Wolverine will host the Oscars...

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE SD
Hmmm...Hugh Jackman reportedly will host the Oscars next year, I like him but I'm not sure if I like the idea of him hosting the Oscars. What do you think???

And We Turn 4...

Today, NG and I are celebrating our fourth anniversary. Who would have thought? Coming from a long-distance relationship, 4 years is quite a long time. This is our first time to be together on our anniversary. No more emails, webcam chats, text messaging and phone calls on this day. Been there, done that. Don't wanna do that again. We've exchanged cards. Tears abound, mostly mine, I'm such a cry-baby. SIGH. We have a long way to go, I pray we'd always have our faith in each other and most importantly in God. Do include us in your prayers too. Keep the faith, I know, it can be tough from time to time. God Bless.

More Scrubs...

Chick Flick Alert...

Pimping...

Is it just me or does Jamie Walters stand out among the other guys in the pic? Hee. I could just be biased though. You can read the story about the show here. It's cold here in O, trying to stay warm. Have a good one. God Bless.

New Scrubs...

Yeah...more JD and company...Yeeeha. Must finish Season5 onwards...must catch up with the laughs and music-laced [sp?] episodes...excitement in my TV life once again.

Cold December in O...

It's December.

I don't like getting my period, the painful cramps makes me bitchy and irritable hence I just wanna take naps. Hate cramps. Men are sooooo lucky they don't endure this every month.


Saw the commercial for Trust Me last night while watching Cheech & Chong Roasted with NG. I half-squealed when I saw Ed Stevens on the screen, the show will start airing in January 2009. Something to look forward too.


According from Yahoo Movies, The Dark Knight is the most-watched trailer of the year, I thought it would be Twilight with all the buzz on that book/movie. I miss E! Coming Attractions.

My first Thanksgiving went good. It was NG's first Thanksgiving here at the casa. Our first Thanksgiving. I prepared the gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes. NG was in charge of things that went inside the oven like the pies, biscuits and heating of the smoked turkey breasts. NG enjoyed preparing the our first Thanksgiving as much as I was. MajorDad brought 2 bottles of white wine. I don't normally drink wine or champagne but since it's a special occasion, I finished half a glass. I like my drinks fruity where I can't taste the bitterness of the alcohol. I like it that way with my drink.

It snowed Sunday morning. My first snow experience. I took some pictures. Will just post it when I get them transferred from my camera to my laptop. I'm lazy right now. Speaking of laptops, NG bought additional memory and disk space for my laptop, I didn't ask for it but he said, consider it an advance Christmas gift.

I've been playing Texas Hold'em on Myspace, Facebook and Pokerstars. I win some, I lose lots, good thing they are play money. I've never played poker for real except for that one time with the EBC gurls and most of us didn't know what was going on. Hee. That was fun.

Here's to a good December for you and me. God Bless.

A Week Before Thanksgiving...

YEAH, that's how fast my laptop is...I WISH.

I got me some flairs. You surely can kill time at Facebook, I don't even know how many apps I got in there. I go in and just whatever. I like the Unending Trivia quiz though.

November 15, 2008 @ The Slowdown. Matt Nathanson. I wanna be taller when I grow up. Hee. The gig was sold out a few weeks before the show date. NG got lucky and won some tix [and a meet & greet pass] from Q98.5 . It was a fun night. I added 2 new artists [Jessie Baylin and The Break & Repair Method] on my Myspace page. The next night, we watched Ingrid Michaelson and I added two more artists [David Ford and Newton Faulkner, they're both English, hearing them talk was a bonus] on my Myspace page. It was a goody weekend for us. Glad NG's weekend-off fell on those dates.

I thought I'd get back to reading with these books. I miss reading even if it makes me sleepy. The Twilight series is the best-seller nowadays, I don't know what's the fuss is about. Hee. I guess, I'm getting old for that stuff? I don't know. Though, I want to see the movie, looked interesting.

NG got me a purple mini-mouse. He was excited as he handed it to me. I was more excited, of course, purple mouse, baybee. Sweet.

Sam & Ruby is a must.

