Semi-heartbreaking

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

He’s my second favorite player, next to Roger Federer. If there’s one player I can accept Federer losing to, it would be him. That’s why it semi-heartbreaking to see him out early in Wimbledon.

Roddick Stunned by World No. 82 Lu

I know some people will be crying buckets of tears (as if coming out of faucets) with Andy Roddick’s loss in the fourth round of Wimbledon. I want to cry too. It’s too early! I mean, after that epic finals last year with Federer, Roddick certainly deserved to advance further!

But I guess that’s just the way the ball goes. It’s just disappointing. There’re more years to come. I hope Roddick gets another championship before he retires.

Oh, and at least Federer is still in, and my heart is still intact. I just hope Federer wins, or else, I might give up watching tennis…again.

US diary: part 1: San Francisco

This post also appears in Bahay ni Kumareng Grace. I decided to post it here also because of the trauma of “hackers.” Important posts like this need back-up. And I’m posting it here for MY own sake.

**********

Arriving in a new country always leaves me palpitating. After all, it’s like a whole new world. Much like when I first stepped in to European soil, I was like a giddy child when our plane landed in San Francisco. My father kidded me, “Oh, humalik ka na sa lupa ng Amerika.” Even if my father would conclude at the end of the trip that the places looked the same [and I’d like to think he was just being sarcastic], with the exception daw of the Grand Canyon, I thought otherwise. Each place we visited was unique in its own way, each having its own charm.

San Francisco was our Ellis Island for this trip. I remember it was not too busy when we arrived, and we were almost the only ones going through immigration. I was a bit worried about this part of the trip because of the stories of some friends [na pinahirapan daw sila ng immigration officers]. But it turned out there was nothing to worry about…we went through in a breeze. Hmmmm…was it perhaps because my mother was in a wheelchair, or because my aunt, who is a nun, was with us? But they were not with us in line, kami lang ni Wendy! So I would like to think of it as more of God’s hand working! Anyway, on we went, ready to face the Land of Milk and Honey [at least for us Filipinos].
