Wimbledon Centre Court Celebration
Today, the 17th of May, 2009, is a very special day to me. Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi, the two tennis greats that I grew up idolizing, are now playing on the Centre Court of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, home of the prestigious Wimbledon Championships to celebrate its accomplishment of building a fully… »
Italy – Day 5 – Rome
Full day of tennis action at the Tennis Masters Rome today. We packed our lunch and spent the whole day enjoying tennis under the sun. As compared to the first day, we were like on a different planet! Lucky that I didn’t buy any thick clothes this morning “just in case”. Matches that we… »
Italy – Day 4 – Rome
We had one of the best meals in our trip today! Lunch at the beautiful Caffe delle Arti at Villa Borghese under the sun. It was quite expensive but the food/service/environment was first class. After lunch, we hopped on to the same 910 bus that would take us to Foro Italico to watch our… »
Italy – Day 2 – Rome

Back to work!
After four full days, I am totally exhausted. Getting up early every day is not that difficult as it turns out (I was the first one arriving in 2 out of 4 days), but having to really focus for so many hours continuously is. Luckily we spent most of the time on court, so I… »
Coach Certification Course
Just like many spontaneous things I did in the past, I don’t know why I signed up for this Coach Certification Course. It’s expensive, it takes 4 full days and I don’t really benefit from it per se. You know I love my work, so taking 4 full-day off (Friday Nov 16 thru Monday Nov… »