Made a list of people to send Christmas cards to for this year. NG only had a handful of people to send to but since we are considered as one now, he's sending to about 70 people as well. We went to the FACTORY CARD OUTLET last Sunday. That place is sooooooo my happy place. Lotsa cards, I would have to go there by myself one time, I just have to figure out which bus[es] to take.

http//www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/how-many-countries-can-you-name.php I only got to name 40 countries in 5 minutes. There are 195 listed on that quiz.

It's 30 degrees F here in O! and it's bound to go down to 15 throughout the day. COLD COLD COLD for myself. It could also snow tonight.

It'll be my first Thanksgiving next Thursday. We might have it here at home. MajorDad, NG and me. We'll just buy our Thanksgiving grub at Walmart, most likely. If that doesn't pan out, we'll be having Thanksgiving dinner @ one of the Casino buffets in town. Hee. NG's off Thursday to Saturday for the Thanksgiving weekend. Yay. Happy about that. He'll have 2 weekends off next month as well. All good. So many things to be thankful for this year. SIGH. I am grateful for everything and I ALWAYS thank God for that. Keep the faith.

Go Elf Yourself...

Send your own ElfYourself eCards

Say hi to your mother for me...

Mark Walhberg is my #2 laminated. Hee. Hummina hummina. Andy Samberg did a good impression. Love the bit. Love Mark.

It's a new month. Getting colder here in O, not so much the past few days though, thank God. I had my first Halloween, gave out candies, not a lot of kiddies came by though. We have leftover candies, any takers? Hee.

Had an online VS with the EBC gurls last Sunday, I had 4 glasses of Absolut Pears with Crangrape juice. Eee had 8 or 9, Mano & Doctora both had 4 glasses as well. 5 hours online with them. We didn't get disconnected on YM. Webcam and voicechat was on too. Gotta love technology yes? I do.

It'll be 6 months on the 25th for me since I got here. Wow. Six months with no work, sigh, I am not liking that fact but can't do anything but wait for the work permit to come through. How time flies yes?

Here's to a good November for you and me. Keep the faith. God bless.

On a cold October day here in O...

Jamie had a small gig last September 30th in LA and he's working on a new album and will have a TV project due out next year. Yay. For now, you can get updates via his myspace page at www.myspace.com/jamiewaltersofficial or at jamiewalters.com.

Your Pizza Says:

You love the food you grew up eating, and it's mostly what you still eat. You don't go for a big variety of foods. You just have a few favorites you stick to. Pizza Topping You Should Try: Sausage or Canadian bacon Stay away from: Anything you can't pronounce

The Pizza Test

I am here. Thought I'd do an update. I finally filed my status adjustment beginning of the month. I got the receipt notice last Friday. It'll be around 90days or more for the status adjustment to be processed. 60-90 days for the employment permit. Waiting game it is for now.

I watched Sex and the City, the movie yesterday, it made me miss my gurlfriends, made me nostalgic too. Sigh. I need a drink. Did I cry while watching the movie? If you know me, you'd know the answer to that.

I've been following Survivor Philippines and I'm enjoying it. I don't like the host much but other than that, I'm glued to the show.

It's getting colder here in O, yesterday it was in the 40s. We didn't even turn the AC on. Even NG used the comforter. If NG gets under the comforter that means it is cold. Right now, it's around 50s but it's supposed to go down the 30s tonight. Wow. I am not looking forward to the winter. Just have to deal with it. Will get winter clothes soon.

I'm gonna go for now. Must do some grilling, we're having Tilapia flakes for dinner. Hope you're all having a good mid-week. Keep the faith. God bless.

From a year ago...

"The following is an e-mail from the past, composed on Friday, September 28, 2007, and sent via FutureMe.org
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Dear Future Me, today is September 29, 2007, and you're still awake, as always...it's been tough lately between you and ..."

I forgot about that email I sent for my future self to read after a year...thinking back, that was the time that the distance was really getting to me. It was VERY tough to be in a long-distance relationship. It is not easy to be in a relationship period, much more if it's long-distance. A year after I thought we're not gonna make the relationship work because of the distance, look at us now, together in one timezone and married and dealing with life as one. I still won't recommend long-distance relationship to anyone though. It's a toughie. I'm glad we got through that.

