Time to do a meme which we have not been doing for some time. Thanks to JMom, our kailiyan in North Carolina who likes to cook, for tagging us to do this. The idea of this meme is to pass the links around which means that, if we keep the link train going, all of us will have more links.

So folks, let’s get aboard the Linky Train. All you have to do is:
1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.
2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.
3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.
4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW is using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section.
5. Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!

When we included our contact email up there and asked you to “Email Us”, we were hoping that some of you will get in touch. True enough some of you did and we are very grateful for that. We hope that you will continue to send us emails because we love reading them

However, we also have been receiving a lot of spam mail from people who are promoting just about anything under the sun. Like the following for instance:

Were you, like me, disappointed when Roger lost? Let’s not be bummed too much though. A good run does end sometimes and I do not think Federer, with all his titles and millions, is getting drunk because he lost. It’s about time too that other players have Grand Slam titles of their own. Adi tako bokodan di gawis (rough translation: Let’s share the good things) as we iSagadans say.

I’m happy though that Novak and Jo-Wilfried are going to fight it out. I hope Jo-Wilfried wins because he is the underdog. And like Edwin, I too root for the underdog. However, Jo-Wilfried hardly looks the underdog with the way he’s been playing. Still, go Jo-Wilfried!

Go Jo-Wilfried!!!

Hello kailiyans Down Under! Are anyone of you watching (or monitoring) the Australian Open? Kind of interesting results so far, no? Upsets began on Day One and kept going. I’m glad Roger Federer is still there and I hope he wins the title. I wouldn’t mind though if the young ones (particularly Djokovic and the Tsonga kid) end up winning.
