Happy Birthday to myself!

Hi there!
Last Saturday I was back from school!!!!!!!!!
Okay, okay this is not funny. Not funny at all to pretend I was studying! But yes I was there for some other reasons...The school' Staff made some reception you know for giving gifts to good students, there were soda and cookies and stuff...
It was nice to see again my classmates even though they weren't all there.
So obviously I was pretty excited to receive my price...But you know what it was? a huge, heavy, ugly, dictionary!!!!!! oh my goodness!!! why? so I have good marks at school just to get some book to study even more on it!?
School in Algeria is really pitiful.


Anyway, there's the good news like you know, Spain is world champion!!!! I was so happy because when Algeria has been kicked out, I was rooting for Spain and obviously I was so happy when they won! Rafa Nadal was there in Johannesburg to support his compatriots, I've seen pics and he was crying!!!

What else? oh yeah!! that is the best part of what I have to say: We're July 13th and It's my Birthday!!!! Well, I highly doubt that my father even remembered it, but my mom did so I think I'll get great gifts! pray for me guys to get a new cell-phone!!!! or a Prince tennis' racquet! I want new ones.

So see you soon...

Aww! it hurts...

We are Saturday March 27th and right now I should be on court hitting millions of balls. But in stead of, I'm sitting at the computer with my leg shaved on the bed as if it was broken. Actually it is not broken but it hurts like it was broken!
Actually it is all because of that goddamn wind of yesterday's, it was blowing so hard! I've never seen something like that, and under those conditions you can't play well.
I was just trynna keep the ball on court but it was so hard to hit it, you just feel like it weighs 5 kg or something, so I ended up with an horrible pain on my left wrist and probably on my left elbow too I still don't know exactly whence the pain on my arm really comes.
And I botched my leg cause when you're playing with someone who's struggling with the ball, you gotta run everywhere all over the court to not let wind take it off of the court!! I was like: !!!!!!!!!! how can it do that with me, it's just a ball! a silly, stupid small yellow ball, but it is driving totally crazy!
Of course you would tell me: why don't you just stop it and call it a day?
I would answer: I tried!!!! it was actually my first thought a long before I even started hitting any ball, but my sucker coach decided to make me understand that sometimes "the easy ways are not always the best ways" so he stood up just besides me, and watched me fighting with that crappy balls and that damn wind during 2 hours! he's such a bastard...
What else can I say? he can be pretty mean when decides to, like he did when he asked me (no he ordered me) to gather the balls (that were all over a huge place of something like 50meters radius or whatever, as the wind has done pretty serious damages) so let's say I really drooled yesterday.

Yesterday...
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go? I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday...

ahhhh I love this song! I can sing it over and over and over again I would never get tired of it!

see ya guys later

Time for me to blog again...

I know I've been kind of lazy with you and I completely neglected my blog, but believe me it couldn't be otherwise. Between school, tennis practices, my Russian lessons (that I try as best I could do to have) and some time to my friends who noticed that I've been such a deserter for some weeks now, I've got no time to blog but now it's the holidays so...
I think I own big apologies (I don't know exactly to who) cause I've totally screwed up my blog. when I see the date of the last post I'm like: Waouh! have I been that neglecting?
that's to say that I am so sorry. I should add this is not gonna happen again, but... it is probably going to so...!

I have no big news except that I finally did well at school! maybe I could have done better but still good job compared with the first term. And now that exams are over, I'll be able to often write, and go to parties just like I did last week-end.
It was actually my cousin's friend birthday party, it was fun and we took some cool pics but my cousin, -as dumb as she is- accidentally deleted the whole file! so I can't show it to you guys. at least that makes no proof that I was in party last week-end cause my mom thought I was just spending the night with my cousin, she would be mad if she knows the truth, she hates when I lie to her and especially hates college boys! plus, I was supposed to be revising my lessons knowing that exams wasn't over yet...

I'll write again very soon so bye now

This is it


Well, so sorry guys for the lack of updates but I was in such a deep depression when Marat played his last official tennis match...ok my sentence sounds a little dramatical and maybe use the word "depression" is a little abused, but I can definitely not describe with mere words the awful mood in which I am now.It's like a huge vacuum in me, know that Marat won't play anymore, I'm so sick about it you just can't imagine.
I just hope he won't completely disappear from the screen. it has just been 2 weeks that he left the pro-tour that I already miss him...
Here is the video of the good bye-ceremony(so sad)it was in Paris, new and old players came to tell Marat "au revoir" check it out:

Like I was really sad and in a deep sorrow, I decided to do something which makes me forget this. Actually I wanted to do something worthwhile, and honestly create something is my fav stuff so I mad a video of Marat (of course) and Sophia Bush (do you remember the lovely brunette with a super chic style?) well I've always thought them a great couple (if they date tough) apparently no love between that two, yet they met a couple of times. I'll upload it soon but if you wanna check it out right now go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMIPioL86go

Have a nice evening...

almost fonctioning well

Thanx god I was finally able to bring some options back! So now I can picture you everything in my mind!

first there's the good news like: Maria Sharapova won a tournament! it's her first since her comeback from shoulder injury and her twenty in carrer. So happy for her!!

there's also something about Marat Safin but unfortunatly a sad thing, he's retiring at the end of the season. ok this is not exactly a breaking news knowing that I already knew it since last year when he was screaming to all the media: "I'm tired of Tennis of traveling around the world and tired of...balablablabla...".
it's just that now I feel his retiring so close! I mean we're in October and in the middle of November, the season will be done! and that's kind of scarying you know, like you realize that after this November there'll be no Safin anymore, I won't be able to watch him play anymore he'll maybe convert from tennis player to business-man! who knows he'll maybe president of Russia oneday! but for the moment right now, i'll be in a lack of Safin.


