Her never-wavering dream is to become an actress...no kidding. A DVD addict, her favorite shopping places are Quiapo and Divisoria. She also recently discovered St. Francis Square, where she now shops for clothes, shoes, and anything Hello Kitty. Currently dreaming of owning an PlayStation PortableiTouch, pink Moto Razr Okwap i885, a portable DVD player, and the black pink DS Lite. She salivates everytime she sees the still-to-be-released recently-released Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.

The 2008 Australian Open, The 2008 French Open, Rafel Nadal, etc...

2008 Australian Open

The 2008 Australian Open was, in one word, interesting. For one, the men's singles finals was devoid of a Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal - a first since 2005. Next, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a number 38 tennis player (and Congolese...he probably was the first - somebody correct me if I'm wrong), gave a surprise performance, overtaking #14 seed Mikhail Youzhny, #9 seed Andy Murray, #8 seed Richard Gasquet, and - it hurts really to reminisce this *weeps* - #2 seed Rafael Nadal to reach the finals. The finals is another interesting moment: Novak Đjoković becomes the first Serbian player to win a Grand Slam singles titles (not just an Australian Open title, mind you). And oh yeah, Đjoković is the first player since 2004 to beat Roger Federer in straight sets.

The women's singles finals was also a noteworthy event. Although the crowd favourite Maria Sharapova won, it was still pretty much historical. Sharapova (whom I super love, BTW) became the first Russian woman to become a champion in the Aussie Open. And Ana Ivanovic giving a good fight also made the women's finals an engaging watch.

Now the Australian Open has wrapped up. And the next Grand Slam event, the Roland Garros Tournament a.k.a. French Open, won't happen until May 25. I'm excited - I expect my favourite (Rafa Nadal, duh?) to make a killing.

Speaking of Rafa, I read somewhere that the next tennis event he'll be participating in is the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships. Does anybody know if this is being shown in the Philippines?

I can't wait for May 25!!!


EDIT: My bad. Rafa's next tourney after the Australian Open will not be the Dubai Tennis Championships but Rotterdam/ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament. Same question, will this be shown in the Philippines?! (I doubt it. Bummer.)
