Six months ago, this is what was on my mind:
23.6 square kilometers of land, that's what I have to explore in the new place that will be my home for the next 365 days. I wonder what Macau has to offer aside from hotels and casinos? Maybe a new love... But I psyched myself that Macau is not a place to find true love. Not with all the gamblers around, I'm not a fan of gambler boyfriends.
I landed here with a broken heart. Thinking it will be a good place to have a fresh start. Reset everything, I said. My heart, my Facebook relationship status and my life in general. No parents, no limits, just me and all the strangers around. So I guess no one cares, and whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? So it should be the same around here.
Now I'm near the 6th month mark. 10 sick days, conjunctivitis on Christmas, ignored during a New Year's party, and a new love. Yes, I found love in the last place I expected to find it. Life is so ironic sometimes. Or maybe that's just how it happens all the time.
I looked back and amazingly I was totally different from when I first arrived. I can't place it under good or bad. All my experiences are ridiculous, crazy, funny, heartwarming, depressing, exciting and all that jazz. I love my life here, it's as free as I could ever be. Yes, intrigue and gossip still follow me, but who doesn't get that? It's normal. We only live once, so why not go crazy at some point?
I work in a Poker Lounge in Macau. Without doubt, I say it's the best in Macau--if not Asia. A dozen flatscreen TVs to keep you entertained while you get crappy hands and chairs that are comfortable enough for a 24-hour session. Dealers who got cool blings and bedazzled nails. Not to mention really hot babes serving you complimentary drinks. The ambiance makes you feel that you can walk around half-naked and not mind--or so we all thought. Unfortunately, there's a lot more happening behind the scenes that can make life difficult in this Rock n Roll casino. Everybody says our job is so cool, but there's more to it than looking hot and pretty for guests.
So let me let you in to some of the secrets to being a Poker Lounge Babe.
