My first tennis grand slam. And so we did our pilgrimage. Three days of tennis matches in the cold, hot, unpredictable weather of Melbourne.First match: Serena Williams def Shuai Peng...and the list of matches we watched at Rod Laver Arena are as follows:
- Victoria Azarenka def Amelie Mauresmo
- Jo-Wilfred Tsonga def Dudi Sela
- Elena Dementieva def Samantha Stosur
- Rafael Nadal def Tommy Haas
- Dinara Safina def Alize Cornet
- Roger Federer def Tomas Berdych
- Jelena Dokic def Alisa Kleybanova
- Novak Djokovic def Marcos Baghdatis
- Serena Williams def Victoria Azarenka
- Rafael Nadal def Fernando Gonzalez
- Jo-Wilfred Tsonga def James Blake
This year, I wanted to see #1 Nadal, #2 Federer, and #3 Djokovic. On the women's side, Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic. I got to see the men but not the women.In the end, we watched the Mens Finals at Circular Quay (back in Sydney) to see Rafael Nadal win his first Australian Tennis Open.
I am happy coz I got the champion and the #1 player to sign my tennis ball.
O-le! Ole, ole ole! O-le, O-le!!!

you were at the Aussie Slams? and you didn't even bother calling home to invite us homies here in Hayward to join you? dang girl, whats up with you! is this any way to treat a past fellow undergrad? thought you were more caring and sweet than this. i'm telling other classmates about you now. you really hurt our feelings. Hayward has never been the same since you've left!! :(
you're welcome to watch anytime. if you can come here next year to watch the finals, let me know and i'll go. i still can't tell who you are. give me any hints (race, major, where i met you???) thanks! and please stop putting me down everytime you make a comment.
oh poor baby! I'm so very sorry if you perceive me as 'putting' you down, because I would never do this to someone as special, sweet, cute, and nice as you, Celestine! Allow me to formally apologize to you too, as I only meant to have a little fun with ya, that's all!! So, would you please find a little soft spot in your heart to forgive me? Um, well, if you were next to me right this instant, I would give you a big warm hug for forgiveness and possibly even some nice warm XOXOXOXO's on your lovely cheeks!!! I'm hurt that you're hurt by this, so again, so sorry, okay hunnie?? Here's some sugar dear...muuuuahhhhhhhh!!! XOXOOXXO what a sweet and cute hottie you are! and yes, no more hints for you either!! by now, after all this talk, if I still don't stand out in your cute little head of yours, no hint will help ya anyway!!! It's like how many times did I tell you alredy that we had numerous classes together already!! Well, hum, okay, we chatted a few times near Carlos Bee Hall, okay? Remember that? let me say again, after all these years, you're even hotter and sexier than ever!!! too bad I was so shy that I couldnt ask you out way back then! Whoever your main man is today is one very lucky person. My loss yeah.....:(
are you asian? i'll probably look silly once i find out who you are. i'm sorry.
god, you're so cute! uh, do I, like, SOUND Asian to you? well, I'm Chinese okay! Nae How Ma??? Ha ha. Well, again, no need to apologize to me for your oversight and inept guesswork. and yes, you WILL look silly all right, because you DO know who I am!!! Ha ha. Man, this is so funny now. So, Celestine, could we like be regular online pen pals then? you know, like we're going steady or something, but online?? get it? well, it's only if you're not attached or have a (very lucky) significant other already in tow! haha. seriously, I really DO enjoy chatting and interacting with you. just wished again I wasn't so dog gone shy way back when I had classes with you. Yeah, those Hayward days were hard!!! Well, let me know hunnie! Muah! XOXOXOOXO :)
did you have like a filipino friend that you always hang out with?
hey Celestine! No, not just one, but many! so, you know who I am now yet?? haha. btw, I absolutely love pinoy food also! especially lupias, chicken, pork, adobo, not to mention pancit (those noodles) and that wonderful fruity drink, halo halo!! can you make these? wouldn't be surprised, given your background and multi-talents! so, by any chance, do you like Chinese food? if so, what kind?? gosh, you're such a sweet and very fine babe!!! muah, until next time! XOXOXOOXXOXO :)
i didn't hang out at carlos bee hall much. and most of my friends who lived there were japanese. sorry, i still can't remember
LML???
how disappointing once again. uh, no, I'm not LML, but really appreciate your deep thoughts and guessing here nonetheless!! I forgive you once again too because you're such a fine babe and hottie regardless. well, please keep trying okay, cuz I like I shared, when you finally guess me, you'll be totally silly!! yeah, for sure!! well, on another note, we heard about that awful fire and inferno in Australia! how many people lost their lives and property? over hundreds?? man, plain awful and sad indeed. It's like what your Prime Minister shared is true " Hell in all its fury has visited the good people of Victoria." This is so tragic and sad. Really hope you're out of harm's way, seriously, cuz you're way too nice, special, sweet, cute and sexy!!! your lost hayward PIONEER buddy!!!! XOOXOXOXO
are you gonna give me any more tips? initials? did we have common friends?
hey again! nope, no more tips for you! hee hee. and quit pretending also. like I shared, you already know who I am after everything I shared thus far. again, I was a very shy, quiet, reserve, to-myself, kind of Chinese guy, okay? so, no, I really didn't socialize much with anyone at Hayward. But, yeah, while I was quiet and reserved, I of course noticed you in all my classes. At first I didn't think much of you. But then, I had you in more and more classes and I don't know. It's like your presence finally got my attention, but in a very positive way. Now, it's like I keep pinching myself that I didn't like asked you out or be part of your study group or something!! darn it! yeah, my loss again. Celestine, you're so very beautiful, smart, sexy and cute and yet down to earth and easy going. I even told my mother about you!!! Well, too late now. BEST REGARDS
i knew a chinese guy that liked me. i even took a picture with him during his graduation. was that you?
how depressing, Celestine! see what I mean now? evidently, there are other guys who also have the hots for ya! and no, sadly, that wasn't me. but man, I wish it was of course! then, I probably would have enough guts to like ask you out for dim sum or something in Hayward or Oakland! hee hee. so, you never answer my question yet. are you already spoken for? am I wasting my time just fantasizing about you (which I do a lot of course...hee hee). can we be online buddies, assuming you're free that is? Well? Gosh Celestine, you're such a nice catch and beautiful and sexy woman. So, if you're already spoken for, I wouldn't be surprised in the least. but if you're still available, GOD DAMN!!! Are you kidding?? A fine hot number like you and still SINGLE????? WOW! I still can't believe I finally run across you online here of all things!! well, hopefully we can continue to at least chat online here. i love chatting with you girl! you're HOT and FUN! Well, please let me know what you think, okay? MUAH! XOOXOXOXXOOX
hello celestine!
where are you? really miss our nice online chats. well, been of course daydreaming about you and what could have been. so, have you figured me out yet? the quiet, but very nice asian guy sitting behind you in all those classes back in the ole' Pioneer days? still can't believe you haven't guessed who. okay, take care Celestine. Wow. what a sweet, sexy and cute hottie you are!! muah! XOXOXOOXOX
