"I got a Benz that I ain't even drove yet." -DIDDY

This is how I feel with poker. I got a big score that I ain't even seen yet. Big dreams lead to big things. Progress with work leads to drastic results. That's how everything goes. I don't mind missing big scores because of suckouts and shit. I'm convinced that I will get this cake.

I lost another friend. R.I.P. Ngoc "Jade" Phan. I don't know the complications behind it but it sucks. I was thinking about Ngoc throughout the day. I got pretty close to her during college and I thought about all the phone times we shared. She had a big heart. She wanted to be there for all her friends and show you that she appreciated your presence. I remember joking about how many pills she would have to take on a daily basis. Her love for food was funny as fuck too. I clearly remember how she was 100% dedicated to Niko Niko then jumped to Canton Bistro asap to eat well and go clubbing at night. I remember running past the CSUSB bookstore and having her cheer me on during jogging class. So many memories...it feels weird to know she's gone. I wish her family the best: Lisa, Bea, Brittney, Kim. I know you're in a better place Ngoc.
