When I heard that a local poker tv show is on the works and they're looking for a host, I didn't hesitate. I WANTED TO BE PART OF IT! Yes, I wanted to host the show, but I wanted to be part of the production more. Having played poker for more than two years, and being a blogger / writer / PR consultant, I thought I had the credentials to be part of the show. Two nights ago, I went to the production company's office to audition, telling the director I would also be interested in being a writer for the show or as part of the production team. Yesterday morning, I received a message that I have been chosen to be part of the team. WOOHOO! And that there would be a meeting and technical rehearsal at around 3 pm. Ooops! I had a workshop/dinner with my friends. I wen to the workshop/dinner but left for about an hour for the meeting at the poker club. Met the two hosts, Carol Smith who has been a poker player and a former DJ. I told the director that she would be the perfect host. And I'm happy they agreed. The…

10 for 2010
In solidarity with my colleagues at Avatar Media, here's my list of ten things I want to accomplish in 2010: Wear a tankini. Which implies I must lose weight and stay fit and healthy. I hope to accomplish this by May 2, 2010, the date of a planned island tour. Buy a netbook. Save money. Budget efficiently. Do not create a new blog. I already have too many blogs on my own and I have several others that I am maintaining. I need to focus more in maintaining the ones I currently have. Read 5 books. Last year, I spent most of the year just re-reading books I have already read. Must read more. Attend dance classes. Last year, I made a goal of attending culinary classes and I would like to think that was a major success. This year, I want to re-kindle my love for dancing, learn new skills, and stay fit. Travel around Mindanao. Must visit at least 3 places. I want to travel but don't have much budget. Plus, I think Mindanao is a really great place to explore. Organize at least 4 events. The Davao Bloggers and the Avatar Media Team both have a lot…
I Want to be a Celebrity Poker Player
Hello there! I have a new dream... to be a celebrity poker player. Why? Because I know I know I'm a pretty good poker player but don't have enough bankroll and not enough time to invest to become a really good professional poker player. But I do want to play in the big tournaments. How you ask? By being a celebrity poker player. Why? You ask again. Because I am really poker enthusiast, and I even blog about it. How much more enthusiastic can one be? I actually work for two poker clubs. Simultaneously. Another reason why I want to be a celebrity poker player? Endorsements. Endorsements = money = bankroll. Also schwag... HEHE! Tignan niyo naman... I'm not bad looking, right? And I have quite a good following via my blogs and I am a very active social media user... Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, YouTube... name it, I have an account which I actively use. So if you're my sponsor, you get more than enough mileage. LOL! Plus, I'm a girl. A girl with big boobs. So I do attract some attention everytime I play. And yeah, I've actually won a major tournament... and have joined a lot of others.…
Poker Face
A few days after comparing my love/relationship skills to how I play poker, I saw this music video... How timely! Here's the lyrics to Radio Gaga's Poker Face: POKER FACE Radio Gaga Mum mum mum mah Mum mum mum mah I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it) Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh I'll get him hot, show him what I've got Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh, I'll get him hot, show him what I've got Can't read my, Can't read my No he can't read my poker face (she’s got to love nobody) Can't read my Can't read my No he can't read my poker face (she’s got to love nobody) P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah) P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah) I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it) Russian Roulette is not the same without…
This is How I Love
Alternate Title: The Way I Play DotA and Poker is Also The Way I Love Subtitle: P*TANG INA! SATC and Grey's Anatomy Marathons are EEEVIL! I'm a pretty aggressive person who does and say things when and how I want to do and say it. I curse more than the average person, and I go out and do things that my relatives aren't proud of. In fact, they cringe at most of the things I do. One recent conversation with my relatives pointed to me as having inherited most, if not all, of the bad habits of my aunts and uncle: academic underachievement, drinking, gambling, and more. I'm a bad girl, I know. But when it comes to love, I am no bad girl and no aggressor. I love the way I play DotA. As a DotA player, I play support most of the time. I take care of my teammates and make sure they look and perform well. And by golly, I am the same way in most relationships. I'm a nurturer. I take care of people. (SHUDDAP!) I make sure they eat on time, do things the right way, and do the things they have to accomplish. I…
Hectic Schedule is Hectic
Yes indeed. I haven't been blogging much because work, work, and boylets poker have made my life hectic and busy. First off, WordCamp is FAST APPROACHING! GRAWRRR! As logistics girl, I am in charge of the venue, physical arrangement, materials and supplies, kits, badges, food, booths, and many other things that I do not want to think off right now. Then, there's one wedding this September, one on October, three on December, and two on January. Wish me luck! (Plus, my batchmates are pressuring me to organize the batch reunion yet again.) I was also kinda helping out my cousin with his event. And this weekend is Kadayawan weekend, and several digital photographers and blogger from other parts of the country are coming over. On top of that, I have tons of blogging backlog: AutoRevolution and Drifting experience, Davao Food Trips, Museo Dabawenyo feature, N95 reviews, and tons of other stuff. The only thing keeping me insane these days are DotA which I rarely get to play, movies, and poker nights. Poker nights have been fun and relaxing in many different ways. Secret muna bakit. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So far, I haven't been losing money, and I have won a couple of…
