Let There Be (a Sea & Sea YS-110 α Strobe) Light!

I think the “No onw wins” decision for the samsung shark contest is much much better based on the following reasons:

First. Sabi ni Mr. Jayvee sa announcement ng contest na “Remember, I’ll be asking help from someone from their team (with me having the final say)”. Now when they announced the winner, he said “Samsung felt that his entry was simple and captured the essence of their products.” What? Because of what Samsung felt? How bout what you felt? Mukhang Samsung yung may “final say” ah? Nagduda na ako on “who’s the boss” nung sabihin ni Mr. Jayvee na “guys, just got off the phone with juno from samsung. we both have our choices na kasi but we need to do a tie breaker.” Dun pa lang kung sya ang may “final say” hindi na dapat mag tie breaker pa. Dapat yung choice nya ang nasunod.

Second. Ang sabi pa “Have fun! Be creative! Make us laugh!”. Sorry pero wala akong nakitang nakakatawa sa winning entry. Kayo natawa ba? Tapos dinagdagan pa nga nila ng “Samsung felt that his entry was simple and captured the essence of their products.” Ha? San galing yun? Ano na nangyari sa “Have fun! Be creative! Make us laugh!” Hahahaha!

Third. The most “creative” and “funny” winning entry was submitted way past the deadline. Ok lang yun if they announced earlier na merong extension. But even Mr. Jayvee himself, eh mukhang hindi aware na extended yung contest nya. Here’s what Jayvee said on December 14, 2010, at 2:13 PM (3 days after the deadline) when people asked kung extended at dahil may mga nagsusubmit pa rin ng entries:

“guys, this contest is finished. nung saturday pa. new contest out.”

Hindi ba naisip ng Samsung na maging kahiyahiya si Jayvee when they announced na “In the future, we shall make sure to announce that the contest is extended (in case we cross the deadline initially set.)”?. Lagpas na nga ng deadline nung magsabi si Mr. Jayvee na “guys, this contest is finished. nung saturday pa. new contest out.” Eh wala pa rin sinabing extended na parang lumalabas na hindi talaga sya aware na ieextend ng Samsung ang contest right?

It looks like talagang na overlook yung petsa ng submission ng The most “creative” and “funny” winning entry. Ginawa na lang dahilan na extended kuno na lalo lang nagkabuhol buhol dahil wala ngang announcement na meron nga at kung meron nga talaga.

Lastly, I aplologize pero hindi ko talaga type yung winning entry. Hindi rin naman yung entry ko ang gusto ko. May nakita akong isang entry na pasado. Yun bang very smooth or fluid pag binasa mo. Hindi halting. At isa pa may dating na medyo funny. Kung babasahin kasi yung ITALY na I Trust And Love You eh napaka smooth na para ka talagang nagbabasa or nagsasalita ng isang phrase. Yung winning entry pag binasa mo kailangan mong mag pause sa gitna. At yung mga letra particularly yung “S” for sabik eh pwersahang ipinilit para lang magkaron ng “s”. Force fit kung baga.

Hay….. nakakadismayang contest.

@cristine reyes: perhaps ill ask your help to choose the next winner. will keep in touch (hope the email you left is valid)

@Cristine Reyes

It’s obvious that when you say “duwag”, it also applies to yourself. You can’t even put your real name here, unlike Sir Jayvee who has his name on the line. So before you say such harsh words to another person, look first in the mirror. So uncivilized.

I must admit that I am one of those that were disappointed. I needed (yes, needed, for personal reasons) the prize badly, so I worked hard for my entries. All of us had. I agree with the points of “we are all losers”. I also think that it was misleading to say to make them creative yet Samsung picks a (sorry Marlon) simple one that represents their brand. I think there are a lot of creative ones that were entered, and it would have been better to pick another one from the top ten entries they have listed.

BUT we are not the judges. And all of us have our own opinions, INCLUDING THEM. And sorry nalang sa inyo (Cristine Reyes and Sayang), pero site to ni Sir Jayvee so if you hate the decision so much that you can’t even respect the person behind the contest then might as well leave your comments to yourself. This is his site, his contest, and not yours.

