Had come home from watching hancock last night only to find the fed all bothered and flustered by nadal's brute strength.  Didn't get to watch it in its entirety because I was the one getting bothered and flustered by the mere thought of the fed losing. (hahaha, affected daw o!)

Call me a fed fan alright but I can't seem to get over the fact that Nadal is so yabang on court, pompous even, in the way he slaughters opponents by the sheer power of his steriod-induced, galdiator-like muscles. Plus, the way he looks at the person he's playing against (i.e. sharp beady eyes and fist pumping in the air) just does not float my boat in any way. Compared with the sheer grace of movement that is Federer, Nadal is bereft of class, if you ask me. though to give credit to the guy, he is a predator extraordinnaire with animalistic-like power that you cannot help but be awed by his brute physical strength. Federer is a masterful tactician while Nadal is, well, a bull.

Oh, what can I say, you can't win them all, can you?

On a lighter note, I finished the draft of my thesis so I'm free to do whatever I please - ladidadida so I treated myself to a hot oil treatment and a movie dahil amoy libro na ko hahaha ....now, if only Federer won, my day would be complete.

Nah, don't wanna burst my bubble. I don't even wanna care.

Twelve grand slam titles and counting for the man they dub the Fed.  Grabe, this demigod belongs to a class all his own. I feel I must genuflect hahaha... (two more to go before breaking Sampras' record). He's violently sublime :p a real sportsman on and off-court.

But truth be told, in my heart of hearts, I was secretly rooting for Novak Djokovic - history books be damned. 

I think everything about him is endearing, hehehe :P The Sharapova and Nadal impersonations, the competitive and "never say die attitude" with aching muscles and all, and the youthful effervescence and humility that makes him so unlike Nadal - who I both like and hate because of different reasons. Let's just say I enjoy the thought of him creaming his opponent yet getting creamed at the same time.

I like this picture of Djokovic - it's so fiery and whimsical all at once.
