Just Chill, Shake & Gulp! Be Happily Healthy with Goody Gulp Giveaway x Purple Plum Fairy

I know that we've just finished having a giveaway but since September is my birthday month, we've decided to give out some more since Purple Plum Fairy has been commissioned to hold this giveaway from Goody Gulp. 

My beloved Kyle had always been a fan of SpongeBob Squarepants. He adores his funny antics and he's fond of watching him all the time on TV. So what happens when he sees his favorite SpongeBob cartoon on a milk chocolate drink tetra pack? Well, he's been over the moon the first time he has tried it. You see, Kyle sort of had a milk-taste fatigue. He's not lactose intolerant, but he wanted to try other drinks. Our bones are like banks--we should start sustaining our calcium needs as we grow old to ensure that we will be Osteoporic when we get old. Milk is an important aid in bone development. Of course, as a parent, I didn't want to sacrifice his calcium needs and it's such a good thing that SpongeBob Goody Gulp indeed is a pretty good alternative!

SpongBob Squarepants Goody Gulp is also a perfect snack or baon for school. But it's best when it's chilled, straight from the fridge. Kyle's addicted to the SpongeBob Goody Gulp in chocolate. I liked the Patrick Star Goody Gulp variant though. It had that sweet strawberry taste and the creaminess of milk without overpowering each other. It tasted just right, not too sweet not bitter. And it does not have any bad after taste unlike other stuff we've tried before. 

SpongeBob Goody Gulp was made from New Zealand Milk without any preservatives so you can be assured that it'll not only be delicious but also safe. The packaging says it's a natural source of Calcium, Vitamins and minerals for kids, young, and those young at heart. It's available in two sizes:180ml and 230mL and two variants: Chocolate and Strawberry! 

If you'd like to win awesome SpongeBob Goody Gulp drink gift packs, and stand a chance to win a limited edition SpongeBob Squarepants Speaker, Purple Plum Fairy is hosting it on my blog. There will be 1 winner of the cute limited edition SpongeBob Squarepants Speaker and 2 winners of a Goody Gulp gift pack each. This giveaway is only for Purple Plum Fairy readers in the Philippines. Contest ends on October 7, 2014 at 12nn.

Good luck!

Young Filmmakers Take Centerstage at Nick's SpongeBob SquarePants Global Film Competition

Two aspiring short filmmakers bagged top prizes in Nickelodeon’s first-ever global SpongeBob SquarePants-themed short film competition, SpongeBob SquareShorts: Original Fan Tributes. Nicole from South Africa won in the 18 and over category with her live-action, silent film-esque “Finally Home” entry while David from USA won in the under 18 category with his “The Krabby Commercial” animated short film. Both entries bested more than 1,000 submissions from more than 70 countries and featured original storylines and stayed true to SpongeBob’s quirky charm, wide-eyed innocence and positive attitude.

“Finally Home” takes a peek into the life of a true-blue SpongeBob fan as she follows her heart and journeys to her ultimate dream home while “The Krabby Commercial” features Patrick teaching SpongeBob and friends a thing or two about optimism in the midst of a failed attempt to shoot a commercial. Apart from an international panel of judges comprised of Nickelodeon executives, fans via social media and online voting at the competition’s official site also helped choose the winning shorts.

Both Nicole and David were awarded a US$2,500 cash prize and a trip for four with accommodations to a grand screening of their own films at the SpongeBob Fan Shellabration at Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. A celebration of all things SpongeBob, the inaugural event takes place on the weekend of September 7 and 8 with themed games and activities.

Nickelodeon Announces First-ever SpongeBob SquarePants Global Film Competition

Nickelodeon, one of the world’s leading recognized entertainment brands for kids and families, announced the first-ever global SpongeBob SquarePants-inspired short film competition, SpongeBob SquareShorts: Original Fan Tributes. SpongeBob fans and filmmakers of all ages from around the world are invited to create original, SpongeBob-inspired short films for a chance to win a cash prize and trip for four people to a screening event in Hollywood, California. The call for entries started this May and will run through Friday, June 28. Entries can be submitted in two categories (under 18 years of age, and 18 and over) to www.SpongeBobSquareShorts.com

SpongeBob SquarePants is a world-renowned character-driven cartoon that chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends. The series is seen in more than 170 countries and territories and in more than 35+ languages. “SpongeBob is a global icon beloved by people of all ages,” said Pam Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer, Nickelodeon Group. “We’re excited to have a competition that lets fans around the world create compelling short films that showcase the optimism that SpongeBob brings to audiences everywhere.”  Films submitted to the SpongeBob SquareShorts: Original Fan Tributes competition should be themed around SpongeBob, his world and/or his friends, while celebrating his endearing attributes: humor, overflowing happiness and persistent positivity.

