CoUch potato.. NOT?
I've been busy these past few days.. Sigh! Missed blogging..
Busy because I've been shopping here and there for things that I need for my trip! This is it..

MY dad's day.. and mine?
Yesterday was my dad’s 60th Bday bash! Belated happy birthday Dad! And we all celebrated it with our usual dinner dine out somewhere nice and to where everybody will agree to eat on.
It wasn't a very ordinary day for both dad and me.
When I woke up at around 9am, I heard the doorbell rang. It's a delivery! A native lechon (roasted pig), gift from his former subordinates and friends. Then after that another doorbell from outside, and came two different flavored cakes (yummy), also from his friends! Then an hour after that, a visit from a friend who came to greet and catch things up with.
My dad’s day was happy! It was his birthday, of course! Even though he will be applying for his senior citizen’s discount card sometime soon, he was thankful and delighted.
As for me, by the time I finished lunch, I helped in the kitchen and washed some dishes for the pig. I was so busy preparing and fixing dad’s gifts in the kitchen and forgot about my us
ual errands, which was being in my room, blog or even chat and be near my cell phone. And that day, I was not even thinking of doing those what I so called “tasks”. And hey, that day was not a very ordinary day for me as I've said... Because later that afternoon, I got a phone call from a friend, asking me if I'd received anything that day. Then BOOM! I saw an unusual text message! YES! I have been granted a visa! (weeeeeeeeeeee).. After waiting for 4 long months, now it's here! Waiting is done!! And I'm very happy!

You can stop smoking
Smokers: BEWARE!
Smoking is an addiction (uhh, yeah!). Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, a drug that is addictive and can make it very hard, but not impossible, to quit. According to research, more than 400,000 deaths in the U.S. alone each year are from smoking-related illnesses. Smoking greatly increases your risks for lung cancer and many other cancers.
Smoking harms not just the smoker, but also family members, coworkers and others who breathe the smoker's cigarette smoke, called secondhand smoke.
FYI: If both parents smoke, a teenager is more than twice as likely to smoke than a young person whose parents are both non-smokers. In households where only one par
ent smokes, young people are also more likely to start smoking. But you know, you can stop smoking !
So QUIT SMOKING! Quitting smoking makes a difference right away - you can taste and smell food better. Your breath smells better. Your cough goes away. This happens for men and women of all ages, even those who are older. It happens for healthy people as well as those who already have a disease or condition caused by smoking. Plus, quitting smoking saves money.. hahaha!
Here's a teaser for you all smokers.. The attached picture is a ceiling mural made for YOU. Well, it really does paint a thousand words..

thinking hard when you’re not suppose to...
I planned to hear the 6am mass here in our village for a change. It’s my birthday yesterday and I wanted to do something different. So I set the alarm at around 5:30 the night earlier. Before it went on doing its ascending shrill of “Yeah” by Usher alarm tune, I was already awakened by a call. A long distance call! Yes, it was Tina. We talked around for more than 10 minutes. Not the usual Hi – How are you? - Goodbye conversation. It was a Hi – Happy Birthday – How are you? – Bye one! I know it will cost her, but hey! It’s MY day, that’s why.
After that expensive 13 minutes and 43 second talk, I decided to linger around for a moment. Thought mainly about what my life has been and had become. I was looking back to the year just passed. Took a couple of deep breaths, did my occasional morning procastination and just thought, hey, I had a blast! A multicolored year with some frowns and bum-outs!!
It was not a very long linger time, believe me, because I kinda fell asleep (again)! Wooopss, and totally forgot about attending church! Sigh! Still the normal me, a sleepyhead! Hmmm..
Then I woke up, thought about our little chat that morning because Tina asked me, what would you change now you’re 29? My, oh my, what to CHANGE?!? A toughie!
Well, I didn’t immediately answer her when she dropped the bomb there. It was one of those Million dollars, hard to answer, mind blowing questions. And it was only 9am! Ha-ha. Still too early for me to think! Duh!
But what came out of my mind was a bleeder! Didn’t even understand that I thought of “nothing” at first, when I know I distinctively should or would change something about me. Clock was ticking and i was just shooting blanks. Well, CHANGE is such a big word! True! Com’on, Give me a slack here!
And now, another day has ended and still, I can’t think of an answer to her simple and precise question: What shall I change about me now I’m a year older?? Think Ceejay, think!

last day 28
Celebrated the last day of being 28 today.. And tomorrow will be just as like any other ordinary Monday! Sigh!
We ordered a 20" pizza from Big Apple with four flavors (white cheese, pepperoni, big apple special and beef & mushroom), Amber's famous spaghetti, 10 pcs. bbq and pichie 2x. Dad brought home with him 2 flavors of ice cream (Chocovanilla and Ube). It went well! Yummy! To bad chloe was still sleeping when we chowed down and pigged out at the dining table!
And do you know what?? It finally rained! Thank God for the blessing!

