Good job!

I really thought Rafa will have a comfortable win over the Fish last night but as it turned out Fish won the third set. I'm not quite sure how it happened, maybe Rafa fell asleep or maybe Fish thought that he'd have nothing left to lose so he just hit the ball and pray it won't go outside the line.















I heard that Andy Murray had it all figured out on how to beat Rafa tomorrow. But you know what I'm not even a tad worried. Hmmm... Strange.

Upset

I totally believed Fed when he said that he can beat Nole anytime, anywhere or something like that after beating him on the French Open but I bet he didn't see Jo-Wilfried Tsonga coming... what an upset!







As for you, young man, stay being cute! I really think that you won't be able to repeat what you did to Rafa at the Aegon but I really think you're cute.

What the...

Doesn't this remind you of this? Anderson is haunting me, again.
This is what I get for wandering away from him. weee....

This is soooo funny. Original post can be found here.

Ben!

I'm guessing this is from Frankenstein. Got this from a Russian Sherlock fan forum.

Vamos!

Thank goodness! There's no foot injury after all.

He was amazing last night! I'm always nervous when he's up against Delpo but last night Rafa killed the giant! I love it!

Ouch!

My back is killing me! It feels like it's going to be cut in half, literally! I can't stand. I can't sit. Heck! I can't even lie down! And you know what's worst? I have to be pretend that everything's fine in the office. I want to take a leave of absence but I can't...

Sigh...

Fourth place on the TT Circuit Assen.

Feeling much better now

Hoping this will cheer me up!

But he looks sadder than I am. Sigh.

More Sadness

Depression is surfacing... no one to blame but me. I've been longing, praying, begging even for this job for so long and when finally it's within my grasp... I let it all slip away. I'm a coward... I used to risk everything just to get a job that I want! Now... I sit and wail in a corner, wishing I never sent the email.
.

Sadness

My heart is breaking... I just let go an opportunity that I've been praying for since last year. Can't write about details yet because I need to hear his reply first, IF, he is to reply. Being an adult is so hard... too much responsibility... it's choking me!

Need something to fix me up!

.

Benny!

Had a very interesting day yesterday... met up with an old officemate, met someone not from here... it felt odd... will post details soon!

Anyway, I found this on the net... I miss Sherlock!

Damn those crickets!

I think I should mention that my husband has taken a pair of crickets from the fields as a pet. He said he brought it home for my son but after a day he has taken an old aquarium filled it with twigs, stones, coals and earth. I think he's trying to raise a colony (is that what they're called?) of crickets,

I didn't mind at first because I find the noise they make soothing at night, it's like sleeping out in the wild but when they do it in the morning.. such as now... they're driving me nuts! I find it hard to think... gggrrrr.... will post pictures someday!

King of Queens

Wait!

Is that a smile? Am I not seeing things?

Well, Andy, you can't imagine how happy I am for you! You certainly can win non-grand slam titles!

Enjoy!

Wet and Dreary

Valentino Rossi finished 6th on the Silverstone Circuit last Sunday. Gosh! You know you got it bad when even Alvaro Bautista is ahead you! I was quite happy it rained because I know Rossi is fast on the wet but then again...

I really can't help but feel disappointed with the way things are right now with Rossi. Race after race I wait for the magical moment but it seems like it's not time yet. My friends, even my husband, for crying out loud, teases me that Rossi is becoming what was Max Biaggi once... a has been. Ouch! But I refuse to believe it! It's the bike not the man! But then again... Biaggi blamed his bike too, back in the day! Oh, my head hurts... must erase that thought!

The appearance of Ewan McGregor brightened up my dreary day a bit! I almost forgot about him. I saw him last on the movie Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang... he has a movie coming out Jack the Giant Killer or something like that.

New film by Benedict Cumberbatch!

A low-budget Britflick in which four middle-class young men go on a sentimental road trip to Pembrokeshire: doesn’t sound like much of a movie, does it? The twist is that one of them has terminal cancer. To prick your interest further, he’s played by Benedict Cumberbatch. There is a small actorly elite whose members can read out the phone directory and make it sound like the King James Bible. Cumberbatch has lately become one of them. He’s the reason Third Star got past first base and boy does it lean heavily on the charisma of his performance.

The title is a misquotation from Peter Pan – “second star to the right and straight on till morning” (although the word “star” was in fact added to the Disney animation). The difference is that unlike Pan, the gift of eternal youth has been thrust upon Cumberbatch’s character: he is already facing certain death and glugging liquid morphine when we meet him blowing out the candles on his 30th birthday cake. His three oldest chums have been enlisted to take him on a nostalgic trip to a favourite corner of the Welsh coast. A sturdy chair rigged to wheels is brought along as transport for the invalid, and off they trot armed with rucksacks, tents and a determination to go wild.