WE HAVE TO BE REMINDED THAT THIS IS A GIVEAWAY FROM HIS OWN PERSONAL BLOG, AND THAT MR. JAYVEE IS NOT OBLIGATED IN ANYTHING BY US MERE READERS.

Naman, maghahabol na nga lang kayo ng free laptop, ang lakas nyo pa manlait. Kayo na ang magaling magjudge, kaya kayo nalang ang magpacontest.

Sir Jayvee, while I agree that there has been some mistake (on all our parts. kasi alam naman nang waaay past the deadline na, nagpipilit pa), but let me be the first one to comment that I don’t think the public voting system will be better. It would just be some popularity contest without giving credit to the best entries/answers. I’ve seen contests like that that end up having a winner that spams his friends nonstop, and it’s irritating (unless you’re doing the contest to increase traffic, which I highly doubt). I think it’s a great idea that creativity is needed instead of popularity (more fun too, in a way), and I think you did great with the last two contests, so don’t let this single instance bring everything down.

More power to you, Sir Jayvee! Congratulations and Happy Holidays!

Hey guys chillax, Kung meron man dapat malungkot sa nangyaring ito, it’s us!. You know what guys? When I told my 4-year old daughter that i won a laptop she was so ecstatic because she knows that we really wanted to have a laptop. She even asked me yesterday (when i got home from work) if i have it. But i said that i still needs to claim it. And now our dream fell apart because of this technicality thing. Maybe some of you who joined are well off, but we are not. And losing this laptop really has a blow on us.

We are all victims, Mr. Fernandez included. I don’t know him personally but I can say that he must be hurting now for all your false accusations. I SWEAR TO GOD that we do not know him and he is not favoring our side. Maybe he just wanted to help his friend and give us a gift but then again, a mistake was committed and no one has the right to judge who it is. In the spirit of Christmas, let us be kind to one another and stop these malicious comments.

Close na kasi ung Comment dun sa Contest kaya dito na alng ako mag cocoment

@camille: indeed, lalong magkakagulo pag public voting system ang magiging basehan matabunan lang ang may best entries.. at suggestion lang limit the entries para di masyadong marami.. (suggestion lang po)para ma screen ng mabuti..

@sir jayvee: despite of criticism that you have experience right now, please be calm .:) im very happy na nahanap ko ang site mo.. at na referred ko sa 3 clasmates ko, na nag eenjoy sa pagsali sa mga games nyo. i hope it will not be the last game,, 🙁

we’re looking forward for your future contest,,,

You said the blogger should be the boss and not the sponsors. Looks like you are eating your own words now. If you were the boss, you could have been on top of things and not let Samsung mess this up.

Well then, let’s just put everything behind us and look forward to the next game, yes? 🙂 It will be sad that this will be a cause for frustrations during the holidays. 🙂

@camille: oh e di kaw na. standing ovation tayo! ang bottom line lang dito wag paasahin! ang dami gusto manalo nun, contest nga eh diba? so sino ang may fault dito? syempre alam na kung sino. lam ko naman nadisaappointed ka din noh! pede naman kasi take time to decide and validate the entries eh. lam mo yun, all the effort and hardships para makajoin dito tapos ano parang bula lang na nawala? pede naman kasi magrandom na lang kung kanino ibibigay basta may acceptable na winner! mas lalo tuloy siyang naging kahiya2! duh magisip ka nga!

Bakit di makamove-on ang iba?

Kasi di nila alam kung natalo or nanalo ba ang entries nila… Walang closure kung baga… Kasi hanggang ngayon umaasa pa sila…

Kawawa naman. Paskong pasko, may nanloloko.

OMG so much ado over a laptop. SMH.

@Camille –> And all of us have our own opinions, INCLUDING THEM. And sorry nalang sa inyo (Cristine Reyes and Sayang), pero site to ni Sir Jayvee so if you hate the decision so much that you can’t even respect the person behind the contest then might as well leave your comments to yourself (ATE MAGISIP KA NGA! MAGPAKATOTOO KA. PANO I RERESPECT E D NGA NIRESPECT ANG MGA NAGHIRAP MAGISIP, SUMALI AT MAGABANG DITO. TODO HIRAP NG MGA CONTESTANTS NATURAL LNG NA MAGREACT CLA… SIMPLE COMMON SENSE DECISION MAKING LANG NAMAN KC YAN, DI PA MAGAWANG MAAYOS. EDI PMILI NG NARARAPAT NA WINNER! AT TUPARIN ANG MGA PINAGSASABI. ASAN ANG TOP 10??? NAPOST BA SA FB? WALA NAMAN E… PROMISE… promise nga e di naman pnagisipan. sbihin wala sa rules… e wala naman dn sa rules ang pmili ng late entry as winner and i cancel pagkatapos mapahiya si Marlon) tsktsk