Have a good week ahead. I'm gonna go back to my tv shows for now. I finished House [season 4] and watched the first two episodes of the latest season. Love that show. I'm 3 episodes away from finishing Dexter [season 2], I can't stand a few of the characters on the show but I still like the show. I like shows that is very talkie and Dexter talks to himself all the time. The third season started last night, same with the 2nd season of Californication [David Duchovny is love...I love hearing him talk...good speaking voice...] Until next time. October is around the corner. God bless.

I'm Not Bored...

Why is it that I can't blog as often as I want? I have the time, but like always, when I'm in the compose page of Blogger, the things that I wanted to blog about just doesn't seem worth sharing anymore? Oh well. Here I am, just writing whatever comes to mind. I wanted to blog about being stressed when your partner is stressed a few weeks ago but won't do that right now. Thankfully, NG's not as stressed at his part-time job nowadays unlike a few weeks ago.

My cousin AJ turned 18 last month, it makes me feel a bit oldish thinking that she's 18 now. Yowza. Where did the time go?


This was taken December 2000-2001 me thinks, AJ is the one on the left [wearing glasses] and Nadine is on my Nanay's lap on the right. It didn't seem that long ago.

This is Nadine now. She was in charge of the candles on her sister's birthday. 9 years from now, Nadine will be 18. Sigh. I'm getting nostalgic now.

Speaking of nostalgia, these guys are back. They had a concert in the Philippines when I turned 18 but my parents didn't let my sisters and I watched the gig. They will be here in town in November, maybe, just maybe, I'll get to see them this time around. I still have to persuade NG in coming with me. Hah. Bribes might work. We will see. Wish me luck.

I'm back on TV mode since the start of the week. I've downloaded the House [4th season and the first episode of the fifth season], I'm on episode 6 now, will finish it in a few days for sure. Loving it, I just can't take Kal Penn's character seriously, I kept thinking, that's Kumar! Hee. I also have Pushing Daisies [season one], How I Met Your Mother [2nd and 3rd seasons] to watch. I have to finish Dexter [season 2] on Showtime ON DEMAND as well. Must catch up on CSI, Brothers & Sisters [season 2], Scrubs [season 5 to present] as well. Accck. I love my shows. I may not get to watch them in real time anymore but it's all good, I actually prefer watching them one after another. No commercials. Gotta love technology for that. Any shows you think I should be watching nowadays?

Baked Ziti with white sauce and eggplant parmigiana. I miss this!!! and I MISS the gurls I'm with whenever I have that yumminess.

Even if the show ended years ago, with this calendar, they will always be there for me. Must have. It's on my Christmas wish list even if I don't have a list yet. Hee. You can get yours at Danilo.com.

I've started this post 2 hours ago and I'm still here. I think, it's time I go for now. Until next time, whenever that will be. Hee. Keep the faith. God bless.

And You Did What?...

I always want to post something in here but for some reason, I couldn't come up with anything that I think is interesting enough to share. Now, I'm just shooting the breeze, whatever will be, will be.

Got married a few weeks ago. It's bound to happen, was just a matter of time. Relieved we were able to pull it off. My Nanay was a bit worried how I'd be able to prepare for it. Dress, shoes and what not. Hee. I was able to handle it by myself, Thank God. We made the long-distance [not easy] thing worked while we had to. No more of daily emails, sms chats, weekend webcam chats and phone calls. In person communication is so much better. NG and I have been like a married couple since I got here but when it became legal and all, it was more special than anything that has happened to us, so far. I'm loveliking it. Very comforting to be married to someone you really want and love and viceversa. I feel blessed. Thank you to those who congratulated us. Do include us in your prayers and thoughts that we'll have a blessed married life.

I cooked something yesterday...it was tasteful enough, hee...NG liked it, he said, I should make it again...you can check the recipe here.

This one is from Post Secret. I tried to think of my fears and the most is about death. I shouldn't be afraid of that yes? I have faith. I know, it'll all be okay once we reach our time. I pray I'll be okay about that.

MajorDad gave us 72 bottles of Powerade. He told us he got a good deal on it, 50 cents/bottle at WalMart. He also gave us a bunch of [more] microwaveable foodies. I am grateful. He's one generous man.

