So. 

First post on my personal blog!! I’m excited. 

Okay, so yesterday was January 1st and so I’d like to start with a happy new year!! I spent the day with my dad’s side of the fam, and I finally hung out with my cousins after forever!!

Okay. Not much socializing going on here. This was before my cousins got there, okay?

There you go. 

For the most part, we just hung out outside (lol) of my Lolo Ben’s house in Novaliches and then had lunch.

All the single ladies, now put your hands up!! (Sorry for the crappy gifs, Photoshop won’t cooperate with me)

After playing with the camera and making more shots like that one up there (we spent around an hour just doing continuous photos), we decided to go in a play some cards. No worries, none of us know how to gamble, so we stuck with the kid games.

They played Pusoy-Dos first and since I didn’t know how to play, I just watched. Afterwards, we played Lucky Nine, which is a really easy game where you get two cards and add the numbers, and if you get a nine, you win. The last game we played was Slap Jack, which in my opinion was the most fun. The main objective of the game is to get rid of all your cards. According to Wikipedia,

A 52-card deck is divided into face-down stacks as equally as possible between all players. One player removes the top card of his stack and places it face-up on the playing surface within reach of all players. The players take turns doing this in a clockwise manner until a Jack is placed on the pile. At this point, any and all players may attempt to slap the pile with the hand they used to place the card; whoever covers the stack with his hand first takes the pile but if a card covers the jack it does not count, shuffles it, and adds it to the bottom of his stack. When a player has run out of cards, he has one more chance to slap a jack and get back in the game, but if he fails, he is out. Gameplay continues with hands of this sort until one player has acquired all of the cards. 

But we did the opposite, wherein when your cards are gone, you win. So there. It was a really fun game!!

Sadly, in the middle of our second round of Slap Jack, my dad said we had to go. (Boo you, dad. Loljk) 

Okay, bye.
