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!

DAVID ARCHULETA and DAVID COOK Concert! - THE BEST!

Heya guys!
Its 2:45 am of Sunday, May 17th,
And I can't seem to sleep without mentioning here my experience about
David Archie and David Cook's concert
at MOA Concert Grounds.

And of course, being an avid fan of the Davids..
I can't let this one pass.
That's why I'm there to witness it LIVE!

And oh my golly!!
That concert was the best one I've seen so far!
No one can beat that show based on my standards.
Its the BEST!
Lots of people came, that's why even though we have
GOLD tickets... we're still far.

By the way,
Our 2 GOLD tickets are courtesy of Ate Rocel from
my ojt company, Philippine Graphic Publications Inc.
So, MILLIONS of Thank You's to you!


Going back,
Sadly, the GOLD tickets are not enough to have an
up close encounter with them.

But the experience, the screams and the joy that I have
experienced will be remembered for as long as I am
a fan of David Archuleta! haha!
I'm more of an Archie fan, so please understand if I'll be a little
bit biased for my stories.
Anyway, to make it more exciting.. I'm gonna make separate
stories about what I've seen from their separate performances.

Archie came in first.
So here it is:

When David Archie came on stage.. there was no any
signal that he will be coming any moment.
The only time we knew it, is that when the band
started playing the first 4 key notes of the "Touch My Hand" song,

and WOAH!

all people rushed and stood at the top of each monoblock chair,

blocking the view of those people who are at the back (SILVER and BRONZE tickets)
I can't do anything, that's why I did the same plus have
my toes tip-toed in order to see him.
I don't really like watching on the huge monitors on stage since its
like I'm only watching on TV.
I prefer seeing him on the stage, even though all I see is a
miniature David Archuleta.
But later on, I surrendered and settled on watching on the monitors instead.

As what I have said earlier, his first song is my
All TIME FAVORITE in his debut album.
I'm glad he sang Touch My Hand first.. and that made me love him more. ^.^


He is wearing a blue plaid polo shirt
(he do love plaids! I don't have any plaids as of the moments.. grrRrr)
and a pants, i dunno what the color is. haha!
Oh yeah.. he looks really cute!
Soo adorable, sooo nice!
He is just 18 years of age, but he looks young
Looks like he is just 16. ^.^

He is quite small, that's why the microphone stand
looks quite more taller than he is.. or just same as his height.
But, man!
When he enters the stage and started singing,
you can't deny that his voice, and his face, has this charm that makes you
want to just stare at him, smile, and say
DAVID! I LOVE YOU! ^.^ haha!

Of course, I screamed out loud when he came out.
Just like all the other thousand fans around me.
He sang well, he performed well
(with that cute stomping of the feet while singing)
and that stares that makes me melt.
Those eyes are beautiful!

"In a Sea of People, there is only you"


Thanks to the huge wide screen monitor for making
it much visible.

Good thing I have with me our video camcorder.
The one which has more zoom effect power
that even though you are quite far, you can still see you're target close.
I was able to spot him sooo close.
But with the spotlights overhead of him, all I could see is a
moving white man image.
But there's some instances that he became visible because he
is walking while singing.. so having him videoed is still worth it.

Here are the songs he sang, as far as I can remember:
(not in order... that's tough!)
Touch My Hand
Barriers
A Little Too Not Over You
Your Eyes Don't Lie
My Hands
Angels
A Thousand Miles
(I really love his rendition of this song.. him singing while playing the piano.. golly!)
Stand By Me
(Which is one of my personal faves of all his performances in American Idol.. with some part of
the song "Beautiful Girls" at the last part.. cute!)
Zero Gravity
To Be With You
Crush
(its his last song actually.. me melted again!)

I just don't know the other one.
Its on his bonus track that's why I don't know it.
So, more or less 12 songs, isn't it?
If you think that's quite a number of songs he sang..
you're totally wrong!
Me wants more!
All the people actually wants more.


