no love

Last saturday, my buddy Phil called me up and said that he was on his way towards my side of the bay to bring the boat for service over in Dixon. Seeing as that I don't have any plans, I decided to go with him as I wanted to fix some of my fishing gear that was stored with the boat. After dropping off the boat at the dealer, we decided to make a little side trip to Cache Creek Casino.
At first it was good, as I was waiting for him to get out of the washroom, I proceeded to win $45 at a slot machine nearby. We then proceeded to the breakfast buffet and indulged ourselves with some longanisa, tocino, garlic fried rice and of course some eggs, and other yummy stuff.

Afterwards, my luck changed, I played the video poker machine in the high limit section and proceeded to lose money after about 45 mins. Then I decided to play blackjack and the dealer cleaned me out after a while. I then went on to check on Phil and he was up and down. So I played some more and donated more money to the establishment. When I finally met up with Phil he got cleaned out as well. So we decided to call it a day and went home.

On the way home I forgot that my phone was off, so when I turned it on, I had 2 voicemails, one was from drama queen, asking, oddly enough, directions to the casino because her parents were in town and they wanted to go. It was pretty funny how we filipinos are attracted to gambling on the weekends.

Sunday was rehearsal and it went well. Even 7 gongs wasn't as tiring as it was in previous weeks, but man, those short guys need to move 'cause one step from me equals to 1 1/2 for them and there were times where I almost ran over manok who was in front of me. It also caught me off guard when Kuya Rudi pulled Tadek out of the blue, I had to scramble through my memory to figure out the beat as we haven't done it before and I heard the music back in 2001. Talk about coming up with something on the spot.

After rehearsal some of us went to Hahn's Hibachi in Jack London Square, man was it grubbin'. I especially liked the flaming peaches dessert, where you can still taste the brandy....yum-yum.

This wednesday I'm going to the Sharks game against the Canucks, with Tina, Ed, and Ernie. We better win 'cause if we don't Tina-maan will never let me hear the end of it (being that we are the only two that really follow hockey over here). Go Sharks!!!!!!!!!!
