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

Litera2

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…

argh! Isang malaking kalokohan para sa price ng tickets! Makinig kayo..

Eto ang mas nakakagago, yung promo price, para lng sa mga senior citizens, or kng cnu pa na walang 20% discount na, like the students! Sbrang tanga tanga nila argh!!

Wag magbayad ng late, wag na magpabook sa good earth travel agency, at wag na magpaarikaso sa mga taong ndi marunung sa booking hehe (isa ako dun).

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.

pahabain nyo pa =)

F.U.B.A.R.

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.
