Nadal: Sublime Spaniard - Wimbledon site

Several hours after enduring a 30-minute casualty over our gasoline-empty van trapped in the wilderness of Bacoor (SM Molino lang), I went online to browse websites about Rafael Nadal and his HUGE....... 2008 Wimbledon trophy.

It was for our sports journalism article. We were asked to write a feature about his winning streak on the world's most sought-after tennis championships.

When our female professor (note: don't underestimate girl power) stopped in front of us and said: "Gather materials about Rafael Nadal, you'll be writing a feature article about him next meeting," my face went from all smiles to HUWAAAAAT?!

Translation: WHO THE HELL is Rafael Nadal??? (note: the triple question marks). Sad to say, I don't have interests in tennis nor football. I know the game, thanks to nintendo and the family computer, but I don't know who's who in the tennis realm.

So I went on looking for Nadal and some write-ups and was glad to come across some photos ---- he wasn't that good-looking but he's got the bod. Whew! Muscles. And again, he should give credits to the grass court and all his opponents for giving him such great biceps.

And now here comes the unbelievable part. He was dubbed as "sublime". Whoa~where did Roger Federer went? The site should explain why Nadal qualifies for the sublime category of mortals on earth!!!

Let's present two of the members of the Sublime Gallery Hall of Fame: Beethoven and Jose Rizal, courtesy of Ms. Soriano from our Literary Criticism class. So where's Nadal? Wimbledon website says: INCOMING!

Try searching for his life story and maybe you'll be fascinated by his achievements. But for now, don't you think his Wimbledon trophy speaks enough?

Just reacted from the Wimbledon site remark.

Move over Coverboys, VANSENBUGOY is here!!!

It's not that I'm a Coverboys fanatic. It's because the new boy band has landed Philippine TV. Haha! I can't think of a better name other than VANSENBUGOY which is a combination of their names anyway. VANSENOY wouldn't sell these guys either. And I think giving them a name like Backstreet Boys or Nsync will make Mr. M or Mr. C mad.

Billie Crawford named them BUSENVAN which sounded like a bus and a van. Hmm. Sounds like I lack the creativity. It's better than VANSENOY but it still sounds like a... very alien name.

I was just so excited about their performance, I even kept some notes on last night's Pinoy Dream Academy episode. It would be good to dish it out with Ate Nao. Nikki and Apa couldn't keep up with my craziness over the BUGOY team. Haha!

A Day Without Sunshine... A Day Without a Melody...

Rick Astley may be coming in the Philippines but Englebert Humperdick's line came right in my head. And I blame my dad for it.

For once, I wanted to clear all academic stuff in my mind and live life like a normal person. Huwaat?!

The reasons:

THESIS

major essay about modern theories and the POETICS of (Manong) Aristotle

And more to come... (Specialized writing: wait-listed...)

Apa told me to listen to classical music for some inspiration.

So I have to download it. GREAT. Now I'm thinking of Menudo (Ricky Martin batch).

And my Limewire takes so much time and space off my age-old laptop.

A Book Containing Silent Hill Facts

A friend in high school posted an entry about a site containing Silent Hill-related materials on his multiply blog. The site includes "facts" about the Silent Hill game that are compiled in book available only in some parts of the globe.

Here's the link of his entry:
