On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness
’til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
He said, son, I’ve made a life out of readin’ people’s faces,
And knowin’ what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don’t mind my sayin’, I can see you’re out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I’ll give you some advice.
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.
Now ev’ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin’
Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
’cause ev’ry hand’s a winner and ev’ry hand’s a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
So when he’d finished speakin’, he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.
You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count you r money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.

What would you do?
1. You're at the BB with AJ. An early position player raises. A middle position player calls the raise and the cut-off seat re-raises.
2. You're at the button with AK. Three players limp, you raise, the blinds fold but the the three limpers call. Flop is at J87 rainbow. The first player bets and the next two players fold.
3. You raise at the button with Ad Ah (red aces). Two players call your raise. The flop is 789 all clubs. A player bets and another player calls.

Dare you to move
It's 1am and I'm listening to this switchfoot song. It's from A Walk to Remember and it's titled "Dare you to move". I've always liked this song. I understand and I appreciate the message of this song and I just thought I'd share it here.
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Well, I think it's saying that life is shit. Sometimes, as optimistic as you want to be, there is just no other truth to it. Sometimes, life is just shit.
And I think that's alright. Because what matters is what you do about it. Yes, life is shit, you're going to fail, it's just bound to happen. If not for fate, it's bound to happen by statistic. No one is just going to breeze through life, it just doesn't work that way.
The point is, failing is inevitable. You're going to flunk an exam. You're going to get dumped. You're going to get fired. You're going to lose over and over and over again. Life is going to kick you so bad that you're going to want to stay down. It's going to take people from you. It's going to make you wish you've never been born. It's going to make you wish that you could just end your existence.
So fine, life is shit. Now what are you gonna do about it? That's the point of it all. What happens next? That, is the question. Just because life is fucked up, doesn't mean we all have to be fucked up.
So I dare you to move. I dare us all to get off our asses and do something about it. I dare us to do something great. I dare us to be a part of history. I dare us all to etch our names along with names that we look up to. I dare us to make a mark. I dare us to look within ourselves and look into the world with renewed vigor. I dare us to attack the world like today, our failings, never happened.
Everyone's graduating soon. For some reason, it's a different kind of atmosphere. You can taste the fear in the air. The uncertainty and the hesitation is ever-present. I remember when we were graduating from high school. We felt like we were going to take over the world. That's because deep down inside, we knew that we didn't have to yet. In those terms, our bravado was nothing more than a lie. But now, it's time to prove ourselves and I can feel everyone's reservations. We all know about the stories. We all know about the wasted potential. We all know of the people who were kings in high school or college. They were prodigies who looked like they were going to make millions and live happy and contented lives. You know these people. They are your friends. They are even your family. But like everyone, life dragged them down. It's a sick and sad world out there where dog eats dog.
So fine, life is shit. So I dare you to move. I dare me to move. I dare us to lift ourselves off the floor and be someone. If you want to be a leader, then be the best damn leader there ever was. If you want to be a businessman, then give it all you've got. If you want to find your true love, then never give up. If you want to live a happy life, then you've got to get up everytime you get dealt a bad hand.
It's time to be great, gentlemen.
So now, what happens next?

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked:
"Richness, can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered: "I'm sorry, but there's a lot of silver and gold in my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help, who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out: "Vanity, help me please."
"I can’t help you." Vanity said. "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said: "Sadness, please let me go with you".
Sadness answered "Love, I’m sorry, but I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out: "Happiness, please take me with you!" but Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry.
Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me". It was an elder.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land, the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"but why did Time help me when no one else would?" Love asked.
Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

crap =b
Today, I again attempted to cup the passing Air between my hands.
The feeling was enigmatic, inexplicable, indescribable.
Again I failed.
Striking. Like Roquelaure’s macabre.
Surreal. Like Gaiman’s reveries.
Eternal. Like Neruda’s eloquence.
Tonight, the Air again wisped between my fingers.
I am still attempting.
I know I can’t,
But still I try.

How do you catch the Air?
With your hands?
With your whispers?
No.
Don't try because you can’t.

