i've learned to love the game years before i've held a racket. It was an acquired fascination. Seriously, what's so exciting with a neon green ball bouncing back and forth? This post despite the fact it's a hell week. LOL.

I personally think that women-muscle-tennis era is over (think venus and serena and amelie). And it's a welcome respite that svelte eastern europeans are now lording the courts. I loved the women's finals of Ivanovic vs. Sharapova. Maria have proven me wrong, I thought she's going the way of Ana Kournikova, good heavens she's not.
See, who'd have thought she's a power hitter? and her screams, hahaha, surely drives her opponent crazy!






This lady, i personally like. Aside from her games she really looks like J when playing. She's World No. 2, so beat that!









He beat Roger Federer in 3 sets! Hahaha, I'm a fan of whoever beats federer! And this man is a funny guy too. He fought an amazing game in the finals with the french guy Tsonga. Whew, daming hindi ko na kilala :) . Apparently the Tsonga guy is world number 38. So watch out for him, Nadal was all over the court smiling in amazement during their semi finals match.

Wow! sangdaan taon ka na UP naming mahal :) It's sad though that I was not able to attend the kickoff celebration. I cannot help but turn green; to those who were able to watch the sky diving et al, LUCKY you.

Again, the POND is desert dry.
Some holy cow have asked me if I was not saddened by the turn of events. And bluntly I said NO, adding that my skin is impervious to those smarmy mushy stuff . For me it's just a thing, and I am not sorry for feeling so. What I treasure is the friendship that I gained through these year with the pond. But the pond itself, nah. Being thankful doesn't require to be sad when extinction presents itself.

This saddened me big time. I missed the PULAG TRIP. The hike was planned mid-2007 and i have psyched myself to join this trip no matter what, I would compromise everything just so. All is well until some quiz equivalent to 2 recit popped up. WTF !@#$%^&*()_+ I really sucks with recit. I barely have time to cover assigned readings. Since only sundays would my time allows me to devote to this crap/craft. So siyeet. PULAG or QUIZ. GF is correct in saying that Pulag would not go anywhere it's just there waiting to be conquered. True, but it is not just conquering it per se, it's who you conquered it with. It is the amalgamation of experience and cameraderie with your friends that after some years or so, you can look back and talk about it. It's about relieving the excitement and the triumph.

No J Day Today. I'm down with a flu.

2008

Gusto kong matulog ng mahaba

gusto kong mag-gala

umakyat ng mga bundok,

magtimpisaw sa mga ilog at dagat

Gusto kong matunghayan

ang mga piyesta sa iba't-ibang bayan

gusto kong bumili ng mga gadget

gusto kong mamasyal sa ibang bansa

Gusto kong makatikim ng ibat-ibang pagkain

gusto kong lunurin ang isip ko sa

pagbabasa ng mga nobela at libro

gusto kong pumunta sa mga museo

at pagmasdan ang mga laman nito

gusto ko gusto ko

ang problema oras at pera.

Happy nuyir sa lahat !!!