Signing out!
It's a super hot Sunday today!
I woke up this morning, around 6am, with a slight headache from last night's inuman session with some friends at CENTRAL. My head was heavy and i could hear thunder sounds.. Will it rain today? I hope so!
Tomorrow's my 29th birthday and i could not think of anything else to do but wait for the internet of Las Pinas to be fixed so i could read and post more thoughts in my blog..
I'm speaking non-sense right now because my head is drying up due to the super uncomfortably hot weather. I would probably edit this blog soon if the darn connection will hopefully be ready.
Signing out.. I miss playing poker though..
Missing checking mails and messages, chatting and staying up late! I miss the internet!
See you soon blog..

A must read! Proud to be one!
I couldn't believe it either! I thought it was just an ordinary write up about Pinoys and nothing really special. But as I went further, it was different! Pass on to our fellow citizens and let's be proud to be FILIPINOS!!!
Facts about Sleeping and waking up early
REASONS FOR SLEEPING AND WAKING UP EARLY
Evening at 9 - 11pm:Is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification)from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spentby relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife isstill in an un-relaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoringchildren doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1am:Is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done ina deep sleep state.Early morning 1 - 3am:Detoxification process in the gall: also ideally done in a deep sleepstate.
Early morning 3 - 5am:Detoxification in the lungs: Therefore there will sometimes be a severecough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxificationprocess had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take coughmedicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am:Detoxification in the colon: you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9am:Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine: you should be havingbreakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, forthose who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to thosewanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should changetheir habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10amrather than no meal at all.
Habitual sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the processof removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am isthe time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleepand don't sleep late.

the wonders of technology
It was lunchtime. My dad was so curious about what he read in the papers about Play Stations, Game boys and the like so he asked my nephew Rafael, if he knows about it. And the 7-year-old answered, "yes, of course Lolo."
So my dad followed up the question, "do you like play station 3? I will buy you one."
"I already have Play Station 2 at home" said Rafael.
My dad was amazed because how come his apo already knows it and has one. So he said “Ok, I’ll buy myself the World War 2 gadget!”
I was curious. And asked myself what was he talking about! Hmmmm..
“Then I’ll get tho
se golf, bowling and tennis controllers!” My dad added.
What he was talking about was the Wii Game! (Duh! A World War 2 gadget!) I almost choked while drinking my glass of water! HAHAHA!

a poker addict's day off
Just last Tuesday, I was, of course, playing poker! (Booo-yah!)
I was on the roll that day.. Winning consecutive hands, getting high cards, raising, and vigorously betting all in. I’ve reached to a positive of what my tag was.. A PRO 1M tag and some thousand plus. I was happy and feeling confident.
Every time I enter a table, I always make sure not to bet more than what I can't afford to lose because I might lose my... hmmmm.. laptop (not my head) in anger and frustration. In other words, I hate losing!
Today, I've decided to take a day without poker. Not because I was happy and had enough of the adrenalin rush in winning lots of the 'virtual' chips last Tuesday..
But because, after an hour of losing 900k yesterday (Thursday), I have to stop and just had to stop before everything in front of me might be seen in the dumpster! AARRRGHHH!
I just had to COOL off! So, beam me up scotty!!!

