It was the night of September 3, 2009 when I learned that I won the SKT T1 shirt raffle. I did not even think twice and immediately sent the $50 to lilsusie... I was so excited!
More than 2 months now and yet I’m still longing for my SKT T1 shirt, my bunkie doll, and to an autograph from an SKT T1 player 
People say that if someone sends you something thru the post office, it would arrive in your local post office and the post office would inform you about the package thru a letter (snail mail). But until now, I haven’t received any letter from them. We already went to our local post last month and they asked for a tracking number of the package. Unfortunately, the package has no tracking number as lilsusie used the cheapest possible way to ship the package – through their national post.
The local post office said that normally it would take 2-3 months to receive the package if the shipping cost is cheap. It may also take more time since Christmas is near, plus there were a lot of holidays last September and the typhoons. But I wonder… how far exactly is Philippines from Korea? Would it really take that long?
I was hoping that it would arrive before my birthday last October… but now I am hoping that it would arrive before Christmas as my gift. But at the back of my mind, I am already losing hope. If I had known that this thing would happen, I should have paid for the cost of a more expensive courier.
It really sucks to live in a third world country - this is only in the Philippines. I’m guessing that other TL members who won the raffle didn’t have this same experience.
I hope I can go to Korea next year and buy all SKT T1 mementos that I want in real time. 
(EDIT) UPDATE: It's been more than 10 months and my package from lilsusie is still missing. I don't think it will still arrive. Plus, we'll be moving to Canada in weeks from now. I just hope that there would still be similar promos like this in the future and hopefully I could still participate, and this time the package would be sent to Canada, and not in a country with a very bad system in the postal office like the Philippines.
To lilsusie - my apologies for all your worries and all my PMs regarding this package. Thank you so much that you put effort and time for this kind of raffle/promo.

Your sarcastic post would have been more effective if you spelt the word 'hiring' properly

I feel terrible.
I would refund you the money if I was a business but being that everyone else's shirts found them ok, I shouldn't have to be responsible for it. I also can't buy another one for you to buy since T1 doesn't have anymore.
It could have been because of the typhoon - I'm not sure if I've mailed anything else to anyone in the Philippines but next time, I guess I can give the option for people to utilize the more expensive shipping so that they can track it next time.
I'm really sorry - I truly hope that it will miraculously show up somewhere...

Did you confirm the address with lilsusie? There might be some scrub walking around in your shirt...

omg..
I hope it didn't get washed up during Ketsena. You were expecting it to arrive before October and Ketsena dropped by on September 26 :O. Hope your shirt is still somewhere, intact, safe, clean, waiting to be delivered.

Your sarcastic post would have been more effective if you spelled the word 'spelled' properly.

Actually I think no sarcastic posts would be effective at all since SlayerS_BunkiE is being really professional and nice about all this.

Fixed.
But for real, just wait. Your shirt will get to you, just like how the other shirts found their new homes.

Actually,
+ Show Spoiler +ESSENTIAL AND NON-ESSENTIAL EXPRESSIONS
An essential expression/element affects the basic meaning of the sentence whereas a non-essential one does not. AVOID surrounding essential elements with commas. Placing commas on either side of a non-essential expression indicates that the information within the commas may be informative but not crucial.
Note: Reserve the pronoun that to introduce essential elements and the pronoun which to introduce non-essential ones. The pronoun who can introduce both types.
Examples:
Collin Creek Mall, which was built in 1980, has enjoyed nearly two decades of prosperous growth.
The suburban mall that has enjoyed the most prosperous growth in Texas is Collin Creek.
Jane Smith, who is usually never at a loss for words, struggled to remember her lines during her acting debut.
The actress who is usually never at a loss for words is Jane Smith.
So the second comma technically shouldn't be in the sentence.

Actually, using the word actually as the first word in a sentence, you must use a comma after it because it is an introductory word or whatever. You useput a comma in the second part because both parts are interchangeable.
Hmmm...

You need commas to cordon off non-essential sections of a sentence; that is, sections which do not affect the sentence's meaning significantly. "since SlayerS_BunkiE is being really professional and nice about all of this" is an essential part of the sentence; therefore, it doesn't need a comma in front of it.