Anyhoo, that's about it for now. Have a good day. Keep the faith. God bless.

Them Blogthings...

You Are a Realist

You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass. You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is... But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on. You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You

You are a giving soul. Way too giving in fact. You often get stuck doing the dirty work that no one else will do. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it. In relationships, you are practical and realistic. You have a romantic side, but you only let it out when it's appropriate.

What Do Your Bathroom Habits Say About You?

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary. You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward. Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts. All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

What Time Of Day Are You?

You Are 58% Peaceful

In general, you think the world's a pretty great place - and you're happy to be a part of it. Sometimes you struggle with life, but who doesn't? You are quite level headed, though you have more inner angst than you'd like.

How Peaceful Are You?

You are a PC

You're practical, thrifty, and able to do almost anything. Appearances and trends aren't important to you. You just like to get the job done.

Are You a Mac or a PC?

One of them days...

MajorDad gave this to us. We only have a handful of spices here at home, will have to get more so we can use this cool thingy.

My cousins Tin, Nadine and AJ, taken from the anniversary dinner of Tita Loida & Tito Raf. Missing them esp. Nadine's story-telling about anything and everything.

Been spending time on youtube lately and here are a few channels that I've been following lately, you might want to check them out if you have time.

Last Friday, I went to the mall, I got there okay. Found what I was looking for. On my way home, stopped by McDonald's and got some food. I was 11 blocks away from home. Waited at the North Omaha Transit Center. I know what bus number I was going to take. Waited some more. Finally, bus #18 arrived. The driver said how I was doing. I said, I was ok and asked him the same, he said, he's tired. I paid my fare. First time I didn't asked if the bus would take me to my destination. FIRST TIME that I didn't ask. And it turned out to be something that I would regret.

The bus was going the opposite direction, I just kept quiet, because I thought the bus will just go around as they do on their routes. BUT this particular bus was going to the garage after the route. The driver let me off to a street/bus stop where the same bus number will pass by and take me to my destination. It would have been okay except the next bus didn't come until an hour after. And when that bus finally came, it didn't stop. I hailed it. BUT for some reason, that I still and don't and may not ever know, the bus DIDN'T stop. I was the ONLY one at that stop. I was wearing a red shirt that it would be impossible to miss seeing me. SIGH. I lost it around that time and I cried out of frustration. I was in an area that I'm not familiar with. I was the only one waiting. Only passing cars and other type vehicles come and go. It was a scary time for me. I didn't know if there was a next bus coming since it was getting close to 8pm [good thing, even at that time, the sun was still up].

I waited another 45 minutes when bus #18 came by again, this time, I asked the driver if it was gonna pass by my destination. And thank God it was going that way. Was praying all throughout my wait in that bus stop. 2 hours me thinks. I cried some more when I got home. I'm a cry baby, couldn't help it. There were messages from NG on the machine waiting for me, that he was getting worried that I'm still not home when I told him I will be home around 2 hours earlier. SIGH. We got to talk about it when he got home and he decided, the next time I go out, I'll bring his phone with me, until I get my own. So, I can reach him if something like that happens again. I told him that will not happen again. It was MY mistake for not asking. I always asked the driver if it was going to where I was going the past times that I took the bus. It was the first time that I didn't ask and I paid big time. I rode the bus again last Monday, even transferred to another bus to get to my destination and I asked the driver each time. I learned my lesson. ALWAYS ASK, no matter what.

Met NG at Sam's Club after he got off work. We got some laundry detergent and caffeine for me. Before heading home, passed by Rotella's factory/bakery to get some bread. Got 3 loaves of bread, as we were paying, the cashier told us we were the 100th customer and the bread is free. Hee. That was a good surprise. We got 3 loaves of bread for free and it was the first time that we went there. NG has been telling me that we'd go there but it was only last Monday that we actually did and it turned out a goody one. He said, we'll get our bread at that place from now on and it's way cheaper there vs the other grocery places. Gotta love free bread.

