Steffi Graf Joins World Cancer Campaign

Posted by: zarine on: January 31, 2007

Steffi Graf is best known as one of the greatest female tennis player of all time, a natural athlete whose powerful forehand and playing versatility kept her atop the Women’s Tennis Association rankings for a record-setting 377 weeks.
But Graf is fast becoming known for her work as a parent – she and husband André Agassi [...]

Some great advices (from The Purpose-Driven Life)

Posted by: zarine on: January 31, 2007

Thanks to Rosemar for these.  I don’t really forward e-mails so much. But sometimes, in the clutter of hundreds of forwarded e-mails, you’ll find treasures like this.
Don’t date because you are desperate.
Don’t marry because you are miserable.
Don’t have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don’t philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don’t associate with [...]

The Ultimate Crush Song

Posted by: zarine on: January 27, 2007

Five years ago, I was introduced by my new officemates to a singer named Sarah McLachlan. I’ve heared of Adia, and Angel (from the City of Angels soundtrack) is absolutely beautiful so I borrowed the Mirrorball CD – a live recording of her then most famous concert. When I listened to the CD, I wasn’t at all [...]

Graf-ic Details

Posted by: zarine on: January 24, 2007

I’m a sucker for well-written words. And most of the time I know when the words come from the heart.  When i read the speech by Andre Agassi, as he introduced his wife, Stefanie Graf, in the International Tennis Federation Hall of Fame, I fell in love with his words. And more so with their love story.
(Here’s one [...]

Come Sing With Me

Posted by: zarine on: January 22, 2007

I honestly don’t know why this song came up, but I just started humming while discussing some cute personality tests with my good friend and seatmate, Ning.
Just for the fun of it, try to sing this song with all the hope and abandon the child within you still has in store. I did it, and now I [...]

Desiderata

Posted by: zarine on: January 20, 2007

I first began to appreciate this poem upon reading it from a wall decoration in my aunts’ house. It has been there since we were little but only a few years ago did I really took the time to digest every word like I’m never going to read another poem again.
According to the Wikipedia, it is a [...]

Beckham in America

Posted by: zarine on: January 13, 2007

“It’s going to be total chaos,”
That’s the prediction when soccer icon David Beckham decided to move to America and play for the LA Galaxy.
Admittedly, i don’t know anything about soccer. Or football for that matter. All I know is that Beckham’s hot! And although I’m very tempted to raise one eyebrow at his choice of [...]

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Posted by: zarine on: January 12, 2007

I was telling this funny story to my housemate Fatima and she gave me my title description. I realized this one is blog worthy so I decided to publish it here.
I usually work on weekends; don’t ask why. We’ll not finish here once I start. One particular Saturday, I was contemplating on taking the day off because [...]

Waiting on the World to Change

Posted by: zarine on: January 11, 2007

it’s hard to beat the system
when we’re standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change

I’m just plain tired right now; but I don’t want to believe the lyrics of this song for one bit. I’ve done my part waiting. It’s time to try and make a difference.
it’s not that we don’t care,
we [...]

Blog Announcement

Posted by: zarine on: January 6, 2007

Because I’d like to talk about tennis too much, I decided to revive my old blog, http://racqueting.wordpress.com.
I’ll keep all the tennis talk there, save for some entries here. Later, maybe, even badminton. Ciao!
