(1516) MUSIC AND ME (March 22, 2018) POSING WITH ME AS SOUVENIR PHOTOS


The father of this Japanese girl asked me in Feb. 03, 2018 to have a photo session as wished by the girl. 3 photos were taken from my cell phone camera and his camera.


An appreciative grandparents asking their granddaughter to applause after my performance at Waves Restaurant of Palau Royal Resort in Feb. 21, 2018.


The Japanese lady and her mom had a photo with me at Breeze Bar of Palau Royal Resort in Feb. 5, 2018 and they gave me $5.00 for requesting many Japanese and American songs.



Brad Hsu, right, worked at Palau Royal Resort for 2 years and came back to Palau married with his son and members of his family on November 25, 2017.








Gonzalo Escapatoria, Jr., middle, has been one of the top 12 chess player in Palau. He had a dinner at Waves Restaurant of Palau Royal Resort on Jan. 13, 2018 with his son and daughter, who always watch the Palau Chess Federation tournaments at Bethlehem Park when his dad is playing.


Jennifer Angeles, right, is a member of Palau Women's Team to 2018 World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia. She had a dinner with her husband and son Aome on Valentine's Day at Palau Royal Resort's Waves Restaurant. At lunch time on that day, I treated my wife to a Valentine's Day lunch at the same place.














This Belgian guest has been to Palau 11 times.

Another Belgian, Dr. Dirk de Ridder, conducted the FIDE Arbiters' Seminar during the 2014 World Chess Olympiad in Tromso, Norway. I attended that seminar on its 4th day. I didn't realized that I need to complete at least 18 hours of seminar to gain a FIDE Arbiter title. Although I passed the exam like what happened in Palau where I topped the FIDE Arbiters' Seminar conducted by IA/IO Jamie Kenmure in May, 2017

                         THIS PHOTO OF DR. DIRK DE RIDDER IS AN OBITUARY FOR HIM BY FIDE.



Jamie Kenmure, standing at left, is the assistant of Dr. Dirk de Ridder during the Arbiters' seminar in Tromso, Norway.






There is only one attendee who gain an International Arbiter title in this seminar.

(1086) MUSIC AND ME (Sept. 24, 2015) THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD -- JAPANESE/CHINESE BIRTH CONTROL

   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).
