Anderson doesn't drink but somehow Lady Gaga got him drunk!

Sad Day

It's my father's birthday today! Such a sad day specially for my mother. Words are still not enough to console her. It's been 4 years since he died and yet the pain is still visible in her eyes.

Now and again, I still miss him. A big part of my life has been taken away when he died so how can I not feel what I feel. I cry sometimes but I keep it all to myself...

Nerd Alert!

He had to choose the nerdiest-looking eyeglasses to "cure" his astigmatism and yet he still managed to look gorgeous:




Reminding me of my other TV boyfriend, Simon Baker:

Yearning for Steve

I've always known Steve Mcqueen, I just didn't pay much attention to him but I grew up hearing his name because my father liked him a lot. I think I remember my father telling me something about Papillon, he loved that film but I guess I did not listen. It starred Steve Mcqueen, of course.

Lately, I find myself yearning to watch all of Mcqueen's films, all because of Cinemax which a month ago started to show his films! I accidentally watched The Great Escape and you know what?! I loved it!!! I wouldn't tell you the plot because this is not a movie review though. I recently watched Le Mans, it had a little dialogue and most of the scenes were race shots but it is definitely worth watching. I'm watching Bullitt now, will tell you if it's good or not in future blogs.

And before I forget I just found out that I had a blog before that briefly mentioned Steve, see... this is not just a phase I must have always liked him I just didn't know it then. Maipilit lang!

New Shoes

My son cries every night before going to sleep ever since I've been assigned in night shift. I guess he'll be crying for two months more. My heart breaks every time I leave the house. He seems so scared and worried. He wants so much to spend time with me, there's always not enough time for us, he tells me all sorts of lines just to keep me from saying goodbye. Here are some memorable lines:

"Please don't say you're leaving kasi nasa-sad ako."

"Nanay, please wake up I want to see you moving."

"Nanay, please don't sleep too much."

"Hindi pa kita nakikita ng complete aalis ka na agad?"

What more can I do but to tell him that we'd see each other again in the morning, God willing, of course, that's also a lie because by the time I get home they'd be long gone in school.. They usually get home at around 4pm and during that time I'm in deep slumber and probably dreaming of Vale, teeheee! Sorry, fangirl just came out.

The past two weeks were extra hard on him (it was hard on me too) because I practically became a bed spacer in my own house; I only came home to sleep for about five hours and then off to the office again, weekends included. I had no idea that his P.E. shoes had been damaged, the top portion of his right shoe, right on top of his little toe was split open and he's been using it for two weeks without telling. When I asked him about it he told that he wanted to tell me it's just that I was always sleeping when I was at home. My heart sank when I heard his reply. I bought him a new pair of shoes the very next day.

Thus, the reason for this blog, he drew me this picture as a way of telling me how much he misses me, I guess words are still not enough for him.

Live Fast Die Young

The past two weeks have been a reminder to everyone that motor sports is dangerous. This is no tribute to Shoya Tomizawa it's just that I liked the guy! He's always smiling and he seemed nice!

Sayonara, Shoya!

This happened while I was away...

Just as I imagined, Rafa will get through his weekend matches! Good luck, kid! I watched his match against Gilles Simon this morning (I live on the opposite side of the globe so...) and he's looking like a winner, a U.S. Grand Slam winner to me!
















Stanislas Wawrinka showed Andy Murray the door! And I couldn't be any happier! Yay! I know... I get a sick pleasure from seeing Andy suffer... Ha ha ha!














A magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocked New Zealand last Saturday! Whoa! Look how strong it was!

















And lastly, Vale made it to the podium! He went past Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso to seal the position!

Good job!

I'm loving Isha Sesay with Anderson Cooper, they're a good pair!

Missing Misano

I'll be missing this weekend's race, sadly, because I'll be out of town. :-(

You're just having a bad day, nothing to it!

How can you not love a guy who talks about his motorcyle this way:


Letter of Departure by Valentino Rossi:

“It is very difficult to explain in just a few words what my relationship with Yamaha has been in these past seven years. “Many things have changed since that far-off time in 2004, but especially ‘she’, my M1, has changed. At that time she was a poor middle-grid position MotoGP bike, derided by most of the riders and the MotoGP workers. Now, after having helped her to grow and improve, you can see her smiling in her garage, courted and admired, treated as the ‘top of the class’.

“The list of the people that made this transformation possible is very long, but I would like to thank anyway Masao Furusawa, Masahiko Nakajima and ‘my’ Hiroya Atsumi, as representatives of all the engineers that worked hard to change the face of our M1. Then Jeremy Burgess and all my guys in the garage, who took care of her with love on all the tracks of the world and also all the men and women that have worked in the Yamaha team during these years.

“Now the moment has come to look for new challenges; my work here at Yamaha is finished. Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!’”
