The notebook that got away
I told you before that part of the perks for writing a tech blog is you get to be invited to cover gadget events and launches. And usually these events have giveaways and raffles for the media and guests.
Earlier there were two events happening at the same time. One was the Samsung notebook launch and the other one was the launch of the LG Optimus. Our plan was to go to Samsung, stay for a bit, take photos and the press kit then catch up at the LG event.
There was a raffle at the Samsung event (as usual) but I didn’t bother waiting for it. I already won the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 netbook recently so I can’t be that lucky right?
It turned out that I still had some luck running. After the LG event, I was told that I won something at the Samsung event. I don’t believe it at first because it’s a typical joke for members of the press who leave an event early because only those present at that time can win stuff.
Initial news was that I won another netbook. It’s ok, I got the IdeaPad S10-3. But it turned out that it’s a 14-inch Core i3 Samsung R480 laptop worth Php45k. Ack!!! Hahaha. I hope this would not count in the number of luck per year that I have left. =P
Calvin. *boink*
Nakakapanghinayang but it was not mine to lose anyway. Although I could use it to get me a DSLR. Or to help pay for a really big purchase that we’re planning to do real soon (for another post).
