I visited a ship recently where all the people who work there are volunteers from around the world. I took the opportunity to get to know the culture of the various countries. Truly, with staff from 45 different countries, there are many things to learn about!

I wondered how they are able to spend their free time when they are sailing in the middle of the ocean. What sort of entertainment do they get? Although they are assigned extremely tiny bunks, at least they do have pretty good internet connection. This means that they could get online to get whatever entertainment they need.

I was talking to these guys about playing poker online and they say that it’s one of their favorite pastimes! How could that be when they don’t speak or understand English well? They say they play greek poker. Ah, I should have known that if I could play poker in English, people who speak other international languages can also play poker in their native language!

They even showed me the Greek version of PokerStar.com and of course, I couldn’t understand a word. As the saying goes, it looked like Greek to me. In this case, it really was Greek! I showed them the English site that I spend a lot of time on playing online poker. They say that although they know some English, they are not that comfortable with it.

I wonder if we could look for all the languages of all the different nationalities on-board. What do you think? Does Pokerstars have websites in 45 different languages? My new friends told me that they will be docked here until the end of the month. They say that if I visit them just before they set sail, they should be able to let me know, when all their colleagues have had the chance to play some poker online!

As a blogger, one of the problems I face, is filling my blog with original content. It really is not easy to create interesting content day after day, or at least once every couple of days, that will keep readers coming back regularly and keep them logged on to our blog for longer than a few seconds each time they visit. Yes, that’s the reality of blogging, and I believe all bloggers, and even webmasters, will agree.

I found that the easy way out of my problem, is to embed Games on my blogs and websites. Yes, this is a perfect solution, but only if you have a fun-themed blog or website, otherwise games will look out of place!

I get many of my games from RoundGames.com. This is a very user-friendly games site which allows us to play games on-site, and for content creators and webmasters like me to quickly embed a fun game on our site. If you know how to embed YouTube videos to your post, you will know how to make the best use of the games offered by RoundGames.com. It really is that easy!

Do spend some time to browse through the website first as there are many genre of games available. You will be able to better engage your web audience with the right games appropriate to your niche.

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.

It’s only the third day of Chinese New Year and I am already tired from entertaining guests. They come for early in the morning and stay for long hours, gambling. You know, gaming is one of the activities that the Chinese get involve in every Chinese New Year, it’s like tradition already. While I have no problems with social gaming, I don’t really like the making of small talk. I run out of things to say all the time, hence I prefer to play online where I am not obligated to chat if I don’t feel like it.

I actually spend a lot of time on online poker, and am getting quite good at it. While people may say that practice makes perfect and it truly does, I think it helps when one goes through the tutorials that are available on poker sites like Poker Stars. I like this website in particular because it is very comprehensive. On this site, I am also able to look at all the on-going promotions from sign-on bonuses to tournament bonuses.

It is so convenient to play online now and poker is accessible to so many people thanks to the internet. I remember last time we had to drive out of state to play at a casino. What is different about Poker Stars is that we could manage our own poker rooms and invite our friends to play with us. It’s not difficult; just download the application, install and launch it to start our own “club”.

We can start our very own home games and send out invitation codes to our friends once we have scheduled our games. I prefer playing online than having them play at my home because it means I don’t have to cleanup the mess when they leave! Yeah, this is definitely going to be the way every Chinese New Year from now onwards!

My friend found out that I like to play a lot of games online. Well, it’s my form of entertainment since I stay at home much of the day and also sort of like therapy for me especially when I am stressed.

She told me about this website that she discovered recently called Sandlot which gives away free downloads of full PC games every week. New games will be released for free download every Monday.

I just followed this website and I already like their current free game of the week called “Barnyard Invasion” and if you want it too, you will have to go and download your copy and unlock it. Each game title is offered for free for one week only so if you missed it, I am sorry you will have to do without it as a new game will be offered on Monday.

Let me know how you like these free PC games offered by Sandlot Games.

Did you read about the British boy who spent over a thousand Pounds on FarmVille on Facebook recently, exchanging real cash for FarmVille virtual cash? I think that anyone who does that has too much money to waste. People like me play free games only and if I level up slow, then so be it. There are so many other games to play in the meantime.

Here is the link that I was told would give the FarmVille farmer free $1 FarmVille dollar. You have to be logged into your Facebook account and then only click on the link. It worked for some people but I tried it and didn’t get anything in my Gift Box. My FV cash was still a miserable $5. Oh well…. but no, I am not going to trade real for virtual cash!

Try this link for your free $1 FarmVille dollar and let me know if it works for you!