Gateway and Glorietta vs. Starmall
For the nth time, I've been denied entrance by security personnel at Starmall Edsa. Apparently, I violated their dress code (Note : No wearing of sandals).
Funny how I get into Glorietta and Gateway everytime using my same pair of sandals.

Poker night results
An awesome night of poker ended with Jubilee boys dusting off Eugene's boys. It was a cash game with blinds to 5-10 pesos in real money with the minimum buy-in at 100 pesos (most players bought in at 200, a more standard stack for the blinds). At the end of the night, here were the results:
Jim: +500
Jeco: +300
Popoy: Even
Eug: Even
Out of all of Eugene's boys, which were about 8 of them, only one came out with a profit at +100. The others all came away with a loss. At the end of the night, Marvin Sioco made an appearance and walked away with +250 busting one player in the process.
Jeco had an excellend night winning key pots with big hands. In one nice play, Jeco pushed all in at the turn with aces up and another player called with just AQ. Eug, on the other hand, started out slow as he only bought in with 100 and he was getting blinded off but after a long while, he finally doubled up when his JJ stood up against AQ. Popoy was the slowest to get going. He was severely depleted before going on a small tear. To regain his chips, he made an excellent play with his QJ paired against my AKs.
As for myself, I doubled up in just the fifth hand in an awesome hand I'll get to in a while. I played super tight the first hour just content on watching everyone play and picking up tells. Out of the whole night, the best hands I picked up was AKs (where I lost a big pot to Poy), 22 (where I lost a huge pot to Eug's friend who quickly cashed out after) and KQ, which everyone folded to pre-flop. The pots I won were only with suited connectors and I also got lucky with live cards (27o beating K9o!!!). Overall, I busted out 4 players.
Here's the awesome hand, the fifth hand of the night.
I checked the big blind with Q9 suited of diamonds.
The flop was Td Jd 6d (all diamonds) meaning I flopped the flush and an open-ended straight flush draw. I checked and a chubby newbie bet and I called.
The turn was the 9 of spades. I checked, the newbie bet again and I called.
The river was the 8 of diamonds giving me a queen high straight flush! I hoped that the fish had the ace of diamonds or at least a high flush so I checked. He bet again, I raised him all-in with the nuts and he quickly called revealing... QJ! He only had a straight that he made at the river. He called an all-in bet with no diamond to a four diamond board. Needless to say, I took all his chips.
So anyway, that was the night. Eugene's boys were relatively inexperienced. While some of them made a few nice plays at some points, they just weren't used to cash games. Well, I hope they come back soon. Glenn, dude, you missed out!

Weird dream
(Contributor's note: This is not a form of gay literature)
How would you react if you dreamt that an accident will happen to a friend of yours, and it actually happened?
It happened to me. Read on boys and girls.
One night when I was still a little Grade-5 toddler, I dreamt about my uncircumcised friend, Pierre that he was going to Shangri-la mall along Shaw Boulevard with his family. Pierre was pushing the steel bar attached to the frame of the glass door in the entrance when the entire door fell on him, leaving his feet injured.
The next day, I was surprised to see Pierre walking with arm-crutches, with his foot (forgot which one it was) bound with a cast.

