I'll be receiving the package sometime next week, and I'll be sure to take lots of photos to show you! Like I said before, I will be giving away tons of freebies, and I will keep you updated with this blog! So check often, and maybe you'll win something :)
Which reminds me.. I also entered HBC's What Are You Made of, Canada? contest. The prize is... a trip to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics! How awesome is that! Every entry is judged against the following criteria:
If you like my entry, please vote for me here! You have to sign up and have your email verified, but it only takes 10 seconds. You can also vote everyday. This really, really means a lot to me. If you want to know why, read the following paragraph. If you're not interested, just skip it :D
I've actually been to the Olympics before, thanks to the Visa Olympics of the Imagination Art Challenge. If you want to know how I won, you can read more here. I went to the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and the 2004 Athens Olympics.
I had the time of my life. I was really lucky to be able to share that with my mum. I had wanted to go to the 2004 Games with my dad, but unfortunately he was too busy with work. My dad's the only one who works in the family, so that's not surprising. This time around, if I win, he has no choice.. I'm bringing him with me :) I've never been on vacation with my daddy before, and I'd really like to change that. Typing this kinda makes me wanna cry. Well anyway... enough about that. That's my little story o_o
A lot of people have been asking me... Joan, why the hell do you enter so many contests? Wtf. In those exact words. My response is... Why not? I'm tired of just going through the everyday nonsense of school, eat, work, eat, sleep. The most memorable times of my life are when I seize whatever is in front of me and make the best out of it.
Some people might think I'm selfish for wanting so much, but I disagree. The opportunity is right in front of me, so I'm not about to let it slip away :) If I don't win, someone else will. So why sit back and watch, when I can actually do something about it? I don't lose much by trying. :D
If you read this much, I am really happy. Really. Thank you so much. Thanks for reading, and thanks again to those who voted.

Congratulations, and I wish you best of luck in "What are you made of Canada?" contest. Great site! :D
I totally agree with you. Seize it or else someone else will take it instead of you. Your chances are just the same as anyone else.
