yeah... me and my ex-gf are back in each other arms...

we talked last aug 9 late evening, the first since we parted last june, at first my heart feel good after knowing she was ok na... but later when knowing she was doing, in my personal view, stupid things after our relationship, and since she was great to be gf and i dont believe in long distance relationship (putting me in a situation that my gf must behere in cagayan valley), i told her that its better for her to come back to me... the first thing she asked is "will i accept her back?" i gladly said "yes" and she was very happy then and said she will come back to me... but later after knowing my new position on our new relationship, she backed off... and after many txt exchanges and many things happened after... including travelling to manila last aug 12 to meet her... and let her see how an investor life is... ... ... ... ... in the end... we are back... and she is kissing and loving me zillion times... hehehe

its back to work again me... still tired from the 16 long hours trip from manila to cagayan valley... but as you know, working here is resting... and surfing the net is a bit tiring... hehehe....

its end of january 2006...

a day before chinese new year...

and m alone at macau...

i lost 300,000php in 20 minutes a day before...

and i want to go back home...

but i lost my macau - philippine macau air ticket...

even if i have the ticket, i wont have a seat until a week after because its chinese new year and all seats are taken and reserved...

i have with me my celphone, its international roaming but i wont call anyone from the philippine...

its my fault to be in that position...

i really did something very stupid!!!

a disgrace to my family...

my dad was so angry he ask me not to go home...

probably taking my life is an option...

but i will go home without asking for their help...

all i have is 90 hk dollar...

how to budget and survive this amount for 7 fucking days is already a big problem...

and if ever i will survive after 7 fucking days... whats next?

no money mean no air ticket...

no air ticket means no way home... ...

i slept at the stairs of hotel fire exit a night before...

and where m i gonna sleep tonight? i dont know...

and i hadnt taken a bath for two days...

and the weather was so cold at 10% celsius in the evening...

i need to go home and start again...

i have been in this kind of situation many times before...

and i was able to survive and start again...

but how...

tenthlivesss

well... i think my attitude was not appropriate yesterday... if i was investing yesterday then it would do me no good... losing everything i got is very likely...

this was the kind of rage that makes me lost everything.... ountless time....

probably i have to make adjustments.... lots of adjustments....

download NEW PARADIGM FOR FINANCIAL MARKETS

this is a great book from George Soros... its more of a philosophy book for me... m still reading it...

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker wrote in 2003 in the foreword of his book "The Alchemy of Finance"

"George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game. The bulk of his enormous winnings is now devoted to encouraging transitional and emerging nations to become 'open societies,' open not only in the sense of freedom of commerce but - more important - tolerant of new ideas and different modes of thinking and behavior."

Warren Buffett when ask "How do you get your ideas?"

I just read. I read all day. I mean, we put $500 million in PetroChina. All I did was read the annual report. [Editor's note: Berkshire purchased the shares five years ago and sold them in 2007 for $4 billion.]

results of laoag trip

  net winning of 10,000 php by two sessions each lasting less than 15minutes at laoag...

  5 minutes late at work today... since i miss the service van, i run from our staffhouse to the casino... =))

not bad... thinking way back february 2008 when i brought 23,000 php to laoag and only had them vanished in 4 bets... yes 4 bets and in less than 15 minutes... gone was my 23,000 php... i felt so bad then...

well... at last i feel better now, having win back all my losses at laoag with my last two trips...

all of my investing session at casino are very short (from 15minutes to a maximum of 2hours)... but you know, the preparations i have to make before each session is a long process... usually lasting more than 2hours before the session... these are the things i do before investing...

1.  keep on evaluating my mental, physical and emotional condition.... i have to make sure that they are in positive state...

2.  its best to invest after overnight sleep or a nap... and before i sleep or nap, i take mefenamic acid sometimes probably to increase my ability to take pains (this is a new preparation i learned after reading biography of Soros June this year... this will increase my ability to take pain when making wrong bet) or if i have colds, take neozep...

3.  i usually take a light meal with same share of fruits 1 and 1/2 hour before session... no investing activity right after heavy meal...

4.  have tea mixed with any of the following... sugar, salt and/or extra joss... one hour before session...

5.  take chinese supplements intended for brain, kidney and other part of body...

6.  make sure my digestion is ok and my stomach is cleaned of objects...

7.  relaxing myself with sounds if convenient...

8.  mentally rehearsing myself about things to do and things to avoid inorder to win at investing...

9.  make sure i have convenient clothes to wear and my latest partner in crime, a black harvard jacket, with this jacket i have won more than 200,000... it was bought after i lost 68,000 php last june 21 (read my old entries), and with IT, i won the 68,000 back plus another 11,000... after many times of finding a good jacket, i finally found one... i lost my old favorite jacket last 2006... and as quoted by a Gaming Area Manager of PAGCOR when he saw me without the old jacket and knew that i lost in casino last 2005, "Saan na yon swerte mong jacket?"

10.  and sensing everything is fine for investing... i will take a bath then off to investing at casino...

aside from the above, i regularly have to:

1.  make myself sweat by going to gym, have a sauna, basketball, jogging or walking...

2.  take a lot of fruits and vegetables... and very nutricious like fresh seafood if need arises...

3.  taking ample amount of chinese supplements and medicine for ulcer... for brain... for kidney... for liver... for my ulcer... u see after many years of competitive basketball... 7 business ventures having 1 success and 6 failures... 13 years of casino... my body is starting to deteriorate...

4.  have mental exercise thru reading books or soduku, etc..

5.  avoid meat, KFC fried chicken, very salty, oily and spicy food

6.  avoid activities that will have me excited very often... my mind have to keep calm... my mind should not be excited very often if not it will be conditioned into having excitement seeking tendency...

you see... its not easy to win at casino... as in every minute and every hour, i am evaluating and preparing myself for investing at casino... its a way of life for me...
