It’s the start of a new week. My friend asked me if I had a fruitful week. I don’t know how to answer her question. That’s because I spent many hours in front of the computer playing poker! Play poker online, you ask? Yes, that’s what I did. I didn’t know that I would be so caught up playing online poker. It was almost like an addiction!
Actually, the reason I stayed at home during the weekend was because I wasn’t feeling well. I didn’t feel like going anywhere or doing anything at all. A friend wanted to accompany me at home but I told her to get online and play poker together with me. And she did! Hahaha! So now you know how I could spend hours playing.
I may play poker a lot but I am not good in the game at all. I did watch many game tutorial videos but I think luck plays a major role in winning or losing a game and I never seem to have lady luck on my side! Maybe it was because I was trying to win my first game that I ended up playing for so long last weekend. I did win in the end, thankfully!
Also, it’s funny that even though I play poker regularly, I have only played it online all these while. It would be great if I could play it in a real casino but at this rate, with my poor gaming skills, I would be embarrassing myself in public. I do hope that one day, I can hold my own in public but right now, I’d just rather polish my game play online!
In any case, I will continue to learn to play poker by reading as much as I could and play online at my convenience, and not necessary with real money either.

My sister told me that she may be going to Las Vegas this summer. What, again? America is a large country and it is a pity that people are not exploring other cities but just going to the same ones that they have already been before. In fact, many people have not even the chance to see their neighbouring states!
Well, this website Explore Minnesota, has many travel information and brochures that one could request for. There’s a Summer Getaway Kit 2011 for you to plan your summer vacation in Minnesota. It includes a Minnesota Highway map, a 2011 Minnesota Travel Guide and a Buy One Get One Free coupon for Caribou Coffee. Awesome travel pack if I may say so.

The blog, Sweet Greens, runs contests and giveaways quite regularly; I believe I have wrote about one of the contests before already. Today, I bumped into this contest by chance. It’s a t-shirt contest with prize sponsored by JACA: Jus Animalium Culture Apparel. I really love t-shirts, especially when they are free and especially when they are animal themed.
