Hi everyone!
Its been a while since I've shared something
about me here.
I noticed that I've been sharing most about tennis
and Roger Federer.. (.^__^.)
Its time to change for a bit.

1st of all, I am happy that I have passed
all my subjects for the 1st semester of my 3rd year in college
and I am happy with the results.
Well, I can't do anything more to change the results, so why not be happy?
But seriously, I'm happy..
except for that FINANCE 101..urrrggh!
Good thing basic lang kami meron, hanggang 101 lang.
Wala ng 102, 103, 104.... blah,blah! (.^__^.)
YES!

New semester, new life.
But I have plans of re-reading my marketing books.
Note: Just Marketing Books, okei?
Its funny! But I'm not kidding..hehe!

To continue my story,
I think hinde ko pa nakukwento yung tripping namin with my friends last Oct.21
Now, I'll share it.
Last Oct. 21, me and my friends went out because its our sembreak and we kinda miss each other that much.. (.^__^.)
Honestly, wala kaming stable plan kung saan pupunta.
Ganon naman kami lagi eh.
Anyway, since nalaman ko na may tennis court pala sa UP,
we went there just to see how it looks.
Well, its okei naman.. kaya lang their fees are a bit expensive
especially if you are not a UP student.
Well, that's a problem coz I am a Thomasian.
So, hindi na kami natuloy.
And besides wala naman ako racket na dala, kaya parang nonsense na din.

And then after nun, we went lunch sa SM Marikina. Sabi nila new mall daw yun, kaya dun kami.
Okei naman, kasi malapit yung mall sa park kaya dun din kami muna nagspend ng time.
We are happy. (.^__^.)
Kasi after all the "hardships" we've had for the 1st semester, we deserve to have a break.
And we had it.

More stories coming up next time!
(.^__^.)

SWISS INDOORS 2008: ROGER HAS THE FINAL LAUGH

Roger won! yey! yey! And I was there..
In front of my computer, watching a livestream
that buffers most of the time.

But that won't matter much..
Because I've seen the whole match and the awarding ceremony.
And Roger defeated Nalbandian making it 10-8 against him.
This title win is his 4th this year...

1st: Estoril Open - clay
2nd: Gerry Weber Open (Halle) - grass
3rd: US Open - hard court ourdoor
4th: Swiss Indoors (Basel) - hard court indoors

wow! so that would mean, Roger made a title in all surfaces this year.
Not that bad! (.^__^.)

awwww.. soo special!

With all those critics, Roger still has the final laugh! haha!

WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE

Been watching this online!
I'm having fun!
I love fantasy, magic... and this is a perfect one.
A Disney Channel TV series that is perfect for me this vacation.
Looks like I'm gonna finish the whole season soon! :p

SWISS INDOORS: Federer vs Reynolds

Roger Federer is now on his second round in Basel
after defeating Bobby Reynolds in tricky 3 sets
6-3 6-7 (6) 6-3.

While I'm watching the game on a livestream,
I thought.. "yikes! look at the tie-break, what's happening?"
And I fear an upset in his own home turf.

At least, he bounced back and made Reynolds a bit pressured on the final set.
And guess what, I slept 3:00am.
For the first time ever in a livestream.
hehe! (.^__^.)

URBANDICTIONARY

One of my friends told me to check
the site urbandictionary.com
to know how cool they define things.
Oh yeah, I think my friend was right.
They are funny!
Below are some questions, which are easy to answer
and look how urbandictionary defined it. (.^__^.)

What is Your Name? Marielle
-Someone worthy of supercoolness.

-a sweet thang, with a stunning personality and as funny as jerry seinfield. she also enjoys the brandons.

**Oh, I agreee!**

What is Your Age? 19

-To "be 19", or to have "gone 19" essentially means that something has gone wrong,
is just plain weird, or is inexplicable.
Derived from Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' series. Its true meaning,
if anything more than a motif, has yet to be revealed.

-An impossible number to score in one hand of cribbage.
Usually, when one says that they scored 19, they have no points in their hand.

-A pop singer

-Pink*The New Red!

