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…
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! Ricky (the organizer) makes tennis court reservations, sends out an email asking who would like to participate. All you have to do is reply to his email, and…
Blogger Now In Filipino!
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. Not that I’m complaining especially when they’re showing Sharapova or Ivanovic but once in a while, I would also like to watch the greatest player the world…
David Archuleta – Imagine
This kid is gonna make it big. Really really big. I would have posted my own rendition but on second thoughts, I wouldn’t want to steal the spotlight from him. He deserves all the attention. He really does.
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…
