AND SO I WON...
This may come as a surprise to everyone. I kept silent about it for months, but I guess there's no use hiding the truth. I won P25,000.00 as a homepartner in a noontime show contest last February 25, 2006. Only those who were able to watch that episode know this. Thing is, I haven't received the prize.
Beginner's luck, so they say. One neighbor who saw my name on her TV screen even told me that she's been trying her luck for years but to no avail. I find it funny and embarassing actually. While some people bury their heads in their work table just to get a better wage, in just one text, I already got legal rights to claim P25,000.00. I had planned everything on how I am supposed to budget the money. However, it has been almost three months but no one has called me yet when to claim the prize. I called to follow-up but they just told me to wait.
I am in no way maligning the program. As a matter of fact, it is still my favorite show to watch during lunchtime. I am not even complaining. Even if I'm in a tight budget right now, I can't get angry. God is good! We can still eat three full meals a day. Yes, I'm a bit disappointed because I need money for the books and some stuff that I need for this difficult challenge I am into right now, and asking money from my parents would be the last option. However, just thinking of the idea that not all people are given such opportunity, all I have to do is wait and still be grateful. While winning in a game of chance is quite an experience, waiting for the prize to reach your hand is another story.
