Hello everyone,
I need your help, seriously. It's time to get some input from everyone. You know how much I love traveling. You know how much I love to enjoy life. You know I'd go the distance for it, anything for the blog, like... ANYTHING. Most importantly, you know how passionate I am in this blogging business. 4 years..... after 4 years, I'm still trying to update regularly, like everyday.
You know I have a dream, a dream I never thought could come true but now, this dream could be possible. And I'm trying very very hard to make this dream of becoming a travel writer come true (even though chances are probably very very slim but no harm trying right?) .
I am going to take part in a competition to win a free, all expenses paid trip to Tokyo for 7 days, blog about my experiences for the whole entire time I'm there.
TOKYO!
We're talking bout the big flashy neon billboards!

We're talking bout watching these bunch of obese ppl live in action!

BUT this is not all, the most interesting part is the chance to get my 'work' featured in the 'Rough Guide' series!
God I swear I'm hyperventilating as I'm writing this.
You know what's ironic? Initially I was planning to go Japan end of this year, sometime in December to spend Christmas there but due to some personal reasons, I decided to back out and tada! a new opportunity presents itself for me to step my foot there for the first time!
To win myself this assignment to Japan, I have to write an essay, a 500 word essay based on a personal experience around one of the following themes of which I have narrowed down to 2;
a. 'A Journey that Changed Lives'
b. 'A Memorable Experience Involving Food in a Foreign Country'
I'm thinking of going with option A since I don't have much experiences involving food, oh wait.. there are a few now that I think bout it. I can think of so many things I could write about but I don't know where to start and I need your help/guidance/comment/critic. It could be my bad English, grammar, vagueness in details, anything!
Most importantly among all my travel entries (not that I have a lot to boast), which is one the one that you think I should write bout? Let me make it easier for you.
Some shortlisted entries :
Option A -
Whaleshark sighting +
The whole Philippine experience / or the summary of being in US alone for 6 weeks +
Skydiving / or the summary of Europe travels (I'm forgetting a lot of it by now @_@)
Option B -
Berlin dine-in-total-darkness experience +
Eating SUPERSIZED meal /
Eating balut500 words! too short lor! -_-

link. Help me choose!
Yes, I'm serious. This could be a one in a million opportunity for me. I admit I'm not the best blogger out there but I definitely want to give this a try. If I try, I have at least 0.0001% of winning this but if I don't, the chance is down to 0.
Appreciate every input I can get :)
Thank you~!
