go rafa go!!!

i didn't have the exact schedule of the monte carlo masters finals

with nadal against federer.

so i waited til midnight reading this book by deborah rodriguez, THE KABUL BEAUTY SCHOOL.

the first chapter is so suspenseful and yet colorful and funny. it brings us to the life of afghan women. there is this girl roshanna, matched with an afghan man who is an engineer in amsterdam. her mom-in-law-to-be was so sure there was no whiff of scandal about roshanna, the pretty, hardworking girl. but roshanna had this mystery lest her mom-in-law and hubby-to-be would find out she isn't a virgin anymore. so on their first night, several times roshanna's mom came out crying, waving a spotless white hanky. it signifies either the woman is not virgin or nothing happened. roshanna just wouldn't simply let it happen cuz she was so nervous to face the deadly truth...that she isn't pure anymore having cheated to all her in-laws. so her american friend talked to her alone and got the hanky and clipped her own fingers to bleed and smeared it on the white cloth. she told roshanna to hide it until they are "done"... and the next thing, while everyone was outside eagerly waiting for the "result", roshanna's mom came out joyful that the hanky was now bloody and shouted "virgin! virgin!"

i fell asleep and the match between nadal and federer passed me by.

then in the morning when i woke up...i found kookie by my throw pillow, a red spot on it! and i looked every where there were traces of blood!!! and i shouted wow!!!virgin!virgin! awww...i mean, she should go out and date now! hmmm...

then i learned nadal won the monte carlo title for the fourth straight time breaking a record from way back 1911. i like both guys federer and nadal really. good attitude, so much wit and power. and after the game they are so friendly. compared to novak diokovic who is so haughty...

although i love roger federer, i want rafa to win the french open!!!
