a foreigner's view of the philippines

i saw this article on cardplayer.com.

an interesting read if you have time.

 

not much really... and s'more lyrics...

haven't been up to too much lately.

mostly poker hahaha... i played in a tournament my friend hosted at his house last sunday and was the first to bust out. i played my A-A strong and got called to the river by a donkey who was lucky enough to suck out on me... but i'm over it... a bit... i'll save you from the bad beat story. ethel placed 4th and cashed in it so i don't feel so bad.

i played a sit & go that same night and was lucky enough to win it, making back 3/5 of my buy in to the tournament. so it's all good.

that was sunday, monday we played a ring game at another friend's house and i won "big" (big enough) in that one. didn't feel like playing my normal, tight aggressive game and went cuckoo. i won the first pot of the night on a bluff with a 7-2 offsuit and showed it. played a little tight my stack dwindled a little so went back to playing wacko and won 3 huge pots - all on REALLY SICK bluffs (trust me people, i don't bluff often) and showed all of them and always got paid off when i really had a hand.

haven't played since monday and i'm itching to play again.

heading over to tagaytay for the weekend because a friend's wedding on saturday. we're leaving tomorrow so we could get a little r&r (and maybe a poker game or two) as well.

and as promised, more insanity...

again, if you know what this is about, good job!

"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)"
Metallica
Master of Puppets, 1986

Welcome to a time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same things every night
I see your freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No thing to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can’t see it’s why my brain says rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what’s out there
And cannot breath the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I’m insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He’s getting better, can’t you tell ?

No more can keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
The mirror stares back hard
Kill, it’s such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again

(bow!)

later!
