My Cats, My Life!

-

Hi everyone.  I am here to update you on what happened to the cats we saved during the successive strong typhoons here in Manila, Philippines.  Originally, we secured 6 kittens and their mother, right?  Unfortunately, 2 kittens with white and black furs died due to injuries.  I didn't witness the actual crime(?!) but I saw one of them with a broken leg.  I should have not allowed them to go outside for some extra moments and fresh air.  I am so guilty.  I am so sad and woke up a day after that with melancholic despair.  

Anyway, I will be sharing with you some delightful moments that somewhat ease our agony.












 True enough, when the cats become a memory that memory becomes your treasure.  Hail to the cats!

Challenging Adventure in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

-
I had this unexpected adventure in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from August 8 to 11, 2019.  My twin brother who was in Oriental Mindoro asked me to book a ticket since I will be playing in the Astro Merdeka Rapid Open Team Championship 2019 with other team members from the Philippines.  Chess enthusiast that I am, without a blink, I scheduled my flight the same days that my brother told me using my BDO Credit Card . Sadly, upon reaching the venue,  I have no teammates to rely on as my brother had a misunderstanding with a certain chess official from the Philippines.  Good things that happened were I found several multi-talented athletes from my country who are GMs, WGM, IMs, FMs and other masters who have been so supportive of our plight and that I learned much about the neighboring places in Kuala Lumpur. Just minutes away from the start of the game, this lady from Malaysia got our names to join their team provided we pay a certain amount which we obliged.  That...

 Hello everyone.   I will share my kapalpakan stories during my younger years.  Na-realize ko how bad I am and so judgemental.  It was unfortunate that these things happened but it helped me a lot at na-build ang foundation ko as a person. Story 1 : I played very good basketball during my high school days, in fact, my friends called me Hackett because I scored several points in every game.  But Michael Hackett was not the only player that I idolized.  I am a huge fan of Samboy Lim and Paul Alvarez.  I admired much their acrobatic shots. One time, naglaro ako sa court sa loob ng Holy Spirit Church sa Barcenaga, Oriental Mindoro and I was playing there with my friends from that locality.  Maraming nanonood, kaya tuwang-tuwa ako na magpakitang gilas sa kanila.  There was a shot I made with so much kaartehan.  The scene was, in a very crucial moment and the score was tied with 11-11 each for a 12-point game.  My team mate took a s...

Mga Kapalpakan at Lapses ko Noong Kabataan Ko

Story #2 On one of my vacations (college days) in Mindoro, dumiretso ako sa maliit na tindahan namin sa Barcenaga (my hometown) para makatulong sa Nanay ko.  Ang setting, may maliit kaming tindahan then iyong kalahati naman ay bakery.  Oo may pugon kami (gawaan ng tinapay) pero hindi naman functional kaya umaangkat kami ng mga tinapay sa isa ring malayong kamag-anak sa Dose (KM 12).  To cut the story short, our family has had a bakery but does not bake our own bread.   Isang araw (hapon na nga e) naubos iyong inangkat na tinapay namin sa Dose and there was a need to buy more bread for stock purposes for the next day and reserba na rin sa current day (surtidos, atbp) basta iyong matitigas na tinapay na isinasawsaw sa kape.  My sister, Ate Margie, rushed to KM 12 to buy goods. After 30 minutes, I received a message from Ate Margie that she was near the crossing na.  So I immediately went to the designated waiting area to wait for her.  There she was...
