Unscathed

How far apart is considered far?
And how close together is considered close?

-to my sisters

relationships in our lives evolve constantly…
sometimes we are closer than ever…

sometimes we just couldn’t stop the drifting apart…
you may preserve the moment like a mental picture…

but there’s nothing you could do about the fading…

KREMLIN CUP 2008 (Oct 6-12, 2008)

Final: Marat Safin vs Igor Kunytsin at 3pm    (Russia time); 7pm (Philippine time)

I was so excited!

two ‘n a half hours later… Marat Safin  defeated by Igor Kunitsyn

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

who the hell is Kunytsin?!?!

Come on Marat, you’ve been world #1 - how come you let a nobody beat you???

I’m a huge fan of Safin  since 2000 when he beat Sampras at US Open in straight set, I’ve been following his games week after week tenaciously - in a very perverse way actually.

He’s the best!

And I’m not saying it because I’m a fan, everybody… everyone… even legendary players were praising him because he is amazing - or should I say he was amazing. >>> sigh”well, there’s another tournament”, but come on! it’s been 3 ‘n a half f***ing years!

well, i’m so stressed out!… i guess being a Marat Safin fan is exasperating… but I still love him!

i”m bored………..!

so i took some silly quizzes…………,

like…

RICH QUIZ

According to the test, “You will have lots of money. Having lots of money will allow you to buy pretty things, and socialize with pretty people.”

- oh by the way, one of the question is if i’m in a relationship & if i’m in-love?, come’on what’s the relevance of my having a boyfriend with my having lots of money???

Another quiz is…

WHAT KIND OF GIRL ARE YOU?

According to the test, i’m an angel.

“You are pure and beautiful. Looking into your eyes is a religious experience. When you spread your wings men fall to their knees, and kiss the ground. Hallelujah! “

- well, guess what? I’m single!!!!

finally,

ARE YOU A GOOD PERSON?

… the result is i’m CUTE…

“Cute people are highly suspicious! Because you’re cute, people naturally trust you. That trust, however, may be misplaced. Often a cute demeanor is merely the cover for a nefarious person. “

- definitely NOT!!!

and blame that green stuff for all the tears.

“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls.
The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity.
And you’re keeping all of them in the air.
But one day, you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
The other four balls - family, health, friends and integrity - are made of glass.
If you drop one of those, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shatered.
And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life”
—James Patterson, Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas

QUESTION:    How many balls are you able to juggle at the moment?

whoohooo… Celtics is the new NBA champ! Well deserved!

I saw Leah Salonga’s concert on ABS-CBN last Sunday, and watching her singing the songs from the Les Miserables makes me realize how much i love the play/ the characters/ & of course the songs… so much so that i can’t help but sing along with her, and even finding myself singing I Dreamed a Dream 2 days after.

Do I need to say more?
For me John Lennon is one of the most gifted songwriter, if not the best, but ’till now it baffles me why did he choose Yoko Ono over The Beatles.
What’s with her anyway?

i watched the defunct tv series The Bedford Diaries, it has an average format or story.. whatever.. but it’s cool - not to mention that Milo Ventimiglia of Heroes & Penn Badgley of Gossip Girl were among the cast,,, but what really cool is the line they used in one episode where they’re looking for the Miss Bedford University an on-line voting thing… one of the candidates said that " if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then so is the degradation"…  hahahaha…. what the f***! i was laughing my head off when i heard it, but hey… like what i said the line is cool if not moronic!

Marat Safin is ousted in the French Open… i have this mantra that goes Manalo, Matalo, Marat pa rin ako!… but i’m getting tired… he’s loosing & loosing & loosing… i hope & i pray Marat will do good on his next tournament…. ggrrrhhhh…. it’s frustrating!

i’m sad that San Antonio Spurs is out in the finals, but happy that Boston Celtics is in! 21 years ago it was Magic Johnson  of  Lakers and Larry Bird of Celtics and now it’s Kobe Bryant vs Kevin Garnett… i’m voting for the Celtics, i don’t like Bryant he’s so full of himself just like his coach Jackson… go Celtics!

American Idol Road to Finals,,, yeah yeah yeah i watched it again, a marathon from 8:30 in the morning to 12 midnight… and again i’m baffled that Michael John & Carly Smithson was eliminated at the early round,,, but the consolation? seeing Jason Castro again - he’s really a cutie.