From my sis' site
I got this from my sister's site: insights from the grocery cart
It's a little bit of advertising and well, sucking up, of course (so she could endorse me to her blog friends, hahahaa)
My roommate and I once: courageously entered a "hunted house" because we were drunk. (an abandoned house beside Tina's)
Never in my life have I: cooked something much complicated than fried eggs and spam
High school was: a bit fun and exciting.
When I’m nervous: I get numb.
My hair: just had it's cut and color, and i like!
When I was 5: I always have the same outfit as my sister..
When I turn my head left: I see the TV
I should be: reading and learning what needs to be read and learned. Ha-ha
By this time next year: Ill be travelling Europe!
My favorite aunt is: the one who gives more money every Christmas! hihhi
I have a hard time understanding: my niece when she's crying.
You know I like you if: I treat you ice cream.
My ideal breakfast is: a healthy breakfast.
If you visit my home town: it's still the same.
If you spend the night at my house: you'll sure be sleeping on the floor.
The animal I would like to see flying besides birds: are none. Think about the droppings!
I shouldn't have been: playing poker and watching Scrubs all day. Very unproductive!
Last night I: prayed before sleeping.
A better name for me would be: my name. Just right.
I’ve been told I look like: LJ Moreno, I don't even know the poor girl.
If I could have any car, it would be: the one with jet wings so I would just fly to my destination and not experience the every day traffic!

a ritual before doing anything
I have this habit way back when I was still working in Makati to wake up around 6 in the morning, do my morning rituals and make sure, I mean, REALLY make sure finish everything and be in the car by 7am. Why? My favorite radio show is about to be heard.
It was called “morning inspirations”. Until I quit my job and went back to studying again, I kind of carried that morning habit. Not to mention, in nursing, you really have to be early (say be in school 15 minutes before call time, which was 7:30 am). So at exactly 7am, I turn on the radio and wait for the DJ to introduce his morning reading.
I remembered it was around August of 2005 when I heard "dare to be" while I’m on my way to school. It motivated me before I go to lectures, duties and any activities in the university. It has been 3 years and I still read this to myself..

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine light
Where there’s injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway
When life seems to bring you down, dare to fight back
Where there seems to be no hope, dare to find some
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep on going
When times are tough, dare to be tougher
When love hurts you, dare to love again
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile
When you feel great, dare to help someone else to feel great too
When the day has ended, dare to feel as if you’ve done your best
Dare to be the best you can, and at all times… dare to be!
When you feel great, dare to help someone else to feel great too
When the day has ended, dare to feel as if you’ve done your best
Dare to be the best you can, and at all times… dare to be!

pamper time!
Yeah, I got the sniffles since Monday. Sniff sniff! And now I had this cough.. Phew!
But I chose not to spend all my time cuddling with my blanket in bed, making myself bored watching re-runs, eating yesterday’s food and be a coach potato. I got the time and decided to do my monthly ritual – had a FACIAL!
What a refreshing feeling! Even though I sniffed and coughed here and there all the way to my dermatologist in BF Homes, I felt invigorated re-energized today. Thank you ‘kikay’ day!

Back in the days, I used to write poems.. Well, it was back in high school and I was really into writing. The passion, I think it all started when during my English subject in 2nd yr high school, we were asked to memorize or even analyze a poem. I fell in love with it, I began to love reading and started to trully express my emotions thru writing. My first peom was by Elizabeth browning (sonnet 14). It was so lovely and inspiring.
I tried to write one, not a full pledge sonnet, just a simple poem. My motivation back then was, of course, my high school fling. But note this! It was NOT throughout the course of our 3 year all-apology, monotonous, boring, more often than not adventure together.. But it was when I already broken up with him, that is. (Weird ei?)
The poem was about reminiscing our past. I mean, yeah, I broke up with him, and I cared, I commiserated with him because I let go of our relationship.. So here it goes..

Do you still remember those memories we shared together.
The laughter’s and sorrows that I thought would last forever.
Now those times had gone by, just for a while..
My heart hurts and I find it hard to smile.
I feel alone and also feeling bad,
without you these days made me feel so sad.
I know that you feel the same way too.
Don’t worry, I care for you, trust me, its true.
But after making that short and consoling poem for him.. I’ve learned that a classmate of mine was flirting and was making her way through my ex’s heart. I don’t want to believe it at first because he was still distressing about our break up. But after a couple of weeks, DARN! They got together and started dating..
So I’ve made another one. Enthused by what they did to me. I wrote a poem of the fast pace of him having a new GF. Ouchie! A new girl friend after 2weeks, come on! That was back stabbing! (Not affected anymore, it was high school, believe me!). So I’ve decided to express what I felt after that appalling news. Here goes..
I still care for you come what may.
That’s what I’ve thought these past few days.
The love I have for you had gone by.
You’ve hurt my feelings now, because you lied.
Even though it hurts me as much,
Even though it hurts me as much,
this feeling for you, i thought will never last.
But to what I've learned, you're dating now,
What i felt, has vanished. How?
You’ve just changed my mind and feelings too..
Now I’ll hate you, that is what I got to do!
It’s your entire fault, you made me do it.
It’s your entire fault, you made me do it.
How dare you and I can’t believe it?
I’ll be happy for you, for now, forever.
Never ever do it to her, or else – WHATEVER!

