Prayers for Cory Aquino. Former President of the Philippines who's been diagnosed with colon cancer. She has been in the hospital for almost a month now due to pain and weakness in her body. Prayers for her family too as they go through this crisis.
----
Prayers for Felipe Massa, the f1 driver who fractured his skull in a high-speed accident and was in near death during qualifying round at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
He's been in coma and life support but scouring the new sites.. there's good news. The chief surgeon at AEK hospital says Massa is now breathing unassisted and moving his limbs. In addition, a drain from his skull wound was removed. (AP)
Massa's wife is six months pregnant so one prays that he recovers from the horrible crash.
Anyway what happened to Massa brought back to mind what happened more than a decade ago of Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna who died in a crash in Imola in 1994.

She's so Square
I don't get it. What's with Twilight or New Moon? I don't get the craze at all. I've never read the book nor seen the movie nor am I planning to see future ones. I mentioned to my sister that I'm not and have never been interested in the book (and movies) tied with the craziness and she said I'm baduy ( corny or square). I mean eww! It's not the type I'd read or watch. My sister who's older than I am..she likes Gossip Girls and watches The Hills (another eww for me),.I've never watched those show. She's into Rob Pattinson too. O..kay he's cute..but cute is term one uses for....err, toy dog? Ha ha. Hey I'm sorry. The cutie is not my type. Again, I just don't get it.
I prefer reading books books like How Late It Was, How Late or the Giver or The Things They Carried. Mad Men is a favorite and I think Jon Hamm is just so suave and gorgeous.
So when my sister told to me, I'm so baduy. I just nodded. Hell, it's hip to be square.

Andy Roddick should have won Wimbledon
The applause and the standing ovation really should be to Andy Roddick. What a heart breaker losing 14-16 in the fifth set.
The match just finished and what can I say Andy Roddick was the better player throughout. If anybody deserves to win.. it should have been him. But it's not to be.The sad dejected look on his face just tells it all after the last point, sauntering back to to the chair and during the presentation.. it's clearly a pain. Sadness on his face. He can't even force a smile during the photo op. He tried but can't. It's hard to even fake a smile. Losing is not something you just brush off. It's not something you just set aside and say.. ah there will be other times because... on Sunday afternoon Roddick really should have won Wimbledon.
Roger Federer rejoicing winning Wimbledon. His 15th grand slam. Disgusting though.. the patronizing words he made to Andy. The look on Roddick's face said it all.
Hats off to Andy Roddick. He is my winner.. and I think majority will agree with that.
What happened earlier watching match with Roddick losing when he really should have won.. reminded me golf and Sergio Garcia losing the Open Championship when clearly he deserved to have won. Same thing with what happened to Jean Van de Velde.