But I think each of them should only have an hour of performance.
But nevertheless, his performance is still AWESOME!
Cute-ness is in the AIR when Archie is performing.

"What caught me?"
One thing really caught my attention while Archie was performing is that
after every performance, he has to drink water from his bottle!
I think like 2 to 3 gulps or something.
Maybe, he's just tired? or running out of voice, or breath?
Maybe both.
People around me (and even myself) laughs everytime he drinks from
his mineral water bottle. CUTE!

And by the way, before I go to my story
during David Cook's performance, here is a
Video Blog coming from David Archuleta
after their concert.
He is at the Edsa Shangri-La hotel that time.
He said that he had a blast, and that they'll be leaving anytime
this morning. awwwww... =(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcTv4vLJ054

Watch it!
He still looks adorable even after the concert.
See that he is wearing the blue plaids polo shirt that I've been talking about.

********************************************
Now, time for David Cook's performance!
Here it is:

After Archie, there's like a 15 minute break
because people have to change the band set for Cook
since his songs are more of a rock type.
So change of guitars, bass and drums, perhaps.
People around me seems like they
can't wait any longer for him to come out.
Since the preparations are taking a lot of time,
there has been a 15 minute fireworks display so that people
can enjoy and forget about the long duration before Cook comes out
of stage.

After the Fireworks display (which is nice, by the way)
Lights were turned on, and David Cook
was on stage already!
He is playing his electric guitar, looking
so HOT!
He looks handsome talaga!


Seeing him on stage gives me a new feeling, different from
what I have felt seeing Archie performing on stage.
You know what I mean?
Cook has a different charm as that of what Archie has.
Now, I understand why Cook won the AI title.
He looks different while he is there on the stage,
strumming his guitar.
He is the ultimate IDOL!
He is HOT!
Lovable... Romantic voice
and Stunning stage performace.


I don't really know the songs he sang but he did sing
Always Be My Baby
Come Back To Me
Light On
Declaration
Daily Anthem
Life on the Moon

I don't know the other songs.
I think almost all of the people are not familiar with them either.
I think those songs are from his album
before he joined American Idol.
Isn't it that he had a band before being an AI star.
So, those unfamiliar songs came from there.

Anyway, even though his songs are the rock type
and it is literally ear-deafening,
just seeing him
on stage makes it complete.
I just forgot that its rock (I don't like rock) when
he is the one singing it.
He totally rocked my world!
If you could just see and hear what
I saw and heard..
oh how I wish!

From now on... I'll stop myself from ranting why Archie
didn't won the title for the AI season 7.
David Cook deserves it!
Its different from what I saw on TV and what
I have seen live just a while ago.

What Caught ME?
What really caught my attention from Cook's performance
is that he really got close with his fans.
There was this time when he really came down from the
stage and went near to those fans who are soo eager taking
pictures of him.
He let those people have shots of him (which is really cool!)
and he even got some cameras from the fans and
took his own picture (which is soo sweet!)
I wonder how does that woman feel right now?
She has a very close picture of David Cook, plus
her camera was touched by him.
I'm gonna sleep with that camera if that
happened to me.. haha!
just kidding! ^.^

During the last strecth of the concert,
David Cook and David Archie was reunited!
They sang together,
(but the song was just like "Oh..hmmm hmmm.." from the Daily Anthem song)
and say Good-byes to their fans both.
While going out, David Cook put his arms around Archie
like he is his younger brother.
Awwww... that's nice and sweet!



So there you have it!
My own fresh from the concert experience.
I can sleep now... at least I have shared what I really wanted to share from
the time that the concert has finished.
The concert ended at around 11:15pm.
BOTH OF THEM LEFT ME WANTING FOR MORE!
Hope they could come back again here in the Philippines.

This concert left me with memories
that are worth remembering!
I am a certified David Archuleta and David Cook fan!
(.^__^.)
Will post pictures tomorrow when I see one!
Share with you again next time! ^.^

TOO FAST, I'M FURIOUS!