Highschool fling.. gone
No poker blog today because it was day two of cleaning out my closet. I came upon this small Ninja Turtle lunch box full of things. I saw some small possessions such as stitched cloth with my name on it, a very small key, a book mark (also with my name on it), a pencil with my name carved on it, a blue hanky (no name this time), half of a locket and plenty of letters. Here's the catch... The letters were numbered!! Hmm.. I realized it was from my high school whirl wind romance.
I forgot how i got them before. I mean, i don't remember the story behind those things anymore. What the key was for, the significance of the hanky... Hmmm.. Ahhh.. Ohh! Wait.. Darn.. Oh well, i really don't have a clue!
Of course, I tried to read the letters. They may just give me something about those gifts. It was ages ago and I'm really eager to know what happened then. Yes, it was numbered. All in all, I got 47 letters. What I saw there are notes taken from scented stationeries, tattered notebook pages and some even from the regular high school note pads.
It was funny reading them at first. But after looking at some, what I’ve noticed, most of them were apology letters. While reading them, I can’t figure out why he was always saying sorry. What was he apologetic about? Well, as I’ve said, that was A G E S ago.. So I forgot! (Don’t blame me!) Ha-ha!
Some notes were as corny as ever. Not original and so clichéd. Remember, they were from my high school fling (I mean, we were still kids! Come on!) LOL!! Some notes made me laugh, and some made my brow up. Hmmm! Some letters were almost unreadable but the others are just ok. Then after, I’m sorry to say, lobbed them away. What nostalgia! Ha-ha!

my highschool stuff..
As I dug deeper into my stationary filled shoebox, I also saw some high school letters. If you were to see that box, it was categorized by envelops from a group from different friends, lower and higher batch retreat letters and envelop to just one person (a best friends bulk letters and junks of ex's... ). We'll write about that soon.. so watch out! LOL
It was also amusing reading those letters. I first opened the envelope with a J.A.M. written on the front. I paused for a moment and thought what those 3 letters stand for. Hmmm.. J.A.M.?? When I opened it, I saw letters from Abigail and Maricel. The ‘J’ there, it stands for Joy (which was a my preferred name in high school.. ELK!) Ha-ha-ha..
We were like the bestest of friends when we were in our first year. We were inseparable! Seatmates, lunch mates and chicka mates are we, almost every day of our first year lives. I sometimes drop them off their houses, especially Maricel because her house was just along the way.
Awww.. Those were the days. I hope to get in touch with them anytime soon and catch things up, bond again and reminisce the old days!!! Sigh! Probably set a JAM night! Ha-ha..

the grade school stuff..
I cleaned my closet today. Why? Let’s just say it's the time of the moment thing that I’ve decided to clean and discard things and some memoirs from the good old days... Time to move on! Ha-ha..
Good old days, yeah, really! As I opened my buried stationary chest (a big shoebox), I found letters and other memorabilia from when I was still in grade school.
I saw there bulk of invitations to parties, Christmas, Valentine, and Birthday cards and tickets of plays and from school fairs. Reading those letters way back 1991 was a real knock-out hilarious!
Back then I had this group called "the Banana Q girls". We're 5, all girls and what we do was eat Banana Q for lunch! Just that... No more, no less.. That was when I was in grade 5. And the word 'diet' was not even in my own dictionary yet. Ha-ha..
I opened those beautiful scented and colorful paper, reading it one by one, trying to reminisce our lives back then. There were letters of appreciation, some sharing of secrets and some I-like-you-friends note. I've also read letters about two friends of mine bickering over some boy, and a letter about missing me because I made other friends.
This morning was so amusing and entertaining. I never knew that cleaning up dirty closets can make my rainy Monday cheerful!

