About Me:
Hi! I'm JEANINE LOUISE B. PLAZA. My friends prefer to call me ANIN...thats my nickname...im 16 and still a freshman student in Nursing enrolled at OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY. I originated at Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte where i first learned my first thoughts on chess. Im just a simple person..like everyone else, i eat, i sleep and i do things which i find interesting to.. im just being me... what u see is wat u get...=D My Dad were the one who taught me the game when i was still a kid..and as u see, i was raised by my parents to carry the role of a respectable lady so that's why i disregarded Chess at that time..all i know is to play Barbie dolls and do girl's stuff...but not until i reached high school... during my first year, i entered playing chess at our School's Intramural Meet since im not eligible to play cos it would be hazzardous to my health...im an asthmatic person you see....but luck's not really on my at that moment...i lose to my senior just in the final round...i tried again when i was 2ndyr...still...i didnt qualified for the city meet since lack of knowledge in dealing counterattacks...and finally when i entered 3rd yr...i was elligible to play for the City Meet...HORRAYYY ME!!!! hehehehe.....i was doing great at my first games and was soon qualified for the final round where the decision will be made, either i, going to the regionals or the opponent will....still at the end i found myself losing again... Then on...I realized that i have to play better, that i have to overcome all the challenges given to me...chess is all i have...here o found my true friend...friends who were always there beside me even at deepest dephts of my lost....they have never left my side.... and i thought on returning them the favor...I will be qualified for the Regionals!!!-----i said. i trained and trained...reading vastful of chessbooks..playing bet with TAMBAYS at the park..practicing myself related to the art of chess...and thank god...i qualified!!! YEY ME!!!! Next stop...the Nationals!! Then again i lost at the regionals...as if all the blocks ofn frustrations were thrown to me then...that was my last year in highschool and my last chance to be qualified for the nationals...yet i waisted it...i failed myself... Since then i never played chess onwards...my parents sent me to the best Nursing school there is...my parents were so good to me that i have to do better in my studies at least...i craved for good grades and left no room to attend playing the game that i used to play be inloved at...that time...chess for me is just noisance to my studies and just adding up burden to my loads... my life was all at ease then..no frustrations regarding on losing...my life then were was plain school and dorm.... One day, i was invited at a bday party together with a guy friend..since the place was new to me, i kept quiet at the corner seeing my friend enjoying himself babbling with his pals..then someone at my age or quiet older than me came up to me...he was wearing a white shirt with a chess logo printed in front... probably a chess player himself--i thought... and indeed i was right...he is! he told me bunch of stuffs related to his chess life... from that conversation i learned that he was once a Palaro player(National Meet Qualifier) at his high school days..."Palaro player huh"--i said...that was i used to aim for...but things just not in the right place where they must be in,.,,luck's just not really on my side...heheheh..as the conversation widens up...i learned that..he too..used to be beat up and lose to players much skillful than he is...but he never gave up...he played and played,, lose and lose....until he got his first NORM.. he was fascinating...!!! talking to him was an ease to the burden i felt from way before....from that day on...my love for chess came back...we played on and on..he teaches me stuffs related to attacks and counterattacks... And that's it..now i am currently the champion in women's division in the current city i lived in...thanks to him...and even though i know that i still lack skills to challenged my seniors...and still nothing in this area..still..i will aim for the better...i will realize my dream to post a nameplate in the society of chess..... Many thanks to CHESS...i learned many lessons in life... soar up high ANIN!!!!
