(1230) MUSIC AND ME (April 28, 2016) PALAU ORCHID AND TAIWANESE SONG ORCHID

 While waiting for my piano student Dichem Tmecthul, from the schooI, took some photos of their orchids near the driveway/parking area. Dichem's father, Senator Mlib Tmechtul is running for Vice President of Palau in the 2016 Palau election.

One of the Taiwanese/Chinese songs that I've learned is the orchid version of Taiwan --"Lan Hua Cao". it's one of the most popular Taiwanese songs in my repertoire where "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin tops the list.

       PALAU CHESS TEAM TO BAKU

                       REGISTERED

 

THE PALAU Chess Team composition was submitted to Kema Goryaeva, the Registration and Accreditation Manager of 2016 World Chess Olympiad in Baku, Azerbaijan, on June 16, 2016 by Roberto Hernandez and Jeffrey Balbalosa, who are also members of the team Palau.

                The meticulous system of registration was finally completed after all members submitted their scanned passports for accreditation. The next step is to wait for the accreditation badges and individual invitations for the members of the team. The visa application forms were already sent with the “Purpose of Journey” (42^nd Chess Olympiad), “Number of Entries” (Single), and “Receiving Party (Name,  Address of Company of Private Person) Baku Chess Olympiad Operating Committee, 93 Zarifa Aliyeva Street, AZ 1000 Baku, Tel. +994 12 599 10 90 already filled-up.

                Roberto typed the “AGREEMENT” that states ‘’As per Palau Chess Federation’s Board Meeting on June 02, 2016, the five (5) members of Palau Open Chess Team to 2016 World Chess Olympiad in Baku, Azerbaijan must deposit $500.00 as bond to ensure the commitment of the players to the said Olympiad.

                Balbalosa, Gonzales and Alcid deposited their bonds in the morning of June 15, 2016 while Hernandez and Suringa, Jr. did it in the afternoon at 2:15.

                In that Board Meeting, the 2018 World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia’s Palau Chess Team composition was also tackled. The winner of 2016 Palau National Chess Championship, to be held after the Baku Olympiad, will automatically gain a slot to the Batumi Olympiad. There will be women’s team this time as it is FIDE election year (every 4 years) that coincides with that Olympiad.

                A few hours after submitting the composition of Palau Chess Team, Roberto got an email from Ms. Kema Goryaeva, thanking him for registering Team Palau. Later that day, Roberto checked all of his 5,000 Facebook friends and Ms. Kema Goryaeva is one of them. It is only then that Roberto has confirmed that she is a lady. Her complete first name is Kermen that’s why Roberto is not sure of the gender.

                Roberto checked also the 17-page Invitaiton-42^nd Chess Olympiad, 87^th FIDE Congress Baku 2016- Baku Chess Olympiad Operating Committee (BCOOC)—the office address is Zarifa Aliyeva 41, AZ 1000, Baku, Azerbaijan. The 93 in the visa form is 41 while the office telephone is +994125991091 with the last number in visa form being 0 not 1.

Dear Mr. Hernandez,

                Please note that I have validated your account and connected it to your Federation in the registration system of the Baku Chess Olympiad. You may proceed with registering your teams, officials, delegate and accompanying persons. Please meet the deadlines of the registration to avoid late registration fee. Also, please pay a special attention to the passport details and passport scan to be added when registering your people.

                Very important is to instruct your team members and representatives on the visa procedure if they hold a passport of a country whose citizens need visa to Azerbaijan.

Everyone should take three documents with her/him before traveling to Baku: visa form (correctly filled in), accreditation proof (to be printed out from the system, you will be informed how to print), and visa invitation letter (will be sent to everyone in due time). These documents will be asked in Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport.

                Thank you so much for your kind cooperation,

Kema Goryaeva

(1227) Music & Me (April 21, 2016) Mr. Yasu is Intrigued with "Most Effective Method-Japanese Birth Control"

MR. YASU AND ROBERTO HAVING PHOTO SESSION
    While Mr. Yasu's family are busy surfing the internet, Roberto asked for a photo session with him at the keyboard. Mr. Yasu is intrigue with Roberto's own 'joke' of combining some Japanese, Chinese and his own characters about the joke of "The Most Effective Method -- Japanese Birth Control."
                                         (Photo by Roberto Hernandez)



MR. YASU IS INTRIGUE WITH "THE MOST 
  EFFECTIVE METHOD -- JAPANESE BIRTH
                     CONTROL"

On March 24, 2016, our last customers at Breeze Bar of Palau Royal Resort are Japanese family of 4, who arrive at about 10pm. Last order is 11:30 and the place will close at 12mn.

