A busy week. Not just for me but for the rest of the world as well (insert sigh here).
Kadayawan ‘08 is already a closed chapter in Davao. But for the rest of the world (or at least my world of interest), things are still at the exposition part and climax is a long ways off.
Heads up first, CBS has finally revealed the official cast for Survivor Gabon: Earth’s Last Eden. Speculations are over and we have names, faces, and first impressions to gnaw on. I never had the time to really get to know the casts yet, aside from the fact that they comprise of the typical “hot” chick, Ivy League student, the hunk, and the old guy (yes, indeed old enough to be your granpa). However, what I like best about Survivor is that despite of its predictable cast, the game as a whole is unpredictable. And that’s when each of the contestant’s pangs come out as the quest for million dollars turn them into more cunning individuals.
(to my friends who are hoping to watch this, apparently local channel QTv will be airing Survivor Gabon. will do update you on timeslots.)
On another topic, the US Open commenced this week and already it is making headlines. Nadal and Federer both survived the first round with ease, Federer notably winning in straight sets. Top-seed Nadal and Venus Williams have scheduled matches for today.
only in its 2nd round, there are already some major upsets. The biggest one so far happened this morning before I left for the office. I got to catch the tail-end of French Julie Coin’s (rank no.88) match against top-seed Ana Ivanovic; just in time to see the World No.1 bow down and end her hopes of winning the title in 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 match. According to Yahoo! sports news:
Never before in the Open era that began in 1968 had the No. 1 woman lost this early in the tournament.
Whoa! I can’t wait for the next round!
