Hey there!
The last entry I did here was on July 12 of 2014. It has been three months and it feels like I haven't blogged in years. So what have I been doing? And what have you been doing?
I've been very busy with teaching, coaching basketball and chess, and watching movies.
I've gone on to Twitter and was a heavy user during the FIBA World Cup 2014.
And on Saturday, I'll be coaching my 13 and Under Boys Basketball team against one of the catholic school boys basketball team here in our city.
I'd like to share this PinoyPlay video to everyone:

GM Barbosa's Olympiad Deadline
Joey Villar's continuing coverage of the Philippine chess has given us much information about the status of the players in our country. This time, it is GM Oliver Barbosa given until Thursday of this week to decide whether he will join the Philippine team for the Tromso Olympiad or not.
Here is Joey's article: Barbosa given until Thursday to decide joining Phl team in Chess Olympiad.
Although lately I've been reading Joey's write-ups on his blog, I still am a big follower of Bobby Ang's Chess Piece column at the Business World and I've yet to read about this.
National Chess Federation of the Philippines' officials must be having tremendous time right now due to the fact that most Pinoy GM's are following the lead of Wesley So in moving to the US of A.
Corruption of the soul and corruption of the mind leads to corruption in the society.
Good luck to Philippine Chess and to all the Filipino chess players who have represented the country before and were taken for granted by NCFP.
Sayang ang mga talent. Tsk! Tsk!
