poker buddy-friend?

I was introduced by my cousin to sign in to facebook.com, a social networking site same as friendster. At first, I hesitated because it was just a website for socializing and meeting other people. I already have a friendster account and that's enough for me. But he told me that other than meeting people there are some games offered to entertain registered users. He used his account to show me his favorite games inside that site. He played mob wars. I was not contended with the game because you used only mouse pointer and there's no extraordinary action at all. I felt that game was boring. But one day, out of boredom, I gave it a try by signing in to facebook. I played mob wars first and as I pointed some commands, I became eager to play and gain some interest to this game. After that, I tried other games in facebook. I played dragon wars, vampire wars and others. I didn't expect that I would become hooked to that site. Everyday, I always open my facebook account to check my standings in the games I used to play.

One day my cousin invited me to play poker. "Poker?" I didn’t know how to play it.... But I gave it a try like I used to just for curiosity sake. At first, I didn’t know how to play poker so I just click the commands such as call and check and unfortunately I lost. My chips almost dropped out so I decided to quit. What I did was I watched the other players first and studied it. After some rounds of watching, I sit in and tried my chances…. Whoa!!! I won!!! I beat the players with 3 Kings… That was a great feeling! So I played again and I continued to win. I also got some achievements like “four aces”, “big slick”, “quads” etc. Everyday I used to play poker in facebook. Sometimes I lose, sometimes I win but that’s the breaks of the game. One afternoon, I tried another poker game in the facebook, the Texas holdem poker. It was just the same as the poker palace except for its graphics and time. In Texas holdem poker there’s a picture of a dealer while in poker palace has none. But for me the table in poker palace was kind of much pleasing to play than in Texas holdem poker. Back to the poker, when I was in the table playing, someone shout in the shout box asking if I was from Philippines and I answer I was. I never knew that there’s also a Filipino playing poker in my table hehehe. And what stunned me more was she’s a lady…. I was used to it because before, I played with some female players from different countries but never to my kababayan hehehehe. We got to chat while we are playing and sometimes we have this ally thing when we ask each others cards to know if I or she has great or less chance of winning. “Anong card mo?” “K at 3”, ok yan fold na ako kuha mo yan galing!!! Congrats hehehe! I felt happy that time because I found a new friend. I even ask her if she had a ym messenger and fortunately she replied. I tried to call her thru ym and she answer back. We talk and started to know each other. But to tell you, this was my first time to have a person to talk to after knowing that we’re kababayan. It was much unexpected but it was good for me. I knew that this lady was kind and a true person. We continue our communication thru this facebook especially if we’re talking about poker hehe. Even we don’t know each other personally I knew that I was a friend to her and she has a friend in me…….
