Philippine Airlines had a fun Twitter game yesterday. As prize, they gave out 100 silver tickets for Katy Perry's concert at SM Mall of Asia tomorrow. I know, right? That's a great prize.
The rules were simple. Only one tweet per person per hour, from 13:00 to 22:00 (last tweet at 22:59) will qualify. 2 or more tweets per hour will disqualify your entries.

I've been seeing the game on my timeline since yesterday after lunch. But I was really not interested with it as I was still at work and I could not be bothered to read the mechanics and join. When I got home, I was surprised to see the game still on-going. So, almost 2 hours before the end of the hourly game, I joined; both entries I made were almost at the close of the voting hours. I won on the last voting hour, my entry just made it through. Then, I forgot all about it, not even knowing I won. Apparently, the winners for the last voting hour was announced around 3:00 am or something. So, I was really surprised to know that I won! I won! Me, who never really wins at raffles! Imagine that!
Well, my dilemma now is this. I don't even like Katy Perry and I don't like going to concerts. But my mother does. I joined thinking if I win, I'd give her the ticket. But she can't go on her own, you know. So I have to buy a silver ticket which is around Php 1500 plus VAT and service charge (almost 1700). There goes away my money. Haha! [ETA: I bought 2 more silver tickets]
Anyway, whether I am a fan of Katy Perry is immaterial. It won't take away the fact that I've won and that I'm so happy to have won! Thanks, @FlyPAL! I hope your contests will continue to have simple, no-fuss rules! Thanks again!
Oh, my winning entry is this: I love My PAL @flyPAL because PAL'S FAs are cute and they serve you w/a smile! #iLovePAL #PALgivesKatyPerryTix
Yay!
