horse racing


It was 2005 when I became familiar and was introduced to the world of horse racing. At first it was just a curiosity that started to become my hobby. I didn’t expect that this would make my life move to another chapter. Wala sa isip ko na maging isang karerista but it just happened…
I remembered we have an old neighbor who was really known for this karera stuff. Dun na tumanda yung kapitbahay namin, sa pangangarera. I used to saw him everyday holding a piece of paper called dividendazo or a racing program when I was still a child. He won many times so some of our neighbors started to show some interests too. And because I was just a child, I didn’t mind it at all. Now that I was on the right age, I never thought that this stuff would be my part of life also.
I have a cousin who always sends text messages to my father about this “karera”. Tips daw yun na nakukuha nya sa isang kaibigan. She encouraged him to bet. And those tips got to win on horse racing. I didn’t give much attention to that for I have no intention to be into horse racing. Hindi ko pati alam ang mga nakikita ko sa mga nangangarera, di ko sila maintindihan. All I saw was just numbers on TV and horses that’s all. But there was something that changed my perception. I began to think of something that would give a fortune for me. So I asked my father, ano ba po ang karera na yan Daddy? He answered it’s a game where horses run to a race track. The first one whoever reached the finish line will be proclaim the winner. Paano naman po magkakapera dyan? Anak e di tataya ka, he exclaimed. But he discouraged me to try it. Pero dahil sa mga udyok ng mga kaibigan ko sa lugar namin, parang naenganyo ako. I was just a bum; eating, sleeping and watching TV in our house so I thought my self to give it a try. I have a friend who became a “kubrador” in our place. I looked for him and tried to bet. I have only 20.00 in my hand that time. I betted my 10.00 and pick a combination of number, but unfortunately I lost. My friend advised me the strategy on how to win; I must have the familiarity to the horses I would pick. Nandyan pa yung sinasabing lyamado o dehado and other terms so; I watched the races on TV. And from there, I started to enjoy watching the races. I was fascinated how the horses run. Natutuwa ako kapag nakakakita ako ng mga kabayo na bigla na lang susulpot galing sa hulihan at saka mananalo. After watching, and started to get some knowledge about this stuff, there’s a usual urge that tells me to bet again. So I bet for the second time and whoala!!! I won!!! Lalo akong naecxite sa pagkakapanalo ko. It was followed by another winnings until i became hooked on that thing. Of course not all times i won but i couldnt hesitate to bet. And the story of my ventures started to begin…..

I was in front of my computer and browsing in the net when i saw a certain site that makes me interested. I was an anime lover and love watching anime series on TV especially "Naruto". When i check out the site, I saw some episodes that were never been aired in the TV. So what I did was I watched the episodes at that moment. It seemed like a marathon mode of watching and i really enjoyed it. After that, i told about the site to my friends and invited them to watch the videos also. Now, I didn't wait the episodes anymore on TV because i already knew the episodes that to be aired this following days. Thanks for the site, i really enjoyed watching to it. And there's more, there were other anime videos episodes to that site. So to those who were anime and manga fanatics, check this out... . http://www.crunchyroll.com/naruto

Lambanog

Lambanog is the Filipino term for wine that is locally produced from 100% natural sources. Such examples of natural sources of lambanog are sugar cane, coconut, rice, and “sasa”, a member of the family of palm similar to coconut tree but commonly grow in areas near rivers and swamps. This wine is very popular in the provinces of batangas, laguna, especially in quezon. Mostly people from those provinces have high tolerance to this kind of alcoholic beverages even women. That’s why when you talked about lambanog some will say;” taga quezon ka ba?” “Naku, nakakatakot uminom nyan sobrang tapang!” In infanta quezon, I was first introduced to drink lambanog. I was 2nd year high school that time when I was told by my classmates to give it a try even for a shot or “tagay”. At first, the taste was not so good to me, parang ang tapang ng lasa. In manila I used to drink beers and some hard liquor when we have special occasions like New Year and Christmas but this lambanog was different. There’s s...

Let me give some tips and pointers to consider on buying a pc...... When buying a pc, you must first set a budget for that. Typical amount ranges from P15,000 to P25,000 depending on what specs you want to have, if its for gaming, educational or business matters. Once you have figured it out, now its time to canvass the parts. Some buyers prefer to buy a pc in a package deal simply because it saves time and money. But for some buyers like me, buying parts per parts to be assembled is a good choice. In a package deal, pc parts were already fixed and installed unless you want to change it, another charge is next t...
