Last Friday August 22, 2008 we went on a field trip. My classmates and I were so excited to go to Villamor Airbase, Lost Eden at Bio-Reasearch in Paranaque, Lucky Me Noodle Factory in Sta. Rosa Laguna and Lights and Sounds in Luneta Park. I am going to place here a video of our trip but my mama still have to create it, so watch out for it. But for the meantime, i will share this photo taken at my favorite noodle factory. No picture taking was allowed inside its vicinity but a photo shoot was given to each visitors and they share it through their multiply Lucky Me's website.

Congratulations! Philippine Team

Congratulations to Grandmaster Wesley So for bringing home the Gold (individual) and to the other team members National Master Haridas Pascua, Jan Emmanuel Garcia and John Alcon Datu for making it the the top 3 (team standing). I hope to join again another international event. Actually after I joined the chess event in Danang Vietnam my games have improved a lot. That experience really helped a lot in the improvement of my skill. Playing consecutively and with different players who showcases different level of skills stretched my thinking to the max. But unluckily I did not received any invite though I perform well on the international age group championship. I still hope that I can join the next international youth championship and on the coming international events.

Before the Chess Olympiad in Dresden in November, there is an equivalent 'Youth' event taking place in Mersin, Turkey from 16-25 August. The World Youth Chess Olympiad is a national team championship for players aged under 16 and the format is a 10-round Swiss, with teams of 4 players competing in each round.

Whilst the youth championship is nowhere near as big an occassion as the Olympiad itself, it should produce some interesting games. The Russian team have the highest average rating of 2374, but the top rated player is Wesley So from the Phillipines at 2577 Elo.

BRGY. 752 INVITATIONAL CHESS TOURNAMENT - JULY 20 TO AUGUST 10,2008

This event becomes a weekly ritual. A game or two every Saturday and Sunday at the hour where most of the people are having their siesta. There were weekends where they have to cancel the games because of heavy rains due to storm. But then after the eliminations been made and during the championship day I finally got it during our round-robin game... 4 out of 4. Kuya Bernard Tenorio also made it to the top 2 in the senior category.

The chess tournament was organized by Hon. Barangay Captain of Brgy. 752 Singalong Manila, Mr. Francis V. Villegas.
