Poker Night

Aedner, Ogz and I had dinner first at Yoshinoya. Beng was celebrating a party with her new boss & company at Red Box. Table was also in the mall with Dots. Nikks was with Joyish. Later tonight, we plan to group together for a poker party at Table's house in ParaƱaque.

After dinner, Ogz and Aedner bought some booze & chips at SM. I joined there later after checking out the cigarette section and People are People in G4. Around 9:30ish, Tabel picked us up with Nikks & Beng. Along the way to Table's house, we kept on teasing Beng because she was already smashed and had to pee badly.

When we reached Table's house, the first thing we noticed was the big well-kept garden on the left. Plastic tables at the center, wooden benches (reminiscent of the Regine-Richard movie, "Ikaw Lamang, Hanggang Ngayon"), and capiz light fixtures.


We immediately prepared the tables for our poker game. Ogz gave us a refresher course. Beng and Jowee (arrived without Nate nor Bess) were first time players. I haven't played for months now too.

Tabel served us some white wine. The Asti was the best! I also asked her if they have some leftover food. Nikks didn't wanna drink because she was hungry. Table brought us some caldereta cooked by her mom. 'twas delish!!!

We had some pork rinds too but unforch, some gray cat grabbed the bag and rushed away with it. 'twas freakin' hilarious!!!


Poker game is always fun and exciting especially when you play with crazy friends. There was a few booboos too: Aedner and Nikks had to show their cards prematurely. I got some full houses!!! Table had to fold many times because of her absences. Am not sure if Nikks or Beng was the first to go. Tabel and Jowee had to split Beng's chips because she was on the phone for like... forever! Jowee was next to go. Then it was Ogz. The last three was Aedner, Tabel, and I. I lost to Aedner. Table, the Poker Queen, lost too.

Around 4, Aedner suggested that we play 7-Up, a drinking game. The players will count from 1 to 7 while pointing either to his left or right. The pointed target has to be focused because the direction is unpredictable. On 7, the player will shout, "7-Up", but this time the hand is placed not across the chest but on top of the head, again pointing to either left or right. When the player makes a mistake (like, if it takes him too long to point or the hand placement is wrong), he has to drink. We drank beer and vodka ice (a crowd favorite). I think Nikks had the most number of mistakes.

After the game, we had a very interesting discussion.

We finished the party around 5. I was concerned if the MRT is already operational because it was too early. Nikks, Aedner and Beng dropped me off at Mantrade. Kept on dozing off inside. Teehee... Reached Bulacan around 7 and took my much needed rest ;oP