-Color seen as the most stereotypical "feminine" color.

**I LOVE pink!**

ATP - ROGER OUT IN MADRID

Roger lost to Andy Murray in semifinal in Madrid today.
The Scot took revenge for his
defeat in the US Open final in September:
3-6, 6-3, 7-5.

“I think he's improved at his pace,” Roger said.
“First he had to grow up a little bit, become a man; I think he's taken that step well and he seems much more relaxed on the court which I think helps him. He's still fiery, which he's supposed to be. I just think you've got to give the young guys time to learn. It's so much more fun to see them learning.”

Roger sealed the first set after a break in the fourth game.
It was the first set that Murray had to drop in the tournament so far.
Murray responded and clearly took the second set 6-3.
In the decider the Scot sent down 10 aces and despite Roger saving six break points,
his opponent broke in game 11 and served it out to 7-5.

Roger is now off to Basel where he has announced that he will be competing next week.

Wait a minute...
Does Roger described fiery this way?

LOL!


But it is a nice match.
Andy played well, like a hungry man really ready for revenge.
Nadal was also out of the tournament..thanks to Gilles Simon.
I don't really care if Nadal sealed his no.1 spot up till the end of this year.
He deserve it.
Roger may have his break next year! :p

I am the first to give a comment!
hahaha!
Just want to share it.
Click here to see it!

That's my username.. marielle_18
See the Philippine Flag.. I'm not joking.. :p

After following his website for more than a year now,
being able to make it is like an "achievement".
You won't like to know how many fans follow this
site of Roger's.... hundreds.. :p

I'm sooo happy!
Roger Federer will play at Basel, Switzerland.
Despite his loss at Madrid just a few hours ago
against Andy Murray, it is still not bad.
Being at the semifinals of a Masters Series tournament is still an achievement.
Not all players are given this opportunity.
See, only 4 players are lucky. (just being positive)

I'll post the details tomorrow.
I just blogged because of my comment..haha!
Silly me! :p

Madrid Masters 08: Federer vs Del Potro

Roger beat ninth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina
6-3, 6-3 today
to reach the Madrid Masters semifinals,
where he will face Andy Murray in a
rematch of the U.S. Open final. [more]

It was an easy match..
I've watched the whole game(finally)
because the schedule was much earlier, 10pm.
I've expected a bit of a "hang-on" game for del Potro
like a tie-breaker set
because he has been playing well this season.
Oh well, I guess I expected too much.
But nevertheless, I still don't like him.. XD
I dunno why. He is not on my fave list. :p

Anyway, Federer vs Murray again.
A repeat of the US Open final.
Lucky Murray, now world's no.4
Federer will win it. I believe.
Now, I'm looking forward for a Federer-Nadal final match.
I'm a bit too advanced,isn't it?..hehe.

GO ROOOOGGGEEER!! (.^__^.)

PS: I'm pretty sure I can't watch the 7:30pm live telecast game
of Roger's semifinal match.. *sniff!*

Madrid Masters: Round 3 Federer vs. Tsonga - AWESOME!

Federer won today in a fantastic,
and classy tennis game masterpiece
within one hour, 6-4, 6-1 (yup, a breadstick!)

Don't ask me if I've watched it live or not..haha!

Poor Tsonga, can't handle his own game.
He started out pretty well, though.
Thanks to Tsonga's double fault serves.. :p

Roger is happy... he said it's like he has spring on his foot..
Next up will be Juan Martin del Potro..
ugggh! I don't like this guy.

I've found this video clip..
AMAZING RALLY for today's match.
See for yourself..

One commentator made a mistake live.
Though I won't contradict him..
he said bravo to the world no.1 (though Federer is now world no.2)
hahaha!
Yeah, I knew it...
Roger is still the best tennis player on earth. :p

Federer vs Stepanek

Roger won today!
It's his 1st game ever since having a 5 week break
after his 5th straight win at the US Open.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen the whole match..
I'm a sleepy head kasi.
As simple as that.