Poker lingo for our everyday lives
Yeah, that's right. We're that addicted.
This started out as a wouldnt-it-be-cool-if.. idea with Stip. And now, it turned into a full-fledged vocabulary. I guess if you're going to do something, even if it's really stupid, then go all-out.
Poker talk
Basic Talk
Measurement for readiness: Hey, dude, are you ready? "yeah, shuffle up and deal." (It is usually announced in the beginning of the tournament to signify that it has begun)
When one has done or said something good: "Dude, nh." (It means nice hand and is said to a player who won with a nice hand)
When one has accomplished something: "Good job, man. That's a bracelet." (A bracelet is the
prize given at a world series of poker event when one wins a tournament)
When one has failed at something he is supposed to excell at: "Dude, I took a bad beat." (A bad beat occurs when one loses even though he has the best hand coming into the board)
Saying goodbye: "Sige dudes, I'm cashing out." (Cashing out means leaving the table)
Women
Kinds of women
Tight (players who only play premium hands) = Conservative girl
Aggressive (players who run over the table) = Aggressive girl
Loose (players who call bets without a hand) = Easy girl
Tight-aggressive (players who wait for a hand then run over the table) = Lady on the street, but a freak in the bed
Maniac (players who raise any bet at any time) = psycho chick
Rankings
AA = Perfect girl. Looks, personality, she's got it all. The situation is right and she's looks like the one. (AA is the best hand pre-flop in holdem)
KK = Perfect girl, but a crappy situation. Ex: perfect girl with strict parents. (KK is the second best hand. Only four cards in the deck, the aces, can beat this hand pre-flop)
AK = Unbelievably gorgeous girl but crappy personality. (Also called the Anna Kournikova hand. Looks good, but barely wins)
QQ = MILF.
AQ = A really cool girl, with a lot of potential, but she's not in the others' league yet. (AQ is a strong hand, but a terrible underdog to the fore-mentioned hands)
JJ = A really cool girl with a nice rack.
AJ = Your standard hot chick. Eye-catching, definitely.
KQ = Not that hot, but she's the girlfriend type and eventually, the wife type. (KQ is also called newlyweds)
KJ = Hot foreign/exotic chick.
QJ = Milf. but not that hot.
AT = Hottest chick in a group of cute girls.
KT = second hottest chick in same group.

Dating
When one successfully hits on a girl or has lied to one: "Dude, I made a huge bluff last night"
When one gets shot down: "yeah, she called my bluff"
When one gets historically shot down: "duuuude, I got busted out with a bluff"
When one is on a great date: "It's definitely a live table."
When one is on a crappy date: "I'm on a suicide table! Oh no, nothing. I was just telling my friend something over the phone. What were you talking about? Oh yeah, when you have your monthly period. Oh the soup's good, I just... lost my appetite all of a sudden."
This started out as a wouldnt-it-be-cool-if.. idea with Stip. And now, it turned into a full-fledged vocabulary. I guess if you're going to do something, even if it's really stupid, then go all-out.
Poker talk
Basic Talk
Measurement for readiness: Hey, dude, are you ready? "yeah, shuffle up and deal." (It is usually announced in the beginning of the tournament to signify that it has begun)
When one has done or said something good: "Dude, nh." (It means nice hand and is said to a player who won with a nice hand)
When one has accomplished something: "Good job, man. That's a bracelet." (A bracelet is the
prize given at a world series of poker event when one wins a tournament)
When one has failed at something he is supposed to excell at: "Dude, I took a bad beat." (A bad beat occurs when one loses even though he has the best hand coming into the board)
Saying goodbye: "Sige dudes, I'm cashing out." (Cashing out means leaving the table)
Women
Kinds of women
Tight (players who only play premium hands) = Conservative girl
Aggressive (players who run over the table) = Aggressive girl
Loose (players who call bets without a hand) = Easy girl
Tight-aggressive (players who wait for a hand then run over the table) = Lady on the street, but a freak in the bed
Maniac (players who raise any bet at any time) = psycho chick
Rankings
AA = Perfect girl. Looks, personality, she's got it all. The situation is right and she's looks like the one. (AA is the best hand pre-flop in holdem)
KK = Perfect girl, but a crappy situation. Ex: perfect girl with strict parents. (KK is the second best hand. Only four cards in the deck, the aces, can beat this hand pre-flop)
AK = Unbelievably gorgeous girl but crappy personality. (Also called the Anna Kournikova hand. Looks good, but barely wins)
QQ = MILF.
AQ = A really cool girl, with a lot of potential, but she's not in the others' league yet. (AQ is a strong hand, but a terrible underdog to the fore-mentioned hands)
JJ = A really cool girl with a nice rack.
AJ = Your standard hot chick. Eye-catching, definitely.
KQ = Not that hot, but she's the girlfriend type and eventually, the wife type. (KQ is also called newlyweds)
KJ = Hot foreign/exotic chick.
QJ = Milf. but not that hot.
AT = Hottest chick in a group of cute girls.
KT = second hottest chick in same group.
QT = most mature, personable chick in the same group.
JT = cute girl who thinks she's hotter than what she really is.
TT = Guy's girl. They type who hangs with guys and gets treated as one of them.