NG and I will have our civil wedding ceremony next Friday. Seems like yesterday that we were talking about that day and now, it will happen in a week. We don't have any preparations for it, it's not really a wedding wedding where there are invitations and the works. It works for us, for now, we couldn't afford a wedding right now. With all the expenses ahead that deals with my status adjustment. It's not cheap. I want to start working soon, so, I can help NG with the expenses. I do have something to wear, will have to get NG's this weekend or on Monday, he doesn't like shopping. MajorDad emailed me and that we should meet and get something for NG. We got the rings, just waiting for it to arrived. I didn't think about the engraving until NG said we should add that. So, we did. Would be arriving this weekend me thinks. And that's about it, we might have lunch the next day after but still not decided since NG doesn't know if people will come. Will see. We got engaged in 2006 and it's 2008, we're still together and actually going through with this. We just have to see where this will take us. Not everyday you can meet someone the way we did and actually have something good come of it. I still can't believe that I'm actually here now...with NG...but it is what it is. One day at a time right? So far, so good. Please include us in your prayers. Will be appreciated. God bless.

Blackout...

My crush for this guy started when I was still in HS, that's quite a long time ago, and I still have this high school girl type crush whenever I see a recent photo of him. He was the Bench undie model for years until he got "overweight" and lost his right [if you can say that] to be the underwear model for Bench. Nowadays, it's Jon Avila, Dingdong Dantes [my friend said he kinda look like Zoolander whenever he poses...], Rafael Rossell who dons the latest undies for Bench.

Last Friday night, Bench had it's every other year denim/underwear show in the Philippines. If I was still there, I KNOW I would have been there to see that. Jomari is not as underwear ad worthy as 10 years ago, but he still and will always be my Bench undie guy. SIGH. He'll turn 32 next month. I should update the website I made for him me thinks. I've been saying that for the longest time. I just might. If I don't get too lazy. I got the images from the Team Kapamilya Multiply group, click on the link to see more pix from the Blackout Denim/Underwear show. I miss buying stuff from BENCH, they have a limited online store as of the moment, still not the same as being inside the store and being surrounded by the colorful undies. I lovelike undies on men. Bow. Don't ask. It just how it is. Hee.

My EBC friends...missing them...this was taken when Slutty Nurse [2nd from left, I don't remember how she became the "slutty nurse" coz she's really not, I think, we got it from FRIENDS...I don't remember for sure] had a recent vacay in the Philippines. The lucky dude in the pic is Neo.

Eeee, Ada aka Slutty Nurse, Miss Gwynnie and Doctora aka Nerdy Nurse [she recently passed the nursing exams...we now have two nurses in the group...CONGRATS again Doctora Nurse...your being studious and incommunicado during your review months really paid off...a mini wave for you...whooo]. I miss our VS [vodka session] gurls. Not fun to drink by myself. Maybe, I'll drink tonight.

I have been playing this game UNO!!!!!! My cousin Nadine and I used to play this card game back when I was still in the Philippines, now they have a computer version of the famous card game. Wheee. I wish it's an online game where you can play against real people though, that would really be FUN.

Been here in O for 2 months now...where did the time go? What has changed? I definitely gained weight. I haven't been eating much but the lack of activity [like walking a lot back when I was still working] on a daily basis could be the reason for my gain weight. I need a weighing scale, NG promised me one. I'm not overly conscious about it but I know how not easy it is to lose weight, I never really tried, I just played badminton a lot a few years and that's where it all started. I miss playing badminton. Who wants to play versus me? I'm not good at it but I can hit the ball when need to. Hee. I wake up at 5:45am every weekday, the same time as NG gets up. Then just do whatever is needed to do during the day. My computer is always on, just on standby until someone from home gets online and started chatting with me. Had a long chat conference with two of my friends yesterday, must have been more than 5 hours. So many subjects have been talked about. We even tried voice chat. Ain't technology cool? Yes, it is.

I went to the mall again today, not much time though, I was there for only two hours because had to get home before NG gets here since they keys were with me. Saw one skirt that I actually really liked. It was white, AND I'm not a fan of white clothing but for some reason, I liked it instantly. Might go back to get it. It was on sale too, so, it's like, coolness.