Go home!

Dear old boy,

This could be the best thing that ever happened to you this past few days... when I watched you during your match with Tsonga I was secretly wishing you'd lose because you really looked like you weren't enjoying a single minute the whole time you were there. You just couldn't wait for Tsongga to put you out of your misery!

The passion seems lost. All I saw from your eyes were impatience and... dare I say... exhaustion! You seemed to have lost interest in the game and all you wanted was to go home.

There were talks during Roland Garros that you were tired and your game was showing it but I wanted you so much to win it for the sixth time so I looked the other way. But last night I saw the "look" and it was sad to see it from you!

So now, pack up and go home. Rest. Sleep. Spend time with family and friends.

See you in Wimbledon!

.

Congratulations, Rafa!

I just realized one thing... I haven't posted a proper photo of Rafa for his win at the Roland Garros!

I guess this will do!

*Gosh! It's the 9th of June and I still haven't gotten over it!*

Requirement for the French Open (me thinks)

Rafa and Bjorn are now tied, both have 6 French Open titles.

I think I finally figured it out... to make that far one must:

1. wear bandana or any head gear
2. be good-looking
3. have long hair











Having said that...

Try the U.S. Open, Andy!

Greatest On Red Clay (GORC)

It was a challenge to end all speculations that you won the French Open in 2009 because Rafa wasn't there but you failed... miserably, I'm afraid. You did great on the finals, you did not do anything wrong it's just unfortunate that you were against the Greatest On Red Clay.



I forget sometimes that he's human too.

Congatulations, Na Li!

I know I said I didn't like you before because of your tattoo which you already explained. But when you started to talk and make fun of your husband, well, you seem like a normal person... so... I'm sorry, I take back whatever I said about you.

I like you! After all I am part Chinese.

By the way, I saw Marat Safin watching last night but I can't find a photo of him! *frustrated*

Ouch!

Since the shift to Ducati this has been my fear race after race. It happened again during practice. Thank goodness he's alright!

Birthday Boy!

Here's a proper picture of Rafa! What a way to celebrate a birthday!

You are human after all

Suddenly, you're human again, but it's not all that bad. Your winning streak is getting kinda ridiculous really. And besides, you lost to the (arguably) Greatest Of All Time, would you rather have... say... delpo on the other side of the court to end your winning streak?

Paris. Clay. Rafa.

I knew it! Happy Birthday, Rafa!

Roger, do your duty, show up on Sunday for the finals!

So it all boils down to this... on the SF.

Rafa, Greatest on Red Clay (GORC) against...

this man...


And then...

Novak, Greatest of Right Now (GORN), against...

Roger the (arguably) Greatest of All Time (GOAT).

All four man has lot at stake not just the prize money:

1) It's Rafa's birthday so what better way to celebrate it by beating this Andy. I believe Rafa is not thinking about the Finals just yet, he's taking one game at a time, oh yes, uncle Toni raised him well.

2) Andy is still under pressure from his countrymen for lacking a Grand Slam title under his name, he's been very aggressive with his tennis recently not to mention his mummy watching his every move so I guess he is very very motivated and thirsty for his first GS title.

But seriously, do you really think you have a chance? You might as well wave the white hanky now and save your energy for Wimby, just a suggestion.

3) Novak is unbelievably on his 41st winning streak, he's on fire. If he beats Roger tonight he'll take the number one ranking from Rafa! I wonder if he sold his soul to the devil? haha...

4) Roger's been losing to Novak for 3 times in a row now, I think the man's just had enough of Novak's stellar performance, it's about time someone stop him.

I'm still wishing for a Fedal finals though.

But here's the catch, if the GOAT defeats the GORN, the GORN will not take the number one ranking from the GORC at least for now. The no. 1 ranking will only remain in the hands of the GORC if he wins in the Finals however, if the GOAT takes the trophy the GORN will take the no. 1 position. How sad it must be for GOAT.

Hello, stranger!

Happy birthday my love!

.

This is why I don't like Andy! Andy Murray, that is!

Yikes!













And your mummy doesn't care as long as your winning?!

French Open!

I take deep breaths every minute, my heart's just about to explode every night... well... every other night to be more precise and I looove it! Nothing like a Grand Slam to keep me busy everyday!



Rafa's through QF against Robin Soderling and he won. My heart's racing still so sleeping will be next to impossible.

Just saw Andy Murray won against Chela. So it's Novak against Fed tomorrow and Rafa against Murray on the next day. Can't wait to watch it. I better watch what I eat so I won't have to take Xyzal -- that darn medicine knocks me out instantly.
