momon's bachelor pad

just got back from poker night at momon's..fun fun fun!

first, we played two rounds of poker. both rounds, carlo and i were the last two left playing. first round, he beat me (i don't remember how). second round - HA! - i beat him! he had some card and an ace, i had a jack and a queen. nag-all-in siya then i matched what he bet. during the flop, there was an ace. for the turn, a king came out. so i could only win if a ten came out for the river - AND IT DID! HA!

too bad we were just playing for fun (boo!).

second, i got to sang my heart out since i was able to hog the mic. ayaw nila kumanta eh, so ako na lang. okay lang naman, my voice ain't that bad! hahaha.

third, i am now a certified kameratista! momon got to make the flash of my SLR (NOT digital) to work..yahoo!! now i can use it at night! he also taught me how to use it -- apperture, shutterspeed..da works. asteeeg. ngayon, di na lang siya accessory around my neck..i actually now know how to use it properly (i'd just play around with it prior to my lessons with momon). my goal is to be able to beautifully take portraits of people and to completely capture the different moods and emotions conveyed in their faces, just like julia roberts' character in the movie closer.

fourth, momon recorded me singing! COOL SOBRA..i felt like a recording artist :) he had the equipment and all -- headsets, a mic and an ibook! really really cool, it was nice to hear how my singing voice sounds recorded. again, my voice ain't that bad! hehehe.

it was a really fun night. at first, i was thinking of backing out already since i was really tired. i just wanted to go home and rest. aside from that, i suddenly wasn't in the mood for poker anymore and was in the mood to do other things (work on my project, watch tv, read a book or go out with friends). but i'm glad i went despite my lack of sleep because i wouldn't have "accomplished" all of the above had i decided to " ditch" poker night (hehe, sorry!). i was even able to drag claud (we were together coz of merienda get-together with lorie, rizza and mike) to come with me and she got to meet my basketball friends. hope she didn't get bored though.. *wink wink*.

anyway, watch out for our amici experience in my food blog..still under construction!