It's Saturday night, NG's night to unwind [loud tunes + drinking his Yukon Jack], so, I'm here in the living room, unwinding with him in the other room, I can hear the tunes LOUD and CLEAR out here even with the door closed. It's loud and I don't like it but that's how he unwinds AND knowing how a creature of habit he is, he will lose his mind if he don't get that each weekend. Hee. It's all about compromise yes? We have so many things to discover from each other, even if we've been together [long distance] since December 2004, we still have a lot of things to discover [both good and bad] about each other. An Aunt told me about something she read about this guy who's had a successful and lasting relationship, the guy said, you must have the 3 Cs: Commitment, Communication & Compromise. Will just have to keep that in mind for now yes? Hee. Sounds easy but it could be tricky.

Must go and play my game for now...and I think, I'd have a few glasses of AbDew or AbCran-apple. Have a good day. God bless.

Ella ella ella...

This Rihanna song has been covered by a lot of artists [famous or not] as I found on YouTube, for lack of things to say in here, I thought, I'd share some of the vids I found. There are more versions that you can find on YouTube, here ya go. Have a good day/afternoon/night. God bless.

Rihanna feat. JayZ [the original, I like this song, I like Rihanna...]


Marie Digby [she got famous via YouTube doing acoustic covers, this is actually not bad, her original songs are quite good me thinks...]


Boyce Avenue [I'm biased since I like this band...]


John Peter West [he just makes me feel mushy whenever I hear him sing, may it be this song or any other song for that matter, love the guy, would be nice to watch him live...]


Tegan & Sara [thought, I'd include this for variety...]


Vanilla Sky [the video is quite funny...]


Keith Urban & Carrie Underwood [I don't know about this one...]


Coco "Paragua" [I'm guessing paragua is umbrella in spanish?...this video makes me smile...the guy is shaking his bon bon...]


Manic Street Preachers [was surprised they covered this...]


Chipmunks [this is the ear-piercing version...]

Hah!...

I have a lot of time in my hands nowadays and I don't know what to do. Is that bad? I could just sleep all day but I can't sleep whenever I'm alone in this house. Not that I am feeling bad vibes in this house. Just can't. For some reason.

My routine is pretty much the same, M-F, get up at 5:45am, fix NG's lunch sandwich. Have my coffee. [sometimes, I eat breakfast when I feel like it]. He leaves before 6:30am. I turn on the computer, update the dailybread. Check my yahoo, gmail, hotmail, multiply, myspace, friendster and my blog. Then, will do some cleaning [not much really, since, there's not a lot of dust in here]. Laundry day is Friday. Then, just be online and wait for someone to chat with from home. My cousin Nadine messaged me via YM earlier [4am-ish my time] asking if I'm already awake and that she misses me, it was ALL CAPS. I miss her the most. Sigh.

I don't wanna cry right now. Hee. I am extra emotional whenever I have my period. Damn. My emotions go haywire whenever I have my period. Does any of the gurls reading this experience the same?

I still am getting used to being alone most of the day when NG is at work. Hoping to get work as soon as possible. Next month, will file my adjustment status and that work permit, I am praying the work permit will not take too long. Really wanna help out with the finances here. I know, NG says its all good and that he'd take care of me and whatever that I may need and everything else but I didn't plan to not work when I got here. I don't feel good not contributing something, anything. This is the longest time [I stopped working the week before I left the Philippines in May 25th] that I've been out of work. It's actually not fun. It would be fun to not work if I'm rich rich rich but I'm not.

This week, NG works 2 jobs, until 9pm, Tuesday to Friday. I just fix something for him to eat, mostly microwaveable foodies, since he's got lots to dispose of before we start buying, and I plan to learn how to cook, I just don't feel the urge yet each time I see the food that must be consumed first. And I want to learn how to cook, I brought some recipes with me and I have friends and my Tatay to ask when the time comes. NG found out last night, he'll get a Sunday [July 27] off that he didn't ask for. All goody. It's better than nothing. The next weekend off he'll have will be the weekend of August 15-17. He was surprised to find out that he gave him that Sunday off, he'll take it he said. He'll go to church with me again he said, I didn't ask, he said it first. THAT made me happy.