Oh My God, I will miss him so much, he is definatly the player with the strongest characters you know, he never hide or has been afraid to tell what he wanna say. He was so funny and adorable I think all the tennis world will miss him.

Here is a so funny picture from Shangai, when Marat was playing, I guess it was 3 weeks ago. and think it prouves what I was saying about Safin's notoriety.
watch and enjoy!

DOODLE: Not my idea of Heaven at all

first of all, I gotta say that something goes wrong on this site, it's been like a 3 weeks now that I can't put any picture any video, I can't use the colours, GOD that drives me crazy!! and apparently no one is doing something to solve it.

But let's be back about me a lil bit, but where do I start?...

Uhmm, at first I think I completely screwed up my test of Science Nat, which is unfortunate cause it represents 20% of my final note. it is nfortunate cause you know I'm in science class and I cannot count on maths to make up my notes anymore, so as true as it bothers me to say it, I have to work hard in Science Nat (in fact I hate the Sciences from the depth of myself)
And only now, I realize that I made the worst mistake of my life by enlisting in the scientific class. I should have went into math class, (you would say, why you didn't then? I would answer: that's what it costs to listen to your Dad) How dumb I was!
Then, I think I had the greatest revelation of my life, boys are assholes! ok, alright maybe not as great as I thought, but still a huge deal knowing that I always defend them like:
-"stop saying that about them girls, it's not fair at all, they're cool, maybe more than us"
Now I realize that the girls were right, boys are assholes I found it out somedays ago when my supposed friend (boy) showed me how evil boys can be.
Well I don't wanna give too many details about that but all I can say is that I thought that hypocrisy was just a girl-business. well, guys can be so hypocritical! and believe me it hurts more when it comes from boy than from a girl! and now I'm not talking about boys as boyfriends (everyone knows that they're assholes by this side) but I'm talking about them as friends, I never thought it possible, when it happened I was like "no way!" and I've heard someone shouting "WAY"!

What else? oh yeah! at least something good happened in all that. So this week I was finally back on the tennis courts and I cannot tell you how much I missed it. The balls, my rackets and my coach (he's so cute and young in addition! you can't even imagine how much pleasure it is to play with him) but we just maintain a professional relationship...there maybe a suspicion of friendship in it but nothing more I swear!


that's all for now! will be in touch!xx

Russians...always The best

the russians are always the best, especialy in sport: Maria Sharapova, former n°1 and 3 times Grand Slam winner (Wimbeldon 2004, US Open 2006, Australian Open 2008) has capitalised on her sporting ability and good looks to become the world's highest-paid female athlete.
and there is of course Marat Safin, first and youngest russian n°1 in the world, 2 times Grand Slam winner (US Open 2000, Australian Open 2005) and 2 times Davis Cup winner (2002, 2006 with Russia).
Marat is not the only champion in the Safin family, there is also his little sister "Dinara Safina" currently n°1 in the world and silver medal winner in Beijing 2008.
we can also talk about the other russian tennis player:
Elena Dementiva: olympic champion in beijing 2008, silver medal winner in Athene 2004 and currently top 10 player.
Anastasia Myskina: Roland Garros winner in 2004.
Kuznetsova: 2 times Grand Slam winner (US Open 2004, Roland Garros 2009).
Nadia Petrova, Vera Zvonareva, Anna Chakvetadze: former top 10 players.


The russian Fed and Davis Cup team (Fed for women, Davis for men) have won the cup 9 times this 10 last years, 2 with mens and 7 with womens.

a bit of glamour in sport never hurts!

when first you look at this picture above, you're probably like: "Okay, she a hollywood star, just like all others"

But when you look at this picture ----------------------------> you're certainly wondering: Am I dreaming or is it the same girl?
No, you're not dreaming, Maria Sharapova is the most glamorous tennis player, but don't be fooled by her charming face, she is one of the best tennis players in the world.

1.88m, 59Kg, blonde mane, yellowish green eyes, arms and legs well muscled, a suitable body both for sport and modeling. The Russian doll is like a mixture of the two pictures above, and the result is this last picture :

And we haven't yet heard the last of it, trust me!

Tennis, Tennis, Tennis...

Tennis is a sport that I always loved, I practice it and I'm always following it on TV.
My fav players are Marat Safin and Maria Sharapova (two russians!!) but also Rafael Nadal (he's spanish but just play so good that you can't don't like him).

This is Marat Safin, I think he is so handsome and so good player and so...everything that I just adore him!!

unfortunatly, this is the last season for him, he descided to put down his racket at the end of the year. that's really sad because he's just 29 and was like the crowd's darling, cause he's so funny and so adorable! especialy when he breaks rackets!!!!
