Nov-10-09		pinoymaster77: Hello kabayan, I'm tempted to post in Wes' page that in the horizon, there are just 2 key timelines : 1. Until March, by which time Wesley should get his HS diploma, or not sure kung home study this doesn't really have strict timelines? 2. Henceforth, kung tama yung March timing, Wesley's '1 year on chess' stint will start in April 2010. I think all efforts should just FOCUS on these, there's no talk of Texas scholarship yet or any kibitz that Wesley should do this or join such and such tournament would be FUTILE, kasi nga he's pursuing his HS diploma, and need the MONEY/FUNDs to mobilize after that! I just share these views in this smaller circle, thanks for reading this.
