Brian SIGNED Manifold CD & Posters Giveaway

WINNERS ANNOUNCED!!! =D

I tried to pick the winners based on the set criteria of thoughtfulness/creativity/uniqueness/humour. These 6 winners’ entries stood out to me because they were special or made me laugh in terms of what they’ll do to cheer Brian up. XD I purposely asked you guys to answer this question so I could put something together for Brian when he needs some cheering up. ^^ There were A LOT of wonderful entries and it was seriously very hard to narrow down the final 6!! =P I’m really touched that you guys took the time to do this for Brian, and I’m sure he’d be grateful as well. May we continue to walk alongside him as we show him love and support. ^^ Thanks to everyone’s participation in this giveaway!! Love you guys!! ❤

WINNERS:

SIGNED CD:
Jina (jina_me@hotmail.com)
If Brian was feeling down, I would bring him to walk along a quiet beach, gazing over the oceans. I want him to scream at the top of his lungs and let the waves bring his troubles away. As the night falls, I would bring him to a place lighted with candles to bring some warmth to him. I would write “I LOVE BRIAN” on the sand and say it out loud. We would play with sparklers, eat some snacks, and chat till dawn comes and watch the beautiful sunrise. I would end it by saying a prayer with him, and that GOD has better plans for him.

FOLDER POSTER:
Ava Vandenbosch @vitagentava
If Brian was feeling down, I would treat him out to his favorite ice cream store and give him a small gift to cheer him up. I would start the day by being an attentive listener, providing care and concern for his sorrows. Afterwards, we could then go watch a funny movie together to lighten up his mood, something like “Vampires Suck.” Then, we can go on a late night trip to the beach for a grunion run, which will definitely make him laugh because me catching fish is just simply hilarious. Lastly, we could run miles and miles in the pitch dark screaming to let our souls revive again.

DeDe @Super_dede
If Brian was feeling down, I would start dancing to girls’ songs (haha) and make a rap. I think the best way to make someone feel better is to help the person release his sad feelings; therefore, I would take Brian to a beach and give him a note and bottle. I would tell him to write his sadness on the note and put it in the bottle and let it flow with the water. Afterwards, we can go karaoke and dance to girls’ songs. BUAHAHA…

Sylvia T. @SwtLollipop
If Brian was feeling down, I would
first buy a HUGE lollipop that’s the size of his head for him. 😀 Then, I’ll paint my face, put on an afro, wear some colorful pajamas, two different colorful shoes, and finally, stick a medium-sized tomato on my nose so that I’ll look like a clown~ I’ll do some funny dances and sing his songs in some kind of funny accent or in a chipmunk voice!! Hopefully, he will be a little cheered up by then, so I’ll paint HIS face too and encourage him to take sticky photos with me, both of us looking like clowns. 😀

DaQuan @DQmusic3
If Brian was feeling down, first, I would listen to his problems and try to give him some advice. Then, I would tell how I believe that he could get through it. “Brian, I know you’re feeling down but you will definitely get through this and come out stronger. I have been a fan of yours for almost 5 years now, and I know how much you’ve been through. Through all the good and bad times as you had as FTTS and all of it after during the start of your solo career. Trust me, I have faith in you.” That’s what I would say to him. =)

Miza Marali
If Brian was feeling down, I would drive him to somewhere relaxing, be it a beach, on top of a hill or even to a park. I would suggest a picnic outing and then prepare a surprise meal for him. If he is still feeling down, I would turn up the Brian’s music on my iPod up loud just to tease him. I’ll play it so loudly and sing along to it loudly, badly, and off-key right in front of him. Brian must be thinking I’m a total nut, but I guarantee he will laugh and not feeling down-er anymore. I would assure that I will always be there for him.