Hey!
Its my 4th day and here are the things
I've done for OJT!

**surfed the net whole day for contact numbers of pharmaceutical
companies, afterwards called Getz, Jannsenn Companies

**researched for the contact detials of government agencies under
DENR and afterwards called them too.

**searched for contact numbers of private/public organizations who
support Natural Family Planning.

Noticing the work that I've done, you may think
I'm a call center agent.. ???
Well, you're partly right since I've felt that way too.

Honestly, hindi ako matawag na person and very
seldom akong kumausap ng mga friends ko over the phone kaya
hindi talaga ako sanay.
In short,
I just make my face thick.. (ayaw tagalugin eh, noh?)
since the person on the other line don't have any clue who
on the other line is.
Its just the voice they know.
That's it.
Sabi nga nung isang Sir namin,
"huwag kayong matakot, hindi naman nangangain yung telepono"
ehem!


One thing just pissed me off!
Calling those government agencies takes me to hell!
I knew it from the start and Im right.
101% right!
All I can say is that most of the people whom I've talked today
from the government agencies were very rude.
AS IN!
Yung tipong tinatanong mo ng maayos, then sasagutin ka
ng pabalang.
You can explain it properly naman eh..
Not in a bitchy manner! pffft!
**end of RANT**
Mas okei parin talaga sa mga hotels and other private firms,
where the reason is too obvious naman.

If you have read my blog post yesterday,
You will know where this one will lead to.
Here's my latest scoop!
One of my friends keep on bugging me about this..
So, better read it friend!

"HE" told us (with my friend, take note) if we are free
tomorrow and if we can hang out with them.
Im a bit shocked because I wasn't expecting this soo soon!
Lots of thoughts raged inside my mind.
All BOYS hang-out to ah? (excluding us, syempre)
Is this a moviehouse hang-out or a bar hang-out since I suppose
that all of these guys drink, and he even asked me if I drink..
which he doubted later on if I do.
(Why ask if he knows the answer.. )

At first... Im quiet.
That's my attitude kasi eh.
I kept quiet since I don't want to say NO, nor to say YES at once.
I look at all angles first, and then the possibilities.
I decide at the last minute.
With my silence, this guy said to me na baka daw may date ako tomorrow,
which I replied with a..

haha, just kidding.
In emoticons, like this siguro:

haha!
He asked if we can watch a movie
"The Fast and the Furious 4" with them and promised na
hindi naman kami gagabihin.
My friend asked if saan ba yung place, he replied naman na it's near lang..
and later on joked that Market Market is an option.
Hmph! I've never been to Market Market ever..
so I guess, this place is far.

He kept on asking me if I'll be available, and finally..
I've replied..
"We'll see."

If you know me wholeheartedly, you will know what that catch phrase means.
Will explain tomorrow, kasi for sure may mangyayari pa.
Hhmmmm... are you getting a bit confused?
Where on earth do I find this guy and my friend when for the whole
day I'm at the office?
haha!
THINK!

APRIL FOOLS... nyak nyak!

I have to confess something...


I QUIT!!!

I can't take it any longer that's why I QUIT!
I have to find a new company...
something happened and this should not be taken for granted...


HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!

haha!
(haay.. corny!)

It's April 1 and its April Fool's Day! I hope I got someone there because it a
lame form of foolishness and sillyness from me, I know.

As for my 3rd day, I arrived late at PGPI (Philippine Graphic Publications Inc.
just in case some still don't know) since i have to finish some task and requirements
for my part-time job . I think I came at around 10:30 am
that's why I ended up with a red ink on my time card which signifies
L-A-T-E
Sana pala naghalf day nalang ako...

To enumerate the things I've done for today:

**continued research for the contact details of city mayors
which got deleted afterwards (**awwwts, stupidity!)
**Put Philippine Graphic Mags (est. 200pcs) which are complimentary copies addressed to
senators and members of the House of Representatives here in the Philippines.
(wow, ikaw ang bigatin! )
**put Cook Magazines inside plastics (est. 300pcs) and more to
go tomorrow.
**continued calling contacts and inquiry about the marketing managers
of high-end hotels and resorts in Bulacan.

