MANILA, Philippines - Last week, we asked you to show us a place we’ll want to experience. Although we did ask you to “tell us what’s new around the city” through a 15-to-second video, one entry from the first YS-Samsung Contest beat all the contest participants for this week. It wasn’t a little-known hangout or a hidden haven in the city, but a mind-blowing backpack journey in Southeast Asia. Hands down to YS reader Mirro Macatangay for embarking on a one-month epic adventure across Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos and for capturing his adventure on video (viewable on http://www.face-book.com/video/video.php?v= 458131554507). Macatangay takes home a brand, new Samsung ST100 digicam, which has large rear and front LCDs designed around touch-screen interfaces. Yahoo! Congratulations!
Now, we move on to this month’s biggest prize ever! You just need to give us a feel of your multi-tasking life through photos, video or a blog post and send your entry to ystar2.0@gmail.com or tweet us at twitter.com/youngstarphils. And if we get a sensory kick out of it, you might just get a mouthwatering Samsung Galaxy Tab. This new object of desire is where tablet meets videophone. The Galaxy Tab, which runs on the limitless Android 2.0 operating system, boasts of a 3.2-megapixel camera and 1.3-megapixel video-chatting camera. It is even lighter compared to other tablets and has up to 32GB of storage. Imagine being able to move and drag without any software restrictions. So, go forth and multi-task!
