Then the next thing I did? I googled that "CASH online promotion" thing they're trying to talk about. And if it were true I would have fainted. But I wasn't surprised to know it's actually...


A SPAM!! 
A frustratingly freakin' SPAM!

 Well, nice try there though!

And then everything started to sink in...If only I was a millionaire.. I would surely finish my medical course and then build a hospital.. Big dream it is..=D

So take this as a precaution: These spam emails usually ask for money to give you the cash prize and in return, you actually get nothing. So take it, or...

FORGET ABOUT IT!

Because even if you're email is perfectly filtered from spam contents, there are still those who can crawl through and that email above is such an oh! so perfect example. 

OFF TO YOU:
If you were a millionaire, what would you be doing and why?

  1. I wouldn't want to be an instant millionaire. Lifestyle change is so stressful ya know. But that's not the greatest reason. If I were a millionaire, i wouldn't enjoy normal people's company the way i enjoy now. I wouldn't feel how it is to be hungry, to be thirsty and to look for something better than it should be. Most of all, I wouldn't know how it is to be human like how it has always been...with friends and family...*char.com*
