Lotto 6/55

A few days ago, I got the verbal confirmation of the job offered to me by that lame call center in Las Pinas. I passed a 3 months of processing which includes an initial interview w/ HR, another interview with the training manager, a demo, a module creation, and a final interview with the Vice President for ASEAN HR or something. I passed. I don't know, but any trainer who went through any "trainer application process" would find this weird. Reason why I striven through all the bullshit was, I liked the job. Imagine: A Corporate Trainer for Leadership Development. Wow, right? But going back to the verbal offer, at first, I thought everything was a joke. 18k/month. WTF! I didn't have any other back up plans so I said yes after a lot of failed negotiating. 

Feeling like shit, on the way home, I said, "If I didn't need the money, this would be a tremendous break." It's not the usual Voice and Accent New Hire training stuff that I usually did, this was different and cool. Training is my passion and I don't want to do anything else for a living. (Except maybe I become a judge for Talentadong Pinoy of Pilipinas Got Talent, or become a very successful professional photographer who earns a lot). But I need money. To eat, to sleep, for the bills, for my love-ones, etc. It was so, crappy that all the way home, I was asking for a miracle. I suddenly thought: LOTTO. Haha. Pathetic, but I gave it a try anyways. 

I marked 6 numbers and paid 20p for the ticket. Made me feel a bit better. Having a 1:25,000,000 of a chance is not that bad, and I thought at least, I have a chance. Better than having no chance at all. The stakes were at  634 million pesos. I know, right? 634 million pesos! I bet on numbers 2-10-16-17-26-45 by the way. I thought that if I won, I wont need the money anymore and thus, work in my new job with peace and harmony.

What would you do if you won that sum'a money? What could possibly happen to your life?

Imagine how amazing it would be to finally having an escape to working your ASS off everyday to save a few hundred of pesos each payday for your future. And here in the Philippines, when I say "future" that means FAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR FAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR future. Stupid. Life here in the Philippines is stupid. And the money that you save for ten years may not even be enough to buy you a small house. That's why so many Filipinos try their luck in other countries. Anywhere else. But here.


To make the long story short, after a few nights of wishful thinking and daydreaming of what I would do if I were a multi-millionaire, I woke up, hearing from the news that nobody won.

So, anyway, it would be nice to have won and bought these things:

nice huh? and the rest, I will give to my family and my best friend. think nof how many lifespans I need to buy these stuff if I were just to save money as I am now, earning 18k per month.