                At first, they are not much listening to my rendition of Japanese songs. When I play “Let It Be” by the Beatles, the father is singing with me. He knows the lyrics and his diction is good. I played Japanese and American songs alternatively and they begun to appreciate my music.

                I gave them my song book to look for songs that they like to request but they are not interested. The other members of the family (the mother and two young boys) are busy surfing the internet, which is offered free since a few months ago, if guests will order drinks of at least $10.00 worth.

                After less than an hour of playing for them, the father gave me $10.00 tip. I asked him why they can speak English very well and he said they are living in the USA and comes to Palau and it's their last night in Palau and will leave early in the morning on their way to Japan. They are just biding their time before the flight. Later he asked me about the last page of the songbook where the word “Most Effective Method – Japanese Birth Control” is written with “Japanese” or “Chinese” characters which no Japanese, Chinese or Koreans can read. It’s because I just made it up.

   THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD --
    Japanese/Chinese Birth Control


Calling the attention of all Japanese or Chinese who found out the most effective method of birth control in the mid-70's.

After the end of World War II, the "Baby Boom" became the trend. Sixty years later, China's population topped the world.

Japan's population was somehow slowed by their citizens getting married at their late 30's or early 40's. And they don't want to have more than 3 children.

China and Japan found out the most effective method of birth control through the characters shown above.

THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ON THE NEXT ISSUE OF MUSIC AND ME (Oct. 01, 2015 -- Palau's 21 years of Independence).


MY JAPANESE FRIENDS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO SOLVE THIS METHOD:

1. Michiko Nakamura 2. Satoku Uehara 3. Kuma Katsutoshi 4. Yoshiharu Kurata 5. Takao Anzawa 6. Akemi Tsuji 7. Allen Kangichi 8. Aya Asanuma 9. Bumpei Iwata 10. Gene Nakauchi 11. Gladys Husiro 12.

                He asked me, “What is the answer to this? I cannot read those characters.”

                I folded the paper in the middle lengthwise and folded it another time lengthwise again at the right side and the word “Sleep Alone” can be read downwards. He is amazed by the witty, tricky and innovative joke of that kind. I asked him if he would like to share it to his family. He refused and I told him some memorable experiences that I encountered especially with Japanese guests including “The Crying Lone Japanese in March 28, 2008.

A PIANO WITH A VIEW
     Roberto Hernandez plays piano at Waves Restaurant of Palau Royal Resort from 6:00-9:00 pm every night except Friday (his day off). From 9:00-11:00 pm, he plays keyboard at Breeze Bar, about 30 meters from Waves Restaurant.

         MUSIC EXPERIENCE OF ROBERTO HERNANDEZ
                                          (THE CRYING OLD JAPANESE GUY)

BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2007, the Queen of Koror, Palau Bilung Gloria Salii, her husband Carlos and daughter Uroi had dinner at Waves Restaurant. They gave me $10.00 tip and a glass of red wine.

Before they go home, I talked to Bilung and said, “I would like to give you a Christmas present. I will tune your piano for free before the end of this year.”

I became very busy and haven’t done my promise.

On her birthday, January 05, 2008, they had dinner again at Waves Restaurant with 3 other guests. I played all their favorite songs. She gave me $10.00 tip, a glass of red wine and a slice of her birthday cake.

After three weeks, they had another dinner at Waves and after giving me $5.00 tip this time, I asked for her telephone number at home so that I can set the date of tuning their piano. She said 488-6216.

On March 19, 2008 (Wednesday), I saw her at the entrance of Surangel’s Department Store. I said I will call her on Tuesday (March 25) and will tune their piano on Wednesday (March 26) which I did. After tuning their piano for 2 hours, she is ready to issue me a check but I said I promise to tune it for free as Christmas present. She gave me bananas instead!

The next day, God gave me more that I expected.

 While halfway on my piano playing at Waves Restaurant, a lone, old Japanese guy sits at a table about 7 meters from the piano. Ten minutes later, I started to play the Japanese song “Kawa No Nagareno Yo Ni”. In the middle of that song, I saw him get something from his front pocket- it’s a handkerchief! He is crying and was carried away by my expressive playing.

