Just Got Lucky: My 2016 Winnings

The year 2016 was lucky for me. Lucky in the sense that I won several prizes (thanks to the raffles I joined) and gained new friends who have very infectious energy and passion in what they do.

It was in the first half of 2016 that I experienced a winning streak. For three straight months, I won prizes. Although no money was involved, I still feel blessed for all that I received.

If I remember right, my first winning happened in March. There was this summer party event in Damosa with some celebrities as guests and I wanted my teen son to go there because it was a party with DJs providing live music (which he love). I happened to visit an online magazine sort of website focusing on Davao City and it was giving away free tickets via a raffle. I signed up and eventually won one ticket which I gave to my son (supportive mom here). I was glad he had a great time there and even took selfies with celebrities like Sam Pinto and Martin del Rosario.

In the month of April, I also won a prize during the 70th anniversary celebration of Mindanao Times (where I used to work) at the Royal Mandaya Hotel. My name was picked when it was time to give away flat irons (plantsa). Yey!! The major prize that night was a large (forgot the size) flat-screen  TV which Boy Lim (local photographer) won.

Thank you Mindanao Times.
