Underneath it all...

On my way to work, while inside the MRT, I saw something familiar peeking out of a girl's pits.

She has her hand on the rail and there it is. In front of me. It's beige. It's a Band-Aid. hehe. Cool.

I suppose that she got the cut from shaving her armpits. Anyhow, I am still yet to figure out why I am blogging about this. I just find it funny. It's ok to do that of course, but would have been better if she didn't wear short sleeves.

Armpits. Band-Aid.

I was once told by my uncle that in China, only prostitutes and celebrities shave their pits. Weird.

Does it follow then that celebrities are just high class prostitutes? hehe.

Armpit shaving is actually pretty foreign to some countries. I read somewhere that europeans don't shave their pits. I saw it too by the way.
Where could have I seen it? LRT. hehe.

But then again, I see Andrea Corr flapping her arms and showing her pits to the world in their concert and it's hairless. Nice.

Do you know that Axilla is the scientific term for armpits? If you do, good for you. Why? I don't know what else to say, that's why. I can feel my Axilla dripping with sweat as I write this.

Band-Aid was invented by Earle Dickson. He supposedly thought of this so she could help his clumsy wife. She always cuts her finger, thus a need arose for a quick remedy to her cuts. Earle thought of Band-Aid. Pretty nice.

I remember that episode in The Simpsons where Homer suddenly had the interest to follow in Thomas Edison's footsteps and even wanted to outdo him in terms of the number of his inventions. QB Stove just suddenly popped in my head. Another invention. A grill invented by a pinoy. You can watch it on ABC-5' s Venta5. haha.

I don't exactly see any coherence in what I have been writing.
Please bear with me.
To my English Teacher in HS, Yes, you're correct. That 'Lacks coherence ' in red ink you wrote on one of my compositions still holds true. hehe.

The Band-Aid(s) of today have become fancy. Transparent, Striped etc.

There's even a blinged-up Band-Aid now. Yahoo! Maybe that girl should use this next time.

Turning Japanese...

For some reason, I happen to suddenly remember this song.
I'm just wondering what this is suppose to tell me.
Does this mean that I'm going to Japan anytime soon? haha..
Anyhow, I love this era. The 90's. This song was so popular back then in the Philippines.
I just have a funny feeling that I'll digress some more in the coming days...

Changing of Guard

It has been days since a new Wimbledon Champion was crowned.
I am not at all shocked by the result. I am just plain disappointed.

Rafael Nadal, Men's Wimbledon Champion 2008.

After fighting for 5 long sets, Roger Federer succumbed his crown to 'Rafa' after netting a forehand. Damn. It must have been a very tough year for him.

He has only won some minor tournaments this year. I'm not used to it.

He lost in the Australian Open semifinal and French Open final. I thought that his loss at the French Open would be the most depressing thing. He was bagelled in that match.

But come Wimbledon, I proved myself wrong. The most depressing loss is yet to come.

Roger Federer probably agrees. He said in an interview that losing this year's Wimbledon is “Probably my hardest loss, by far” .

When Roger lost the 1st set 4-6, I told myself to sleep. I tried to do it but I couldn't. I got up from bed and turned on the TV. Rafa's now leading, 6-4, 6-4. Poof. I know that this is it.

A new champion will be crowned. Federer's backhand is just too vulnerable. Rafa just needs to serve on that side and he gets the point. When he's in danger in a rally, he just gives it to the backhand and he'll win the point.

As shitty as Federer's backhand was, He was still able to push Rafa to 5 sets.
This should make me feel happy. Somehow.
