Naujan Captures Governor’s Cup in Or. Mindoro

I saw this post in the internet accidentally. It happened long time ago
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

IN a final-round rally, Naujan town shot down the leading Bongabong team to win the First Gov. Arman C. Panaligan Cup team tournament held last Sunday in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.

The chess festival was held in celebration of the province’s founding anniversary.

Underdog Naujan scored 3-1 against the favored Bongabong squad, which had been leading most of the way.

Best players were Alwyn Villas on board 1, Cesar Cunanan on board 2, Joselito Asi on board 3 and Ronald Berdera on board 4.

OMG My Betty is Sick!

Spent the whole night at the United Doctors Medical Center due to the fever of my daughter Betty. I and my wife were very upset because we thought it was a dengue for Betty was sick for almost 3 days. We waited for the result of the laboratory test only to find out that it was not. What a relief. Thanks God.

Betty is still sick but at least it was not a dengue.

It was also good the we have a Fortune Care Card for Betty that we did not pay a single cent.

4 Ways on Responding to Change

I would like to share the message given by my Director this morning regarding the “4 Ways on Responding to Change,” and it goes this way:
1. Feel like a victim
2. Be a Critic
3. Clueless
4. Be the Manager

Happy New Year to all and hopefully everyone will learn how to respond to change.

O Heaven, It's 2011

Professionally, the year 2010 gave me my biggest break at the Department of Education.  I got promoted from Creative Arts Specialist I to Education Program Specialist II.  My previous trainings and achievements proved to be decisive in achieving my goals.

Financially, it was awful.  I wasn't able to save much and it was horrible.  Had not for my wife we won't be able to meet ends.

One of the things I felt sorry for was that I was not able to attend Couples for Christ - SOLD meetings every Thursday due to my busy schedule or I just wanted not to be there due to some commitments.  I wasn't able to attend to my IELTS review due to my being addicted to (I will not divulge it here) a certain game.  Hopefully I will be able to attend to some sessions again this year.

Maybe you're asking me what happened last year, well, here are some of my notable achievements...

1.  I was the chess champion at 2010 DepEd - CO Tournament with a score of 12 wins out of 14 games.
2.  I been again to different places (Baguio, Tagaytay, Romblon, Palawan, etc.)
3.  I got promoted.

There were more but this space is to small for what I've got.

Will the year 2011 be better and brighter?  I am looking forward to it.

A Bountiful New Year to All

Here is wishing you the best in the coming year.  May the good Lord bless you all.

Happy 80th Birthday Mama!

I would like to greet my mom Aurora Bandelaria Asi a happy 80th birthday.  I wish you'll have a very good health and will get your wishes.  Sorry, we won't be there this Christmas and on your birthday.  We love you so much.

Feliz Navidad

I would like to take this opportunity, through this column, to greet each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas and a bountiful New Year.  May all your wishes come true and more blessings to come.  Enjoy the holidays and have fun.

Cozy Inter-Cities Chess at Dagupan City, Philippines

Hi guys!  'been very busy lately... aiiizzzz.  'Was in Baguio a week ago... then today at Dagupan City.  Well post some details later.  It's game time.

Champion at DepEd Chess Tournament

Aizzzzzt.  I just captured the 2010 DepEd Chess Sports Olympics individual award with a score of 12 out of 14 games.  The final game was so crucial because my score is tied with another player from another team.  We both have 11 points.  Sitting at board 1, I made it sure to give my opponent a tough game, and I did.  Several exchanges ensued and after the smoke was cleared I was a piece-up and had an advantage on my time clock.  My opponent resigned after I trapped her Queen several moves later.

Thank you God for giving this victory.

Badminton Delight!

Just had my 1st badminton team tournament at DepEd-CO and you know what?  Our team (Orange - Mercury) won with a score of 3-2 against the blue team.  I thought, the games were a picnic because we scored easily 3-0 until our opponents rallied to win the next 2 games.  Should I say this?  I was part of the losing player from the team.  Haayyy...

Hopefully, I can perform better next time.  See you next time guys...

Dumbest Move I Saw

I watched the game of basketball at DepEd Central office between Orange team (my team) and Green team with the former having a one point lead with 4 seconds left and a ball possession.  Nelson, my buddy, made an inbound pass to his team mate who dribbled the ball away and with time expiring the receiver suddenly stopped and threw the ball up in the air... sadly, an opponent was there to catch it and hastily made a shot... boom!  Our team lost a seemingly winning game.  Whatta game!

Manny Pacquiao Wins Again

Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines did it again!  He won his 8 division title and was the first boxing athlete to do so.  Kudos Manny.  You made us Filipinos great again.
