Two years ago at this hour - 8pm of August 8, 2008 - Sago of LetsGoSago.net was born.
The first post was actually a scheduled one as it was also the first day of my solo backpacking trip in Singapore. I made sure it came out in case I had problems in Singapore.
Two years, 200++ articles, 20+ trips, TV show guestings and a newspaper feature after, here we are.
Thank you dear readers for joining Sago and I in our travels, adventures, and even misadventures; including last year’s first anniversary Bloggers’ Surfing Camp in La Union.
We have also turned into a travel blog from the then travel-and-food-blog by branching out with food blog NomNomClub.com, Yet, you have stayed with us. I hope that the change was beneficial as we are more travel-focused now.
As a custom of giving it back to the community, we are holding two anniversary giveaways for our subscribers, If you haven’t subscribed, pls subscribe here. The first one starts tonight and ends 9pm August 17 18. Winners to be announced on August 18 11:59pm. The second anniversary giveaway starts August 19, and ends August 28. Results on Aug 31.
Grand Giveaway 1 Mechanics
1. Subscribers can simply choose from ANY of LetsGoSago.net’s past travel articles of your choice from the archive and share the “link” of that article in your FB wall.
2. Include a brief explanation of why you chose that article.
3. Make sure to include the manually typed “@LetsGoSago” tag so it would reflect in LetsGoSago’s FB fanpage wall.
4.One Person - One Entry Policy. For Philippine Residents Only.
Prizes:
The two winners with the best answer will win a 2G Flashdrive/thumbdrive for the first placer and Coors Duffle Bag for the second placer.
Two more consolation prizes will be given to the third and fourth best answers - a Unilab gift pack (3rd place) and Jollibee gift certificate (4th place).
But Wait There’s More!
All winners are automatically invited to NomNom Foodie Club’s 1st Anniversary Get Together on September 04, 2010. It would be held at a Greenwich branch (to be announced) where they would be getting their prizes as well.
In the same light, I’m officially introducing the Let’s Go Travel Club. Check more details here.
Remember, this is only Part 1!
Watch out on August 19 for the 2nd Anniversary Giveaway with bigger and better prizes from a branded travel gear sponsor!
Good news is you could join and win in both contests! We are still open for other interested sponsors.
