Before, I was asked what I would do if I'm very rich and have 10 million pesos that I have to spend within 24hrs.
"Bibigay ko sa eheads para mag-concert sila uli for the last time..." I replied.
Then it did happen. Not that I became rich, but the Eraserheads, once again, ruled the stage. Dalawang beses pa!
Then I found out through blogs that many eheads fanatic thought the same plan if they have that sum of money.
Last week, I realized that the domain www.eraserheads.com is still available and I instantly wanted to own it. I want to create a tribute website for the band. Some fantastic design played in my brain and I got very excited.
...so I emailed BuyDomains.com, the company that currently owns and sells the domain name. Malakas ang loob ko kasi usually you can buy domain names for as low as P500 and even if it's worth P5000, I will buy it I thought.
After a week, a reply came and found myself knocked down in disbelief.
$29,000.00!!!
More than a million pesos!
That is when I realized:
- why the (now defunct) official eraserheads website (www.eheads-online.com) is not www.eraserheads.com
- why of all the millions of fans of eraserheads, no one can afford it
- that the P500 domain name I was talking about was either your name or some unfamous words, in short: no value
- that no way I can afford that domain name that I'm sure thousands of eheads fanatic also wanted to buy.
- that if I'm very rich at may sobrang P1,392,000 (if $1=P48) ang pera ko, I will definitely purchase that www.eraserheads.com
