shopping and casino

Interesting how a month has already passed since I've been left all alone here in my grandparent's condo unit. In just about an hours' time, my aunt will be coming home already from her one month long vacation from the Philippines! Time sure does fly by so fast.

Yesterday, I asked my friend to come with me to downtown and find where the underground mall is. This place basically connects two or three different buildings underground to make it a single unit so you don't have to go out the streets just to go to another building to check out their shops. It was pretty cool actually. Even found clearance sale of shirts there. I got to buy one, to give as a gift. It was a 50% off Tommy shirt, which is very cheap already cause it's been marked down previously already.

Since my friend accompanied and helped me find the place, in return, I'd have to accompany him in return and so we went to his favorite place to go - the casino. I can't believe how this guy plays! At one point, he was down almost 130 CAD already! But by the end of the night (after almost 4 hours there), he was able to trim his losses to 15$, by playing roulette, texas shootout card game and black jack. He lost 55 just in slots. As for me, most of the time I spent there, I just watched people throw away money. I even saw one who gave in 400 CAD in exchange for chips.

As for me, I played a couple of slots (I hate slots! You have practically zero chance sof winning there!) and 4 dollar bets at the roulette. Haha, I still ended up earning 5$ all in all. I just can't get myself to play more than 20$.
