another -ova, yet she's from Czech

Iveta BesenovaHey.. Thursday night.. Hangin out after finishing the orchestra rehearsal, watching tennis in Eurosport, and I saw her for the first time. Iveta Benesova, 21 year-old left-handed player from Czech Republic.

I like her play. Eventhough she was not really good, but she has an amazing backhand slash that once or twice put her opponent at that time, Amelie Mauresmo, in trouble. Too bad that she still has weak serve -even so, she scored 3 aces in the game- that she needs to work on. And she's cute too.

So I hope she can work things out and advancing better than her position right now, 45th in the race. And one more thing. Go Russian girls!! And I never meant it for Anna Kournikova. Where the hell is she right now? Hehehe.. Hopefully Vera Zvonareva will make it to Los Angeles.

funny dream

Wow.. I had a funny dream last night. And I want to lash it out here in front of y'all. My dream was, I caught a friend of mine -not so close friend, but still a friend- butt naked in a room. And funny thing is that I just like "Dude, do you have this book with you?" Or questioning a very unimportant question as such.

As I woke up, I of course did not remember the dream. But in daytime, I remembered that I had this dream and damn! I laughed a hell lot of me. And I take it as a sign that my tolerance to nudity has gone to places that I never thought that I would go before. Wow.. Am I really that tolerant? Now I'm still giggling.

In the newest Survivor: Vanuatu episode, it is said that Sarge said that he was comfortable with nudity, because he had been in Europe. So is that it? Is it because I'm in Europe and I definitely have an elevating level of acceptance. LOL.. I still don't know what to think. But I like it though. I mean I like the fact that dreams make me realize that maybe some part of me is changing. Hope it towards the better.

Wish y'all the best first weekend in November.

Believe is out

Wow!! What a great way to start a day!!

The Polar Express posterAgain, okay, I have to say that it's also late.. But the first performance of the latest single sung by Josh Groban is out. It's titled Believe, theme song from the movie The Polar Express. I think I'm gonna watch the movie. Just curious how Robert Zemeckis directed a digital animated features this time. And of course to catch Believe on screen.. Maybe it's just in the end, but es ist mir doch egal.

The Polar Express poster Back to Groban, he performed in the Oprah Winfrey Show on.. I'm not sure. Maybe it's October 26th, though.. Again, accompanied by his sidekick Zachary Provost on the piano. I think the song was OK, not over-the-top OK, but not bad (hope the other fans won't kill me). Kind of rejoicing the holiday season's spirit once again. Just check it out. Maybe it will be on Launch in a couple of days.

Right there on the right, Josh Groban looked all merry when Tom Hanks pretended to play the piano on the set of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Sorry bout the low quality capture, btw.

And as a preview, here is the lyrics to the song.

Believe
Lyrics by Glen Ballard

Children, sleeping,
Snow is softly falling.
Dreams are calling
Like bells in the distance.
We were dreamers not so long ago.
But one by one,
We all had to grow up.

When it seems the magic's slipped away,
We find it all again on Christmas day.

(chorus)
Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
There's so much to celebrate.

Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need,
If you just believe.

Trains move quickly
To their journey's end.
Destinations are where we begin again.
Ships go sailing far across the sea.
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be.

When it seems that we have lost our way,
We find ourselves again on Christmas day.

(chorus)
Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to
waste
There's so much to celebrate.

Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need,
If you just believe.
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe

Just believe


so there it is.. go head listen to it and enjoy it!

phew..

A new month, new things to face.. Love it!

Anyway, yesterday I finally hit the gym after some inabilities. And as I thought, lost 5 pounds. Hmm.. Must work hard to gain them back, then. The gym was so very extremely fuckin crowded! Gosh! I hate it. There are soooo many people there, and still new students are registering for membership. What will the gym turn into? Markplatz? Well, we'll just see.

Today, plan to go to Planten und Blomen. Hopefully will get some great pictures and I can show you later on then. I know it may not be the best time of the year to visit Planten und Blomen. But seriously, if I wait for another week, it'll be even worse.

And later on tonight, another orchestra rehearsal. Let's see how it'll go on.

Good Tuesday!
