Lucky Girl

Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog. I hope you have fun wasting your time reading about me. I think it’s just appropriate that I share this story as my first post. I’ve been feeling lucky these past couple of weeks. Before it all started, I don’t think I’ve ever won a thing in my life. But last month, to keep myself preoccupied, I started joining contests and raffles. You see, after our Revalida, all I ever did was watch TV and surf the internet. Strangely enough, I won really cool prizes along the way.

The first thing I joined and won was the Closeup Lovapalooza diamond necklace. I know, it’s ‘baduy’. But I really wanted the necklace and I thought it was highly unlikely I’d win so I joined anyway. I found out the mechanics at the last day and it required a picture of Trix and I kissing. All I could find was one with me kissing him on the cheek from one of our prenup pics at the W@W party, so that’s what I sent. A couple of days later, I got a call from someone from Closeup telling me that we were one of the 100 couples who had won and we had to attend the party to get the necklace or it would be forfeited. I told Trix I’d kill him if he didn’t come with me and with a lot of resentment, he did. Here’s the necklace.

A few days later, I got a call from an anonymous number. This is how I recall it.

girl: Hi, I’m Aine from Studio 23 and I just want to tell you that we’ve already chosen the winner of the Studio 23 Barkada Gimik Promo (pause) and Congratulations, we’re sending you and two of your friends to Vietnam!
me: Ha? (screams)

I’m not going into detail how I reacted to that call because frankly, it’s embarrassing. I’m sure ate Aine gets more or less the same reaction whenever she notifies the winners. I’ll tell you guys more about the trip later but for now, watch the post-event plug, courtesy of ate Sarge.
