SHUT UP AND DEAL!

Regular viewers of Celebrity Poker challenge would recognize this as a play on the usual battlecry of "Shuffle up and deal".

We just had to give it that indomitable 4J touch of class.

I'm referring of course to the newly-established 4J Poker Nights. We held the first one at my place this past weekend and were able to squeeze in two rounds. Dino hustled his way to victory in the first game and Conci took the second. I, sadly, always made it to the final two of both matches.

The invitation is out for 4J poker Night 2. Conci, Elena and I each have a set so we can actually have three tables with the winners facing each other for the grand prize. It's all in the spirit of fun (and to a certain extent, greed). Think of it as "Murder" with money involved. You just have to play your cards right

Speaking of playing the right cards, Carlo took a gamble of his own and proposed to Maita at the Rockefeller Center last weekend. She of course said "yes" and we now have another wedding to look forward to. Details to follow. Just hope that they do it here in the Philippines.

Congrats Carlo and Maita!
