Simple act of kindness


My heart dropped when I saw Vale crashed last weekend at the Laguna Seca. Not on my birthday please! Phew! He got up... what a relief.



Look at the poor motorcycle! Wait... I think the Desmo deserved it! After all, that bike is the cause of all the misery. Bastard!



But what just Nicky did for Vale is priceless, I became a fan of Nicky instantly, I totally like him now, Jorge would never do something like that.  A simple act of kindness really goes a long, long way and it lives deep in the heart!

Birthday Blues

I've never been excited about my birthday, just the people around me... if it was up to me I'd just lie in bed and watch telly. But since I always work on my birthday it is inevitable to avoid people so... I have to smile and wave, well, so to speak.

I'm tired of working on my birthday. Vacation leave is blocked on the 3rd and 4th week of every month in the office. So there. I pray to God everyday to give me another less demanding job where I can spend a little vacation with my family without feeling any guilt!

I'm supposed to have an operation scheduled this month but I can't give a green light yet to my doctor because I feel so guilty leaving work for two months! Oh, God! Please give me strength!

Not a fan



I've never been a fan of Christian Bale, in fact, the only movie I could remember that I watched with him on it is, this is so embarrassing, Empire of the Sun! But what he did to the victims of the Colorado shooting was just so nice and very human.

He could've sent flowers and his prayers but he went there himself. I  have found a new respect for you, Mr Bale. I just might watch your other movies too!

No, Really! How did he die?

Molly is involved, that I am sure of because of this:


Sherlock: “Molly, I think I’m going to die.”
Molly: “What do you need?”
Sherlock: “If I wasn’t everything that you think I am, everything that I think I am, would you still want to help me?”
Molly: “What do you need?”
Sherlock: “You.”





And then Sherlock told Watson to "Stop there!" As if he is directing Watson where he should be standing. Something's going on on the ground and Watson must not see it.
Then Watson tried to move again so Sherlock shouted "Stay exactly where you are!"





 
 Then Sherlock falls, now that's a mystery there, was Molly on the rooftop and managed to switch Sherlock with an already dead person or did Sherlock really jump? By the way, did you notice the truck right where Sherlock fell? Because right after the fall...

as John was about to run to Sherlock he gets knocked down by a bike. That's no accident it's all part of the plan, they need to distract John for a few seconds to execute the switch. Remember the truck? That must be where the other Sherlock is...
Or Watson could even be drugged, remember Baskerville? Maybe what he saw was just fed to him it did not happen at all.

 I'm not going anywhere, am I? Oooh, I think I'm going insane! 

Elementary

This is very disturbing, An American version of Sherlock?! Johnny Lee Miller will play Sherlock and Lucy Liu will play Watson. I have nothing against them two, I actually like them but... the writers better not copy BBCs Sherlock!

The pilot episode is being written by Robert Doherty aka Bob Mayer, he wrote Tru Calling, not a very good series so...

No reason to watch the Olympics






Rafa won't be participating at the 2012 Olympics because he is in no condition to compete. He is supposed to be the flag bearer for his country. Sad new indeed. His knee tendinitis sidelined him again.

Be well for the US Open Rafa!

I have no reason the watch Olympics... but wait... is David Ferrer playing?

The Reichenbach Fall

So how did Sherlock die?




I have a few theories in mind but I guess I'll have to wait a year before knowing if I got it right. All that's clear is that Molly is involved in this.











As always I won't be posting review about the episode for those who still have not watched it, at least here in our country. But I will share these because I am itching to write these down:






  • Sherlock trusts Molly completely
  • But for the sake of law and order Sherlock suggest to Molly that she should avoid future relationships
  • And Molly do count in Sherlock's life
  • Sherlock has 3 friends after all, John, Mrs Hudson and Lestrade
  • Lestrade did not stand up for Sherlock, I hate him. And to think that I actually liked him in The Hounds of Baskerville! Grrrr...
  • Mycoft is a bad brother, he can't even say sorry himself

Mugello Race 2012


It was a nice race Vale, finishing 5th is more than I can ask considering your situation right now. 
I hope you make a good decision for 2013.

Mugello Again (Why am I so scared?)









Here's to wishing you the best and a safe race at Mugello. Please don't crash!!!

Good for you Marc!



Marc Marquez's 2013 racing career is already ironed out it seems. With Casey Stoner retiring (why don't I believe this) HRC will need someone to take his place. So there. He will be racing along side fellow Spaniard Dani Pedrosa.






Marc's really fast, I hope Dani keeps up.

Wasn't Meant To Be

My husband got a call from Dolphy's doctor that he's scheduled to to donate blood on Tuesday, the 10th of July at 9pm; my husband agreed and all was set. I guess that's how special Dolphy was, the doctors themselves make the call or maybe they were just being careful.