round'abouts
Its August 1 and yes, I'm home alone..
Its not that I'm complaining or something.. its my lifestyle!
On times like this, doing nothing is practically doing something. Here's what i mean... What i do when i wake up is, first, check my fone if someone texted me or someone called. Don't worry, i don't usually text or call back unless it's very urgent or important like: an invitation to a gimmick or the like.
Then, i look around my room first. I check on the window, and see whether its still early for me to stand or too late for me to eat breakfast. Then i stare at the ceiling for about 10 seconds... then the door, by 5 seconds... then the ceiling again until i decided to face the wall and hug my blanky and try to fall asleep again..
Its just basically what i do before really standing up and go about the remaining time of the day.
I usually wake up by an hour before lunch time, say 11 am (if I'm lucky! and that is if i got no errands to attend to or do some favor my parents usually ask me to do in the mornings.. which is to join them during a too-early-for-me breakfast).
Here then, my day starts.. I stand up, look for my slippers, go out the room, make potty (hihi), wash my face.. look myself in the mirror, wash my hands, go back to my room and sit on the bed. I dunno why this became an enigma for me.. This deciding part gets complicated: should i eat now or doze off again.. Yeah, I'm still sleepy by that hour! I usually blame playing (and yeah, winning) Texas HoldEm poker for staying up late till 3am.
But most of the times, i eat my "breakfast" by 12 noon, while watching tv on my parents' room. After doing so, I'll be washing the dishes, drinking vitamins, check the ref for dessert and then off to the lazy boy again to watch more tv.
I do read, sometimes, if i feel guilty of watching too many re-runs, usually of jeopardy and the price is right. Reading about 3 - 4 pages of learning to speak another language, they give me eye ache and a mind sore for me. So by then, i start up my laptop, log on to facebook and stay at least 3 hours on playing poker! (i usually add an hour if I'm winning)
If I'm not playing on facebook, i usually check on my emails, my multiply account, my friendster account, comments and messages, my friends on friendster and look at their new uploaded pictures.. and at times, i answer some survey questions posted in the bulletin board.
I end my laptop time only if my tummy starts to ask for some nourishing. Haha.. Yea, I'll be hungry by then. Checking out friends, posting up surveys, winning and losing in poker games gives me stress and burns my energy.. much more than sitting on the lazy boy, watching re-runs and changing channels with the remote. Whew!
Good thing peanut butter was invented. Thank God! Eating a peanut butter sandwich will be my "lunch" and by around 5pm, I'm back on my laptop again.
That's how it usually goes, on a typical "I'm alone again" day. Then, when the day ends, it'll be August 2..

a friend of mine says the Darnest thing..
It was year 2004 and a gimmick night. Me and 5 of my friends (the bling-blings) are invited to watch a 'gig' to this famous resto bar in Shangri-La Ortigas. The performing band's name was the Escape Band, and a friend's hubby was the lead guitarist and she wanted us to meet him. Gie was the designated driver and we were about to park within the vicinity.
As we drove to the parking area, we were stopped by the 2 guards to check on the trunk's car (for security purposes). So she pulled over, opened the trunk and rolled down her window. She asked 1 of the guards if we were in the right location..
"Manong, dito ba yung Water-loo?" Gie asked politely. Everybody was stunned on what we heard... And we just kept silent. (I forgot why.. hmmm)
The guard, paused for a moment, scratched his head then turned to Gie and said "Ano po, Water-loo? Walang ganun dito."
"Opo, yung... yung Water-loo, yung resto bar?" She said, with a little hesitation.
Everybody was dazed! Even the Guard! Couldn't even think what he will answer to my confused friend..
Then the good thing, after a second or so, she realized and came to her senses. "Ay, Watering Hole pala" then chuckles.
The guard let us through. We were laughing at that incident till we got inside and heard the band's first set!

understanding politics..
This is hilarious! I understood and knew all about it! I got this from a friend..
Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him .
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed .
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. "
The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing the Working Class
while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."