Thank God for the rf website and the forum,
I am able to gather pics and some video links.
(.^__^.)
Next up will be Tsonga.. and unofrtunately,
it is the same schedule.. 8pm local time (Madrid)
which means 2am Philippine time.
Me don't like it! X(
Anyway, I'll try to wake up. --,)

ATP - ROGER BACK IN STYLE

Roger returned from his five-week break to beat
Radek Stepanek (ATP 30), 6-3, 7-6 (6),8
in the second round of the Madrid Masters.

"I think I moved with a spring in my step. My feeling out there was positive and confident which is a good feeling to have in the first match which tends to be very tricky,"
Roger said after the match.

wiiieeee! :p

NOT WITH YOU

I'd give anything,
go anywhere when it comes to your love,
but the question that's burning in my heart is whether it's strong enough.
If you want me to stay, there's something we gotta do.
Honesty is a must,
I've got to trust
if I'm not with you
Hey

[chorus]
Ain't nowhere I belong,
if I'm not with you
Ain't no place I call home,
if I'm not with you
constantly on the phone,
if I'm not with you
if I'm not with you
if I'm not with you
Don't know if I can trust
if I'm not with with you
all of these questions cause
if I'm not with you
I hope your expecting this
if I'm not with you
if I'm not with you baby

and I love it when its just the 2 of laying around.
and I cant help,
I want u to myself,
the feelings getting stronger now,
so I hope you feel the way I feel
Honesty is a must,
I've got to trust,
If I'm not with you

[chorus]

I hope your not disrespecting me,
I'm hoping I'm everything u need
and that all u wish for,
you'll find in me.
It's the way that you show,
show you care,
show that you love.
When your not with me,
ain't nowhere that I belong.

This message was passed to me last week
by my classmate thru text.
Don't know if it is true because I wasn't able to catch
some news about it upto now.

Or maybe, I was just a bit pre-occupied or something.
Oh well, here it is... worth sharing. :)

"Coming October 17,2008 the sun will rise continuously for 36 hours (1.5 days).
During this time, the US countries will be dark for 1.5 days.
It will convert 3 days into 2 big days.
It will happen once in 2400 years.
We're lucky to see this.
This is a global phenomenon.."

-Courtesy of CNN/BBC News-

I honestly don't know if this text message is credible.
But there's nothing wrong if we anticipate some phenomenon like this to happen, isn't it?
October 17 will come no matter what.
Let's just wait.
If it didn't happen.. we will lose nothing.
(.^__^.)

Sembreak, here I come!

After this very devastating
HELL WEEK!
The long wait is, indeed, very over. (pinch myself)
Its the start of our semestral break!
Be like a bum for 3 weeks.
Rest like there's no tomorrow..
watch TV "want-to-sawa"!
surf the internet and update blog like you've never have.
haha!

I just don't want to see any paper that will remind me of the past
finals examinations that I've had.
If you can just see my cabinet..
like it's gonna explode because of LOTS and LOTS of papers.
My professors are 100% NOT nature lovers.. *teehee*
I just threw all those papers in the cabinet
and maybe..
I'll just fix it next week..
when I have recovered.

Even though I don't want to say anything anymore
about the "just gone" hell week
I'll give a sneaky about it:
Monday went very well!
Tuesday is our defense and reporting day which is one of those days that I want to forget.
Wednesday is quite okay,
Thursday is a "head-ache day"
Friday is a "devastating and shocking day"
Saturday is a so-so / very glad that exams is over day.

That's it..
I don't want to tell more about it.
Past is past... let's move on!

Now, the million dollar question is:
Will I pass all my exams.. and my grades?
Of course I will..
My only BIG problem is finance.
Kainis na finance 101 yan... basic na nga, ginagawa pang complex.
Kaya nga 101 eh.. ibig sabihin basic.
Eh parang nagugulo lang ako eh.
Eto pa yung pinaka-kinakabahan kong grade.
Kamusta naman yun? Hinde ko naman major subject.. pinoproblema ko.
Eh kasi naman yun lang ang tanging exam na halos naging madam auring ako.
huhu..
waaah!
Lord, have mercy!

I might end here..
I'll update this blog from time to time from now on.
See you soon!
(.^__^.)
