years, it has been our annual practice to throw a huge gadget giveaway (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) so this year, we thought of making it bigger and more challenging to everyone (and we’re starting it earlier than usual).

Between now and December, we’ll be running four tasks and challenges to our readers, our editorial team, our fans and followers on FB/Twitter, and our fellow bloggers. Each task or challenge will span a week or two with instructions posted on the site on how to participate.

We’re also glad to have the support of Acer Philippines who is our primary sponsor for this series and they will be providing lots of prizes from smartphones, laptops, tablets, dinner date with chosen celebrity, a Christmas party, as well as a blogging scholarship and mentorship from YugaTech.
