Thank you for joining The Walking Eater Contest.  Winning two (2) Walking Eaters each are … drumroll please … Patrick Carlos, Teeyah and Polinda Usero.  Congratulations!

Everyone needs one.

And borne of a MoneyDoctors story, we have produced one. And we called it The Walking Eater.

Thing is, it is not just a MoneyDoctors story. It is actually our story. My husband’s story.

He is the walking eater.

As I promised in an earlier post, a reader of YouWanttoBeRich will win something during YTBR’s anniversary month.

That something is a day of pampering.

I confess. Ever since I was old enough to get a manicure and a pedicure, or go to the spa, that would be one of the highlights of my day, week, month. That it reinvigorates and makes a whole new you – those “promises” are true. Well, okay, at least for me. Even veteran actor Dolphy is said to get a massage everyday and that is one of the secrets of his longevity.

What’s not to love? Even babies seek human touch and thrive because of it. When I stroke hubby’s hair or rub his back, or give my daughter a foot spa (which I have not done in ages – sorry my baby), they keel over and let the sensations take over.

Answer these questions in the COMMENTS section of this page so you can win some pampering treats: What is your favorite article in YouWantToBeRich and why.

The winner will get a gift certificate for a massage at The Spa (courtesy of my brother – thank you!) and a gift certificate for a facial at VMV Hypoallergenics.

The contest will run from today until midnight of June 25, 2010. I will be announcing the winner in an article to be published on June 26, 2010. I will also be emailing the winner privately so I can send her or him the gift certificates.

And oh, the winner will be chosen via random.org, a service built and operated by Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland (I have been wanting to use random.org and now I can – cool!).

This contest is for Philippine residents only. Next month, I will be launching another contest for all the readers of YTBR, even the ones based abroad.

To celebrate this anniversary, I also updated my About page so you can put a face to the name.

Thank you again for reading me and being with me for one wonderful year.

Be rich,

Issa

P.S. Incidentally, next month is the first year anniversary of one of my favorite spa places, Chic Nails. Congratulations to my friend Angeli for a glorious first year!

Exactly one year ago today, You Want To Be Rich made its debut in the blogosphere.

Interestingly, June 12 is also independence day in the Philippines so I thought it would make for a great beginning – an independence day for people who wanted financial freedom. And it was a great year. Although it was a challenge to keep writing and internalizing and coming up with interesting insights and articles, I enjoyed every minute of it.

But let me confess something –the days leading to this first anniversary were not easy ones. As a matter of fact, they were the most challenging of my life.

But let today be one of celebration because it is, in very many ways. Please allow me to process what has happened this past week and I will share it with you in the coming days.

For this anniversary month, I am also launching a contest. Please watch out for it.

To all my readers and supporters, know that I am very grateful – one year after – to still have you with me on this journey.
