Love Chicken? Time to Fill Up at Max's Chicken-All-You-Can Promo!

>> Thursday, June 17, 2010

As a way of celebrating and thanking their loyal patrons, Max's is giving us a Chicken-All-You-Can for only P165.00.  What a grand way to celebrate their 65th anniversary!



Max's has become a part of our life.  Never a month passes by without dining here.  We simply love the food!

So, off we (my family) went to the nearest Max's and eat our heart out.  I consumed two quarters (hey!  that's half of a chicken!) and I realized what a glutton am I, LOL.  Truly, sarap to the bones!

By the way, the terms and conditions of the promo are as follows:

1. Chicken will be served in quarter pieces, and parts will be based on availability.
2. Add P39.00 for bottomless Pepsi Softdrink.
3. Promo period is from June 17 - July 17, 2010 and from 6 PM to 10 PM only.
4. Promo valid for dine in only.  Not available for take-out, delivery and bulk orders.
5. Cannot be combined with other offers. No sharing. No Leftover. Chicken will be served after each piece has been consumed.

Free Skittles Candy Sample: For Real or Just Another Hoax?

>> Thursday, May 27, 2010



I received this link and referral from friends promising a "free bag of Skittles." Take note, it's not a just a pack of Skittles but a BAG of Skittles.  Hmmmm, sounds too good to be true. I asked a colleague if she tried to clicked the link and what happened during the process of "registration."  She said that one needs to refer 20 friends in order to receive that BAG of Skittles.

Skeptic as I am, still I tried to register and here's what I've found out.  Here's the homepage.  I checked the web address and it is not addressed to Skittles but to hxxp://www.tryfreecandysample.com/referal.php.  Btw, Skittles homepage is here.


1.  You need to enter an email address and country.  See that ads at the right sidebar?  It says that this promotion is available worldwide. Wow, that made me think again if Skittles would really give out a free BAG to billions (or millions) of registrants-to-be?

2.  After I've entered an email address (which I just made up and not even a registered one!) and a country, the website brought me to this page.  It gave me a referral link and a PIN code with an instruction to share the link to another 20  friends, and I can share it also through my Facebook account. 


I stopped on this page.  I did not publish this to my Facebook, of course.

Now, here's the real funny and amusing part. I tried to register again, this time using my email address for junk stuff and another made-up email address.  Guess what?  I received the same referral link and PIN code!  (Maybe, because of IP address?  Still, I checked my email address for junk stuff but I did not receive a confirmation link!)


Look, let's  read again what's with the special instruction. It says that I should be receiving the freebies in the mail -- email?  LOL!   Not postal mail, for sure, 'cause I am not asked to put any address during the registration process.



Again, I browse their page and checked their privacy statement.  Here's what they are going to do with the information.



This sounds like the same links that I received offering free Sony laptop, Ipod, Iphone, etc. 

'nuff said.

(On the other hand,  my view can still be changed if someone will send me my BAG of Skittles.  Would Skittles do that for me?  *grin*)

Hey, if anyone out there had already referred 20 friends, please update me.

Comments and violent reactions are welcome.  LOL!

Sky Broadband's Router Power Promo and D-Link DIR-600



I was supposed to avail Sky Broadband's Router Promo which ran from Feb 22 to May 24, 2010. It was a partnership between Sky Broadband and Xytrix Systems Corp. to give its subscribers a chance to own D-Link DIR-600 for only PhP 1,999, and DIR-615/E for PhP 3,399. Payments should be made directly to Xytrix Systems Corp.'s bank account, and in return, the subscriber will just have to wait for the delivery and installation.


Sounds like a real deal to me (who is too lazy to surf and canvass prices for these routers). I was set to send an email to Xytrix Systems Corp. for a D-Link DIR-600 when a friend of my colleague informed me that it was not a good deal at all. He sent me a link to Villman's webpage. OMG! It was cheaper by a few pesos indeed. Maybe, that's to compensate the free delivery and installation by Xytrix. I was still hesitant to buy because I might not install the router correctly. But, because Xytrix delivers only on Thursdays, and I am that impatient (ataters mode, hehe). I gave it a shot and bought one!

Ta-daaaaa!



It is easy to install as promised.  Just insert the provided CD installer and it works like a charm  *winks*.  No need to be techie! An additional perk by D-Link is a lifetime warranty, though I still have to check on them if this product is covered.  But I think there's something wrong with their online registration page,  it is not working.  I can't get through after that "submit" button, aaaargh!!!

Happy as a bee, I am contented with my new router.  While my son is busy playing online games via LAN, I can set myself and connect anywhere in the house.

Buzzing Around

The author first came up with a blog name - Real Life Consumer - which discusses on first hand experience on products, places, people and promotions; but finds it too formal and does not reflect the true "HER."

She changed her blogname to "Buzzing Around" because that's what she want to talks about! Anything under the sun - topics about fashion, social ranting, techie gadgets, and pinoy culture.

The style of writing is light, humorous (sometimes with sarcasm), and informal.
