My Dream Job

Everything that became big started with a vision.  2014 was very tough for me when it comes to my job or business. The joy seems to be gone and it is so hard to go on if you already fall out of love or have a broken heart. There is hope in 2015 as I want to reinvent myself and  really pursue things that would really make me happy.  So I asked myself several questions to know what is in my heart or in my mind.  Today, I am going to answer what is my ideal job.

My dream job is to basically write and travel.  I want to promote my city and my country. I want to write about how fun and beautiful it is in the Philippines.  I want to see the sights and take awesome pictures. I wanna experience the festivals and show the world that it is super fun here.  I want to showcase local goods and services and somehow show others that Filipinos can create something spectacular. I want to show how delicious our food. I want to give useful information and highlight the good side of my country.

I may not have the funds now but if I ever I have enough I would surely buy tickets, a good camera, and a sturdy travelling bag. That is my dream job.  To be a full-time blogger/writer/photographer/social media marketer. I will start small. I will start with the little resource that I have and develop my skills.  Who knows, an opportunity might come sooner than expected.

I will pray that this will happen and I would really spread the word that my dream job started with answering a simple question.  How about you, have ever thought of your dream job?

My Alternate Universe

I believe that we can exist in many planes of existence. The real world is stressful and most of the time, imperfect. Sometimes, we all wish to be different or to be someone else. Many of us would want to escape and live the life that we thought is perfect.  We can actually do that, it is called Fiction. that is why movie makers and writers make a lot of money via fiction because it solves the desire to break away from a seemingly problematic life.  In fiction, everything is possible. As in everything.  Unlike in real life where the term everything is possible is becoming a cliche, in fiction, it is the norm. 

For 2015, this blog is all about fiction. This all about exploring the what ifs and what could have beens. I would not be writing so much here unless I want to explore a different possibility. Hopefully, this blog will be about sensational possibilities.  It will be about miracles, prayers, and how long shots can change the world. 

I am just write whatever stories that pop up in mind and hopefully, it can help anyone who has the time to read this in a way nonsensical blog. This is a challenge to show if I can really write the weird things that I sometimes wished to be real. 

Welcome to the fictional world of Carlo Andrew Olano.

Buying a VW

If I win the lotto, I will probably but a Volkswagen.  Whether it would be a Polo, Jetta, Beetle, Tuoran, Passat, or Touareg, I really wanna buy one.  VW has a sentimental value to me. My first sales job was in Volkswagen dealership way back. I have mastered the features of these cars and I have dreamed of buying one someday.

Recently, I found out that Volkswagen cars are being sold now in Cebu.  The Iconic Dealership has a display in Ayala Center Cebu.  They are also planning to have a showroom in the North Reclamation Area near SM City Cebu.

Here are 5 good reasons why I'll buy a VW when I win the lotto:

5. Sentimental Value - I have loved these cars for years already and I have somehow followed its development over the years.
4. TDI - Most models sold here in the Philippines would have diesel engines.  The diesel-powered VWs could run around 13 kilometers per liter in the city and could reach 20 km/l in the highway.  Fuel savings will be worth it.  Even with the TDI badge, a Jetta would still be a the perfect sports sedan mixing economy with the fun to drive factor.
3. German Engineering - The Germans are really proud of their cars.  They are known to be more reliable and durable.  German cars usually last longer...Old VW Beetle for example. ;)
2. Design - VW does not change bodies as often unlike other brands that seems to change their car model's looks year after year making the past year's model become "old" immediately.
1. Uniqueness - The Beetle has always been a head turner. In fact my wife would want a VW Beetle Cabriolet if its is available. Since only a few own a VW right now in Cebu, having one would a statement. It is the type of car you will buy to stand out. It is like saying to people "I bought a VW because I can...".

I would really buy at least one when I win the lottery, you better watch out. ;)

Lucky winner wins 215M 6/55 Jackpot

A lucky lotto bettor is now 215 Million Pesos richer as he or she becomes the lone winner of the jackpot of tonight's 6/55 draw.  Finally, somebody won.  I wonder if that person know already.  The winning combination is 04-52-55-38-46-08 .  If you happen to be the winner well I am willing to accept any amount as balato. Congratulations to you!

I did not win today but I will not stop preparing for the day that I will win to arrive.  The odds are so slim but we are all free to dream and to think positive.  Anybody can win in any day so I will never discount the possibility that I would win.

Still NO Winner for 6/55 Draw!! Jackpot to reach 180M

The 6/55 jackpot survived another draw. The latest winning combination was 2-54-6-32-24-25 (6/18/2014). The jackpot then was Php167,654,824.  Well, the pot is getting bigger and bigger and if you win it, you are one really lucky person.

What would you do if you hit the jackpot? Would you give your friends some balato? I asked my friends what would I give them if I hit the jackpot:

Lotlot and Angela said: Hummer!
Ayeen wants House and Lot and a Toyota Prado.
Rose said she will buy jewelries.
Clyde would want guitars.
Nezte will ask for condos.

It's easy to imagine what to buy when money will not be an issue.  A lot of us becomes very impractical when something is for FREE. Winning the lottery has a big responsibility coming with it. Can you imagine how many people would ask something from you? Do you think you can be so generous with your winnings? What do you think? Would even let anyone know?

If I were a lotto winner, I would really give back something to many people.  I do not like the idea of keeping everything to myself.  I would probably not tell them that I won because news will spread fast but I would give them something. Something really really specially. I could buy someone a house, a car, or even even invest in a business.  I would probably start a company and employ some friends and family. In a way, I would let them somehow earn it as if I did not give it to them directly.

It is fun imagine this scenario but this could happen early next week. What do you think???

Philippines 6/55 Grand Lotto Jackpot to reach over 150 Million Pesos

In the 6/55 Lottery draw last Saturday, the estimated jackpot if there was a winner was over 148 Million Pesos.  That is around $3.7 Million.  In America, that would not be so big but in the Philipines, you can live like a king for years with that money. The winning numbers were 12-17-37-48-43-34. And guess what??? Nobody won!

The next draw will be tomorrow. A 20-peso bet (2 quarters in dollars)  could win you around 160 Million pesos or $4 Million. What can you do with a 160 Million bucks???  That is basically the inspiration of this blog. This blog is all about preparing myself in case I win tomorrow night.

What would be the first thing I buy?
Will I tell anybody I won?
How the heck would I claim the prize?

So many possibilities but you have to be ready for inevitability of winning the lottery. heheheh
