Phuket is almost coming to an end and I feel like is too early. Three weeks ago, Nathanael (another friend that I met in BsAs) joined Magne and I. He’s going to Malasya today so we played Chinese Poker the whole night and now, here I am, writing about how fast time goes by and [...]

Phuket, Thailand II
I have been here for maybe 5 days. I would think of this place as a place I could live forever – might be because I just got here. I haven’t felt that with many cities though, I also came to the realization that probably a small town fits me better than a huge city. [...]
When I get upset
I use to be a rage machine. Literally. I would get upset about small things, big things, medium size things, everything would make me upset. I was touchy. Some might say that the correct word is “intolerant”, I say maybe… Fortunately for the most part, I have outgrown my touchiness and probably it takes a [...]
Santa Claus doesn’t exist
Up to this date when I discovered that Santa Claus didn’t exist I don’t remember feeling such sadness. It might sound dramatic, it really was. We don’t really use the figure of Santa Claus, in my family at least, it’s called the son of Jesus. The story is pretty much the same. He brings gifts [...]
How babies are made
I have somewhat of a clear image of this day. It was long time ago. It occurred to me to ask my mom how do I make a baby? I think the fact that my brother was newly born had something to do with this. My mom told me that babies are made out of [...]
Inside The Subculture of Professional (online) Poker Players
This is a parody and is something that was born in 2+2 Forums and became a hit among poker players. Rub, rub… Lingo There are a lot of acronyms and words that are very common in the language of the majority of poker players. The younger I will argue, the most they use it, in [...]
The sun is following me
I had this theory around 14 years ago. When I was 5. When I lived in an apartment and it was my mom, my dad and me, only the three of us. Nevermind, If I was 5 my brother was 2… In the afternoon my uncle would come and pick me off to bring me [...]
Extreme Paragliding
I know, the title is an oxymoron. Paragliding is very very safe far from extreme. This is basically something that happened last year in Colombia and I think it was something like this… Luis and I were in this very small town in Colombia and we heard this town was famous for some “extreme” sports [...]
Gambling Like a Pro
Is somewhat of a generalization that the life of poker players is full of gambling. Depending of your definition of gambling I will have to agree to some extent. Besides poker there are some “gambles” that are more or less common in the poker world. Such as: Credit Card Roulette, Flipping coins and playing Rock, [...]
Uncertainty
I was a bit nostalgic today. I went through some old archives in the time machine and started to read some of my old writings, when I was 14-15 years old. Now it seems like that was long time ago but it has only been 5-4 years since then. Life has change in so many [...]
