i should have been a millionaire yesterday.

i watched the saturday edition of Pilipinas, GAME K N B? yesterday and Kris Aquino (wearing a, i kid you not, long pink gown because its Chinese New Year and its supposed to bring good luck blah blah blah)…anyway, Kris revealed the 1-million peso question and without batting an eyelash i screamed out the answer.

Kris: Here’s your question. Anong hayop ang tinatawag na Lady of the Sea?

me: dugong! dugong!! DUGONG!!! (note the increase of intensity).

contestant: dugong?

Kris: sure ka na ba?

contestant: sure na.

(Kris cues in for a commercial)

me: bilis hulaan mo rin yung sagot!

geebee: fish?

me: nge! mag-isip ka naman!

geebe: jellyfish.

me: basta ako dugong! dugong!

(Kris welcomes back her audience and repeats the question)

Kris: …..at ang tamang sagot ay…DUGONG! (she screams out the answer like her throat will be ripped out due to the intensity).

contestant: ………………………. (at this point, the contestant is speechless and is doing jumping jacks and flailing her arms like an idiot).

me: sabi ko na! tama ako! tama ako! TAMA AKO!

(i run out of our flat to my mom’s house to tell her i ansered the 1-million peso question)

so there, i should have been a millionaire yesterday. matter of fact, i should have been a multi-millionaire. that is the 5th 1-million peso question i was able to answer correctly. gah.

i think its a sign.

i should shun away any jologs thoughts and text my name and address to that damned gameshow and wait for a call that will transport me to a world of color coded pyramids, automatic swipes, silly questions, korek! and million-peso dreams.

now, if only i could buy some credit for my phone to get me started.

this is currently keeping me awake and entertained during my mundane hours at the office, thanks to you.

this is cool. i went, “damn!” after clicking on the submit button.

yesterday was the last day for applying for the Citibank Credit Card. i had a vague recollection that the last day was supposed to be on the 30th. i was fooled. i wasn’t able to submit my application. i guess its another sign. oh well, seems like imma push through with the equitable card application form that’s been gathering dust under my desk.

its my day off in a few hours. il finish watching House of Wax once i get home and then hit the sack.

it will be another comatose sunday.
