Wimbledon

My fascination with the world of tennis seized when Hingis bid adieu.

It didn’t help that Pat Rafter retired early from the sport and decided to be a surfer instead.

Most of my faves have either been in and out of injury (Haas) or have simply lost their mojo (A-Rod).

The Williams Sisters are still interesting to watch. Anna paved the way for slew of hot babes from Russia. They are pure eye candies.

Federer remains to be a tennis god. That was up until he lost to Nadal in the recent Wimbledon Finals.

Roger must be feeling like shit right now. Raft3r feels for the guy. The Federer Express was going for a record breaking six consecutive Wimbledon trophies and the spunky Spaniard snatched it away from him.

I know how it feels to lose something you badly want.

I feel bad for Roger. So close to the record. :( Plus, he's like way behind in his one-on-one with Rafa, so how can people say he's the greatest ever if he has a significant losing record against the world #2?

I'm glad Venus won, though.

"I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO LOSE SOMETHING YOU BADLY WANT."

Nice line! I can relate. I have been to situations where I was near to getting what I really wanted, only to lose it to someone else in the end.

Sad... but that's life!

raft3r!

I'm sorry training is turning out to be lame... I have a hard time being forced to read and it sounds like you have your hands full with texts and workbooks.

Hopefully it will get better and at least you are another week down ;)

My friend Ryan just started this social networking site (like myspace or facebook but not so commercialized and teenybopper filled)called 30SomethingDating.

It is awesome and I think that you should join and spread the world through your friends in the Philippines and all you meet in your work travels (which I must admit I am incredibly jealous about ;)

If nothing else, it is a great way to spread word of your blog!

Check it out!
