My Chess Buddy



I learn to play chess when I was 9 or 10 years old. No one taught me how to play it. I dunno why I enjoyed watching my cousins play it, I just watched them play and that's how I know how to play the game. My Uncle was my first opponent, I was still a noob then. He would always beat me with his mighty three moves (lol). But later on I figured out how to defend his attacks. But we didn't play that much back then and when we moved to my Aunt's place, I have no one to play chess with, so I play basketball, because there's a basketball court just near their house.

When I was in high school, my classmate and later on who became my friend, Bochoy, also likes to play chess and we would play during lunch breaks and recess time. She was good at it, I seldom beat her, hehehe... We tried to play during Intramurals and I was so happy to win my first tournament, hehehe... But we we're in just in 2nd place, next to the 4th year players. I think I had stopped playing or we had stopped playing chess when we were in 3rd year, been busy with academic stuff.

When I was in college, I met a few friends, but none of them played chess or even interested in that game. So, I play basketball again, hahaha... Then, I met Ghenessa, we were on the same team in the Eng'g. dept., for Baskeball Girls. We were teammates during Ithe ntramurals but we rarely talk, because I feel that she's so hard to approach but later on I found that she's okay nman pala and 'kalog' din like me. ;) When I tried to joined the chess tournament during our intramurals, she joined too and then she became my chess buddy at that time. Well, we won and we were on the same team and there was just one trophy, I really wanted to have it and Ghen wants to have it too... hahaha... We both signed at the bottom of it but still having a discussion on who will have the trophy (LOL). Anyways, I got it by the way... hahahaha... I told her that she already had lots of medals and trophies on her academic recognitions and I got none (hahahaha... pa-awa effect), I'm not genius like her... hehehe... Well, it was in those times that we were able to play chess together, when the intramural's over, she became busy again with school projects. Rhon knows how to plays chess too but she's not really into it and she had this thought that she would couldn't beat me. waahh... palusot...

Anyways, after I dunno how many years had passed, I was able to play chess again, with Ghen. Yey! Seryoso masyado xa oh... hehehe...



Well, we had a great night with Rhon and Fern... That would be the last night we would be seeing Rhon here in Davao, so we're making the best of our time together. We don't know when she's coming back again.... Hmm... That picture above is Ghen, my Chess Buddy... wehehehe... I'm not really that good at chess and I rarely play it nowadays...
