Now, Imagine your life if you are in his position of owning/having earned $62 billion dollars. What would your normal daily life be? Would it be normal in the first place?
Me? I'd travel and circumnavigate the world! Backpacking/Travelling is my frustration. And ofcourse, I wanted to be the first Filipino to go to the moon! $62 billion is more than enough for me to be able to go to the moon, right? Hehehe!!!

ReplyDeleteThere daily life is not what we think of. Remember my mga jet yan, may mga business all over the world. Who knows at this time and hour nasa alapaap yan papuntang Japan meeting people after another hour papunta na naman yan sa Sweden hay nakakaumay naman diba? Ang gusto ko ako ang heiress hehe.
ReplyDeleteBack to the question...I don't think having that kind of money I will do blogging hahahaha. I don't think I knew what ordinary people are doing and I don't even think I appreciate the beauty of nature. Wonder ko nga if they have a normal life like us. If they sleep like us na parang baby at kung mag snore parang asong ulol hahaha.