@Jayvee – sorry ha, pero suggestion lang, if u like na magain uli ang supporters ng blog nyo at ng samsung, may time pa. think about it. alam ko alam nyo kng anu ang nararapat na gwin. Thanks also for exercising our brains in this contest. nagenjoy nman ang lahat kaso lang pumalpak sa huli. anyway, goodluck to ur blogsite and sana maka-ahon uli ang blogsite nyo. Best wishes to Samsung also 🙂 favorite ko pa naman ang Samsung 🙂 naubusan n nga ako ng nice words kakaisip ng best na mabubuo sa SAMSUNG 🙂 Nice entries to all my fellow contestants 🙂

Guys, tigil na! Tapos na eh. Wala namang nawala sa’tin eh (Literally, wala talaga, unless na lang kung gumastos kayo ng pera para lang magawa yung entry niyo but duh, may gagawa ba nun?) Ayun, naging fair na nga si sir Jayvee sa decision niyang no one wins eh, anong gusto niyo? Pumili pa ng isang magwawagi tapos magrereklamo na naman kayo na ang pangit pangit ng nanalo. Ano ba?! Gusto niyo, kayo na lang ang pumili! Kaya hindi umuunlad ang ating bansa eh, walang pagkakaisa.

STARRING MARLON in a movie

“PAHIRAM NG ISANG SANDALI! haha winner na nga nawala pa sa kanya haha.

Tama bang pagtawan mo ako, pare parehas lang naman tayo nawalan, wag na tayo magsisihan, let’s move on na, wag na nating sisihin si Mr Jayvee Fernandez, kung ayaw nyo na sumali it’s your choice, well there’s always a 1st time for mistake, so let’s give Mr. Jayvee Fernandez a 2nd Chance, Peace

sa susunod kasi wag lang puro salita.. eh siya din napapahiya sa mga tao. pasalamat siya online to kung nasa tv o nasa labas siya baka nabugbog na siya ng mga tao. responsibilidad niya tong site na to eh tapos ano ganun na lang? unbiased your face, ewan ko sayo!

camille: for sure di rin yan ang real name mo. pede ba wag ka magmalinis. umuwi ka na lang sa inyo at magsaka hahahahahha

to marlon: sa susunod wag ka na sumali kung alam mong deadline na ha? read the mechanics ok?

@mr jayvee, mbuti nga wla po voting sa mga c0ming c0ntest. . Kc kwawa kming nka cp lang hrap mg pa like or vote sa iba.hehe. 🙂
And to @Marlon, okay lang yan. . .sana maintindihan ng babies mu kuya. .haha. … . .

*rolls eyes* People can be so immature. Hindi naman porket dismayado ka eh may karapatan na kayong manlait ng ibang tao. Yes, I was disappointed, but I actually have common sense and decency to conduct myself properly. Can’t people just stop dictating the blogger on what to do? This is his site after all.

Sir Jayvee has other readers who actually read his blog because they’re interested in the content, not just the prizes. If you can’t take the decision then just leave instead of trolling here.

And FYI Cristine, Camille IS my real name. Sir Jayvee can validate it with my email address, if he should need to. Too bad you’re not him to be able to validate.

Meh, can’t people just move on and stop being sore losers. I, for one, am actually looking forward to some more blog posts. 🙂 Gadgets + photography = <3. 🙂

to camille: I have one word for you! ECHOSERA!! haha
to marlon: mechanics is still mechanics siguro di ka lang talaga nagbabasa na deadline na pala, hahaha

to camille: so bakit minomonitor mo mga reply ko sayo? haha. ECHOSERANG FROG ka kasi! define move on eh di sana di ka na lang nagreply sa comment ko! AMBISYOSA! hahaha

You’re amusing to watch. Yun lang. 🙂
