NOLE DJOKER WINS


Woohoo! DJOkOVIC WON!

I'm quite certain it wouldn't take long 'till he becomes World's UNO


Nice match against Tsonga whose now Ranked 18. He sure played well but his lack of maturity kinda pulled him down, especially with Nole's serves and winners. NICE!


Anyways, good times always has its end. With the Asutralian Open 2008 wrapped up, it's back to reality for me-- no more late night game replays, no more australian open website checking, no more game predictions, no more nervewrecks for the player your rooting for, hay...


As aI said, back to reality...


hehehhe


Can't wait for next year's Australian Open JAN 19- FEB 1 (cool the champoionship match will be on my birthday).

Exorcism and Djokovic

ME and Fr. Syquia (an Exorcist)
Yesterday, exorcist Fr. Syquia came to our org's (UPSCA) Alternative Classrooom Learning Experience (ACLE). Cool... Daming nagpuntang tao.

Was fortunate to have read his book a year ago so i understood things even better. Nice.
Anyways, i guess exorcism is an evidence that Catholicism isn't just a religion people made up, it contains Divine truths that GOD himself revealed to us. Well, im not saying the people in the church (like the priests) are perfect, but it's not a reason to debunk the entire religion.

Favorite Trivia bits:

CHOCO cake is one of the most common gayuma people use--leading to many cases of possesion according to FR. Syquia. So, sugar is not the only reason why it's bad, the risk of of being possesed is another one. Haha.

Saying the words "tabi-tabi po" actually empowers the elementals. Plus, saying these words shows that we do not have full faith in GOD. Instead, why not pray the Our Father or Apostle's Creed or any prayer for that matter.

French Driving

Got a free ride this AM. Our french neighbor gave me and my uncle a ride dropping us off at Buendia MRT station. It was quite a fun ride with all the stories and jokes he and my uncle were cracking. Plus, i got to see how a french man drives in our country--basically, he was very pissed with undeducated drivers. He was outraged by some drivers that he was speaking in french (i have a feeling some of thenm wer frenc curses hahaha)

Anyways, it was my first time to ride the MRT from the buendia station which was quite cool since i have always imagined that station to be a SUBWAY station in a different country. Hahaha. Me and my imagination.

Then, on my way home, I caught up with a varsity orgmate who was really pressured as thier event (decathlon) is on the 7th of February already--which means he is on strict diet, sleep and training routine. He was quite funny to look at actually since his face spelled PRESSURE and NERVEWRECK hahaha. Well, that's two of my friends preparing for their meet--the other one being Til who is a tennis player. I wish i tried out for varsity back in first year. I guess i'll simply have to settle for UP Volleyball Club whose apps orientation would be tomorow afternoon. Excited ba ako? Hope it would be a fun app process.

DJOKOVIC has now entered the QF of the Australian open so I still have one bet left in the games. hahhaaha

Tennis Weekend

Australian Open weekend for me.

Woohoo! Since last year's Serena vs Sharapova match, I have been excited to watch the Australian open again--which i believe is where underdogs really challenge the the seeded players.

Last year, Serena (ranked 81) beat Sharapova (ranked 2 before becoming number 1)

Last night, for my all-alone-with-food-friday-night TV session, Andy Roddick (ranked 6) was defeated in five sets by World's number 29 HKohlschreiber, despite Andy's 42 aces. It was quite a game--very exhilirating, daming deuce at tiebreaks, challenges, breakpoints at kung anu-ano pa. So fun to watch. Imagine 3.42 hours total game play. Nice!

Then this afternoon, i watched FEDERER almost losing to rank 49, Tipsarevic who really gave him a tough match--imagine another 5 setter, 3 tie break game. Cool! I wish Federer lost though, para naman battleof the underdogs. hehehehe.

Anyways, im still rooting for Kohlschreiber and Djokovic, i really hope either one of them ends up in the final 2.

Tennis weekend! HAHA