Scientists find errors in global warming data
By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY Fri Aug 12, 7:32 AM ET
Satellite and weather-balloon research released Friday removes a last bastion of scientific doubt about global warming, researchers say.
Surface temperatures have shown small but steady increases since the 1970s, but the tropics had shown little atmospheric heating - and even some cooling. Now, after sleuthing reported in three papers released by the journal Science, revisions have been made to that atmospheric data.
Climate expert Ben Santer of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, lead author of one of the papers, says that those fairly steady measurements in the tropics have been a key argument "among people asking, 'Why should I believe this global warming hocus-pocus?' "
After examining the satellite data, collected since 1979 by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather satellites, Carl Mears and Frank Wentz of Remote Sensing Systems in Santa Rosa, Calif., found that the satellites had drifted in orbit, throwing off the timing of temperature measures. Essentially, the satellites were increasingly reporting nighttime temperatures as daytime ones, leading to a false cooling trend. The team also found a math error in the calculations.
"Our hats are off to (them). They found a real source of error," says atmospheric scientist John Christy of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, whose team produced the lower temperature estimates.
When examining the balloon data, Yale University researchers found that heating from tropical sunlight was skewing the temperatures reported by sensors, making nights look as warm as days.
Once corrected, the satellite and balloon temperatures align with other surface and upper-atmosphere measures, as well as climate change models, Santer says.
Global warming's pace over the past 30 years has actually been quite slow, a total increase of about 1 degree Fahrenheit. It is predicted to accelerate in this century.
Mark Herlong of the George C. Marshall Institute declined to comment. The group, financed by the petroleum industry, has used the data disparities to dispute the views of global-warming activists. In recent years, however, the institute has softened its public statements, acknowledging that the planet is indeed getting warmer but still maintaining that the change is happening so slowly that the impact is minimal.

My E-mail Correspondence with Bret Hart
Sucks...
I sent him an e-mail which contained exactly these words:
And he replied me with these :
Hi. Thanks for writing to me. The fan mail I receive at this address
is given to me weekly. I enjoy reading your letters and have always
genuinely appreciated your feedback, so keep it coming! I try to answer
as many of you as I can but sometimes there just aren't enough hours in
the day. It sounds like just a line, but it's so true. I'm currently
in Toronto appearing as the genie of the lamp in a fun stage play
called Aladdin, The Magical Family Musical. After that I'll be returning
home to Calgary where I look forward to going to lots of Calgary Hitmen
games, which I've missed a lot while being away. I'll probably be doing
some autograoh sessions in the states in the Spring if it can be worked
out, but it's only in the early talking stages so if it actually comes
to be there won't be a schedule until after the first of the year.
Info will be posted on brethart.com - or to set up a booking e-mail
Marcy, my always swamped but forever tireless friend ( who really doesn't
like compliments even when they're deserved so this is a rib that will
drive her nuts! :-) ) She's also my office manager so e-mail her if
you want to look iinto booking an appearance. marcy@brethart.com
Best wishes to each and every one of you for a happy and healthy
holiday and New Year. Bret
Sigh...I guess I better send the bald Chinese guy covering WWE for Star Sports another hate mail...
I sent him an e-mail which contained exactly these words:
Dear Mr. Hart:
Greetings!
You cannot believe how excited I am to be sending you this e-mail. I have been following you and your matches since God knows when here in the Philippines. You are still a very big wrestling figure here in our country. A lot of us still talk about you and your matches (you vs. your bro-in-law the British bulldog, you vs. mr.perfect) even after we don't watch much wrestling these days (the current product seems to be boring to us now). Personally, the best move that I've seen is how you use the figure-four on the steel post. Haha, all of us get a kick on how you would use that to fight bigger opponents.
Anyway, will there be a remote possibility of you visiting the Philippines? Even for a vacation? hehe, we have some of the best beaches in the world. I would very much like to meet you personally. You were a part of my childhood (I was a very big wrestling fan, and wanted to be a wrestler when I was still a toddler hehehe).
More power!
Regards,
Wilson Tang

