The correct
spelling is Cesar. Carolina's boyfriend is Mike, who came over last
night with Niko and (his brother?) Oscar. Niko and Oscar are also
cousins, with Oscar living in the United States looking for a job. He's
had a couple of Software Development jobs but his last company laid him
off due to the poor economy and he's been looking for work for the past
six months.
Niko, Oscar, Cesar and I played Poker. I'm not that good of a Poker
player but I still doubled my stake (to $20 Canadian). It's all about
calculating odds. Don't worry about bluffing or being bluffed. At that
level of play I can be relatively successful. Still, it's pretty hit
and miss for me.

Today we had
lunch with T’o Napo and his wife. More Dim Sum and more food. I'm
eating way too much. But it is good food. Afterwards Oscar and I helped
Carolina with some of the wedding preparations. Maybe not perfect but
not terribly bad. We watched "A Guy Thing" which has a great message
about guys automatically helping each other out when covering for their
girlfriends.
Carolina had a dance performance today but it was cancelled due to
possible rain. Tonight we're having dinner at Christina and Cesar's
house. More people are coming over tomorrow so I'll be sleeping with
Mom and Dad. I had forgotten how loud Dad snores. Not going to be
getting much sleep after tomorrow night.
I dialed into AOL last night. Since it's an American account it's
getting charged extra for using it from Canada. I'll owe Dave, but
Internet access is really nice and well worth it.
