Who Wins US Open 2009?

It is complicated to pick a clear-cut winner at this early stage. As expected, Roger Federer is the big favorite by the ESPN Experts. Of course, the Swiss was the last man standing in five consecutive times. Federer is an all-court player. He plays fantastic in Wimbledon (6 wins) and achieve in first big win in clay this year.

Yet, if something unexpected will happen, just like in Roland Garros 2009 where Rafael Nadal was ousted by Swede (Robin Soderling) in fourth round, Andy Roddick or Andy Murray can win this Slam.

US Open 2009: Any Bets?

The last grand slam of the year is coming. US Open starts August 31 but until now, I still have no clear-cut bets in who the last man and woman standing at the end of the finish line. Roger Federer and Serena Williams are of course the big favorites because they were the defending champions. Federer and Serena outlasted Andy Murray and Jelena Jankovic in straight sets last year. I wonder if Federer smashes his way to sixth consecutive win this year. That's a possibility, a huge possibility in fact but let's not forget the likes of Andy Roddick (Federer's runnerup in Wimbledon 2009), Andy Murray (This Brit defeated Federer four times) and Novak Djokovic (Nole maimed Federer in two different surfaces this earlier part of the year, concrete and clay and Fed's runner-up in Cincinnati Masters Open).

For further predictions, you can read it on my TENNIS MATCH POINT 40 I just hope I still got the energy to make a post. Haha!

How to Boost your Confidence to Stay Productive

This is the one word we all need to understand. Wikipedia generally defines confidence as a “state of being certain…that a chosen course of action is best or most effective.” Confidence, in layman’s language, drives us to reflect on how to do things.

For example, in playing tennis, you need to level up your confidence to win tournaments. If you regularly think you’re a subpar athlete, then winning a match will be difficult.

It’s Wimbledon Time!!!

After Roland Garros, it’s Wimbledon time. Just loving the grass and retractable roof and if only I have the money and the vacation packages, I have no single ounce of doubt in getting to Paris and London for full three months of endless excitement and fun. Geez, I want that dream badly!

But enough of that dream and I’m getting frustrated now. My goal in writing this content is to simply choose my picks for the grass grand slam and not to dream of the impossible (lol).

Looking back, Roland Garros have several events of upsets and unexpected. The King of Clay was ousted by the courageous Robin Soderling in four sets and now, I’m thinking of what possible shocking events can transpire in Wimbledon. Can anyone make loud noises again just like Robin Soderling? Will Ana Ivanovic soar high or after this grand slam, I will just see her name glide down the top 20?

Making Decisions

We make decisions everyday. Either it’s small or big decision, it’s still a decision we need to act upon. In fact, no one is perfect in terms of decision making. Every decisions we need, we should and we can face have its own sets of consequences and limitations. Probably, there’s no bad decisions, only the better one. Agree with me or not, making decisions is sometimes easy but most of the time, it’s exhausting.

Confused and Anxious

I woke up this morning feeling like a dead rubber. I couldn't help myself but think about my future. Right now, I'm working as a content writer and I'm happy bout it even there's numerous rough edges I need to fix in my writing styles. However, there's still a bigger picture inside me I want to achieve and that's obtaining a master's degree in psychology.

What field in psychology I want to pursue? I am still in fence to tell you the truth. It's a 50-50 call between business and counseling psychology and I probably will choose to study online (considering my situation as a handicap). Perhaps, this is truly the life we are walking through. Not all things are not what we always expect. There's no hundred percent, there's no perfection, we simply need to survive the consequences in every action we choose to act.

Another confusing problem that bugs me off right now is money. If I am going to have my master's degree, where will I get the money to pay my fees? Sad but true, my salary as a content writer is not enough to support all my needs and wants. Perhaps, I need to talk with my dad or aunt about this matter. They might know someone or some ways to achieve my goals.

Am I over analyzing my problems again or am I taking it too hard for myself? Probably not. At the moment, my goal is to buy my laptop for tennis live streaming, writing tasks, blogging, etc. and I take it from there.
