Penny for your thoughts

Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.

Playing blackjack online

Friday, February 29, 2008

As I have said before, I am not big on gambling. I know a little bit of poker and that’s about it. If you remember I even said that I have only been inside a Casino once when I was a kid. And now that I am of age, the closest thing to a Casino I have ever been to is our company’s Christmas party which was themed Las Vegas.

Anyway, as card games may amaze one person, inside the casino land there are far more fun games to play such as the slot machines, who would not agree? But then of course there are still a lot of people who would stick to the cards right? Aside from poker, there’s blackjack which is also know as pontoon or twenty one. This is one of the most popular card games in the world. You see a lot of websites that review online casinos and rank which ones are best using categories such as payout rates among others. I would have to say these guides have totally helped a lot of online gamblers in terms of narrowing down their choices.

Most of these casino websites showcase blackjack as their main attraction or game. People, or should I say gamblers, just go crazy over them. These free online blackjack websites, one of which is Blackjackclub.com, offer the best entertainment when it comes to online gambling. Their website is very easy to navigate and it is available in most languages so where ever you are from, you can play blackjack with ease. If you are new to blackjack, that is not a problem at all, you can play their flash game for free on their website! This is a good way to train yourself so you can either play for money or go to a casino for the real thing. I tried it myself and I can say it truly is an online gaming experience.

Of coupons and discounts

Thursday, February 28, 2008

We all go crazy over super sales in malls, don’t we? Well, I know I do especially when it comes to shoes. I would never come out of a shoe store that’s on sale with less than three pairs. Iknoerite? My mom would always say, "What the hell do you need more shoes for? You only have two feet." And all I can come up with when I retal is "Well, they were on sale mom!" And I run quickly inside the bedroom, lock the door, try them on, then walk a few times back and forth in front of a mirror imagining a catwalk. Oh the happies! But shoes are not the whole point of this entry.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, most of us go gaga over cheap and discounted prices. I know I never experienced cutting coupons from the news paper just to get discounts in stores, but I did hoard those McSaver coupons being given outside of McDonald’s. LOL. :D People find means and would definitely go for cheaper prices, all the time. The internet is one place where people can haggle and save a lot on items like electronics or even jewelry. I never thought I’d buy stuff from the net, I always had the notion that it isn’t safe. But that did not stop online stores, there are a lot of ways now to keep a secure purchase over the internet and lots of creative ideas on how to sell, hence the sudden burst of e-stores. Take Couponchief.com for example, they offer discounted coupons from the widest range and variety of stores and products to customers. Shopping becomes so much easier and enjoyable since its not hefty on the pocket and its just a few clicks away. Who would want to waste their time cutting coupons from the newspapers?

Coffee break

Friday, February 22, 2008

I just got back from Subic, yes I was there for five days, and all I did was watch DVDs and eat (lots of kanin). Its Friday and I got nothing better to do, well…I do have work, but you know how I said before that my current job isn’t that fun anymore? Well today is just one of them lazy days so I, along with my officemates, stepped out for coffee at Tomas Morato. Too bad I had work cus if I didn’t I’d probably be having spiked coffee all the way in Makati and that would be the closest thing to alcohol I’m gonna get for the entire week because I have to work. BOO.

Anyway, it was a good two hours spent laughing and camwhoring. I post peekchurs since I got nothing else to say. NO? bleh.

Happy Hearts Day

Thursday, February 14, 2008

I haven’t been out on a date during Valentine’s Day, believe it or not. I’d rather stay home and watch movies and eat ice cream with the person, I don’t know, I find it embarrassing the same way I find carrying a bouquet of flowers embarrassing. LOL. What a weird huh? Back in school, I would always hate those who’d give me flowers (not that I was always given one, but I think it’s the lack of flower givers that made me feel awkward every time I got one) cus the bouquets are big and I can’t figure out a way to exit school premises without people noticing it. Also, I. AM. NOT. DEAD. So don’t give me flowers, give me chocolates instead, that’s what I’d always say. I’m not against Valentine’s though, plus it’s Kris Aquino’s birthday, another reason to celebrate it more. LOL. I don’t think lover and I have any plans for tonight…beer? No? I know we’re alone, it sucks. 

For those who have dates and/or a couple, have fun tonight, I hope you made reservations cus waiting in line outside a resto is not fun. Also leave early, cus traffic is awesome in the Philippines, didn’t you know? You know what else ain’t fun? If your date stood you up. Bah.  Got someone in mind? Well, HURRY. THE. FUCK. UP. and ask her/him already, what are you doing here reading? Did I not tell you about the restos being full and the awesome traffic? But then again, there’s tomorrow or the day after, which is NOT V day anymore! What no date? Don’t be bitter, you’ll get one next year.

A text message I got this morning : Love with all your heart and accept the unlovable side of others. Anyone can love a rose, but very few and only a great heart can include the thorns. WHAT A GAY.

HAPPY HEARTS DAY EVERYONE!

Taking care of the oldies

Friday, February 8, 2008

I haven’t seen my grandma in a long long time. I think the last time I did was when I was in third grade, and she was here in the Philippines just for a vacation. Back then we had fun times, though it wouldn’t last because she had to rest and all. Good thing I was really young so my parents and aunts were in charge of taking care of her. Now, I can’t imagine how youngsters deal with it when they live with grandparents and have to take care of them especially when parents are not around. I would truly have a stressful time doing so. Even talking on the phone with an old lady, a customer (which is some of the perks of my job ;) ) Im really finding it difficult already, especially when they have trouble hearing. No wonder a lot of people send them to nursing homes.

I imagine being stressed when they would have so much complain about pains here and there, and I just wouldn’t know what to do! But I think I found something that can help and I’m glad. Most kids are always on the internet these days and they could get almost everything out of it, when it comes to taking care of granparents, there is an answer too. YES. You can find a lot of helpful information on better caring for the elderly. The site even has this community forum that is most enjoyable. Not only would it help one attend to their grandparents, but it also adds to one’s knowledge on healthcare among other things. I guess, you can now look forward to another day with Grandma, because Better Caring is just a click away!

I should be grumpy and shit because of all this, but im singing to NE-YO’s Because of You. Oh the giddies…will somebody wipe this stupid smile off my face? And why am I seeing hearts everywhere?

(Puzzle photo taken here. You’re suppose to find seven hearts hidden in the picture, which i found in a matter of 3 seconds, i dunno cus its almost Valentine’s?)

About

Hi Im Penny. Im a Solutions Architect slash Subject Matter Expert in some big company working for another big company that deals with transmission of digital data through loops and loops of the local telephone networks in the US. Welcome to my, little as it may be, space on the interwebs where I attempt to paint a picture of what goes on in my brain using words. A rather futile effort in making boredom seem interesting. Prepare to be amazed! Well, NO, not really.
