Why Not Just Speak in Filipino?

Janina San Miguel would have looked smarter if she just spoke in Filipino. Then again, this is more entertaining. She also wouldn’t have made it to the list of YouTube most viewed videos and people wouldn’t have talked about her. Good for her!

Playing With Miho Seiki

Guess who was at tennis school today? Miho Seiki! Didn’t ring a bell? Check her WTA profile site. We were given the chance to play some points against her. At first, I found it hard to adjust to her serve mostly because I was more used to weaker serves from my fellow-intermediate level players. Later…

Quickie Tennis for Gaijins

Foreigners new to Tokyo find it very hard to find courts to play tennis and people to play tennis with. There is a solution – Tokyo Gaijins!

You can now use blogger in Filipino!  As always it may need getting used to but once you’re used to it, it’s pretty cool to use. 😀

Gaora and the WTA

Gaora seems to be showing more women’s tennis than men’s tennis. I get the feeling they have a special deal with the WTA and not with the ATP.

iBank 3 is Out!

iBank 3 is Out! For a long time when I was still a Windows user, I’ve used Microsoft Money to manage my finances but since moving to the Mac, I found it hard looking for a Mac alternative to Money. It’s very nice and it blends very well with the whole Mac experience — meaning…

Secrets of Magibon

Magibon is a *very* famous YouTuber, who does nothing but stare at her camera but still gets thousands and millions of viewers. I think she’s American pretending to be a Japanese doing cutesy Japanese “stuff”. Then, there is this well-crafted and EXTREMELY funny video created by allnamestaken14 trying to add audio to Magibon’s stares. It’s…

Roddick Humbles Nishikori

Kei Nishikori beat James Blake, Number 2 in the US, to win a Florida Tournament. Today, he was against Andy Roddick, Number 1 in the US, in a San Jose Tournament. Unfortunately, he lost 6-2 6-4. He’s just 18. He has many many years ahead of him.

Pinay Raped in Okinawa

Found in the news that there is a case of a US military man raping a Filipino lady in Okinawa, Japan.

Kei Nishikori: Hope of Japan

For a long time, Takao Suzuki has been Japan’s best male tennis player but the other day, a new guy has appeared and won his first ATP Title — the first by a Japanese in nearly 16 (!) years. His name is Kei Nishikori. He’s 18 years old and I’m sure Japan’s tennis community is…