a realization after a lunch movie
It was after lunch! Just had Jollibee delivered and finished a chicken spaghetti meal. YUMMY! I was just watching Daniel Craig's Casino Royal in star movies.. I'm in the part where they were playing Texas Hold 'em Poker, the last buy-ins. If you haven't seen the movie, they're playing with real money (millions of dollars) and with real players, unlike me, just virtually! hehe
They were just 4 at the table. With James Bond (of course), 2 millionaires and the villain (i dunno who). The flop was an ace of diamonds, 5, 6 , 8 and an ace of spades. After the last card was open, everybody went "all in". Of course, some made the confident look, some showed their Poker Faces.. It was a very intense game! Again, they we're betting with lots and lots of money! In millions!!! Imagine that!
So the 1st gentleman showed his hand, he had a king and queen of spades. His hand was good, making a flush. A sure win, but not quite.
Then it was the 2nd gentleman's turn to show his cards. He had a pair of 8's.. making a fullhouse of Ace to 8's. Good hand, indeed.. But not quite!
Then show the cards of the villain. He had an ace and a 6. A much more higher fullhouse, having 3 aces and a pair of 6's. Nice! He almost had the $146 M of the pot.
But of course, Mr. Bond will make sure he will not lose this. He showed his cards.. then BAM! Showed a 7 and 4 of spades. A very remarkable hand! He makes a Straight flush! A much higher that fullhouse! to make this story short, Mr. Bond won the pot and gave half a million tip to the dealer!
MORAL OF THE LESSON: learn how to deal and get a poker dealer's job. you might be lucky to have a Mr. Bond playing in your table and tip you half a mill dollars! Its now or never.. And don't say i didn't advice you!

one of my addictions..
i have to be honest, i can say i am now a poker addict! wait.. let me clear this.. I'm not the person who goes to casinos, sits on a table, bet with real hard earned money and play the game! what I'm talking about is virtual poker.
you see, it all started when a friend invited me to this very interesting site where you can be connected with family and friends all over the world through the powers of the Internet. moreover, meet strangers and can interact with them just by adding an application such as p.o.k.e.r.!
its as simple as ABC. with just a click of a button (check/call/raise/fold), you can win lots of chips! from hundreds to thousands, thousands to hundreds of thousands, even millions (if you're darn lucky). virtually, of course! and with those won chips, your status will change to how much you've leveled up. but also, you can lose a lot too (if you don't know the strategy! ehem!) haha..
it would be hard to win hundreds and thousands in a sitting. Yes, patiently you have to go room to room and find that lucky table or chair to boost you up, win and be happy till the end of the day. Well, but it is much more painful and agonizing to lose them little by little, especially in a split second... See, your chips will gone... all gone... and POOF! ironically in just 1 hand! ouchie!
what is more painful in poker is when you really really know that you will win this round because you have a very good hand (2 wow cards) and then confidently place your bet in an "all in" mode, and surely that your FULL HOUSE (a pair + 3 of a kind) is so unbeatable.. then after that moment the River (the last of the 5 cards to open) opens.. and then WHAM! your opponent shows you a quadruple (4 of a kind) hand! "NOOO"! suddenly your heartbeat starts to pump much more than it usually does, your body starts to shake and realize.. CRAP! #@&%! you've lost! what a murder!!! waaaaaaaaaa... well, this has happened to me, really (and other more eye-widening and mouth-dropping situations).. and its really a G.R.R. moment! Oh well, good thing its just Internet chips.. whew! hihihi!
us, (ehem) poker players in that site, most of us have this sort of 'separation anxiety' over the fake money! that's why i get to react that way when losing.. why? duh! its because.. well.. i shall say it was hard work.. I mean, sleepless nights on getting a stat from beginner to a Pro 500K player (which is what my status is now), the heart raising and nail-biting bluffs, the drama of begging to Pro 5M players to give back your lost chips.. etc.. but for some, its a waste of time!.. (true.. even my dad thinks this!)
the reason why i am sharing this is because... its MY addiction, mine! and that's about it!

I mean, sleepless nights on getting a stat from beginner to a Pro 500K player (which is what my status is now), the heart raising and nail-biting bluffs, the drama of begging to Pro 5M players to give back your lost chips.. etc.. but for some, its a waste of time!.. (true.. even my dad thinks this!)
the reason why i am sharing this is because... its MY addiction, mine! and that's about it!

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." ~ Jack Handy
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties.
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. " ~ Frank Sinatra
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.
"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading." ~ Henny Youngman
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you.
"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not." ~ Stephen Wright
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing.
"When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!" ~ Brian O'Rourke
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy.
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." ~ Benjamin Franklin
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like a retard.
"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." ~ Dave Barry
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a Support Group. Salvation in a can! ~ Dave Howell
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers.
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went: "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
