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!

Famous people on alcohol..
i got this from a friend... i got so inspired by it and wanted to share this to 'whom it can realate to, hehehe"..
enjoy...
"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.
