Federer’s Another Magnificent Milestone

I watched the Swiss maestro humbled Andy Murray in the finals at Wimbledon that many thought he could no longer compete with the younger legs. Yet, he once again defy that age is certainly not the case when it comes to his favorite court. It ended a Grand Slam title drought for Roger Federer and eventually became one of the oldest players to win a grand slam title and the second oldest to hold the number one ranking. It also puts on hold Britain’s 76-year wait for a homegrown champion once again though Andy is almost right there already.

Though Andy did try his best by taking the first set yet Roger was just in his own class and became the top-rank player that once he was. With the win, Federer equaled a record seventh Wimbledon title and adding one more to a record grand slam collection that now stands at 17. In doing so, he also returned as number 1 in the world rankings, equaling Sampra’s record of 286 weeks at the top and he will eventually set a new record and reach another unprecedented landmark of 287 weeks as world number one in the coming week.

And with the London Olympic just around the corner, there is no doubt that he will be one of the favorites to win the gold in men’s tennis considering that it will be held on the same grass court. Although Djokovic, Nadal and Murray were also there but there’s nothing simple about beating the guy on the other side of the net if Federer is standing there. An Olympic gold in men’s tennis singles will add to his already illustrious achievements that until now keep eluding him. And if he continues to play the way he has, he’ll have an excellent chance of finishing as number one through the end of the year.

Planning of Making another Blog

It was just recently that I was ghost writing some tech blog posts for a friend and I must admit that it was hard to make a bulk assignment with this type of niche. Although it wasn't my first to write some tech gizmos but this one has to be up to date and has to include recent tech buzz. That itself, need some diggings and research and it eventually took 4 days to finish the 15 posts that was assigned to me but of course you also have to consider that I have a day job to do. And at one point I also got a bulk assignment about home improvement and designs but that was finished in lesser time.

And last night, it left me thinking and asking myself if I should be starting my own tech and home design related blogs. Right now I already have three blogs that I constantly updated. I have a medical, health and safety blog (Be a Lifesaver Of Goodness) considering that I worked as a healthcare provider. Then just September of last year, I started my fourth blog which is a travel and photography niche and I called it “Snapshots as they happen”. And my personal blog (humbleopinion by sir rob) that talks about almost everything from the poems I wrote, sports that I love watching and not the one that I tried playing, family, life and so on. It is basically a general type of blog but with limited discussion of my point of view because of the circumstances in the kind of job that I have right now.

If you noticed that I mentioned earlier that I have three blogs and that is true yet I was also talking about my fourth blog that I started last September, it sounds confusing in some ways, right? But what happen is that I already have four blogs but I already get rid of the third blog because I don’t have time anymore to update all of them. How much more if I am going to add another one or two blogs?

The Firmoo Models

This is a very late post and that was supposedly posted way back in the second or third week of May. But because of circumstances that happened and some priorities to make, it has continued to push this post in the backseat many times. In fact, (true to its word) this photo was taken 12 May 2012 and was just so happy that it arrived in time before Mother’s Day. The promise was it will arrive in 15 – 20 days from the time of our last email confirmation when I choose the kind of model I want. But that wasn’t followed because all of the (three Firmoo) shades came earlier than expected and it was so fast that it didn’t took for a week to arrive.

These two part time models of mine look so great and beautiful with their new Firmoo shades. It is not just elegant but a classy eyewear as well. Not to mention that even this young fellow on the right wear his dad’s sunglasses awkwardly and clearly shows that it doesn’t fit on him. Yet he doesn’t mind, as long as he looks cute and charming with it. Check back for more detailed critique of Firmoo’s eyewear.