He was on his way to the Makati Medical Center when he got a got a call again at around 8:40 pm telling him that the donation will not push through anymore because Dolphy had an emergency earlier and they already acquired the blood from the Red Cross. It was a lame excuse really, when my husband called me up to inform me that he was cancelled I knew that Dolphy might be dead already. Why else would they cancel? I wanted to be wrong because I feel like he's part of my life. Everyone's worst nightmare came true, he passed away that night leaving the country in mourning. He was well loved and respected because of his humility and professionalism. He was one of a kind. I only one thing to confess, I have not seen any of his films in colored... I love the black and white Dolphy, when he was still very thin and very young. I don't know why. I've known Dolphy since forever and for some strange reason I feel like I lost a father too.

My heart is heavy.

The Hounds of Baskerville



Clever. The writing was very clever. I've always wondered how the writers are going to update this series, it was really worth the wait. It's good to see Russell Tovey once more. I actually thought he was going to transform again. I've stopped watching Being Human since Mitchell died.



Here's a few funny and unforgettable scene:
  •  Watson gets irritated whenever Sherlock turns up his collar.
  • Sherlock steals an ID from Mycroft ages ago... Mycroft's name literally opens doors.
  • Sherlock drugged Watson so he can test how it affects average brains. You know what he means.  
  • Watson got hurt when Sherlock tells him he has no friends!
  • Sherlock apologizes, well, sort of, to Watson by telling him that he has only one friend.
 Ooops! my popcorn's just about ready for The Reichenbach Fall.

Tsk... tsk... tsk...

I am so sad for you! That was the best chance to win a grand slam and you wasted it! Anyway, you're the first British man to enter the finals in Wimbledon in 74 years. I guess that's still something to be proud of.

Wimbledon 2012

You continue to break my heart. You were doing great what happened?







Andy, I know I've been mean to you ever since. I've always loved to pick on you, your hair, your shoes, everything! By the way, why don't you try to go bald, it could work. You don't look all that bad -- it's the hair that turn people off. Believe me! Anyway, the tweets are right you are the drama king of tennis, I say, enough of the drama and win that grand slam! I know you can do it! Rafa's out of the picture take advantage of the situation. It's about time you win!

Dolphy update

My husband's blood has been screened. It seems like he passed because he was told that the hospital will contact him for the schedule. The procedure will take 4 hours maximum to complete because they won't be needing whole blood just the platelets. I did not understand it at first also and I will try my best to explain it.

A machine will be plugged to my husband, his whole blood will pass through the machine which will then separate the components of the blood retaining just the platelets and then returns the remainder of the blood into his body. This will be his first time to do this kind of procedure. Late last year he donated Plasma to a patient in St. Luke's Medical Center, it also took hours to complete the process, my husband felt numb, he was shaking and his lips turned purple. He took a video of himself and showed it to me, I almost cried. And now, he's ready to do it again.

May God bless my husband!

I love Dolphy

His name is Dolphy, he is our comedy king.

I grew up watching his movies. Nobody made me laugh so hard like he did. I never realized this until I thought he was going die. I felt sad when he was rushed in the ICU, sure I like him a lot but I never felt a connection with him until my husband got a call and text from people close to him asking if my husband could donate blood for Dolphy.

My husband regularly donates blood to people because unlike me his blood is rare almost royalty, mine is O+, the peasant of all blood types, a commoner. Anyway, he'll be screened later at the Makati Medical Center and then if he passes, which I think he will, he will be scheduled in the next two weeks, God willing. I just might tag along with him.

Sherlock Series 2 EP1




Oooh! I'm so excited, I just finished watching "A Scandal in Belgravia."






It's funny, it's touching, it's exciting, I looove it! I won't tell anything about the plot because I don't want to be a spoiler but this I want to share:

 
  • Sherlock is capable of caring, he doesn't want to admit it but he showed it a couple of times to Mrs Hudson
  • Sherlock is still mean to Molly, I almost cried when he took the gift right out of Molly's paper bag just to prove a point.
  • Sherlock is capable of loving, he's just not ready for it yet.
  • Sherlock was beaten by a woman. The woman.

He's Out!



Finally, it's out in the open, I don't think it's a surprise at all. It's been a long time coming Andy. But to be honest I still felt a pang. I didn't expect that at all because I know. I knew. I've always known. The truth hurts I guess but it's better this way.

I initially started this blog for you, I had a lot of delusions and not enough people to tell it to so... here I am, seven years since I first saw you, I still watch AC360, still crushing on you like a giggly school girl. Love yah Andy!!!

Queen Sofia of Spain is in the country for a couple of days. The newspaper says she will personally inspect projects funded by the Spanish government. I'd like to think that I don't care but I'd love to see her in person. Now that's weird.
