Yesterday I learned that a friend has got himself a new car. It was just less than a year when he bought a Ford Escape and now he already have a Toyota Fortuner. Amazed, and sorta envy (haha, not much), I approached and asked him how did he managed to buy a new car for just a year, considering that he is just a working student who earns less than me. He then told me it was luck that gave him a new car. Seriously, I have a hard time believing in whatever he said because he has this reputation of saying things that are not true. Luck? How I wish I am as lucky as he is. He narrated what happened.
He said he was doing his regular grocery one day, about 6 months ago in one of the biggest convenience store in the country. He was a coupon upon paying at the counter, wrote his name, address, number and eventually dropped in onto the drop box. He said he just ignored it because contests like those always happen but he was never a lucky man to win them.
After six months, a guy called him announcing he won. He was shock at the news and rushed to the nearest branch of the store to confirm his winning. And indeed, he won. Lucky guy indeed.
Coincidentally, I needed a few stocks and went on the store, and saw his name, printed in bold, in all capital letters, that he really won the car. Yay, he really is a lucky guy.
In case you don't know, Toyota Fortuner is one of the prettiest SUV ever built. Having been designed along with comrade Toyota Hilux Pickup, Fortuner is a true blue king of the road. With its tall body and protruding metallic muscles really showcase its greatness in physical appearance and in performance. Toyota Fortuner is an SUV available only in Asia, Africa and Latin America, at least that is what Madame Wikipedia told me.