The short films can be live-action, animation, stop-motion, etc. and should run no longer than three (3) minutes. Videos will be judged on originality & creativity, incorporation of SpongeBob’s attributes, and overall appeal. Following the entry period, finalists will be selected by a panel of judges, and the top 10 in each of the two categories will be announced on Thursday, July 18 as finalists. From July 18 to August 2, fans will have the chance to vote for their favorite finalists at www.SpongeBobSquareShorts.com. The winner from each category will be announced in August.  For additional details on the submission process and official rules, please visit www.SpongeBobSquareShorts.com.  

Nickelodeon Summer Festival Bids Summer Adieu With a Bang!

My nephew Kyle at the Nicklodeon Summer Festival

 

Our all-time favorite TV channel, Nickelodeon ends summer vacation with a bang as it recently held Nickelodeon Summer Festival at the open grounds of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Nicksters from all ages did not mind the sweltering afternoon heat. Never mind if they were in sweat or they forgot to put on some sunblock. Here’s the best part: Admissions to Nickelodeon events such as these are FREE!

The Buganda Drumbeaters opens the show.

 

Nickelodeon events are guaranteed to be filled with fun, games and surprises, so for a true blooded Nickster, attendance of the whole family is a must! There were Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles, kids, tweens, teens, even toddlers, babies with nannies—every Nickelodeon fan gamely joined the said festivity with a carnival Mardi Gras themed party. It felt like there really was a town fiesta going on with the colorful trimmings across the event area.

Dora the Explorer and her cousin Diego graced the show.

 The Buganda Drumbeaters and dancers kicked off the program with upbeat drums to the delight of the crowd. Nicksters Lesley and birthday boy Robi hosted the program. There have been game booths from various sponsors as well as awesome prizes. It was indeed an afternoon of fun, laughter and slime as kids, tweens and those kids-at-heart enjoyed the entire day with loads of freebies, prizes and surprises.  What’s a Nickelodeon event without the gooey green slime they’re known for? Kids had a messy yet fun way to beat the summer heat by getting all wet in the You Gotta See This Backstage Pass Machine. They’ve certainly felt how it is to be slimed just like their fave Nickelodeon stars.

There have been wonderful booths like the giant climb and bounce inflatable slide for young kids to enjoy, apart from on stage games with awesome prizes. In fact, there have been two lucky kids from the Air Asia on stage games who both won a free roundtrip ticket for a family of four (for each kid) from Clark (one bound for Kalibo while the other one’s bound for Davao)! Other kids won for themselves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure toys. Hmm…How I envy them, I wish I could have one. I remember I had wanted that toy as a child. Oh, quite too late, I know if I’d have them, I’m just going to put them on display and not play with them. But how I really wish it were available during my time as a kid. Btw, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy figures (along with master Splinter and that of villain Shreder) are available at Toy Kingdom. Each toys are sold separately.

Now, going back to the Nickelodeon Summer Festival, birthday boy and Nickelodeon events’ host Robi was caught by surprise when he was greeted with a Happy Birthday song instead of the usual slime signal in one of the Slime Time segment of the program.  He gamely danced with a hula-hoop in hand.

Nickelodeon favorites Dora the Explorer and her cousin Diego made a special appearance together with sponsor mascots Ace (from Air Asia), Proppy (from Propan TLC) and Lioness and Paddlepop (from Selecta Paddlepop). During the intermission, the Sandugo Colorguards also displayed their talents in flag exhibition that has made the audiences wowed.

Nicksters also enjoyed the Nickelodeon Trivia Games where they were asked questions related to their well-loved shows on their favorite channel.  Lucky Nicksters brought home tickets to the NidoFortified Science Discovery Center, SpongebobSquarepants Water Squirters, Spongebob designed towels, etc., and these are just some of the amazing prizes that were given away. Of course, Nickelodeon events won’t be complete without the presence of much loved Spongebob Squarepants and his best buddy Patrick Star.

As an added bonus to Nickelodeon fans and as the program’s finale, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Leonardo and Donatello also made a special appearance in the show, a first time in a Nickelodeon event in the Philippines. Personally, it was something that I had really looked forward to. Having grown up watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back in the 90’s, I knew their names even up to this day. So it was also a thrill on my part to see them up close and personal. Seeing the ninja duos on stage performing a mixture of dance and martial arts brought back warm memories of my childhood.  Aahh, it felt so good to reminisce and be a child again. So, who says that Nickelodeon events are only for children? 

 

Every Nickelodeon event is for every Nickster by heart, regardless of your age, you can always be a kid-at-heart.  Nickelodeon Summer Festival is an event that my family and I will always cherish.

Purple Plum Fairy thanks Ms. Ginny Guanco of Stratworks for the invites.
