Woman Marries Man She Met Online, Discovers He’s Secretly Rich

One woman married a guy she had met online and had a relationship for just 5 months, but she would be quite surprised to discover that he’s actually been keeping a big secret from her: he’s crazy rich!

Nguyen Van Anh, a Vietnamese woman, looks gorgeous and has had a lot of admirers even when she was in school, yet she never really got interested in any of these guys. For most of her adult life, she was single.

After graduating from Hanoi University of Science and Technology in 2015, she became a successful career woman. She felt there was something ‘missing’ in her life, yet she didn’t know what it was.

In May 2016, she was just browsing through an idol’s Facebook page when she spotted a man in the background. She doesn’t even know the guy but she felt the urge to message her idol about him, asking for an introduction to this stranger.

The said idol’s curiosity was probably piqued by Nguyen’s question and got the two together. The man was Dang Tuan. The two would soon connect on social media and a whirlwind romance began, despite the distance between them; while Nguyen lives in Vietnam, Dang is based in Russia.

By November, the two were officially a couple. They loved talking to each other and spent hours on the phone. After 5 months of the long-distance relationship, they decided to get married.

Nguyen’s parents disapproved of the union, especially because they feel that the two do not really know each other that much. Dang flew to Vietnam and eventually convinced Nguyen’s parents that he’s truly in love with their daughter and was determined to spend the rest of his life with her.

Now that they had her parents’ blessing, the couple began their wedding preparations – while Nguyen was prepared to have a simple wedding, she was surprised at the lavish plans her would-be husband made. She discovered that he’s actually very rich business who manages a popular international brand.

The two got married in a 5-star hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam last April 2017 and are now based in Russia.

Dang admitted he hid his wealth on purpose because he didn’t want this to affect the course of their relationship – and he was finally able to find a woman who loved him for what he was, not because he was crazy rich!

Guy Tries Viral “Inverter Hack”, Ends Up with 9k Bill




A guy tries the viral “inverter hack” but instead of saving money, he ended up with a ₱9k electric bill! Ouch.

Viral “Inverter Hack” Goes Wrong, Guy Gets ₱9k Bill

There are lots of viral “life hacks” on the internet, but not all of them actually work or are true.

Many of these “hacks” can cost you a lot of money or even end up getting you in trouble (like the teens who tried the viral “overbaggage” hack).

Recently, netizen Rheez Ramos tried out a supposed life hack using an inverter air conditioner.

According to this supposed life hack, you need to keep the air conditioning unit on, and only turn it off once a week. It’s supposed to make your electric bill go down.

Without checking the veracity of the viral hack or monitoring their electricity consumption, Ramoa blindly followed the “hack.”

Imagine his shock when the bill arrived — and it was for over ₱9,000!

He said that their usual bill was just around ₱3,000 but it has skyrocketed to 3x the amount because of the fake “life hack.”

He jokingly posted on social media to find the person who made the misleading hack — and I would probably try to actually find that person if I were in his shoes!

Paying 3x your regular bill is not a joke, though netizens also slammed him for not using science to realize that the “hack” was fake.

Have you also fallen for a fake life hack on social media?

How To Determine If A “Life Hack” Is Real Or Not

This is actually easier said than done because many of these supposed life hacks have very convincing photos, videos, or stories.

Here are some ways to avoid getting duped:

  • Try to check the comments section of the post — usually, there are people who either tried the hack and knew it didn’t work or those who can explain the science of why the hack is fake
  • Research on your own — often, there’s actually some scientific explanation why the hack will or will not work
  • Don’t try the hack unless you’re 100% sure that it’s real and safe to try
  • Ask a second opinion from a reliable person

Husband Fails to Get Flowers for Wedding Anniversary, Buys Land for Wife




A husband failed to get flowers for their wedding anniversary but still went viral after choosing to buy land for his wife to grow flowers, instead.

Land versus flowers? We’ll also take the land, please. LOL

Husband Buys Land for Wife on Wedding Anniversary

It is every wife’s secret wish to receive a gift from her husband on their wedding anniversary or during other important moments of their lives together.

Not everyone gets to receive those gifts, of course.

While many husbands are unable to buy gifts out of poverty or because they have other, much more important priorities, there are also who do have the money but just don’t like giving gifts.

Some women might say that they wish their husbands would just get them flowers for their wedding anniversary.

Recently, a guy named Kael John Canoy made waves on social media after publicly admitting that he wasn’t able to give his wife flowers on their first anniversary! Uh-oh…

Is he going to be in big trouble?

Well, not really.

It turned out that he wasn’t being thoughtless or had forgotten the date. Instead, he had other plans for his family.

Canoy would soon go viral after explaining in his post that while he failed to get her flowers on their first wedding anniversary, he was making it up with an entire land where she can grow all the flowers she wants to have. Awwww.

Would you rather receive the land than flowers?

Well, considering that the land is going to last forever, and you can plant all the flowers you do want to have, then we’re all voting for land, too.

Buying Land and Other Real Estate in the Philippines

Buying real estate can be tricky in the Philippines, especially because many are still under a so-called “mother title” or a title still under the name of the seller’s ancestors.

To avoid issues, try to only buy land that already has a “clean title” (under the seller’s name or just one signatory).

Getting lots from a reputable real estate broker or under a property developer might also be a good idea.
