Roland Garros

I couldn’t not talk about Roland Garros, the French Grand Slam in tennis. This is one of the biggest tennis championships in the world. It has already begun, but it’s not over yet. We’re actually in the quarterfinals of this year’s version.

One of the most expected games is Moya versus Nadal for two main reasons. First, they are the only two former Roland Garros champions left in the men’s field. And last but not least, both are from Mallorca, in Spain, and Moya were some kind of a mentor to Nadal, since he’s 10 years older than him. Everyone is expecting to see who wins: the teacher, or the pupil. I think it will really be a great game.

There are already two quarterfinals over: Federer (the world’s number one in the ranking) won over Tommy Robredo, and Davidenko won his match against Cañas.

Other than the spanish duel, we have in the last quarterfinal Dokovic and Andreev, playing for one spot in the semifinals.

Messi shows his “Maradona’s”skills

April 18th, Barcelona played against Getafe in the Copa del Rey and ended by having an easy game that they won by 5-2.

But who really stole the show was Lionel Messi, Barcelona’s player number 19 made a goal à la Maradna, running half of the field and dribbling allhisadversaries, till the area, dribbled the keeper and made a spectacular goal!
People are already calling him the next Maradona, because of his ability and certainly, because his goal was very similar to Maradona’s one against England in the 1986 World Cup.
(To see both goals click here)
Will he really be the next soccer idol?
We sure hope so for world soccer’s sake.

Miami-Sony Ericsson Open 2007

World number one, Roger Federer won over the Spanish Nicolas Almagro, in straight sets, 7-5 6-3, this Monday. With this victory, Federer moved closer to a Sony Ericsson Open hat trick.

Federer recovers from the shock on Indian Wells’ second round loss and tries to become the first player to win three consecutives titles in the Miami’s Master Series, since the retired Andre Agassi.

Almagro had a good first set, almost reaching a tiebreak with the Swiss player, but, with 6-5, his double-fault, gave to Federer the break and the first set.

Angry, and slamming his racquet, the Spansih player wasn’t a threat to Roger anymore, who easily finished the game with a 2-0 win. Federer seamed to be very happy with his performance while advancing to the Fourth round at the Sony Ericsson Open, and improving his season record to 14-1.

In other results, the Russian Davydenko was surprised by the American Amer Delic, with a 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 loss, as Tommy Robredo advances to nest round.

In women’s play, the Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne advanced to quarter-finals with an easy 6-3 6-2 win over Russia’s Vera Zvonareva, guaranteeing the first spot on the raking, that she took last week from Maria Sharapova, which by the way, won as well.

The world number one’s compatriot Kim Clijsters, on the other hand, lost to Li Na, from China, by 4-6 6-4 6-2.

 That’s how goes the Sonic Ericsson Open 2007 for now. Keep an eye on it. For more information, click here.

Nata Village needs help!

In a post I saw in Katie’s blogI read something that got my attention: “every five steps you take a person dies.” That’s really huge, imagine how many people die every day if we consider that. And lots of those people are african people, the live in extreme poverty and have absolutly nothing to hang on in there. In the same post I read, it said that in Nata Village in Africa, some people have never bought a toy… that’s just awful, can you imagine yourself happy if you haven’t had any toys in your childhood? I can’t. So let’s donate money or toys to Nata Village so we could at least, help a little bit those people that die every five steps you take.

Pictures to imortalize moments of life…

I would love to take more pictures of everything, my friends, what I do, where I go, my routine, my house, even the sky (specially sunsets), so I could imortalize the things I lived and the things I will one day forget.

How nice would it be to write a book?

I’d like to write a book sometime, but a book different from others, that wouldn’t tell any story but where I would write about all th things I bielieve, and my thoughts, and what i learned in life. It wouldn’t be a book for everybody but mostely for me, so I could let it all out, and see who and what I really am.

I need to read more books!!

I want and I need to read more books, there are many of the Agatha Christie books I bought that I haven’t read yet, and I really like tat kind of book. There are also books my friends talk about, some about philosophies of life, others about drugged people lives, also biographies about people that were in the war, and so much more! It would be great if I read more books, and it would also help me with my other thing to do: watch less television, hahahahaha!!

Television sucks the life out of people

I must watch less television because it sucks the life out of me, I don’t do things that I’d probably enjoy more if i weren’t watching that TV show that I say I like so much. I could do much more interesting things instead of watching the damn TV, but it has something that I can’t describe, that won’t let me turn it off. So there’s a thing most people should do: don’t let the TV suck the life out of you (and me) no matter what.

Why I want to go to Singapore

I really want to go visit Singapore. I don’t really know why, but I think it should be the influence of my father telling me stories about this place. I imagine Singapore as a really rich and clean city, where everyone is safe, where ther’s not so much violence. I hope it’s all that, because I don’t want to be disappointed the day I actually visit it.

The first time I went to Ibiza

The first time i went to Ibiza, I was very young, I think I had about 13 years old and I couldn’t enjoy the famous night clubs and discos that are there. I stayed in a Club Med and I went to vosot the islands and the absolutely wonderful beaches! But I want to go there again to live the excitement of the late parties, and all that.

But even those that go there for living in the nightime sould visit the beaches, because there are some of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen.
