I Love This...

I sing of little dreams
Of lovers, islands, secrets and poetry
Stumming tales from the heart
you Know they resonate in you and me

Now I'll take the stage
But I'll always be
Among you where I belong
To rock your hearts out

I'm supernaturally hypnotized
I'm singing our song like I've never been so high

Paparapapa love ko to
Paparapapa love ko to

I hear the beat from above
It guides my heart and fills the groove of my soul
No matter where it takes me
On the same ground is where we will always be

Now I'll take the stage
But I'll always be
Among you where i belong
To rock your hearts out

I'm supernaturally hypnotized
I'm singing our song like i've never been so high

Paparapapa love ko to
Paparapapa love ko to

As I take you to my dreams
Soring high above among the stars
Will it keep my feet safe and warm on the ground?

Now I'll take the stage
But I'll always be
Among you where i belong
To rock your hearts out

I'm supernaturally hypnotized
I'm singing our song like i've never been so high

Paparapapa love ko to
Paparapapa love ko to

Casino experience

Jeco and I went to Casino Filipino awhile ago and it was a lot of fun.

The game was no limit hold'em at 20-40.
Sadly, we didn't bring enough money and we could only buy in for 1,500.
That meant we only had under 40 bets to play with.
And since pots would run to 2000 per hand, my plan was pretty much to find a hand and move in hoping to double up.
I folded some hands I wish I could have played because the raises were huge pre-flop so I had to much QJ and QT.
At the BB, I checked the blind with K2 of spades. There were 7 people to the flop.
Flop was 568 with two spades. I checked. Someone bet out 200 and I called along with 4 others.
Turn was the Q of spades giving me the king high spade flush. I checked. Someone bet out 500 and everyone called. I had two choices. Raise all-in or call the bet.
But because I didn't have enough to call a river bet anyway, I moved all in with my last 700 hoping to scare away two pairs in case the board paired.
Unfortunately, I got called by the nut flush. And that was it for me.

It was a fun experience because I've never played on a casino before. I was glad to see that the other players weren't good. One lady on my table, in fact, called a hand to the river with the board showing AK773. The lady had QJ. They weren't all like that, but still.

What made it hard for me playing on a casino was that the atmosphere is a little different. It's weird cause I'm used to higher limits so the money didn't really scare me, but it was just that the feel of it is different. I'm used to home games and I'm comfortable reading a book and I know at least one other person on the table. At the casino, Jeco was at anotber table so it was kind of strange.

Anyway, I'm coming back on Tuesday with the max buy-in. 40 bets is not enough to play with so I didn't get a chance to make some plays. It doesn't look like a hard game to crush so I'm looking to do just that. If y'all want to join us, let me know.

Oh and in case you're wondering how much would be good to buy-in at a 20-40, I'd say 2000 at the very least. That's 50 bets and will allow you to play with a little more breathing room. But if you can, 4000 would be a good amount, especially if you plan on playing a lot of hands.

Alright, I'm off to play at a tourney.

another controversy for me hehehehe

I posted this message on the yahoogroups of the presidents of SOA. Let's just say I received less than flattering remarks for this.

Una, napapansin namin na sobrang mainitan ang laro paminsan nasinisisi na sa referee ang pagkatalo ng isang koponan, kahit walangbasehan. Iyong iba diyan, kaibigan natin at kapwa ka-SOA na pumipitong mga laro niyo kahit hindi naman kinakailangan. Bigyan din natin nggalang ang mga kuya na referee ng men's basketball. Kung kaya'tnapagpasyahan namin na papalabasin na namin sa covered courts angkahit sino man na sisigaw o magkukumento ng hindi kanais-nais sareferee o kahit na sa kalaban. Kung ayaw niyang lumabas, papatigilinkaagad-agad namin ang laro at tatalunin ang org niyo kahit lamang pakayo ng 1000 puntos.Ikalawa, nahihirapan kami na magsimula ng maaga dahil walang nagdadalang bola. Kung kaya't kung walang nagdala sa kahit sinong koponan namaglalaro ay papasyahin namin na double disqualification. Puwede kayohumiram sa P.E. dept pala.Ikatlo, sana dumating kayo ng sa tamang oras. Kung hindi kayodumating sampung minuto pagkatapos ng nakatakdang oras ay papasyahinna namin na default na kayo. Hindi na kami ulit magtatawag sa mgaorgs kung nasaan na kayo.Ikaapat, walang tataas ng boses sa amin kapag wala kaming atraso sainyo. Sobrang pagod na kami sa soac at hindi na namin kailangan pa ngmga magtataas ng boses sa amin at magrereklamo. Ayos lang sa aminpag-usapan ang mga puna niyo tungkol sa soac pero sana huwag pagalit.Kaagad-agad namin gagawing default ang susunod na MGA laro ninyokapag may isa pang magtaas ng boses sa kahit isa sa amin sa soaccommittee.Maaaring magsaya pa rin tayo sa soac ng nagbibigay-galang lalo na samga kapwa kapatid natin sa SOA.
