We at FreeSpeech published, “This Journal Will Actually Change Your Life! 2009” and we’re proud it because it does what it proclaims. Now we have a plan: We are inviting you to join our campaign: THE JOURNAL WHO ACTUALLY CHALLENGED THE STARBUCKS PLANNER.
We are sending and giving you this planner. Yes, giving, not lending, not leasing, not renting and certainly not selling. It is yours.
THIS IS OUR CHALLENGE: take our planner and run a comparison with the Starbucks planner. Yes, we are serious. Point-for-point, we’d like you to blog about it and compare. We aren’t asking you to make us look good, we are asking for your honest comparison. We will provide a link to your blogsite from our website, of course.
This doesn’t end here. We have a little built-in contest. The blogger with the most responses on their comparison blog will win: 1) a FREE BoNa Coffee Company Membership Card, 2) a luxurious and relaxing full 1 day of pampering at Sujiivana Spa, and 3) a Free Hair Cut and Color at Sujiivana Salon. You can check out these awesome companies at http://www.bonacoffeeholdingscorp.com/.

To participate, e-mail us your confirmation as well as your mailing address at freespeechpublications@yahoo.com from September 22-26, 2008, to give us enough time to deliver the planner to you. FIRST 100 EMAIL CONFIRMATION TO US AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A PARTICIPANT.
Contest runs from October 15-November 15, 2008!
Dear Sir/Mam:
We would like to invite you to see our newly renovated Mario’s in Quezon City. We are taking Mario’s to the next level since we have been around since Nov. 12, 1980. We have kept our Casa Specials which made us famous and have added new Chefs Specials that are more in keeping with the times. Our affair will be on the 18th of October, Saturday, around 7pm.
Our address is 191 Tomas Morato Ave. corner Scout Gandia and is beside Bruno’s barber shop and Ratzky’s. Same side as Alfredo’s. It will be a fun night and menu is a la carte. We will have our own Function room downstairs, Mt. Data, with our own music and wines will flow at dinner. Our Chef will be on hand to answer any queries on the dishes you will choose and of course, if you want recipes, we can arrange for that. Hope you can make it and feel free to invite any of your fellow foodie bloggers, just inform me how many you will be so can prepare the tables. Hope you can join us.

I am a foodie and a blogger like yourself, feel free to drop by my site.
I just stumbled upon your site when I was googling some restaurants. Must say, I’m hooked! I’ve followed so many blogs and have grown tired of the usual and predictable features and descriptions. Your writing is so honest and your topic choices are very interesting — not the usual features. Consider me a regular. : )