Planning out
This announcing plans thing sounds cool, so here's mine from next year onwards.
1) Transfer to California on January 2006 where I'll be dorming it up on what will be most certainly, a co-ed dorm.
2) late feb 06: spring break. Will be licking whipped cream and knee deep in boobs somewhere in Daytona or Tijuana.
3) Mid July 06. Going back with Glenn and Pierre.
4) Mid July 06 a day after: Pierre and I pick up a half drunk half delirious Glenn as he discovers that 80% of the most beautiful women in the world reside in California.
5) Sept 06. Fall break. Stip and Eug join us just in time for... One word: Vegas. One more time: VEGAS!
6) Feb 07. Spring break. Two words: Mardi gras. One more time: Pares!
7) Aug 07. Move in to our own place.
So that's the two year plan. Oh and we graduate, get our degree, work and live happy and meaningful lives. But that's just a side point.

My Plans for the Future
A lot of people, quite coincidentially, has been asking me what are my plans for the immediate future. I don't know, maybe its because I'm nearing graduation from college or something. Could it be an indication that I'm in demand by my colleagues? Haha, how I wish.
Anyway, my immediate goals for the future in order of when I wish to start my plans are:
1.) Start a business on 2006, while graduating with a BS Chemistry degree.
2.) Evaluate my business on 2007, start a new one if possible, while finishing my BS Materials Science and Engineering degree.
3.) Start grad school by pursuing an MS Chemistry degree at the Ateneo or apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship for a possible MS Nanoscience degree at Leiden University.
4.) Start my MS Materials Science and Engineering Degree at U.P. Diliman in 2008.
5.) Apply for a Doctoral degree at a U.S. , European or Japanese Grad school.
Yeah, I know all of these seems pretty ambitious. And in fact, I know some, if not all of these might not work out, am I'm prepared to face that reality. But this is the path that I would like to take for the present moment. The sole reason why I want to pursue a Ph.D. degree in science is because I believe in the power of science in transforming a nation (well, a Ph.D. degree won't hurt in scoring a few chicks here and there, but I'd probably be too old to do that by that time). The Philippines is in a crucial stage in its history where it needs science and engineering the most. It is a developing country in dire need of proper scientific applications to achieve national growth and prosperity. Hopefully, my dream will bear fruit and I would be able to contribute to science in the Philippines.

Catch the nut flush on the river at a 200-400 play chip table or find a five peso coin on the ground?
Have your AQs beat someone's AK at a 1000-2000 play chip table or get a friendster request from some girl you dont know?
Make a royal flush at a 2000-4000 play chip table or get a free can of coca cola?
Have three people call your pre-flop all in with you holding AA at a 20 peso buy in table or get a text message from a friend?
Successfully bluff off a huge pot at the turn making the other player fold AA at a 100 peso buy in table or get a free burger?

