Where do all the Hibiya line trains park? No, not in Hibiya Park (corny!) but in Minamisenju. I found some of them lined up beautifully next to each other in Minamisenju. By the way, one of those buildings is going to be my next home.
Tennis in Arakawa-ku
The search is on! As I move to my new Arakawa-ku apartment in July, I need to search for a new place to get my weekly doze of tennis. If anybody knows any good tennis school in Arakawa-ku or in neighboring wards, please let me know. I’ve already searched Google Maps for tennis courts but…
My Musical Influences
A friend asked my who my musical influences were and I decided the answer to that question deserves a whole blog in itself. I cannot readily name artists who actually influence me but I do remember the type of music or the albums I was listen to, ever since I was younger. When I was…
Farewell, my VIP!
We’ve been together for more than a year now. My weekends were never complete without my regular visits to your most welcoming doors. All the laughter and the sweat we shared together, I’ll never forget. “Good things they never last”, so goes the cliche. It was a sad day when I learned you’ll forever close…
My TV Debut
I’ve always wanted to be on TV. But not like this! Hehe.
Three Famous People
We met three famous people in Tagaytay this morning. Tim Yap, Raymond Gutierrez and KC Concepcion. 😀
Tennis Goods in Tokyo
Shopping for tennis goods in Tokyo? Victoria Wardrobe in Kanda is probably the best place to visit (unless any of my readers could prove me otherwise). They have tennis goods at the 4th floor, men’s wear at the 2nd and women’s wear at the 3rd. This week, I bought me a new set of tennis…
WiFi in Tokyo
I recently bought an iPod Touch and was excited at the idea of being able to connect it to the internet anywhere I can get a free WiFi connection. And connect I did. WiFi seems to be all over Tokyo. Walking from my apartment to the station while checking available networks, I can see several….
Graf beats Navratilova (2008)
Dream Match 2008 was a surprisingly good set of matches! Kimiko Date beats Martina Navratilova. Steffi Graf beats Navratilova. Date beats Graf. Against Navratilova, Graf won the tiebreaker 10-5. Both were playing very well. Shots, slices and serves were accurate. Navratilova was refreshingly funny. Graf was still a force to reckon with although she was…
I’m a Graphical Person
I’m a Graphical Person! In Highschool, I always preferred Geometry and Trigonometry over Arithmetic. I also took painting as my elective instead of the more popular computer programming (that was 1994). In University, I breezed through Engineering Drawing a.k.a. ES1 even though most of my friends were happy just to get a passing mark. Secretly,…
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…
