Observations from a far place.

Warren Kiamco

Black-Balled, Warren is Pang Primera (first tier) right now. He is a very consistent money player and very money smart. It would be very hard to beat him if he gets ahead with a chunk of money. He does not have a big ego and that's what makes the other players to underestimate him.

Do you remember when I introduced you to him at Cambridge, MD? He was such a low key player, very unassuming.:thumbup:

Warren gets a +15 spot from django playing rotation, I think warren is a low 2nd tier. But playing 10 ball anyone can give spot to anyone, they run out most of the time anyway.:)
 
Warren Kiamco

Dgem,

You're absolutely right. He does get weight from Django from time to time. He also teeters between first and second tier most of the time. I guess it depends on how strong a backer he gets, but whenever he plays in the States, he plays very strong.

I guess he converts the dollar amount to pesos while he is playing to keep him focused.:)

He's probably thinking what's he gonna buy after the match is over, which is not a bad thing because that's what keeps him motivated.

It's kinda hard to peg his speed to a T because when he is back home he is either Pang Primera or Panigunda (second tier) while he is always a top tier in the States...
 
My little Jalo was born at 9:43 PM last night. She is soooo beautiful, the perfect blend of anglo and filipino. I'm on cloud nine right now, so happy to be a daddy again. This was my main reason for coming now. The pool tourneys were just the icing on the cake. Visiting my filipino buddies, hanging in the poolrooms and going to (and working at) cool tourneys is my idea of fun.

I guess I am half filipino now. And that's not a bad thing! I plan to spend more time here in the future. Might even be in the market for a condo. A nice one can be had for 50K. 100K buys you a primo place here.

Jay,
So very happy for you! Wow, what a blessing! When you hold her and see how pure and innocent Jalo is, and you feel all that over-whelming love in your heart for her, man is that an awesome feeling or what!!

You have much to offer her Jay in love and wisdom. You and her are both very lucky! Also hope mom is well and able to get around soon. Best wishes to her as well!

All our very best to your family!

I do remember. He was one of my favorite players before then, moreso after.

I also remember the look of fear in his eyes when you introduced us. No, wait. That didn't happen at all.

I can see you beaming from here! I'm truly happy for you Bunny and Jalo. Congrats!

I know ya'll had some physical concerns (appendix, etc) and that made this pregnancy a tenuous one. I can only assume that makes it that much sweeter.

Absolutely awesome Jay!!!! :D:D:D

I am very happy for you and Bunny.

There's nothing in the world like being a dad. You've had the blessing of being one, more than once.

Best Wishes,

A year and a half ago we lost our first baby in the 7th month. It was heart breaking for both of us. This baby is a miracle! She is a real fighter, kind of takes after her old man. Thanks to all for your good wishes. Drinks are on me next time we meet.

Meanwhile Bunny is sending me for baby wipes, mineral water and small bottle nipples right now. Real life intervenes!

Sounds like you NEED to buy that condo Jay. Dad's can't live a continent away.

Congratulations to you both. Parenthood is the most important thing we can do in life.
