I love to use wechat recently because of it’s capable of a walkie talkie thing. It was so fun, I also take photos and post it on facebook. But i’m not that selfie addict LOL. Thanks for sharing this article.
Hehe yup same here. When WeChat first came out, one of the features that struck me most was the walkie talkie. It’s just so cool and different from traditional call and text methods of communication. It’s just like playing with a friend. π You’re welcome!
I’ll try posting selfies in Wechat. It’s been awhile since I’ve used Wechat but because of this selfie challenge.Why not!
Hehe good thing that this promotion serves as a trigger to ignite your usage of WeChat. Go girl!
This sounds like a fun competition but not something that i would personally join *LOL*, i hate seeing my silly face doing weird poses (that’s why you mainly only see one expression *according to my friends : mean expression* on all of the pictures in my blog) :p
Hi Mindy! I always see you without a smile or teeth showing up. Is that already the mean express? I thought it’s just a candid straight or normal face. OK lah, I also don’t like doing silly faces and weird poses especially if these pictures will be sent out to public hihi.
I’m not really a fan of WeChat anymore since they did something awful to me. Not good!
Ohh I wonder what that’s about.
looks awesome, I would really want to try that out. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, Natosha! Maybe I’ll see your face in their banner ads next time? π
Sounds like fun, I have never heard of this app before.
WeChat is one of the many apps today that’s booming in App store. Check it out for free. π
Seriously? A selfie contest? Lol, but it can be quite effective.
Yeah hehe I guess they are taking advantage of what’s trending now. Since many people are into taking pictures of themselves using their own camera, a mono pod has even evolved. Get the chance to also maximize this trend by joining the contest. It could be fun. π
Wow it’s very easy to submit an entry but I guess this contest is not really for me. Haha. While reading this I remembered the short video “Lost Memories”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfoQNfjJ2_0
I’ve watched that and initially I didn’t get it. I thought it’s quite a sad short video. But yeah, I feel the reality and it’s sinking in deeper and deeper every day as more people get into the web and lose their real social life.
I’ve always loved WeChat! I’m so glad my friend recommended it to me and it’s just so much fun to use! I haven’t tried the moments app quite yet, but I’m definitely telling all the selfie addicts out there to check the contest out! Haha! π
So I’m guessing you’re not a selfie addict? Hmm this can be the opportunity to showcase your talent in making faces then. π I use Moments rarely but I’ll check it out for myself this time for more explorations and discovery.
lol! Look fun to me. I would like to do the angry guy pose.
Nice. Do practice the other facial expressions as well. π Look into the mirror and get your best angle.
i don’t know why i uninstalled wechat but i think it’s time for me to reinstall it because of this promo π
Hehe yeah go for it! π
very nice one! i should probably join too but im not so good at selfie’s hahah but will try maybe i can be lucky enough to win!
Best of luck to you, Jane. Hmmm I’m thinking of joining in as well. π
I bet selfie enthusiasts would join here.
Yup, it’s their chance to win something out of the thing they love to do most. π
I have never used wechat nor do I know what it is. . . but I will definitely look it up and maybe even post my selfie O:)
WeChat is a communications tool that is installed in mobile phones. If you’re using a smart phone, feel free to download and install the app. It’s helpful and useful in most occasions.
I haven’t tried this yet. But a few friends introduce me about wechat, now you just convince me to use wechat π I want to be a rock star so bad even if its on the net π
Yeah rock on! I like the attitude. π
I read that PH is the selfie capital of the world so this came on a good timing.
Oh, is it? Wow, thanks for the trivia! I’m not sure if it’s something to be proud of though. π
Right! It’s not. Haha! π
Great way to promote WeChat as we’re living in a selfie loving country.
This is not the first time when I’m hearing contests that involve selfies. I think this is just fun.
That’s a great news for wechat users I guess.I just recently joined wechat.
Hooray! The next step is to explore the app and if you have the time (and the guts, I have to add), then join this promo. π
I’m sure there will be a lot of selfie go-getters. This webchat promo will paint the town red.
Yes, it’s the latest buzz right now in social media! π
Though selfies have been overused, it still captures moments of our lives.
Yup, the word has been added to the English dictionary so I believe it will go a long way.
Sayang, I don’t use WeChat π
There’s no saying to never anyway. You can try using WeChat and see how it empowers your communication online while mobile.
At least those selfies are being put to good use.
WeChat’s certainly maximizing them.
Yup, it seems that people are not getting tired of posting selfies riddled with hashtags online. This is a good marketing technique for WeChat.
I’ve only tried WeChat recently but have never tried posting a selfie on that platform. This is certainly one good reason to try it out.
I’m glad to hear that you’re open to trying. The instructions are simple anyway. I know you can do it! π
Selfie contest is really getting popular huh.. I will not be shocked if more other contest about selfie will emerge but if everybody is happy with that, and with all the prize given – good for them. Hehe
Yup, it’s so easy to take selfies and monopods do help a lot in taking photos if you want to include more of the background. π This is a great deal for both end users and WeChat.
Wow! This contest is interesting! I use WeChat every once in a while and it’s fun! π
Everyone has his/her own favorite feature in WeChat. My sister uses the stickers most. π
This would also increase the awareness on WeChat as well.
Definitely, it will. More and more people turn to social media and share photos to interact with others. WeChat is another good channel to do this.
Wahaha! how i wish I have the guts to do this thing. probably the TEENS are the ones that will hit this contest.
Oh I’m sure they will send out the most number of entries! π
Still no Wechat app π But the idea of selfie contest will gain more people downloading the app.
Yes. Why not try it some time? π WeChat is cool and fun.
This looks so much fun!
I’m already excited and interested to see the submissions of users. It will be thrilling to judge and decide who’s going to be the winner as well! π
I think I need to download weChat na kasi lagi na ko may ka chat sa FB, I think it’s more fun sa weChat.
Yeah especially if you’re more of a mobile phone user, you now have to individually install the FB Messenger to chat with friends on FB. WeChat is another good option.
Seems like a pretty cool app and fun to use!
Yup. I hope many people will participate. Imagine – by just striking poses with “believable” facial expressions, one can be the next star!
Interesting. I will try WeChat hopefully one of these days and.. uhmm join that selfie contest π
Yay! I would love to see how you showcase your creativity for this one.
I heard a lot of great reviews about WeChat. I don’t mind taking my own selfie but I don’t have WeChat account yet. I will do the surprised look.
I’ll look forward to seeing you win this. Best of luck to you, Jhady! π
Sounds like a cool app, but not something I would download or use.
OK. You can share the promo to friends. Maybe it’s something that they will be interested about. π
This is a really cool promo and it’s great that WeChat is giving everybody a chance to be a part of their TVC
Yup, this can be an open door for those who are wanting to shine and be discovered as a professional model. π
Wow! How fun is this! Selfies are so fun to take and look at. Thanks for sharing this and I”ll check into it!.
Some people are annoyed by selfies but some don’t mind. Just take it lightly hehe.
It’s good to know that WeChat keeps on having great promotions for all their users. This will encourage more people to use the app π
If they continue to do this, their promos and activities would certainly gain attention from majority of apps users.
Nice! haha It’s like doing a VTR/go-see for a commercial shoot or ad campaign but through a selfie. LOL Not bad huh? π
Haha yup. It’s cool that you don’t have to queue with a lot of people physically (stressful and pressuring).
This apps looks cool, will try when i get back in the Philippines
You can try it now ’cause WeChat can be accessed everywhere as long as you have your smartphone and Internet connection. π