Shotgun rules
One of the most critical skill to have in life is the art of the shotgun, knowing when to call, the speed of the actual call and calling rules. It's as important as buying life insurance. Well, not really, but you get the point.
So what is "calling shotgun"?
Calling shotgun means getting first dibs on the suggested object or deed. It means whoever called it first gets to enact said action on it first.
Shotgun rules:
Car
Rule 1: The power of shotgun is absolute and binding. The first person who calls shotgun gets to sit in the front.
Rule 1a: This rule can only be overturned if a) The driver denies the shotgun call, b) The car owner denies the shotgun call and/or c) The car is a two-seater and your fat-ass friend can't fit in the back.
Rule 2: The shotgun call is only valid if the caller sees the car. If the caller does not see the car and calls shotgun anyway, he loses his chance to call shotgun for that turn.
Rule 3: The shotgun call is only valid if there are no positions in the car. If say buddy A always sits behind the driver seat, then calling shotgun on a particular occasion is invalid.
Dating
Rule 1: The power of shotgun is absolute and binding. If a buddy calls shotgun on a girl that you all met at the same time, the buddy gets first dibs on the girl.
Rule 1a: This rule can only be overturned if a) Your buddy called shotgun on another girl last time out and didn't do anything with it, b) Your buddy calls shotgun too many times, this means the shotgun calling buddy gives dibs on the other buddies, c) Your buddy keeps on getting all the action, meaning he is obliged to give you your chance providing you dont screw it up.
Rule 2: If you're at a bar/party and your buddy called shotgun, he gets first dibs. If you spot another hot girl, the buddy who called cannot call anymore for the rest of the night.
Rule 3: If said girl is a friend of your buddy (meaning he met her first), then its automatically assumed that he gets first dibs and will be assumed until he verbally gives up said priviledge.
Rule 4: The biggest exception is the "true feelings" argument. If your buddy called shotgun on said girl, he can only be obliged to give it up if you develop "true feelings" for said girl.
Rule 4a: True feelings can be explained by a) real tears (if your buddy does this over some new girl, you are given the right to stone him or knock him senseless), b) passive-aggressive behaviour and c) using the term "true feelings" (stoning is also allowed here).
Rule 4b: mis-using the term "true feelings" enables you to make your buddy wear an "I love the Titanic T-shirt."
Rule 5: If said girl has already been met by everyone, calling shotgun in her abscence is allowed. If no one has met said girl, calling advanced shotgun is prohibited.
Rule 6: Calling shotgun on a buddy's mother, sister, daughter, cousin or any related kin are grounds for being severely beaten with a sharp object.
Rule 7: Calling shotgun on your own current girlfriend is grounds to have to wear a "Hi. My name is Doug Christie" jersey (providing you clean it up after use and properly return it to Franz so he can wear it again).
That's the shotgun rules for vehicles and dating.
If any such ammendment is needed or advised, please comment.

Am I misunderstood?
The situation: Bored on a Sunday evening, decided to read (for the first time) forwarded friendster messages and saw this:
One day , a girl's mom died. She bathe in> > flowers petals so the girl made a BIG heart in the> > mom's room sayin i miss u. Everyday a petal> > dissapears. Soon it was the girls birthday. and> > wen she go takes a shower the flower petals> > were> > in the tub saying:> > > > honey, i miss u 2. i luv u but if u need me. Ill> > always be in ur heart. I will never let go of u,> > tell ur dad i luv him.> > > > MOM> > > > Post this in less then an hour or ur mom will die> > and never come back to u> >
So I decided to send her a message containing these words:

And she replied with these:
wilson dear, come on!!! ok that message was way off, but dont you freakin blame me for forwarding it, why did you open it in the first place?! Man, dont read my messages ok?! its such a shame you're on my network, you are not even my friend (oh yeah, i remember! you've used most of my friends huh? pathetic user). Damn! you added me you jerk! Wilson, dont fucking mess with me! after all these years. Dude, i really should start believing what people say about you, its true! you are Abnormal!so long ugly LOSER!!!!!
Ok, So you might think that I really had too much time. So much free time in fact such that I was able to pick a fight even though I never really intended to. (Oo na, Ke gaw na). But I don't think I deserved a violent reaction from her. Anyway, I don't even understand why she called me a "user". Its not like I ever asked any favor from her nor from her friends. Heck, I haven't talked to them for almost two years already!
On a deeper note, I just couldn't help but think that what was happening to us is a microcosm
of whats happening to the Philippines where people misunderstand each other. How I wish I could write a longer piece, but I got to go now, bye!

Random observations about women
1.) Why do women wear make-up to school?
2.) Why should women wait for a man to court them?
3.) Why would women cry when they break up with their boytoy for like..uhh...weeks? Even years?
4.) How important is looks, really?
5.) Why do women rush to have a husband...except for the biological time-clock factor that almost every women deny...

