This is the Philippines (by MrGregounettt)

This video is a patchwork of shots I have taken in the Philippines from January to April 2011. I went there to study as an exchange student in Manilla [sic]. My stay there allows me to travel in many places like Bohol, Batad, Baguio, Batad, Angeles, the Pinatubo Volcano, Batangas, Cebu and more…

I used a Canon 550d with an old lens Takumar 50mm 1.4 and the canon 18-55mm. First time I’m shooting a movie, which isn’t as easy as I thought but I tested many things and finally learned a lot! So the result is far to be technically perfect but I have done what I could :D

I’ll miss the Philippines, the curiosity of their inhabitants, the beauty of the landscapes and my crazy life there.

Truly, as the cliché goes, it will take more than major disasters, calamities and catastrophes to bring us down. Filipinos are a resilient people.

Where are the Chess Stores for Chess Enthusiasts in the Philippines?

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.

Chess lovers are looking for a one-stop shop where chess books, chess boards and clocks (digital!), and chess software (come on, Fritz11?) are easily ready for take home.

I was particularly intrigued why such a store is not yet around as I was looking for a place to buy Fritz11 and a digital chess clock. Do we only order them from Amazon?

Talk about business opportunities?