So, majority of the work today involves putting magazines inside plastics.
Okei lang naman... never ko pa nagawa yun eh, pang 2nd time
ko na ngayon..hehe!
I can't imagine kung pano kahirap yung ginagawa ni Ate pag
mag-isa lang siya nagbabalot ng magazines sa plastics..
nakakabagot pag ganon ng ganon.. weekly and monthly pa naman
dumadating yung mga mags.
According to her, we are a big help.

So, while doing this, nagkwento naman si Ate about here experience with the company
where she works for 3 years already, i think,.
We've learned and discovered a lot!
As in A LOT!
It's like the history and the image of the company
plus the past wars/misunderstandings that had happened.

Its really cool and funny..haha!
And since most of them are confidential, I'll won't blab it here.


Moving on, I have a little secret to share.
Before the 2nd sem ended and the time when most of
my classmates are stressed and panicked for our OJT,
most of them are joking that one of the main purpose of this OJT is to find a
prospect.
Prospect... as in a guy, or a girl, new special someone..
like those stuffs.
I just laughed at them!
since that isn't my purpose for this OJT. (heller?!)
Let's just say its on the 5th of my list. LOL!
I admit that Im loveless ever since the Chinese New Year
(yeah... thanks for a new revelation exposed... oh, wag masyado magfeeling,
hindi ikaw yun.. )
and its a bit sad...
kasi.. yung nga.
That's why I don't think of looking for a new one.
Mahirap kasi eh.. wala sa schedule ko. ^.^
And I guess solving financial crisis and a love problem
isn't a good combination, ayt?
Just kidding... ^.^

I think I just need an inspiration on every place
kasi its been a trend din for me eh.
I don't know if its just a psychological factor or
it just happens..
like "poof!" taran!
There he is.. a new specimen!
arrrghhh...
then "poof" again..
It's GONE.
That's what we call a very thumb rising
Infatuation.
Its normal, right? who doesn't feel one?

Anywhoo, enough of this..
yun na nga... I think wala namang ganon sa ojt company ko
and I'm pretty sure I can survive without an inspiration..kasi I've found a new
one somewhere. (sus!)
Im gonna share it.

Girl Talk: BOYS KEEP OUT!

You may think I think too much..
but look, Im a girl.. and I can sense things if that is meant to be felt, right?
It may be too early, and I might go wrong with this hunch, but don't worry,
I'll keep you posted about everything that will happen or might happen soon.

Actually, he lookes similar with a guy from my past
which I, all of a sudden stopped texting, replying or even looking at him
straight to the eye whenever we cross paths for 3 years already.
He didn't became "someone special"
Just like what Ive said earlier..
things just happen like "POOF!"
And you may say Im too rude because of banning myself from this person.
Yeah I am.. because this person deserves it.
Its just like he no longer existed in my life.
And I to him.

So, this new guy looks like him.
(haay.. malas naman! )
Same attitude, same charm, same ways.
same color???!
mostly SAME! (damn!)
Okay.. so, this guy keeps on dropping some lines in order to get my attention.
He is 2 to 4 years older than me (just a mere calculation)
and he charms me with his smile and humor.
And I hate it.. cause I don't want it.. but I happen to smile when I see it.
yeah.. magulo.. just read on.
But don't get me wrong ha..
Im not yet falling.. too far from that pa as of now. (duh!)
Its just that I noticed him, and that's a small problem.
He gave lots of compliments since the day I saw him,
like the "bolero" type of guy.
and I bet you don't wanna read his pick-up lines.. ]
But its funny... really!
Yeah.. its Funny.

And for the last stretch,
merong nagwowork sa PGPI na ka-name ng **** ko dati..
kaya lang its with a "K" and not with a "C"
You know who you are.
If ever you felt it, just ignore it

CIAO!
