Dearest Philip,

    Here’s a photograph of our new house, pretty isn’t it? Reply when you recieve this letter. We have a new address, but that’s obvious isn’t it? I hope to see you soon.

                                                                                                        Yours,
                                                                                                        Annie

My darling Annie,

    I got your letter. The house is nice. I will try to be there in a month. It’s hard not having you around, it always is; but I’ll manage.

                                                                                        Wishing you’re near,
                                                                                                             Philip

1 vs 100

1vs100

Mr. Ariel Rodriguez from ABS CBN
contacted me on short notice last week if I could join their new gameshow: 1 vs
100. At first I was reluctant since most of my friends don’t want to join me
but my "game" attitude got the best of me; SO… I’M GOING TO BE SEEN
ON NATIONAL TV! (I think).

The game involves a
"1" who in this case is Mariel Rodriguez who needs to beat the
"100" or "the mob" which includes me to win 2,000,000
pesos. Every question has a corresponding amount of money and is multiplied by
the number of people in the mob that got a wrong answer and is eliminated. The
mob only has 6 seconds to answer trivia ranging from the Paris Hilton perfume to the fattest of Snow White’s dwarves.

I went to the station with my
friend kuya Janus who I manipulated into joining, hahaha. I got the first
question wrong, what do I care what Filipinos offer to Santa Clara for her to stop rain? Can she in
the first place?! Good thing the question was removed for typographical errors:
AND YOU"LL BE SEEING ME THE WEEK AFTER!

Only 8 of us from the mob made
it through to next week. I was disappointed that I won no money though; Mariel
took the money instead of trying to beat us 8. And all I won is just a T-shirt as
one of the “unbeatables”. Oh well. Thought you guys should know I might appear
on the show next Saturday, September 8 since Mariel addressed me often as “the
Physics teacher” to which Edu promptly corrects with “Physics major”. I might
also be seen the week after, but the taping is this Saturday since they’re 2
weeks advanced so I still don’t know.

Pffft! Physics teacher. They wish.
Hahaha!
