Missing. Missed. Playing. Traveling. Gaining weight. Talking endlessly. Laughing. Pulling a prank. Finishing a book. Learning a language. Discovering. Sleeping 8 hours a day. Contemplating. Having fun. #

pinag-desisyonan niyang mag-lipat ng (network) ng telepono. At 'eto ang reaksyon ng mga tao: Jen: Yey! Globe ka na! Mabuhay! Miss you Mimi. Cecille: Yehess, Mimi, yehesss! Sesendan kita ng bagong promo ng Globe. Cecille: New from Globe! P20 for 20 mins para sa mahaba-habang tawagan w/ tawag 236! Dyan: Mimi! Welcome to the wonderful world of Globe! Bing: Yes dearie, may God bless you! Janet: Mimi! Mimi! May Globe ka na!! Kim: Finally! Haha. I'm so happy. Lianne: Buti naman Globe na si Camille. --Andre AM: Yey! At least ngayon mate-text na kita. Riziel: Shux Mimi! Buti naman Globe ka na. Haha! Laurice: How's your J196? I'm going bonkers with analysis and writing! Jali: ... (Mimi never receives her messages.) Elsie: Text UNLITXT20 (for 1 day) or UNLITXT40 (for 2 days) or UNLITXT80 (for 5 days) to 2870. Ali: Aba, ang lakas na mag-text ah! JM: Mimi, sa wakas!
At sila ay nabuhay nang masaya kahit kailan pagkatapos. (And they lived happily ever after.)
I don't know what's going to happen in Andy Murray and Simon Gilles' match today. I'm personally rooting for the French. I didn't get to watch Gilles versus Nadal in the semis, but more and more it looks as if Nadal gives away the smaller tournaments. Maybe to reserve his energy for the big ones? I dunno. It's odd.
But lemme just say I'm relieved Nadal and Federer didn't conquer Master's Series in Madrid. Murray and Gilles survived an awful lot of break points to give the game to the reigning seeds. Sad though, it was an opportunity for Federer to regain men's tennis top spot if only he stepped forward in Madrid last night. And I received confirmation this afternoon that the Spaniard will definitely be world #1 for the rest of the year.
Davis Cup finals in November, and maybe I'll finally get to watch the Spanish armada against Argentina (in photo). I don't know but I really feel like I'm supporting Argentina this time. It's their ground, after all, and I'm excited for Juan Martin del Potro, my contemporary. Hehe. Davis Cup is my favorite, being the biggest team event of them all, 'cause there's much love around. Nothing beats team spirit.
If I were to predict, I say Argentina WILL take the singles. Now they have to put together a team for the doubles. # -- photo from uk.eurosport.yahoo.com
Our boys are back, and I've not been watching.
I saw this today, I've been so happy and all to catch them together again. But I think, since they've grown and looked better, they could have done it without the dancing.
I don't post vids and other media 'cause they just clog up the page, but I really got to do this:
Watch Stephen in the last scene when they're all posing and still. He's had too much Red Bull.
So, to the boys, it's unbelievably hard to love you these days but I love you anyway. #