Anyhoo, I'm just rambling here. Trying not to think about negative thoughts on my present situation. I am happy. That much I know. Just that, sometimes, in life, you have to leave some people behind in order to be with someone. I don't like that fact but it is true. My friends and family makes me happy. NG makes me happy. But they are two different kind of happiness no? Tough to explain. I just wish my family and friends are happy for me. Though, I kinda know they are. But still, I know, they still worry about me. Everything that is happening [and will happen] to me nowadays will be mostly firsts for me. Some will not be goody but it's part of a package no? You can't choose to experience all the good things only. There have to be a balance of sorts. Whatever, I don't know what I'm saying. Will go for now, CRAMPS is acting up bad. Guys are so lucky they don't have monthly periods. For that fact only, I would want to be a man. Hee. Have a good day. God bless.

I heart this game...

This was their 3rd Wimbledon finals. Rafael Nadal was so close in winning it last year but Roger Federer won it in 5 sets.

It was one of the best matches [I thought their 5-set match last year was the best but this was even better...what's better than best? hee] I've watched. With a few rain delays, the match turned into another 5-setter, Nadal comfortably won the first two sets at 6-4, 6-4. I thought he was gonna win it in 3 sets. A rain delay interrupted the third set, it was close, none of them breaking a serve, until it reached on a 3rd set tie-break. Federer won it. Then came the 4th set, another close game, no one was dropping their serves, another tie-breaker, Rafa had a few chances of winning the match but again, it went to Federer's favor. As the fifth set begins, it was the same thing all over again, no one was breaking and no one was dropping their serves. A rain delay occurred, good thing it was only a short one. In Wimbledon, there's no tie-break on the fifth set, could have worked for Rafa's favor since he can't seem to win a set in tie-breaks with Federer. Rafa finally broke Federer's serve to get an 8-7 lead and he served for the match and ended it at 9-7. WOW. It was really an awesome match. I can only imagine how the people who were actually there felt. Someday somehow, I hope to be able to witness a live Wimbledon match. It might not be between Rafa and Federer but still, I know, I would love that. Will they meet again for a 4th consecutive Wimbledon finals next year? We just have to wait and see.

I was supposed to go out today but the tennis match kept me right here at home. Oh well. I'll just go out and buy a card tomorrow. 2 weeks of following the Wimbledon was all worth it, the men's finals was phenomenal. I now have a new favorite female player in Zheng Jie. Until next year's Wimbledon.

Have a good week ahead of you. Keep the faith. God Bless.

Quarters...

The Wimbledon quarter-finals will start Tuesday with the women's singles:
Zheng vs. Vaidova;
Radwanska vs. S.Williams;
Dementieva vs. Petrova;
V. Williams vs. Tanasugarn.

Then on Wednesday with the men's singles:
Federer vs. Ancic;
Lopez vs. Safin or Warinka [their match is ongoing, I want Safin to win]
Schuettler vs. Cilic or Clement [their match is ongoing as of this time]
Nadal vs. Murray or Gasquet [I'm guessing on Murray to win]

Not much rain delay this year, only had one so far, that lasted about an hour and a half. I am hoping no more rain delays will take place in the coming days.

Mario Ancic reached the semis in 2004. Didn't get to play last year due to injury. Had long matches in his 2nd, 3rd & 4th rounds in this year's Wimbledon. He'll face Roger Federer [5 time Wimbledon champion] for the quarter-finals. Will he win it? We'll find out on Wednesday.

He was soooo close from beating Roger Federer on their 5-set finals last year. Could this year be his? I hope so.

China's Zheng Jie will have her first quarter-final appearance in Wimbledon. She beat #1 Ivanovic on the third round. I want her to win but she still need to get past the Williams sisters [if they win their respective quarter-final matches that is]. Go Zheng Jie. This is her best Wimbledon performance to date. She reached 3rd round in 2006 vs Venus Williams.

You Tubing...

This song will always be special to me. Sigh. Timeless. Too bad the show didn't last very long. Jamie Walters will always be a favorite.

I LOVE MADtv...Miss Swan always cracks me up.

Journey will be coming to town next month. Would be fun to watch. We actually might. Steve Perry will always be Journey's voice but Arnel Pineda's "journey" to being the new lead singer of the band is quite sweet. Dreams do come true yes?

CUTENESS!!!

Only in the Philippines...
