Object Of Desire
I think I'm about to receive something that will change my lifestyle dramatically.
An item that will have a great effect on many decisions I will make in the future.
Haha.
I will get to enjoy many benefits.
The bad side: It also means more responsibility.
I will have less excuses next time. :P
...
I don't know when will I acquire it.
It may be a month or 2, maybe 6 months.
But well... I can't wait!

Big Book Of Blackjack
This is another book I borrowed.
Big Book of Blackjack
The following is an excerpt from the book:
"
When the dealer show a 7 upcard and you have a stiff hand (12 to 16)...
Many players think: If I hit this 14, I risk busting my hand right here and now. But maybe the dealer will bust. If I don't take a hit, my hand still has a chance.
Every player is afraid that he will be responsible for his own loss, but that 14 you are holding is already in dire jeopardy when the dealer shows a 10 up. You must fight for the hand's survival by taking a hit, and giving it a chance of becoming a stronger hand.
People stand on 16 thought: any 6 to 10s will bust my hand, and that's 8 out of 13 cards. So stand, because you'll bust 8 out of 13 times.
This is wrong because It fails to consider the probability that our 16 is already beaten. We have to take our logic a bit further and realize that if the dealer shows a 10 and has any 7 - King, our 16 is already a goner!
So, 7 out of 13 cards, we're already dead. Furthermore, even if the dealer has a 2 to 6, he's not dead yet. He has to take a hit and he gets another shot to beat our 16.
"
Probability tells that you stand a higher chance of survival if you hit 16, so don't be afraid to do it in your game!

8 Parts Of Speech
Nothing much to do lately.
Once in a while will visit the library.

An Idiot's Guide To Grammar

1. Nouns: Person, Place or Thing.
E.g: Anna, America, Apple
2. Verbs: Action, Condition or State of being.
E.g: jump, run, do, sleep
3. Conjunctions: Connect words or group of words.
E.g: for, and, but, or, yet, so, nor
4. Prepositions: Link a noun or pronoun to another word.
E.g: about, above, across, against, around, at, on, near, upon, with, within...
5. Adjectives: Describe nouns and pronouns.
E.g: beautiful, careful
6. Adverb: Describe verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.
