Last September 8, we celebrated Grandparent's day at Robinson's Galeria. May HotWheels event, siyempre yung anak ko gustong mag-race dun sa mahabang race track na inassemble nila. In order to participate in the activities, you have to purchase P200 worth of HotWheels item. So bumili ang wifey ko ng dalawang kotse. Unfortunately, Rohan (anak ko) can't join because he's only 4 years old and only kids 6 years and above can join. Sayang naman. Pero sabi nung mga organizers na puwedeng sumali si mommy sa seniors division.
And so it came to pass, sumali si wifey sa seniors division. The object of the race is to survive the multi-looped track and get the fastest time. Fortunately that day, only 3 seniors joined and they need 5 contestants for that leg of the race. So kahit kulelat si Lorie that day, pasok pa rin siya sa final round that will be held on Trinoma on the 23rd of September. Maraming goodies si Lorie that day, giftpacks from McCormick, Leslie's and 5 hot wheels cars - astig!
There are 3 legs of the race, the 1st is at Robinson's Galeria, 2nd is Robinson's MetroEast, and the last is at Trinoma. The event is sponsored by Hotwheels and Toys 'R Us. The grand prize is P10,000, a trophy + hotwheels goodies + bragging rights. Siyempre, excited si Lorie dahil pasok siya sa finals! We asked people what's a good car to use in these races. And majority told us to look for a PHARODOX HotWheel car. It's common, kaya madaling hanapin.
September 23 came, and there are 13 finalists in the seniors division. Lorie was the ONLY female contestant. Unfortunately she lost the preliminary elimination and didn't reach the final 5. She got a time of 1 minute and 45 seconds, 9th place (that means she kicked the shite out of 4 other men). Nevertheless, may P500 gift certificate siya + a HotWheels car + McCormick goodies. Not bad for a P200 HotWheels purchase.
While we were driving home, I kept thinking that I should've joined :)
There's no harm in joining (unless it's a fraternity or something illegal). Who knows, you might win.
