Love the art work, herc. Love the colours though I couldn't read Nikki's name but it's very well done. It looks all complex and yet colourful!

Nikki, you can ignore half the posts here if there's too much to read. Herc and I just do the daily chit-chat to keep the forum running. I don't think there's anything too important here to read anyway.

We are talking like very good friends now. Sometimes he starts with the romantic stuff but it is best for me to ignore it. I know that he isn't suggesting a relationship or anything for that matter, it just shows that he still thinks a lot about the moments we shared. If he really wanted to be with me, he would show more invest and obviously he doesn't. I won't let it make me sad anymore though.

It is hard to maintain my eating habit while I'm travelling. My problem is that I always like having a few chocolate bars in my bag while I'm travelling just in case I need some energy. Unfortunately that's way too tempting and sometimes I end up eating them all although I'm not even hungry. I think next time I should pack a banana or other fruit (no apples because I'm allergic to them unless they are in pies, etc.). Apart from that,  I tend to eat less while I'm travelling because I'm too busy to think about food... I also don't like to go to restaurants by myself and during the last trip I was alone during the day (the people I was hanging out with had to work), I sometimes didn't eat at all during the day and was just waiting for dinner. Hahaha. Actually I shouldn't have put on weight at all during the past month but my chocolate-y snacks ended up on my hips and my belly anyway.

Anyway, at the moment I'm just eating more fruit, veggies and cereals. When I feel like eating something sweet, I drink a Turkish apple tea. I also cut down on the store-bought sandwiches and prepare myself something yummy at home no matter how long it takes and no matter how busy my day was.


Sometimes I trust strangers way too much. The only good thing this time was that I went out with the owner of the hostel where me and 2 of my friends were staying. That means if I hadn't returned, they would have asked him because they knew he was spending the night with me. Hahaha. Oh well, I wouldn't have expected to find such a creepy place in the middle of such a beautiful city. Thinking about it now, it was quite beautiful. After getting there from 3 weeks in Sarajevo/ Bosnia, I didn't find Ljubljana that beautiful. It was too "European" for my liking.  Now I really find it beautiful in my pics especially when I think of how beautiful the weather was that day. I spent the afternoon sitting by the river eating sushi. Hahaha.


Yes, no point investing more if he's not investing just as much. Traveling is really a good way to get to know your purpose of life. I wish I could drop everything and go for traveling at least for a year. But unfortunately I have too much on my plate to do that but since I crave for it night and day, I will eventually do it I am sure.

I guess you can carry light snacks and yet healthy snacks with you and yes, fruits. Apples are really good but since you have pollen allergies, you can't eat those raw. Btw, I don't think you can eat bananas either. I know I can't. Why not carry dark chocolates with you? Those are healthy and recommended. Will fulfill your cravings. But if you like it, then try carry dates with you. Those are very sweet and also, very healthy. Gives a ton of energies. Then there are granola bars, peanut butter etc.

Well, looks like you had it all covered when you went out with that hotel owner but still, it's good to be cautious, you know. When you get some free time, don't forget to post those pictures. :)

Yes, he was. He was clearly in the zone that day and you know, Yevgeny was a good hard court player in general though that's an indoor even but still, he did make the final, innit. Anyway, I must have seen it live as I watched a lot of his matches especially the important ones that were televised. Internet wasn't all that handy in those days but still, in 1998, I got on board.

I really liked Kafelnikov. He really liked Pete too. It was always pleasure to see him play.

Did you know that Sampras would only toss the ball once or twice before serving? Given that he had such a great serve and a very effective one, you would think he'd take a lot of time just preparing it. It clearly came very naturally to him although he'd say it's the repetition that he did as a kid that made it perfect.

Kafelnikov was an amazing player. I think he is one of the few to have won both the singles and doubles at RG. not an easy feat since RG is so grueling.


pete was from another league on quicker courts. he did not just beat them. he destroyed them.

of course he was just invincible on grass. his serve is the best of all time.

pete did the serve right.

too much wasting of time only leads to a loss of rhythm in my own estimation.


I know all these players have their rituals and I had them too but too much time on the service line leads to some loss of serving rhythm in my book.

Love the art work, herc. Love the colours though I couldn't read Nikki's name but it's very well done. It looks all complex and yet colourful!


did you see some of the andy images right next door.

I will try to perfect them when  I have more time. that was just a first attempt.


I had to come with a bit of a logo for him. I might try some other experimental logos for andy.

Kafelnikov was also the one who took out my Pete from RG semi in 1996. That hurt deeply. I really think if Pete were fresh by the time he met with Yevgeny and didn't have to play 3 five setters just to get to the semi, he would have beaten Yevgeny too. And later Stich in the final. Though I must tell you, Stich was one of the two guys who held the H2H against Sampras though by a narrow margin but still. It was a very tough draw for anyone to face and Pete was unlucky in the sense that the draw panned out exactly the way it looked initially. That was a loss that took me weeks to recover. And just add the loss at Wimbledon in the same year to Krajicek. It was just awful. Pete went on to win the USO though and retained his No. 1 ranking so in retrospect, it wasn't too shabby but very hurtful nonetheless.

Nole does it when he needs to concentrate and needs a few more seconds. Not sure his success ratio on those serves. I can't imagine being all that effective, really since the idea for him is to play the ball and get engaged in the rally. Pete serves to win the point.

I have seen those, yes. I was going to post there a bit later. I did like the ones where you used the Scottish flag and also, the British flag. both colours are wonderful.

I don't know a thing about graphic design and I don't have any good photoshop software emma.

I just do what I can. the most important thing is that I am having fun doing it. it is a good way for me to relax with my drink while I am playing around with these sports images.

Wingswomennbeer is a top 5 tennis player from the state of Texas. he becomes the 99th member at Camelot.

soon we will have our 100 members. we should have 300+ by the end of 2015 also.

he and I are exploring Canadian marijuana stocks. more people are going to come and join us there at the Abbatis Royal Hall sooner or later.

I am hiring you as my personal secretary to keep track of the Canadian stocks that we are following.

your pay: 1 bottle of wine and a loaf of bread daily.

and of course a daily pole dance in a hot bikini is also a part of your job description.
