Just like it did on Mariuca's birthday, it is also raining heavily here today while I write my Birthday Post for Mariuca's Perfume Gallery! Yes, today is MPG's birthday and since I neglected to celebrate her big day last year, this birthday will be celebrated with my first ever contest for MPG! Read on to find out more. ;)
But first allow me to give thanks to all my readers and fans here, who have stood by MPG when she went through a phase of non-posting, and to the newcomers who have made MPG one of their favourite daily stops. THANK YOU very much for all your love and support! Mariuca will continue to do her best in maintaining MPG as your chosen blog when it comes to EC advertising, captivating content, awesome songs every Monday, perfume reviews, daily banter and even fun-filled memes and quizzes!
As you all know, I've been preparing for MPG's birthday with much gusto. First, I got a makeover for MPG, followed by a new banner and just two days ago, I finally moved her into her own home by purchasing a new domain just for MPG! And now, for the biggest celebration of all - my very first contest here at Mariuca's Perfume Gallery in conjunction with my 2-year anniversary here YAY! I just love contests, especially when it involves an adorable MPG Teddy Bear like the one you see here! :)
Some of you have already entered the Mariuca Teddy Bear contest over at my other blog, but worry not because you are still eligible to enter this contest as well! For those entries already listed, you may use the same reason for wanting to bring this adorable MPG Teddy Bear home, but I am asking for a new name, that's all! Simple right? You would also need subscribe to MPG first before posting a new entry at your blog (same content is fine with me, so long as you come up with a different name) and let me know here once you are done with your post!

Holy Underwear BATMAN!! Emila snuck in with the first CHOP of the post!
She beat LJ with a whole 8 comments before LJ got a word in!
You read it here first folks!!
Congrats on your 2nd blogversary, Marzie!!!
Grandy is doin the birthday dance for you...
Which kinda resembles Emila's chicken dance that she did earlier for sneaking in before LJ...with a twist on the side.
I must try to remember your blogversary, since it is the same day as Hubby's birthday.
Did MPG get some special cupcakes to commemorate the event??
If not, I'm sending some cyber cupcakes your way.
It only fell on the floor once...
But it's alright because my cat licked off the dirt (along with the icing).
I figure it's still alright, since you like cats.
Hey PHATELARA!!
YOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Haven't seen you in a while, Debbs!!
I see you snuck in a couple comments on this post, so I thought I'd see if you would come out to play.
I'll have to go hunt you down.
Sending hugs to all Mariucans out there!
**pssst**
I think your comment counter might be broken.
or maybe it's just me
But when I came to visit a couple days ago...I was in the 3rd position with 43 comments.
There has been TONS since then and I came back today in the same spot, with the same number of comments.
And now I've just made a combined crazy 25 comments, and it still hasn't budged.
Unless LJ is off posting comments in a corner somewhere and I can't see her.
...again...
Oops!! Nevermind. It's working now.
Grandy is an idiot...again.
Wah, this one pakai pink scarf lagi, so sweet! :) Tapi I've ran out of ideas oredi la... for this one, I bagi chance orang lain pulak... hehe
This reminds me I haven't even entered the first one yet, alamak time running out.
*runs around like chicken without head*
Oh, btw, happy birthday MPG!
wow! this one pakai pink scarf lagi, are awesome.Grandy is doin the birthday dance for you.
I'm always slow to CHOP! :-(
Ewwww...look at Grandy go!!
And Emilla too!!
oh dear how is a girl supposed to keep up?
Especially one who can't stay awake!!LOL!!
Hello Mazie and hugs for you. I am off to do some blog hopping!!
