Chess Struggle, All the Way!

I participated in the Paragua sponsored chess tournament held at the Victory Mall, Monumento, Kalookan City. The prize is very huge for a non-master tournament.  Would you believe it?  It is a whooping P15,000 for the Champion only.  So, upon hearing the news that the games will be held this day, I immediately went to the chess venue and registered.  I was entered as unrated (with no rating at all) and what do you expect, I was paired with the best - my first round was really a struggle since my opponent was  former chess champion from Bicol and my second game, though I drew it, was against the top unrated player during the tournament.  To summarize my games, I have never been beaten as white (4 games) but I only won once with black (4 games).  It was really a disappointing day for me.  Hope fully I will fare better on my next tournament.

Well, well, well.  I had a great time with my colleagues at DepEd IMCS.  We celebrated the festivities @ Aileen's residence. I hope you'll like the pictures.

Ugrading...

Arghhhhhhh!  I made a big mistake.  I really need to upgrade.  Study.  Study hard.  Study harder still.

Piliin Mo!

Piliin mo ang magmahal...kaysa ang masuklam
Piliin mo ang tumawa...kaysa ang lumuha
Piliin mo ang lumikha...kaysa ang sumira
Piliin mo ang magtiyaga...kaysa ang manghinawa
Piliin mo ang pumuri...kaysa ang manira
Piliin mo ang magpagaling...kaysa ang manakit
Piliin mo ang magbigay...kaysa ang magnakaw
Piliiin mo ang umunlad...kaysa ang mabulok
Piliin mo ang manalangin...kaysa ang manisi
Piliin mo ang mabuhay...kaysa ang mamatay
Piliin mo ang tamang pagpapasya...upang ikaw ay lumaya at tunay na lumigaya.

Metadata Development and Resource Cataloguing Workshop

Well guys, here I am again sharing with you my latest educational escapades through Metadata and Resource Cataloguing Workshop (watch out for the spelling) here in GSP, Tagaytay City, Philippines.  It was sponsored by SPHERE through AusAid with the coordination of EDPITAF.  Our new staff (LRPDS), Dir. Pilor, Sir Eric, Micah, and I represented DepEd-IMCS in this wortwhile activity.  Almost all the DepEd bureas,  offices, and some selected regional offices were increasingly contributing to its success.  There are loads of information to discuss so I won't delve further so I will just present pictures of the day to day activities.  Soon, if my time allows, I will relay some important details to this post.  Cheers!
