Of sports and racing

I just finished watching the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix. Haha! I watched it from start to finish. 56 laps. Man, in just the first two laps, there were already two casualties. Montoya flew off the track and hit the barrier and lost one of his wheels (so sad); effect of this was they had to go behind the safety car for 5 laps. I didn't know that could happen. Obviously I haven't been paying attention to the race. I kinda miss watching Formula One with my dad. He'll be spewing off technical terms here and there; sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. Anyway, there was this tricky corner and like two off them got caught in the trap. Alonso and Raikkonen are each one heck of a driver! They could pull off an overtaking stunt on the corners! So cool! M. Schumacher is really losing his touch. Two of them were really breathing on his neck, so much pressure. He got in 7th place. He was in the lead though for a few laps until he had two pit stops. Raikkonen really stole the victory. I mean, he was like in the 17th place in the beginning and after 56 laps minus the 5 laps behind the SC, he's the winner. Then Alonso from 16th to the 3rd place. I mean, wow. How the hell did they do that? I won't go and pretend I understand cars, about horsepower, throttle, etc etc etc because frankly I don't! Haha. Basta ang galing. Ack! I'm becoming an F1 fan!!! Can't wait for the next weekend! This time, the race would be in Shanghai, China. I think it's the last race for this season. Yeah, it is. Aaaaww....Just when the sem break is here.

Enough about racing. Let's go to volleyball. Yes, I only watched the sports channel the whole time! As in alternating between volleyball and the race. It was a game between Italy and Nederland. Ha! Where else would I side with? However, putting biases aside, Italy was really better than Nederland. Nederland's receivers were bad; the ball didn't have any direction. If the first hit goes out of the way, then they won't be able to give a good attack. Centoni from Italy's side is the best! I so love her. She kinda looks like Cate (AC girl lower batch). She's good in everything. I guess that's why she's the captain. Their libero also did her role some justice. She literally dove just to get the ball even if it was super outside. Idol! Anyway, I didn't finish the game. The score was like 16-8 in favor Italy. I like to say that Italy will win but 8 points of difference? It can be easily caught up. Who knows. May the best players win.

I can't wait for the Fifa World Cup next year!!! Woohoo!!! It'll be in Germany right? Ha! I super will watch that! On TV of course. :D

I'm being a sports fanatic right now. Haha! ^_^ Just to lay off studying.

And this is where I pass by the black and white chequered flag. The race has ended. Ciao!
