Summer vacation 2024
  PuertoRican, Jun 11 2024

Once again, I'll be traveling abroad for the entire summer (June and July), so I won't be posting much until I return in early August.

This time, I will be traveling to the Philippines and will visit as many islands as I can. That being said, aside from my first two weeks in the Philippines, I plan to do everything week-by-week, so that it feels like I am on a real vacation and so that I don't have to stick to a scheduled plan that is often tiring.

My plan is to island hop, go to sleep whenever I want, wake up whenever I want, eat and drink whatever I want, go to the gym often to keep up with the food intake, go clubbing whenever I want, etc. Some of the islands I already planned to visit are Cebu, Coron (in Palawan), and Malapascua.

This won't be my first trip to the Philippines, but it will be my first time staying in the Philippines for more than 1 week at a time. Prior to 2024, I was in Belarus for summer 2021/2022/2023, and South Korea in summer 2018/2019.

I'll try to post update blogs during my trip when I can, but if I can't, then I'll definitely post a complete blog when I return to California.

Show me the money
  PuertoRican, Sep 12 2023





I was in Las Vegas last weekend to bet on a UFC event. I ended up losing -$600 on UFC bets, but later that night, I was headed to my hotel room and I saw that row of massive slot machines that the casino puts in place in order to milk people a bit more right before they go to sleep.

I saw one of my two favorite slot machines and put in $200 and played 3 hands at $10 per spin. On my third spin, I hit a "10" in the first reel and bricked the other two reels. A 10, 0, and 00 turn the machine red and trigger a second spin, so the machine gave me an extra spin and the second reel showed a "0" while still spinning the last reel -- a couple seconds later, the third reel landed on "00" for a $10k grand jackpot.

Considering I just won $10k, I sat there in an oversized slot machine seat while I checked Twitter for UFC updates and waited for the slot machine attendants to come over and ask me for the usual identification card and "is this the first jackpot you've won with us?" (I've won several handpays before. I won $2400 last year, but $10k is my largest thus far.). Since the machine was so big, everyone who walked by was talking to me and asking me if I was the one who won the jackpot -- I said yeah. The people next to me were more excited about the win than I was. $10k is a lot of money, but it's not life changing, and I know that I'll have to pay 24% in taxes ($2400) when the time comes. I sent the video to my boss and jokingly told him that if it had an extra "0" at the end, I would've called out sick that next week.

I'll be going back to Vegas this weekend for UFC Noche, but it's only for a day trip and to bet a few specific fights. Hopefully I can get lucky on slots again, but I doubt it, so I'll play my usual amount and focus mainly on sports betting like I usually do.
