Although I have wanted to play Poker well for a long time now, it is difficult without guidance. None of my friends would teach me because they think a girl should not play Poker. It’s as if it’s a male sport. They have forgotten that there are female Poker champions as well!
You’d probably remember that my interest in Poker started after watching a drama a couple of years ago. Since then, I only had the opportunity to play poker online and losing badly. Luckily, there are free online poker games for me to test my “skills”, if any.
Even though I may not play well, I do dream that one day, I could play in a proper online Poker room and not get trashed. So far, I have read Poker room reviews which seem interesting but not daring to try them out yet.
Also, I only recently just discovered that there are Poker forums which I could participate in. That sounds like fun. I love forums and the sense of community they forge, particularly when we all share the same interest be it in Poker or something else. I should spend more time in Poker boards and probably pick up some Poker tips and tricks and implement them in my game, instead of just reading Poker books or watching Poker videos. Don’t you agree?

I believe I mentioned before that one of the best designed blogs or websites are scrapbooking sites. While designing sites are also great looking, I prefer the colors used in scrapbooking sites. That’s my kind of color; girly, young, fresh and refreshing.
Last night, I remembered that I was supposed to help my sister look for some scrapbooking freebies and ideas. She has just started this hobby and has been doing traditional scrapbooking, which she says is a little costly.
That’s why I suggested helping her look for scrapbooking freebies on the web. There are many, and I have featured quite a few sites before but I don’t remember coming across this Digital Scrapbook Faves before. I absolutely adore the template of this site. It’s so sweet! Check it out! I feel like taking up scrapbooking as well but I definitely cannot spare the time at this point. SIGH!!!
My friends and I were discussing about the online casinos and how it seems like a really exciting industry. How many new casinos are established every day, we do not know, but it looks like the only business unaffected by the bearish economy.
A hot topic among us is which casino is the best. I always tell the guys that this is very subjective and there is no one “best” casino because it all depends on what each player looks for in a casino. We spend time and money in an online casino but some may want to win lots of money, some play for the thrill of it while some think of it as a social arena.
Whatever you look for in a casino, I am sure we all prefer to play in one that would give us the most bang for our money. It could be a major online casino like Rushmore Casino, or it could be a new and lesser known online casino.
Casino Scrutiny is a website that attempts to help us decide where to spend our time and money on. These are the casinos that the administrator has played in so they are all based on his own personal experience. If you want to know what he thinks of Golden Casino, Mummys Gold Casino or other major casinos, check out Casino Scrutiny.
I remember writing about Mom Central a little while back. It’s a community and resource website for mothers and mothers-to-be. I don’t hang out there because I am not a mother (yet) LOL but I have good news for you.
Mom Central is giving away a Timbuk2 bag pictured below, one only, so the competition is pretty stiff. What you need to do is to leave a comment on their blog post HERE by 26th August, 2008. There’s not much time so head over there. I don’t mind! 
Just come back and let me know if you are the lucky winner!
I guess, like most freebies, this one is only open to residents of the United States. Don’t you wish you live there too just so that you could participate in all these sweepstakes and freebie giveaways?
Have you already taken your summer vacation? I haven’t although the summer will soon be over! Hearing my friends talk about their funny summer vacation last night reminded me of the one where my sister, her boyfriend and I drove to Atlanta. My sister lives in Tennessee, so Atlanta is just a neighboring state. However, we were all unfamiliar with the roads and ended up going around and round, losing our way and ended up at the police station, where the police had to show us the way back to our hotel. It was embarrassing then but it’s funny now that it’s over!
The next time I visit Atlanta, I guess I would be better off going on one of the very popular Atlanta tours offered by Trusted Tours & Attractions! At least I would not have to waste time going around in circles but I am planning my next vacation to London, preferably, as I would like to visit the Madame Tussauds wax museum.
Anyway, if you are planning your vacation, you may want to check out the online travel guides on the website of Trusted Tours & Attractions. By the way, I have good news for you. Sign up for their newsletter at http://www.trustedtours.com/newsletter.aspx to stand a chance to win a US$150 Magellan’s Gift Certificate. But hurry, the closing date is 31st August, 2008. You won’t want to miss this!
There’s an “Italian” couple who lives nearby who runs an “Italian” restaurant in our city. I say “Italian” because the man is Italian but the wife is a lady from my hometown.

The funny thing is that the wife is the cook in the Italian restaurant and I was telling my mother, why should I go to their restaurant for Italian food when it’s not even an authentic Italian restaurant? I might as well cook my own “Italian” dishes, right?
So, I went online to search for some Italian recipes and found this real Italian recipes website called Olive Garden. If you are also looking to whip up some Italian food in your kitchen, you may want to check Olive Garden. There’s a good selection of Italian recipes that you could experiment with.
Have you ever wondered what the single thing that you cannot live without is? This has never crossed my mind before but the other day, I dropped my iPhone and although it was fine, that night, I had a nightmare that my screen was cracked. I woke up thinking that if it was broken, I would need to buy a new one. I guess if there’s one thing that I cannot live without, it’s the iPhone. I mean, it’s a cell phone, music and video player, handheld computer, camera, calculator, notepad, GPS, game console and more, all in one device. If the Earth was destroyed but I survived, I would have taken the iPhone to a new planet.
