A chance to meet and greet Roger Federer

I am a big fan of Roger Federer and the thought of meeting him in person always excites me. My only way to see him live is to watch one tennis grand slam or ATP tournament. I've got to have lots and lots and lots of money in order to pay for my plane fare, hotel accommodation, food, game tickets and other more expenses. I guess my savings are NOT REALLY enough as of the moment.

So when Credit Suisse gave Roger Federer's fans to meet and greet him, I never let the opportunity pass. I joined their simple contest which will yield so much of a great prize! I just voted for my favourite ending of Credit Suisse's ad campaign which features Roger Federer, and viola! I got the chance to win a meet and greet in LONDON (which includes business class flight, and accommodation in a top-class hotel.) 

OMG! I'll be the happiest girl in the world if I win this. I won't be asking for anything if this precious prize will be given to me. I've been a good girl this year and hopefully Santa will give me a gift that I truly deserve. This is the gift that I am eyeing on. London trip, Roger Federer meet and greet... what more can I ask for. :)

And by the way, here's the video that I voted for! :) Hope they'll pick this one! :)

Most Attractive Man in the history of Wimbledon

I just wanna say that I hate myself for not being able to vote for the "Most Attractive Man in the history of Wimbledon". I just saw this now in one of the updates of the official Wimbledon facebook page tonight:

Im glad Roger Federer made it. I mean, let's face it. Roger Federer is indeed the hottest man in tennis history. Everything about him is "Drop Dead Gorgeous". :)

And as you notice, I voted for Maria Sharapova as the hottest woman in Wimbledon Tennis history. She's the best among them all and I'm pretty sure she'll win this one too.

The 3 stages of my Wimbledon dream

I've been following tennis for quite some time now (exactly 5 years since my eyes first met Andy Roddick, then Roger Federer), and since them I've got this dream to watch Wimbledon, live and in the flesh. 

Everytime I see the lawn of Wimbledon, I'm really left awed with all the wonders I felt everytime I stare at it. It's like when I see it, I wanna hug it, kiss it and lay my back on it for the rest of my life.  I just want the lawn at Wimbledon where all the tennis athletes stepped on it, made wonders and received so much achievement in the world of Tennis. 


So here's my 3 stages of Wimbledon dream. I've got Plan A, B and C just in case the first one won't push through. I'm really desperate to watch a match at Wimbledon, doesn't matter if its only in the first round. Well, of course I know that championships final match will cost a lot of money for the price of one ticket, (I heard that at French Open alone, the Federer-Nadal 2011 finals game ticket costs a whopping P98,000 each. O_O) but I'll be able to watch one as soon as I win the lotto. hahaha!


And since I am the biggest fan of Roger Federer, as how I consider myself, my dreams are focused on him as well.

The 3 stages of my Wimbledon Dream:

1. To be able to play with Roger Federer on Wimbledon Tennis lawn
- Okay, so this sound super impossible and superficial. First, I am a girl. How can I be able to play with Roger Federer on court? Unless it is only a practice game or one of my friend happens to be his friend and then our common friend bridged us in order to let my dream come true. Sounds a little too impossible, right? But it is really one of my dreams. I want Roger Federer to teach me how to play tennis well. :) Or, I can have my son or daughter be trained by Federer. Yes, that's how I'm so desperate with my first dream - it has also Plan A, B and C. haha!


2. To be able to watch Roger Federer play a match at Wimbledon
- So this means I have to fly now or within 2 to 3 years before he finally retires. No ones been announcing the retirement of Roger Federer yet, but it seems like the end of his tennis career is nearing. The problem is, I don't have any money yet for my plane tickets to England and for the match tickets. I can use the credit card of my Mother and suffer the consequences of being killed. I felt really sad, but I guess this is not yet the right time to watch Federer play in one of his matches. But everything may change if ever I win the LOTTO. Oh dear God.


3. To be able to watch at Wimbledon, even if Roger Federer isn't playing anymore.
-Okay, so I won't be choosy anymore. I just wanna be at Wimbledon, sitting at one of its benches and cheering with the crowd whoever are the players by that time. Be it Nadal, Djokovic, Murray or even the daughter of Roger. :))  I just want it soo badly. I want to feel the spirit of the game when you're watching live. I bet it will be the most treasured feeling in the world for a tennis fan like me. :)


Dream, dreams, dreams. When will one of them come true? If one of them happens, Im gonna cry big time and will be the happiest woman for a YEAR, not just for a DAY. It will make me speechless and will keep me speaking in tennis tongue for the rest of my life. :D

ROGER FEDERER WINS ATP WORLD TOUR FINALS!

Roger Federer defeated Rafael Nadal in 3 sets

6-3, 3-6, 6-1

in London today!

An early Christmas gift for Federer fans like me! ♥

One of the reasons to look forward for 2011 Tennis year!
Roger Federer is the Greatest Tennis Player of all time!

