last sunday, i with the familia, went to the araneta coliseum to watch the last three games of the mvp cup 2. [yeah, celebrating hannah's birthday! now you know i'm actually a busy person. hehe.] the first match was the mixed doubles, asia represented by siblings kennie and kennevic asuncion against, erm, the european representatives. [so sorry, can't remember their names. didn't mean to be rude.] although they lost, it was still a heck of a game. and you'd have to lose sometimes, right? guess that was just that.
next thing was the women's singles. i didn't enjoy it much. the players were good, as expected. asian representative is world's rank 2 [now it's evident that i'm sooo not good with names and i'm sooo not hyped to look 'em up, at least at the mo], i think she's chinese.. or taiwanese.. or something.. weird thing is, even the european representative had asian blood. yao.. ms. yao.. there. of course i was biased towards asia, and i thought she was really gonna win, with the credentials and all that shat. but the losing streak went on -- europe won again.
the last match was the one i really fell for. it was the best match of the whole cup [oryt, maybe not the whole cup since i watched only 3 games out of 9, but for that day at least it was]. wahahahahaha! johansen [not sure bout the spelling] vs. lin dan! lin dan ranked 4th the world over, while johansen had a string of won conquests tied to his name. i swear those two are not human! i don't even see them moving their rackets and yet the feather flies from one side to the other then back again. [thank you for bearing with the exaggeration] but really... dan is uber cool. johansen lost his temper when he sorta slipped and failed to return the bird to dan. then he started protesting bout the mats being sabotaged or something. he got warnings for misconduct. all the while, dan just waited patiently, pacing innocently about his side of the net for the fired up european to quit ranting. dan won the first set, johansen got the second but alas, dan kicked ass by bagging the match with an uberly exciting third set! whew.
lin dan is the man!

yours truly would like to apologize if this entry is just a thoughtless waste of words. she hasn't slept for the past 25 hours now, and her brain isn't quite in the right state.
that's that!
now for some winks... i'm sooo gone.