Random Thoughts...
10 questions I have wrestled with for the past couple of days...
1.)What exactly happened at the Council of Trent?
2.)Why is ethics hindering the growth of stem cell research?
3.)What would the Philippines be right now without EDSA 2? (Malamang hindi Agriculture Sec. si Sec. Yap hahahah)
4.)If there is a God, why are there people that are filthy rich and dirt poor?
5.)Does the determinability of what is good and bad depend on the person? If yes, then what can we exactly know?
6.)When will I graduate? Do I even want to graduate from college?
7.)How good will Lebron James be?
8.)What is the most effective way to end mass starvation?
9.)Who could be my future wife?
10.)Why can't math book writers write in plain English?

Lulunurin ko nlng kyo ng poker talk heh.
Here's a favorite hand I played in the cardplayer rooms.
I sat at the seat 3 (BB) and check the low pocket pair.
I flop trips and ahead from there on in.
I check the trips and wait for the rest to make a hand.
Turn gives nothing for everyone.
The river gives my money card 4h.
It gives seat 9 a flush and seat 5 trips.
It gives me a full house and wait for the bets.
Once they commit to the pot I raise them all-in.
They call and it's all over.
Here's a play by play.

Lechon
The aroma of the heated banana leaves overreaches the curtains of the windows and spills to the crowds outside the house
It rouses the man from where he has slumped in bed
He sleepily follows the cunning smell of fresh roasted pork
Until he breathes in the cloud of smoke rising from the shiny surface of the Lechon and is satisfied by the ceasing of the hunger he felt within.
Its bronze skin, sunkissed by the heavens;
Its smile with an apple,
A temptation to anyone,
Applealing to everyone.
The Succulent splendor of the Lechon,
Mystifies the precious flesh of the divine.
The luscious taste of its freshness,
Melts like the manna of heaven.
Unceasingly you'll want to crave for more.
From the rustling crisp of the skin,
To the piquant sauce it delights,
Surely there's nothing more like the Lechon.

You Will Forget Batangas
Ma. Pamela Arellano
Michael Glenn Kho
You Will Forget Batangas
If you stay in comfort too long
You will not know
The rewarding feeling
Of passing Sir Javier’s Filipino Psychology class.
You will forget
The feeling of getting enough sleep
Because you were awake the whole night,
Transcribing.
You will forget
The gratitude
From the old lady you interviewed.
Sure, if you stay in comfort too long
You will not know the pain
Of getting a negative score in your rural research paper.
You will forget
The thirst and the heat
Of walking from one Sitio to another
Trying to look for more interviewees.
You will forget
The clucking of the roosters
at dawn, waking you up.
You will forget
Being scolded very midnight…

More drinking games
Here's one that's cool to do, I'm giving 100 pesos to the blog member who can do this..
This game is called Beat the Barman.
taken from
http://www.webtender.com/handbook/games/beatthebarman.game
Another game for the insane, very very high buzz factor. As the story goes, nobody has ever won, lost or drawn.
Some tips :
don't play it in a crowded bar (you may lose 'your' barman).
Make sure the bar staff are friendly and can take a joke (very important to avoid a draw).
Don't make any plans for the following morning.
The steps are very simple:
The drinker approaches the bar and orders a shot drink (whisk(e)y, bourbon, vodka, etc., etc..).
The drinker pays for the drink with too much money (i.e. hand over a $5-bill for a $2 drink).
As the barman goes away to get change, the drinker shoots the shot.
When the barman returns with the change, go to step number 1.
The game ends in a number of possible ways:
drinker falls over (Result: Bar wins).
barman punches drinker's lights out (Result: Draw).
drinker gets thrown out (Result: Draw).
bar closes (Result: Drinker wins).
Isn't that cool? lol...
Here's another that's easier to do.
Gagawin namin ni Glenn and P3 to sa Bohol. heh.
This game is called the Century Club or the 100 club.
taken from
http://www.webtender.com/handbook/games/centuryclub.game
This is another straight forward simple game, the best kind. You will end up very drunk, very quickly if you play this.
The necessary materials are: people, lots of beer, and a designated time keeper.
Every minute for 100 minutes, each player takes a shot of beer (1 oz or 1.5 oz, you choose). At one oz, this equates to just short of nine cans of beer in just over 1.5 hours. That's a lot of beer.
The game starts out slow, but in the later rounds you wonder where the time went.
It helps to have a timekeeper because otherwise, you tend to miss a few shots in there.
Remember, not everyone makes it to 100. But if you do, feel proud.
There you go. heh.

