Went home early last night to watch the Oscars. When Heath Ledger's family accepted the Best Supporting Actor award, my tears started falling. Para akong tanga, haha! Ang babaw talaga ng luha ko! Namiss ko si papa Heath. :( Biglang nag-flashback tuloy yung scene last year when I found out about his death and blogged about it. He was really gone too soon.
Anyways, kahit na malakas mambasag ng trip ang kuya ko ("pinanalo na lang si Heath kasi naawa na lang sa kanya dahil natsugi"), I strongly believe that he deserves the award. Saw the movie on its first day of showing last year and when I got home that night, I could still picture the scenes on my head. He was really credible as the Joker and his take on it was remarkable. Although I'm a big fan of Jack Nicholson, I loved Heath's version of the Joker than Jack's. :) And like what I wrote in my post Missing the Joker, seeing him on that big screen made me forget, even for just a bit, that he was already gone. :)
--------------------------------
Was not surprised that the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" won the best pic. And I wouldn't complain had "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" won. I've seen and loved both movies and even recommended them in my multiply site. Panalo talaga. :) Still, I want to watch the 3 other nominated films.
'Twas such fun to see the whole Slumdog Millionaire crew on stage, especially Ayush, the boy who portrayed the youngest Jamal Malik. I sooo love the kid. Para akong naglilihi. Aaawww, I want one of my own. Talaga lang ha?!? Sige na nga, balik na lang muna ko sa pangarap ko na i-adopt yung kid. :P
---------------------------------
Speaking of adopting a kid, it's not gonna be easy to raise a child by myself. Shempre the child needs a father as well. At dahil dyan, naalala tuloy kita. So what's the real score? Are you STILL single - as in, not in any kind of relationship at all? Or single but not married yet? I'm hoping against hope that it's the former.

So, get a move on Lil Miss Maldita! Now! Or else...

Making history
(This post is a week late.)
Rafael Nadal made history by being the first Spaniard to win the Australian Open by beating Roger Federer in 5 sets, 7-5 3-6 7-6(3) 3-6 6-2 in last week's finals. Not only did Rafa make history by setting a new record, he also made history by making his archrival, Roger Federer cry. Yup, if there was one man who reduced Roger to tears, IT WAS RAFA!
I was overjoyed when Rafa captured his first hard-court grand slam. I couldn't stop myself from screaming and jumping. But seeing Federer hurt and crying, I felt sorry for him. He didn't hold back his feelings and was brave enough to let the whole world see him in tears. Now, there's one more reason for people to admire him.
But then again, if you're a true-to-the-bone Rafa fanatic and anti-Federer, you couldn't help but feel mighty proud that the Spaniard has the superior advantage in their head-to-head meetings. It's his 13th victory in 19 meetings and his fifth over the Swiss in seven meetings in Grand Slam finals. Five out of seven in Grand Slam finals?!? Now, who's THE MAN?!? Whatever the FEDex fans say, Rafa fanatics will never lose if they stick to that argument. In fact, even Rafael Nadal can use that bit of info to emphasize his bragging rights. But he just won't!
Jessica Zafra was right on the mark when she said in her PhilStar column yesterday that, "The only person with gloating rights is Rafa, and he is too nice." One hundred percent true! During the awarding ceremony, Rafa was of those who applauded Federer and looked almost sheepish and apologetic when he came up on stage. He took the trophy quietly, held it up very briefly, and then went to put his arm around Roger and consoled him. That was truly one for the books.
I am looking forward to more moments like these. More excellent matches, more quality tennnis. One Grand Slam up, three more to go! Next stop is the Roland Garros which will run from May 24th to June 7th. For tennis fans like me, I cannot wait! But for the meantime, I will just content myself with major tournaments first. And oh yeah, cherish these photos. :)
