Staying up

.... till the wee hours.

It always starts with Abe's plan to stay up for something or other... be it the golf masters, or pga tour, or uefa cup, or euro finals. latest is the wimbledon and since it started, its been tennis almost every night, reaching its most feverish pitch last nite, or should i say this morning?!

The thing is he'll be sleeping like a baby halfway thru and i'm the one left blinking away, too caught up in whatever it is that he started to even consider getting some shut-eye!!

I was the one watching the williams battling it out, blood against blood, sister against sister. frankly its always been venus for me. serena is a little too bulky, a little too graceless and she moves about like a tractor.. me, i like to see a little grace in court when it comes to the ladies.

Same thing with nadal & federer. the dream match as the commentators call it and what does my other half do? he snores thru the exciting returns hehehe..... of course the intermittent waits for the rain to clear up didnt really help but gawd, it was nadal vs federer, hellooo!!! tertido jugak dia ish ish... but it was about 4 in the wee hours till it was finally over. he never could handle late late nites :)

Maybe the spaniard deserve to win.... persistence should be rewarded i guess, but its such a joy to see federer play. the killer combination of strength & grace. only in tennis (and the replays) can you actually get to appreciate the full range of muscle play; controlled power rippling thru the body with each hit.

It makes me wanna go out and get me a toned body myself (a near impossible task but what the heck..... makciks can dream too cant they hehe).

But first *yawn* i've got to get thru the day at least in half functional mode *yawn*

Oooh.. just for the record, i did put in a slow 4k run sunday morning followed by a nice looong stretching session. not much in getting toned la but something is better than nothing ;)
