I was looking for a fancy Filipino restaurant in Kamata, Tokyo. I googled my keywords, and this article, not my original subject in question, captured my attention:

I had no idea that Bobby Fischer lived with, and almost married a Japanese – Miyoko Mitai, here in Japan. But, this post has nothing to do about their lovestory, although their story is kinda sweet. Reading that just brought back memories.. and that same question I had before, “What if I pursued my chess career… what if I started early…”

I remembered too, that after college, I could not stand a long game anymore. I remembered losing games to my college buddy/resident geek/chessmate/former colleague. At one of our get-togethers in our then-manager’s house, the guy couldn’t win a single game. We were under a clock that time – 5,10, 15, 30 minutes. But after some time, when we had another get-together, we played again, and the clock wasn’t there, I remembered my brains weren’t good anymore to process longer. So I couldn’t win.. and I was even thinking very long. Three games. No win.

This is probably why I could think better when under pressure. I don’t know. Recently, I just felt like doing stuffs when the adrenalines are rushing and hormones raging.

Bad.

Anywayz, let me share with you my now favorite Japanese proverb:

時間がたつの法が早いです。
jikan ga tatsu no houga hayai desu.
time flies fast.
ang bilis ng oras!

Apparently that’s the only proverb I know.. Hehehe.

It’s July already! We’re now officially halfway this year! :giddy: as always.