Jina, Ava, DeDe, Sylvia, DaQuan, Miza, please email your address to me ASAP at: brianjoocanada[at]gmail.com ^^

GIVEAWAY:

Grand Prize
1 x [Signed copy of Manifold CD]

Other Prizes
5 x [Manifold Poster (folded)]

I had promised that I would do something special once we’ve hit 500 followers/fans on my Brian fans Twitter/Facebook. We surpassed that mark long ago on Twitter, but have just recently reached that milestone on Facebook. So, this is my way of thanking you guys for your support of Brian and me. ^^V

This giveaway was made possible due to the generosity of my friend from Japan @MIDORI_JAPAN! Upon learning that she was attending Brian’s event in Japan back on July 24th, I had asked her to get me the penlight that was only being sold at the event. Lo and behold, she got me a BUNCH of other Brian and Fly to the Sky goodies!! I was really touched. <333 She guessed that I already had the poster, which I did, so she said I could give them to friends. But she didn’t know I already had a signed copy of Manifold. I had asked a friend from Thailand to get me a copy of Manifold so I can get the free poster since she is currently studying in Korea. And she had gotten it signed at an autograph session, which was addressed to me. Since I don’t need two signed copies of Manifold, I decided that I would give this one away along with the posters. =D

I tried to pick the winners based on the set criteria of creativity/uniqueness/humour. These 4 winners’ entries really stood out to me, either really touching my heart or making me LOL. XD I want my giveaways to be meaningful to reflect the kind of person that Jay is. So, I hope you guys will support my final decision. There were A LOT of awesome entries and it was seriously very hard to choose!! =P I’m really glad that Jay has impacted so many lives. May we continue to walk alongside him as Jaywalkers. ^^ Thanks to everyone’s enthusiastic participation!! Love you guys!! ❤

WINNERS:
@elainewon
I deserve this EP because I have dedicated my life to Love and Respect; I will use the giveaway to raise funds for South Korean orphans, adoptees, and spreading culture.

@lindanguyen72
I deserve this EP because if I win, the posters will go in my room and cover the dents and holes I’ve made trying (and failing) at bboy moves. LOL

@DiaLaYen
I deserve this EP because I banged my head on my bookcase when I jumped squealing then later my family hit me with a rolled newspaper to shut me up.

@HanieCullen
I deserve this EP because Jay’s coming to my country but I can’t go to his showcase because it will be held the day after my father passed away. ;(

Elaine, Linda, Diana, Hanie, please email your address to me ASAP at: wackycashew[at]gmail.com ^^

– I was immediately drawn to Hwanhee’s poignant ballad, which is from the drama OST of “Road Number One”; hence, I decided to pen an English version ^^
– Added the song to Media Player =)

Hwanhee – Barami Doeeoseorado (Even If Becoming Wind) [English Version]

No Matter What
*From “Road Number One” drama OST

Lyrics by: Lisa Tang
2010-06-23

VERSE 1:
Though we have to part, it’s just for a short while
I know in this world, there’s no one else but you
Do you think you can wait for me to return?
Or do you think I’m asking for too much?

You know you’re the reason I live
I will hold on to you
Until the day we meet once again

CHORUS 1:
Don’t you ever doubt the love that I have for you
Deep within my heart, I will keep a place for you
Whenever you feel I’m far away
Just think of all the times we’ve shared
I hope that it would ease the pain that’s in your heart

VERSE 2:
Everything I do, it’s all because of you
To protect you from the harm this war may bring
Please just wait for me; I will surely fulfill
The promise that was made since we were young

Please believe in me when I say
Have faith now and always
Nothing, no one can tear us apart

Repeat Chorus 1

CHORUS 2:
You may think that I am just leaving you behind
But this is what I must do so that you can live
Don’t let yourself turn to someone else
I’ll be back; I’ll keep my word
Find it within yourself the strength to carry on

No matter how much time
No matter how much pain
No matter what, my love, believe in us

– Posted an alternate English version to Brian’s Bullet, which was truly unexpected… XD I got this request for help from a dongsaeng and decided to give it a try. I’m supposed to write a chemistry song using any tune that I like. So, I picked Bullet. =P I could’ve just done a chorus, but I rarely write just part of a song. Decided to try my best to complete it. I found it pretty amusing myself… 😛 Keke~
– Added the Korean and English versions of the song to Media Player =D
