23/09/09 - sydney turns red

(i know its a late post... but still, its history...)

an amazing red orangy glow from my window woke me up yesterday,
without knowing what it was, i was amazed, looks really cool,
its like an orange fog covering the whole city,
awesome!!!

that was me, amazed, until i get to my car!
silver craig get tanned!!!
news last night said it will be raining and expect strong winds,
turned the radio on and heard jakie o saying,
dust storm hit sydney at dawn...
that's it!!!

it was of course all over the news,
its a red day for sydney!!!
then at around midday, it started to clear,
this is much better, thank god!















and today, is another amazing day,
sunny and blue!!!

bike bike bike

finally, got one!!!

happy!!!

us open

my tennis is just horrible...i can serve... but that's it, end of story.

watching the tennis heroes play just amazes me... how can they serve so fast, how can they run so quick, how can they stay in the game for hours...!!!

watching federer play is another story - it hits my heart!

corny no, pero seryoso! everytime he plays, i think of him not just as the tennis player but the roger he is! everyone knows things he do outside of tennis!

not only does he has so much talent and skill, he has so much humility that radiates in every game...

i call him the ultimate!!!

lord please, sana manalo cya sa US open... (the game is on while im typing this, and now i cant work!!!)

p.s. me bago akong papa sa open... gonzales out, del potro in (guapo!!!)... but of course, just next to the ultimate! haha

* * *
update: talo c ultimate... and im sad... very sad... very very sad...

sabi nga nya: "I tried everything, it din't work. It was tough luck today, but Juan Martin played great. He hung in there and gave himself chances, and in the end was the better man."

still love the humility... he is still the man!!!

ah, uminit daw ang ulo nya on the 5th set, cant wait to watch, its a bit out of character, but im sure its not that big deal...

quadbiking in glenworth valley

went quadbiking in glenworth valley last saturday with friends...

so much fun!!! i did enjoy it!!! not too sure if my friends enjoy it, but i definitely did haha!!!

definitely satisfied my need for speed...

the first 10 min... that is getting to the track is really slow... everyone has to be in a single line following the guide... at that point, i told myself, the next hour will be very boring... but as soon as we get to the track... it was time to get crazy... saya ko!!!

will i do it again?.... YES! but has to be in a different track, next level please...

bisikleta

matagal ko na tong gustong gawin... ang mag-bisikleta, and finally, after 33 months in Sydney, i had my first bike ride yesterday... it was so much fun!!! the last time i went biking was sometime when i was in college and my nieces/nephews visited me in baguio and we went to burnham park... so that was ages ago!!! i was so worried that i might have already lost my balance... but, but, but, pagsampa ko pa lang sa bike, yes, i felt na kaya ko to, and yes, kinaya ko nga... went around bicentennial park in sydney olympic park... i love the bike i rented, and thanks to manong (pinoy ung nasa bike hire) for teaching me how to use that bike and for his tips about the gears... pati pala bike me gears din and they are indeed so helpful esp if its uphill!!!

rondz, next weekend ulit!!! haha bili na tayo ng bike haha...

this is it!!!

Decided its time for me to do what i need to do...
It feels great!!!
Painful, but great!!!
You can do it Ghie!!!
Go! Go! Go!

rain

its just thursday morning and i feel like its already friday! Its raining so hard, and while its pouring so badly, the bus' windshield is going faster and faster with a very annoying noise... hey driver, something's obviously wrong, i said... but just in my brain, eeh, no guts to say outloud...

im not a fan of the rain, it brings out even the most hidden emotion...

dunno how much longer can i hold this, naiiyak na ko, and still no sight of the familiar building... sigh...

the opera house

oh yah, i've been here in sydney for more than 2 years now and you'd think by now, i should be sick and tired of the opera house...

on the contrary...

it just never fails to amaze me... indeed the great mind behind it must be very proud!

no doubt, every tourist that comes to sydney will for sure have a photo with the opera, at least one!!! (obviously, i had more than 1, more than 2, more than 3, more than n....)

and how lucky are the tourists this month to see it in a different light...

i was seriously amazed by the brilliant mind behind those magnificent lights...

curious of what im referring to... go and check out photos in my fb!

btg

call this crazy, and yeah, it is...

its 3 am and im still awake, and just shed a tear, crazy!

am watching britains got talent... and i just cant stop finishing all the episodes

and then shaheen made me cry, ano ba to!!!
