(1488) MUSIC AND ME (Dec. 28, 2017) $100.00 TIP FROM USA AIR FORCE OFFICER JEFF IN NOV. 13, 2017



$100.00 TIP FROM USA AIR FORCE 
   OFFICER JEFF IN Nov. 13, 2017

He's been a regular guest at Breeze Bar of Palau Royal Resort for more than a week.

In his last night at PRR, I was able to talk to him for about an hour. I mentioned to him about me being able to go to Australia in 2009 for Oceania Zonal Chess Championship, to Russia in 2010 World Chess Olympiad, to Istanbul, Turkey for the 2012 WCO, in 2014 in Norway for the WCO and 2016 Baku, Azerbaijan Chess Olympiad.

He said he had kids/grand kids interested in chess and music, too.

When I told him I also teach chess and music, he's been more interested in listening to my music story esp. about the "Crying Japanese guy" in 

Also about the generous lady who gave me Asahi beer and $100.00 tip for playing her favorite song "Tennessee Waltz"

Maybe he's inspired by those stories about big tips that when he gave me and bartender JM and cashier Jem tips, I was surprised that I've got $100.00 tip from him. I don't know about the amount to JM and Jem.


MEANWHILE, during the Christmas day dinner performance of me at Waves Restaurant of Palau Royal Resort, I am wearing red polo shirt again as usual. 

Ramil Villa, a cook at Cafeteria, is wearing Santa Claus attire like the one he wore during the PRR Christmas tree lighting in Dec. 02, 2017.

I took a photo of him and a baby boy wearing Santa Claus attire, too! He's a newborn boy of a female employee of PRR.







I joined them with this photo...


Almost 2 months later, the boy and his mom came to Waves Restaurant again and we have photos at the piano...
