Wesley So of the Philippines, world's youngest chess grandmaster
Submitted by kwix on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 01:54.
While it was relatively late in knowing that the young Wesley So is the world's youngest chess grandmaster, I am still elated at this rather belated but much welcome news. Not that I've been far away from the PC but my mind was preoccupied by the reminiscence of that age in Philippine chess when it was lorded over by the venerable Florencio Campomanes who took under his wing Eugenio Torre of Ilonggo parentage and who honed his mastery over the 64-squared battlefield with daily jousts at La Paz district.
The LOPTTA initiative, a vital cog in tablenet revival wheel
Submitted by kwix on Thu, 03/13/2008 - 11:55.Having perused the sports item in The Visayan Daily Star, http://www.visayandailystar.com/2008/March/13/sportnews2.htm detailing the efforts of Leonito "Diutay" Lopue of Bacolod City, Philippines to inculcate the love of table tennis to the young, I can't help the stream of memories rushing back to consciousness at our own effort in Iloilo City to help popularize the sport fondly called "pingpong".

As an afterthought, I should have placed the end of the game as temporary graphics instead of the beginning! Oh, well. ^.^'

update (10th Monday of 2008)
This works okay when locally tested but something about caches cramps the timing when it's via the web. I don't know how to fix this yet.
Also, there might be double images due to some gifs not loading properly. Ironically, all the images only add up to 100 kilobytes.

Our very own Fil-Am UFC fighter Brandon Vera vs.Fabricio Werdum at UFC 85
Submitted by aktibista on Sun, 03/02/2008 - 14:47.
The Fight Network has reported that Brandon “The Truth” Vera will be making his return at UFC 85 in London against Fabricio Werdum, in a fight that could be a #1 contender match for the UFC Heavyweight title. Vera is coming off of a devastating loss to Sylvia where he never really got anything going, while Werdum has two big wins under his belt over former champion Andrei Arlovski and most recently Gabriel Gonzaga.