FEDERER-SODERLING FINALS
My Dream French Open Finals!

So, this is what the
Tennis World
Tennis Fanatics
Tennis Addicts
Tennis Players
and all
Tennis Followers
have been waiting for!
The long wait is finally over, 2 weeks has passed and the
Finals for the French Open 2009 will happen today!
Yup, TODAY it is!

Just like any others,
I am 100% excited, over my dead body! LOL!
Just picture this...
A French Open Final without the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal.
A French Open Final, where Roger Federer is bidding for his 14th Grand Slam Title
and
A French Open Final where Robin Soderling, a 1st timer to land on a Grand Slam Final.. the one who defeated pants-tugging Rafa on a 5-set 4th round match.
(Im sorry for Rafa fans, that's the truth!)

Analyzing this:
Roger Federer, a "veteran" on a Finals match situation
battling with
Robin Soderling, an "amateur" on a Finals match situation.
So, who will have the upper hand, the advantage?
Answer?
ROGER FEDERER.

But don't get me wrong...
I also like Soderling.
Honestly speaking, he is my new favorite male tennis player
next to Roger Federer.
But at this time, I want Federer to get hold of that French Open trophy.
All tennis fans for sure wants him to win, for the 1st time after 4 attempts!
I am pretty sure even the Nadal fans would like Federer to win this one.
Well, not all.. maybe some.

This is the year!

As what I have read from one tennis fan analyst:
For the past 4 years, the French Open winner has always been the World's no.2
Who is the World's no.2 now?
No doubt: Roger Federer.

Federer - French Open - Fourteenth Grand Slam Title!

This is the year!
Go get it!

2nd Rant!!!!

Uso ang ranting ngayon, better make the most out of it since
I’m feeling very *&$^”*&$^ right now!
Some may think na sobrang babaw lang ira-rant ko.
Its about rf.com, in particular our Filipino thread.
Know why?
Cause there’s someone.. or should I say a group of people
(just asking that particular person to be there representative)
to voice out something that they aren’t liking in the new thread culture.
Imagine, sa website nalang and sa forums, may conflict pa?
Ano ba yan…
Actually, the first time I’ve read the post of this particular person,
may na-sense na agad akong something fishy.
Parang in a way “nagpaparinig”…
what the!!

Ito lang masasabi ko..
Old ones or New Ones… pare-pareho lang lahat!
What matters that most are those staying acting alive and active… compare to those who are dormant for a while and come back like they are
“Kings and Queens”
of a particular place, or should I say, of a particular forum thread.
If you can’t adapt with the current trend..
better leave than reclaiming something as if they own it.
Nakakahiya..
Pitiful!

After a couple of hours, after that very disheartening tennis match I’ve seen.. I can’t seem to forget about it.
Can’t help it..
can’t help to be teary eyed up until now when scenes
are flashed back on my mind.

Look at me now.. Im here at home, choosing to skip school
rather than be at school and be half blissful and half deflated.
At least now, I can be focused here in front of our computer
and read articles and view pics even though it’s still hard to bear.

I may sound drastic.. but that’s how I feel. Walang pakielaman…
I have my own likes and passion. Mind your own.

Arrgghh!!!!!!
I hope this week ends fast..
or I hope I can be focused on other things..

Kung ano pa naman yung nagpapasaya sa akin.. saka ngayon pa nawala.
Ano bang life ito.
When Im happy, Im happy BIG TIME!
But when Im feeling alone , it happens BIG TIME also..
tipong sabay-sabay… no one’s left with me.

Kahit tennis match hindi pa nakisama.

I hate how much I love and watch tennis..
Especially during moments like this.
>.<

February 1, 2009

How can I be happy with the start of the month
if these pictures

Roger Federer's 2008

Pictures speak a Thousand Words...

The Masters Cup Shanghai, China 2008

If last year I've blogged about it in
this manner..
[CLICK HERE!]

Now, let me do it this way!

The Top 8 Tennis Players of the World
who will play for the Tennis Masters Cup in China 2008

ROGER FEDERER (World no.2)

NOVAK DJOKOVIC (World no.3)

ANDY MURRAY (World no.4)

**errr..never mind his hair, its a cartoon sketch so let art go wild!** :p

NIKOLAY DAVYDENKO (World no.5)

ANDY RODDICK (World no.6)

JO-WILFRED TSONGA (World no.7)

JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO (World no. 8)

GILLES SIMON (World no.9)

**If you are wondering why the last player is ranked as no.9 when this tournament only allows the top 8 players, its because Rafael Nadal just withdrew from here because of a knee injury.
Lucky Simon! :p

The fight for the title will start on Monday, Nov. 10
Just soo happy that China has the same timezone with Philippines,
so no more problematic sleepless nights. (.^__^.)

Kudos to the one who made this sketch, he did great!

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! (.^__^.)

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
