OMG Big-time Help From A Friend « John Raul dot Com

Update: HP has already released the list of winners.

You can watch the Tech Conclave video or read the article here.

You know in the past two weeks I’ve drawn my focus to campaigning for my video entry for HP You on You contest in YouTube. I really want to win because the prizes can improve my life, the lives of people directly attached to me online or offline, and my show, Tech Conclave.

Last night, I got a big surprise from my online friend named Bryce whom I met through a podcast and owns a tech reviews blog called Bilsta57. He has been helping me campaigning for my video entry in the past few days and last night he made me stunned and totally shocked when he announced on Twitter that he will do an iPhone 3GS giveaway if I ever win the HP contest. That’s extremely generous. I’m not even an iPhone owner myself nor can afford to buy it. He literally made me cry and my parents were very pleased as well. It’s just unbelievable for me: I’ve never encountered a compassion or help yet that big in my personal life. Bryce actually doesn’t actually talk or chat with me as my other closer friends do and I don’t even know what he looks like, so I firmly believe that his help is extremely sincere.

At the moment, I only have the chance to win the Community Award because my video wasn’t selected as one of the 24 finalists.

Check out his announcement and the video he created for his intent to help. I cannot campaign for his cause because it may cast doubts to HP that I’m violating the rules of contest (an accusation that can easily be thrown at me).  If you ever support his intent to help me, thank you in advance for all your thumbs up votes and ratings. I just hope I was able to inspire you with my video entry. To Bryce, man, I cannot express how grateful I am for this act. It’s life-changing.
