Where are the Chess Stores for Chess Enthusiasts...
It’s a little gripe here. Where are the chess stores in the Philippines, where variety of chess products can be available. We the chess enthusiasts are particularly looking for original products, not bootleg or photocopies.

Ang magnanakaw, galit sa kapwa magnanakaw
If this person does not stop telling lies about my father, I will tell the whole truth about the person of Senator Lacson. - Jinggoy
Point is, only if Lacson tells more “lies” that Jinggoy would be prompted to speak of Lacson’s evils. So the Estradas were abetting Lacson’s acts by keeping their mouths shut all this time?

Best Divorce Letter, Ever.
Dear wife: I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell.
