Wield this blade with pride, the fire in your hand is only as strong as the fire in your heart.

Game of Chance

A lot of Filipinos leave their lives to chance.  They would gamble their meager income just in case they’ll win.  That’s the reason why lottery is very popular especially the impoverished neighborhood.  People are expecting that if they get lucky, they’ll be instant millionaires.

I don't believe in the game of chance. That’s why I don’t gamble.  I would rather buy or eat something with the money that is intended for the gambling. Besides, gambling is addictive.  A lot of lives and families were ruined due to gambling.  

The first thing I'd do after winning the lottery is...

However, if I ever win a lottery, the first thing that I'd do is to buy a condo unit at The Fort, build a house in Iloilo, invest in a sustainable business (in Iloilo), the rest will be deposited in my bank as savings for my old age.  I don’t intend to tell everyone including my siblings that I won a lottery. That’s because people around you tend to have an entitlement attitude towards your winning.  It is better not to let them know so that they wouldn’t ask for ‘balato’.