The two waitresses Maricar Baules and Maricel Carlos saw him crying and asked why. He pointed at me and I played with more expression. Goosebumps are all over my arms and body which I rarely feel when playing with much expression. I followed it up with another Japanese song “Subaru”. He cried more. The handkerchief is all wet!

When I played the song "Kou Jou No Tsuki", he pointed at the sky as the song is about moon. Tsuki is Japanese word for moon.

Fifteen minutes later, he gave me tip. I put it on the piano music stand. Edgar Cayanan, the Assistant Food & Beverage Manager said, “Kuya”, (Older brother) “I don’t think that’s the color of a $5.00 bill.” He checked the tip and said “It is a hundred dollar!” I just continue to play and ignore him as I don’t look at the amount of tip I get until the giver has left.

Edgar told about it to Maricar and Maricel. The two also checked the tip and said. “It’s really $100.00! Can we have some?”

 When the generous man left, a Japanese couple sat at the same table where he sat. The guy requested 3 Japanese songs (Goodbye My Love, Itoshino Elly and the third one, I forgot). I was able to play all those 3 songs and he gave me $1.00 tip!

 Philippine Ambassador to Palau Ramoncito Marino, the biggest supporter of chess in Palau, and his wife Issa were having dinner at that time with an old Japanese lady guest. When he sat down at the piano to play a couple of songs, that’s the only time I look at the tip- it’s really $100.00. I said to the Ambassador, “Look, sir, a Japanese guy gave me $100.00 tip without requesting and another guy who requested 3 songs gave me $1.00”.

The next day, Friday, Edgar said that the man who gave me $100.00 tip last night said he made a mistake in giving me that amount. I said, “It is okay, I haven't spend it yet and when he comes back, I’ll give him back the $100.00 and it’s up to him to decide how much he really wants to give me.”

On Saturday evening, he comes back. While having dinner at the same table, I played all the other Japanese songs that I didn’t play on that Thursday night. When I play the 2 songs that made him cry, he didn’t cry anymore.

 After his dinner, he comes to me with Cathy (Chinese waitress) by his side. He said, “Do you know the guy who plays piano in the cruise by the name of Norman?” I said, “No. Does he play Japanese songs also?” He said yes but only a few. Then he gave me tip again and I put it in my polo shirt pocket. And he left for Japan. Maricel saw that he gave me again and asked how much. I looked at it and it’s another $100.00!

He didn’t make a mistake. Edgar is just kidding me and maybe jealous.

I'VE GOT the "Most Effective Method -- Japanese Birth Control" idea when I am watching an electronic fair at The Plaza Restaurant where I worked for many years in late '70's and early '80's.

In the booth where they are selling typewriters, I tried the electric typewriter typing the Top 50 chess players of the world. I started with Robert James Fischer(2780), Anatoly Karpov (2700), Viktor Korchnoi (2670) Boris Spassky (2650), Tigran Petrosian (2640), Mikhail Tal (2635), Lev Polugaevsky (2630), Ljubomir Kavalek (2625), Henrique Mecking (2615), Efim Geller (2610), Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2605), Vassily Smyslov (2600), Jan Smejkal (2600), Gennady Kuzmin (2600), Vlastimil Hort (2600), Ulf Andersson (2580)...

Then I heard somebody asking, "What number is Eugene Torre?" and I type No. 20 Eugene Torre. Although it's not yet that high, Torre reached that mark when he reached the Candidates Matches to determine the challenger to the world champion. 2580 was the highest that Eugene got, where very few have reached the 2600 mark. 

Just next to that booth was the amazing and simple "Japanese" character that says "Most Effective Method -- Japanese Birth Control."

I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE ANSWER, THAT NO JAPANESE OR CHINESE CAN READ THOSE 'CHARACTERS'...

TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT, YOU MUST PRINT THE 'CHARACTERS' FIRST. THEN FOLD IT IN THE MIDDLE. FOLD IT AGAIN (1/4) AT RIGHT SIDE AND THEN YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT IF YOU WILL CONNECT THE 1/4 FOLDED 'CHARACTERS' TO THE FOLDED MIDDLE PART.  



HERE IT IS!
