I received a call coming from Rachel from The Body Shop around 2.30PM today - and she announced that I was the winner for their Love Etc. "Love Note" competition!
The "Love Note" contest was part of the "Love Etc..." fragrance promotion that was launched together with the sponsored screening for Twilight: New Moon; jointly sponsored by The Body Shop and Breeze Magazine. The idea? To write a romantic love message not more than 20 words. Apart from this contest, I wrote two articles about the entire event on my blog located here and here.
I recall being indecisive about taking part in the competition... but took part in it anyway after giving some thought... the funny and pretty stressful part of this experience was - I had to rush because they were closing the booth; packing up and leaving the cinema premises - as it was time for the screening to show!!! I was the last person to submit my entry...
... but all that squeezed-up stress of an effort, paid off rather well; good enough for my entry to win! I am to call and pick up my winnings from their office or one of their sales branches tomorrow.
I am wondering if there were other winners for this... or is this competition results in a sole winner?

Note to self: Never write a romantic love letter when under extreme pressure...

Santa Claus is said to exist; resembling the Bishop, Saint Nicholas (Nicholas of Myra/Turkey) who is known to the people of his time as a patron Saint of giving... so based on this fact, he does not give only toys to children. A well known story of his legendary deeds was that he was said to give dowries to help three poor daughters belonging to a very poor but devoted Christian family so they would get married legitimately without ending up becoming prostitutes (selling girls for money leading to underaged prostitution is practised even to this day in various parts of the middle east, India and Asia)
