Match with the Future Female Chess Master

Just finished a chess match with future chess master Xanthie Guico at their residence. I brought the game in a complicated game to see how she will react. I was pushed to the limit but I think she got dizzy with her success that she made a gross blunder. Of course, I took advantage of it. Looking for the day she will beat me in a game. I can smell it will not be for long but surely she will work for it.

MAMA'S 80TH BIRTHDAY

December 26, 2010 marked the 80th Bday of Mama. All were present except for
Jocel's family.

Ate Leah and Ate Magmag alternately did the house chores like cooking together with Amor. Myan also did her share, We ate and sing all day. We brought our karaoke in anticipation to the party.

In the afternoon, Melvin Melgar made Mama and the kids happy and proud with his antics ala clown during the games.

It was fun fun fun

10.10.10 Victoria Chess Tournament

Yours truly emerged as the champion in the 2010 Victoria Open. Many strong players coming from Calapan, Pinamalayan and Gloria participated in the tournament. I defeated almost all players paired against me except Xander Elauria which I offered a draw early in the game which proved to be a good decision on my part. I finished 6.5/7 which will result to a high elo rating in next issue.

Special thanks to Rommel Macalintal for inviting us.

Champion - Emmanuel B. Asi
2nd Placer - Ronald Berdera
3rd Placer - Mel Acedera
4rth Placer - John Sabucdalao
5th Placer - Xander Elauria

2010 Mayor Doy Leachon Chess Championship

December 19, 2010 marked the new era of Calapan or should I say Oriental Mindoro Chess. For the first time the old reliables were defeated by the young turks Zenjie and Nesil Merilles. Zenjie beat me this time closing our personal encounter to 2 -1 in my favor. The tournament was a resounding success. Although only 34 players showed up, it was a congregation of champions from both previous tournaments and champions from schools who will participate in next year MIMAROPA. I tought it will be a smooth sailing for me as my rating is way above my opponents based on my magnificent performance in Victoria last October 10, 2010(6.5/7). I could only score 3.5 wins. Except for game 1 the remaining six games were hell (The same is true with all players I think). My mind was drained in game 2 win against Victoria's Rommel Macalintal and lost to Zenjie in a complicated game. I was fortunate to draw with Nezil in game 4 encounter before losing winning and eventually losing to Jiggy Vicente. I humbled 2008 Victoria Champion Layson Lozano on the 6th game before losing a drawish game against compatriot John Sabucdalao.

Even Jiggy Vicente, a Lyceum of Batangas Varsity Player who was brought by Provincial Champion Ronald Berdera did not fare that well as he was ambush by veterans Mel Acedera and Basilio Cedenio for 4.5/7.

In the end the following chess stalwarts emerged victorious:

Champion - Zenjie Merilles (tie break)
2nd Placer - Nesil Merilles (tie break)
3rd Placer - Ronal Berdera
4rth Placer - John Sabucdalao (tie break)
5th Placer - Mel Acedera (tie break)

I end up 15th place to the disbelief of my children Abram and Aemiell. I told them, things like those happened. I will surely recover from this nightmare!

Special thanks to the following:

1. Mayor Doy Leachon for sponsoring the event
2. Sir Deo Mauro for endorsing our project
3. Madam Myan Gupit and Steve Alcantara for the Arbitration
4. Parents
5. ABC President and Mam Paz for the venue
6. Palaboy's Son and Steve for alternately ensuring that the venue is available.
7. Mr. Emmanuel Usi of GSM for the 3 boxes of Magnolia water
8. To all plavers without which the event will not be possible.

See you in the coming Provincial Open.

CBS Training/Malabon Chess Open

I, together with other BOO's of SOL (Mam Irma, Dick, Tony, Col and JR), were tasked to attend a CBS Seminar held last August 29 to 30, 2009 at UCPB Head Office. It was a very fruitful seminar. Little did we know that we will be the Trainors in the coming CBS conversion to be held very soon. It was a challenge that we readily accept - as if we do have a choice. Immagine we will be instrumental in the conversion (finally!) of UCPB's computer system from old to truly new. The ambiance there was very good as we saw the efforts of everybody particularly Sirs Jojo and Jerome, Coco and Nanette and the members of the CBS team. Hope I can finish all my backlogs so I can concentrate on the job.

On the 29th we were treated by Sir Jojo at Lutong Macau Restaurant in Jupiter with a very wonderful meal.

On our last day, we tested the hands-on were we discovered that there was no option for DABHP in withdrawal of Dollar. We pointed it immediately to Sir Jerome who answered that they already elevated the concern with Silverlake. Just became curios when we looked at the back where we saw young guys ala F4 etc. who happended to be Malaysians and the programmers. I thought Filipinos are good in programming, how come our CBS and AMLA were done by foreign germs. Anyways ...

There were many lessons learned as pointed out by Sir Jojo. Our marketing people gone a long way to give in to the request of clients only to stop in the end like the MC Writer. Marketing officers from Makati were deliberating on how they will treat their big clients who wanted to split their deposits to 5 ?!?. And questions regarding non clients who would like to purchase MC or apply for FEDS - wether they will fill up CAIS to be given CIF Number.

At the end of the seminar we were allowed to view an insect which have been in the cocoon for 7 years and became a beautiful butterfly in a few days. Just like UCPB which for many decades remained under an inferior system of IBM and Infinix but in a few days we will be flying like a butterfly with Silverlake.

Who can forget a guy who does not have arms and feet but proudly say - he can play drums, golf and other instruments and mind you can surf in the sea?. He also told his audience that he is happy!

It created an impact to me and I almost cried. I realized how lucky I am. All I have to do is to be focus in my job.

Our seminar finished early so I visited my twin brother in Malabon. He treated me to a 7 round Swiss Chess tournament where I scored 4/7 with 3 wins 2 draws and 2 losses. I was able to maximize my time. I was and still am happy!

AYESSA ARABELLE A. ASI

July 9, 2009 should have been one of the happiest moments in my life. My wonderful wife Amor was scheduled to give birth to our baby girl we named Ayessa Arabelle A. Asi at 7:30AM. It turned our to be a nightmare as our future Ms. Universe was diagnosed to have pulmonary infection right after her birth. We never imagined that it will happen to us. Sweetie was strong as ever and the baby was reacting positively day by day before that.

Since there were no manifestations that the baby was ill, and the Ultrasound findings were positive, we did not bother to have Sweetie's urine examined as what we did in her previous deliveries. It proved to be our undoing as our baby bacame angel just 2 days after her birth.

We fought for her life in all means immaginable. She fought gallantly on the first day but on the second, her tender body can't react to medications possitively anymore. We let God do the rest!

When our angel was put to rest on July 10, 2009, I asked: "God, why did you make our baby an angel that fast? We can take care of her, we prepared almost everything. We terminated our Prudential Pension, we loan at Philam to name a few. I can't understand."

I know God has many plans for us. He knows we can bear what happened. He did it for a reason.

Lord, maybe until now I can't understand what and why it happened but let your will be done.
