Contest: What do you believe in?
Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 8:50PM 
I believe in love and happiness, because if they don't exist, what else is there that's worth striving for? Money, fame, success, Facebook fans? I have found the love of my life and I am happy with what I do. I will always want more, but I've got the bases covered pretty well.
That said, I'd like to announce that folks from Levi's will be sponsoring a contest for Project Vanity readers! Up for grabs are three Levi's gift certificates worth P1,000 each. That's a huge discount if you're planning to get a new pair of Levi's (I highly recommend their ID Curve jeans. Love em).
So what do you have to do? Simple. Just make your own "I Believe" badge using this Facebook app. It's really super easy and shouldn't take more than a minute to finish.
Some requirements:
- Badge must be used as the Facebook profile pic of the contestant for the duration of the contest. The description must read: "Please visit http://apps.facebook.com/ibelieve-badge/ to make your own I Believe Badge"
- Badge must be shared on the Facebook Wall of the contestant. (After the badge has been made, there's an option to share it on your Wall).
- Leave a comment on this post linking to your Facebook page and (OPTIONAL) giving a short explanation about the things you believe in. Be creative and give it your best shot, because we will be picking the best entry personally - not through a randomizer.
Increase your chances of winning
- Tweet it, Plurk it, write a Facebook note on it, blog it. Don't forget to give me the links here!
And that's it. The contest will run from today until September 1. I will announce the winners on September 3. The gift certificates will be shipped off to three lucky winners. Good luck!

Hi Liz!
Readers of my blog know that I constantly document my daughter's development and what I learn in the process...That is because I strongly believe that more than education, the best gifts parents can give their children is a good upbringing and positive values.

Heyo! :D
Haha just in time, I've been meaning to write a blog entry about this.
Here's what I believe:
When I saw this, I immediately thought that there's no way I'll be able to answer this in one phrase. I believe in a lot of things. I believe that vanilla does taste better than chocolate. I believe that love is to be seized, not waited for. I believe that children who grew up watching Batibot end up successful people. I believe that I write better when I write longhand.
But then I think, out of the many things I believe in, I believe most fervently in taking chances. Of giving up your comfort zone in pursuit of something better, something bigger. Only if we take chances will we truly become better people. No, "better" is cutting it too specific. Only if we take chances will we have the opportunity to become more than what we are. And as people, as humans, I think that's what we should always strive for. :)

loving everyone's posts so far! keep it coming!
Have you ever felt that you have found THE one and letting go is not [and won't be] an option?
I know you all have, otherwise, you wouldn't be sticking around here sharing about what you believe in - the one person, the one dream, the one thing - the one something which means the world to each of us. Count me in!
I have always valued that words are strongholds, a statement of a commitment. And I have found my own - a loyalty to my other half, my family, and the principles I stand for. As in every commitment, it requires a sacrifice - of self, of caprice, of selfish pride - and give in to selflessness. Giving is not accounting. Giving is holding your ground and defending the fort. All because they are my refuge.
This is me buckling down, digging in my heels and fighting tooth and nail for what I believe in.
Hi there Liz,
I enjoyed creating my own badge! :))
I blog about my engagement and upcoming wedding. It is my joy to share to the world how happy I am that I've found my destiny, my one true love. Because like everyone who believes in LOVE, I also believe that LOVE conquers all. :))

I believe God will grant my prayer. He knows I really want to have my own child and I want to have a complete family. Having a child makes me really happy!

Like what ive said that I believe that true style never ends, and they just fade away, i know thats true. When you buy jeans and last for about a year, it doesnt mean that its not fit you at all, its the style that you are aware of, you must confident wearing clothes or anything eventhough it fades away, the important is the style that never lasts.

I believe that nothing is impossible just Believe in yourself you can do anything :)
I believe that God will give everything you need in perfect time. He has plans for the all things I need and I know He will give it in the right time. Just be patient and God will answer in His mysterious ways all the gift of life.

Hello,
I'm interested in joining, but I'd like to confirm if the GC's you'll about to be shipped, is it applicable to provincial winners like in Iloilo? I'm from Iloilo by the way. We have Levi's stores here, but do they accept your GCs there?
Salamat po.
Hi Liz!
This contest pushes me to revive, and update, my year old "I Believe" piece. I love this contest as it seems to FIT me, totally in my character.
Anywho, please visit my sites:
My FaceBook page: http://www.facebook.com/danacamille
and my blog, where my explanation is written in full: http://heelsncurls.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/i-believe/
Yaay! Keep em coming :)
Thanks, Cami
Hi Persephone!
Yup, they will ship the GCs anywhere in the Philippines. The GCs can be used in all Levi's Stores.
Hi Liz! Thanks for this contest! Here's my entry:
I believe that life is an adventure. There must be more to it than working on a day job, going home, eating, sleeping, surfing the net, etc. That's why I try my best to follow what I believe in and go on trips as much as I can (if I can afford it) and experience what the world has to offer, meet other people, explore foreign lands. I believe that there's just so much out there!

I believe each family is a legacy to the world.
The family is the basic unit of society. Very cliche but very true. I admire parents everywhere who raise their kids to be people who function in society and be the best that they can be - kids they can be proud of. Children are the pride of parents. They didn't choose us, nor we them. In the magical order of things, we come into full circle with our mom and dad and sibs. No qualifications, no requirements, just unconditional love. Children are the imprints of parents in the sands of life and time. And together, we are a legacy to the world, each family a tiny star in this universe.
