Bits of Fun In A Normal Day



This is one of those days when I just feel happy to post a blog entry. I woke up rather late this morning and found our TV tuned in to The NBA finals: Lakers vs Celtics. Well, I'm not fond of watching basketball, but lately, I've been hearing a lot of people talking excitedly about this match. It was all so exciting; the game score ended so closely and the two teams were alternately overdoing each other towards the end. I LOVE this feeling of excitement! It's when you watch something and you feel so immersed into it that you forget everything else!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to another sport event: Wimbledon. This grandslam will be on from June 21- July 4. Last year, so many fans (including me) were frustrated because of Nadal's absence. This year it's more positive he will be there. I'd like to see another championship between him and Federer. I guess that's what many others are dreaming of too! It's a joy and a relief that I won't have to scour for free live streams over the internet because Starsports will have a full Wimbledon coverage. I'm crossing my fingers that Rafa will remain injury free for Wimbledon. I've read that for this reason, he's actually resting and relaxing at the moment. That's a wise move Rafa!

Moving on to another topic, I'd like to share that I feel a bit more knowledgeable about my work. I have posted before that I feel so stressed and pressured about it. Actually, I still feel like that usually and I won't deny it. Maybe some of you are actually wondering where I may be working. Well, here's to a revelation: I work at a hospital. I do not plan to go into details about it but I tell you, it's a pretty pressured environment to get into. However, I'm managing and trying to keep my life balanced in all other aspects. It's a joy that life has so many things to offer and that all these challenges I'm facing are just part of life's bigger picture.

Finding joy in even the smallest things is a trait I would like to develop. It is essential in order to live a happy, fulfilling life. Isn't that the kind of life we'd all like to have?

Till my next post everyone!

My 2010 French Open Statement


Hey! I just want to say, and I'll say this fast: Go Rafael Nadal! Yes I do hope Rafa wins the French Open. It's 10 pm now and I know I have to go to sleep. Yet, I'm still watching internet live streams. Unlike last year, I haven't placed any widget of the Roland Garros tournament on my blog. Anyway, this post ought to do it for me, just a litte something to prove that i haven't forgotten the fun of tennis.

So there, I won't be able to finish this off till the end (end of the tonight's final , that is). I hope to wake up to a really good news tomorrow. I have to say though, even if I'm rooting for Nadal, that Soderling has been really admirable. I mean, he's GOT what it takes to really be on the top, right? He's beaten Nadal last year and now that he's secured a place at the final, he's proven that it wasn't all just luck that made things work for him last year.

I do wish I'm now in Paris watching at court Philip Chatrier. Anyway, I pray for a fair game and the best of conditions for both players to play their best tennis!

Go Nadz!!! I know that after tonight's fight, you'll be number one again. Go get that fifth Roland Garros title!