Here's a drinking game for y'all. Don't ask me about the name cause I don't why it's called that heh.
Anyway here it is taken from
http://www.drinksmixer.com/games/49/
Requirements
1 deck of cards
4+ players
Rules
Shuffle a full deck of cards and scatter them in a pile in the middle of your table.
1. Each player takes a turn at picking one card. They flip over their card, displaying it to everyone. Each card has a different rule as follows:
Ace - Take one drink
2 - Take Two
3 - Take Three
4 - Questions: You look at the person of your choice and ask them a question, they must answer your question with a question and it keeps going until someone screws up. Ex. What is going on? Why do you touch yourself? You don't have to question the person who questioned you either. Make sure to make eye contact.
5 - Give five drinks
6 - I never. This is where the person who flipped the card says something they have never done and anyone who has must drink.
7 - Thumbmaster: This person puts their thumb down on the table whenever they want and the last one to put theirs down drinks. The thumbmaster can do this as many times as he wants until the next seven is picked.
8 - Categories: The first person gives a topic/category and in rotation, everyone else must give a kind. Ex: Toothpaste...Crest....Colgate.....Mentadent..etc.
9 - Rhyme: Everyone must give a word that rhymes with yours. Ex: Shoe...glue...you..etc
10 - Social: Everyone drinks.
Jack - Assholes drink...guys drink.
Queen - Bitches drink....girls drink.
King - Waterfall: This can be extremely hard, depending on your group of drinkers. It goes in order first being the one who picked the card and so on. The first person drinks as much beer as they can continuously and the 2nd person can't stop until they stop, the 3rd person can't stop until the 2nd person and so on. If you have big drinkers at the beginning, it is really difficult.
I've played this before and as long as everyone is into it, it's a lot of fun.

What happened to Ateneo-La Salle?
I remember the time when college was starting. La Salle was first to start so after their orientation, the jubilee chatroom in irc would get flooded with La Salle chants. A couple of weeks later, it would be Ateneo's turn after the orientation seminar. The first few weeks of conversation between us batchmates would consist of La Salle this and Ateneo that. I almost felt sorry for anyone who studied elsewhere because they were literally missing out on the coolest and most fun rivalry that's reached sharks and jets proportions.
The UAAP would heighten the sense of rivalry as it was one of the few years that Ateneo and La Salle had almost the same talent level. After every game, Ateneans would gloat after every win and La Sallians would do the same after their win. It was the sweetest day when the Blue Eagles beat the Green Archers in three, it was when it gave every Atenean bragging rights for at least a year.
But the coolest part of the Ateneo-La Salle thing was the basketball games in our batch. Remember that? A couple of weeks after school started when everyone was bleeding green or blue, we'd have this weekly basketball games between Ateneo and La Salle with other schools spread out in the two teams. I remember the La Salle squad would consist of Doug, Les, P3 (or longhorn, my new name for him, also "Dobs" for Adobe lol), Johann, Eric, Dong with Fu and being their other member. The Ateneo squad would consist of myself, Eug, Wil, Jeff, Jeco and Alden and Odell being our other members. It was basically a game for new school prides and bragging rights.
Today, it's down to just simple needling everytime anything Ateneo or La Salle comes up. I'm not an Atenean any more and most of the La Salle students are getting ready to graduate. Still, it was very cool to look back and appreciate that time when we naive Jubileans got taken back at what real rivalries looked like. So until the next time when we're all graduates and decide to play again regularly for fun, it will remain a fun memory that hopefully will be revived.
By the way, La Salle batchmates are probably too chicken to challenge us anyway. I mean, seriously, have they seen Eugene? (lol, that was my attempt to spark up old fires heh)

My crappy poem
Knock angel.
On my gate,
in my garden.
Your charm.
Laugh,
at my innocence.
But bring nothing.
Nothing,
nothing but bliss.
On my gate,
in my garden.
Your charm.
Laugh,
at my innocence.
But bring nothing.
Nothing,
nothing but bliss.
