You won the raffle for the The Alps ticket for two at the SM Imax Theater on August 4 at 5:30PM

That was a part of the email I got from Noemi. Now this got me very excited for two reasons.

First reason would be because this is the first time I have actually won in a raffle! Yeah, pathetic it may seem.

Oh, I did win some packs of soup during a Taste Asia blog event last year. Not that I really won but they had so many things to give away, I just had to be given one.

And there was this shirt raffled off during the iBlog4 event. The shirt I got was the second to the last to be given away. How did my name surface? It was because the name called for that shirt left already so my name was called instead.

I don’t even win in cake raffles.

Not even when in one school that i used to teach, they had so many gifts to be raffled during the teachers’ Christmas Party. The other preschool teachers won big prizes like a television set, and an oven toaster. What did I get? A fruit cake inside a wonderfully and cheerfully decorated golden box.

To say that I do not even eat fruit cake should give a hint at how I felt during that time. No kidding.

Second reason for me to be excited is because I haven’t been to the SM Mall of Asia IMAX Theater. Yeah, poor me, who confesses to love watching movies.

We do love movies but since movie watching has become expensive these days and there are five of us who will watch, we just have to be content waiting for the DVD release. Its not just the movie tickets that we have to buy. There’s food, parking fee, gasoline and other stuff that the kids might ask from hubby or me. We could have paid for acne treatments for my eldest daughter with those expenses.

Even if we are the last persons on earth who haven’t watch a specific movie everyone except us is raving about. still we wait.

Of course, there are movies worth watching on the big screen so we just have to wait for the right movie if we have to watch our budget.

I can’t wait to watch The Alps on August 4, at the IMAX Theater in SM Mall of Asia.
