Corus Chess 2010

I got addicted to watching online chess games of superb players at Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands. I learned a lot and my knowledge of the game has been substantially improved. Couldn't wait to watch Wesley So's vast opening repertoire against equally talented opponents. I hope that he wins in the Group B Tournament.

By the way, it is very annoying to know that http://coruschess.com is not working well so I had to look at other websites which are not full as to details.

Reunion - PLM MGM

After 5 long years I got a chance to see my former classmates, and friends (whom are all successful) in one of our reunions at Rod and Mar's place. What can I say? I had a very great time!

Unang Kabiguan

Joselito Asi (c) January 2010

‘Di sinasadyang ikaw’y masilayan
Ako ay nabigla’t muni ay napukaw
Natuwa’t nagalak ng ngiti mo’y sumilay
Haay… naku para akong lumulutang.

Agad kang sinundan
Upang sana’y lalo kang mamasdan
Ngunit nanlumo nang makita kang
May kadaupang palad magkahawak kamay.

Dali-daling lumayo upang ‘wag damdamin
Ang kapaitang ayaw ko sanang danasin
Ngunit heto’t bigo kawangis ay inutil
Walang halaga wag namang hamakin.

Kinabukasa’y naglakas loob
Pinuntahan ka’t agad ay naghandog
Pag-ibig na sadya’y nais na idulog
Subalit pait ang hatid mong dulot.

Luha’y di sinasadyang dumaloy
Sa pisngi ko’ y tumatak sumapol
Kabiguang nadama sa puso koy kumirot
Unang pag-ibig sakit lang ang dulot.

Family Bonding at Luneta Park

I have been very busy lately. My schedules were very tight. What special place do I have to go to treat my wife and kids? Luneta Park is a perfect choice!

Waiting

Wanting,
lusting,
to be held,
to be loved,
to feel warmth,
to feel your beating heart.
Wanting to be sheltered from the cold,
heartless winds.
Falling into invisible arms;
into an abyss of love.
Wishing,
hoping,
that my desires will be filled;
my desires of loving warmth.
Wanting to be held,
comforted,
loved.
Dreaming of passionate embraces,
of tender kisses,
loving words,
romantic nights.
Waiting for undying love.

-Dawn D.

Watch!

Watch your thoughts, they become words
Watch your words, they become actions
Watch your actions, they become habits
Watch your habits, they become character
Watch your character, they become your destiny.

Melancholy

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

-from the song of Hank Williams
