Han synes at jeg er totalt crazy!

Av hvilken grunn?! Jeg kan ikke skrive det her na....men han sagte det meg den sisten natten! Dio- two weeks senza norsk, and I feel a bit uncomfy writing in that language!
Anyways, tomorrow is the big day and I am facing a big problem at the moment- today's a bash @ Savoy and I would love to go there ( many pals will be there- e.g Filipo, Lucia etc..)...it is on the other hand a bit irresponsible to even think about joining them- since I sit my exam at 11 a.m!!!!!!
Okay returning to tea and books/ tests- but before doing that: Do you know the song 'notti senza cuore'
( = nights without a heart)?! Not?! Not good! :



I love Gianna! I love that woman so much, and this is one of my fave songs! I love the lyrics :
Non è così che passa in fretta questa dolce malattia
Mi butterei da quella stella spenta di malinconia
in questa urgenza di vivere e furia di sentire so di esistere
Notti senza cuore da non aver pietà a parlare agli angeli qualcuno sentirà
Notti senza nome da far tremare il cielo dove c'è una via d'uscita
che trascina via da quì in un volo bellissimo in un mare bellissimo
E' stata una battaglia persa Niente che mi tira su
nemmeno un'ora di violenza che consoli alla tv
Gli occhi sopra le nuvole aspettando la luce di un'alba atomica
Notti senza cuore da non aver pietà a parlare agli angeli qualcuno sentirà
Notti senza nome da far tremare il cielo dove c'è una via d'uscita
che trascina via da quì in un volo bellissimo in un mare bellissimo
e mi sembra bellissimo sopra un mare bellissimo
Notti senza cuore da far tremare il cielo dove c'è una via d'uscita
che trascina via da quì
Notti abbandonate all'ultimo piano notti perse per le scale e notti andate a male
Notti senza me sopra un mare bellissimo
e mi sembra bellissimo in un mare bellissimo
Notti senza cuore dentro nei portoni notti da coprire il cielo coi cartoni
Notti senza cuore notti senza me

And the ending of the song is so very special <3

Miley Cyrus Ready To Grow Up And Strip Down

Miley Cyrus is anxious to be done with childhood and move on to move “adult” things - like taking off all her clothes in a movie.

The 15-year-old Hannah Montana star is rumored to be interested in the lead role in “Undiscovered Gyrl,” the film version of Allison Burnett’s new novel.

An insider said that the controversy over her sexy Vanity Fair shoot has had the intended affect: to make Miley look older and more mature.

“I challenge you to show me a child star who really made the transition to adulthood smoothly,” says one source. “Miley doesn’t have plans to leave showbiz any time soon, and to get that big ‘grown-up’ part, she needs to start looking like a grownup. That shoot helped.”

The source says if Cyrus did take the part, you’d be seeing a lot more of Cyrus than what appeared in the Vanity Fair photos.

“There would definitely be nude scenes,” says the source.

The heat is so on..

It's so hot here. So damn hot! Okay I actually do enjoy it, but it's still hot! I love it !!!! I love it!!! I have just my Toefl Exam to go and I am done. Summer's so asskicking fine!

A few changes

Had to change the template, coz the old one was fult og helt f*cked up (pardon my French!). And this is the prettiest of those offered here. C'est tout!

Just came back home, was sleeping over at Assal's. We were supposed to go to Kassel tday, but her brother's bday bash was postponed, so I am free to tidy up my room (looks like a battle-field..if not worse..) and do stuff like that. I am really tired (watched 'White Chicks' yesterday).
Moreoverly sat my last oral exam this summer semester, and I literally screwed it. I am such a fool. But this is a chapter for it's own. Really! Now I gotta keep my head clean for English and than I am off home. Finally.

Were also out with the girls (Funda, Jana, Antonia, Kata, Isi and Assal..than Jana's flatmate joined us) @ la la Villa Cuba (the interior is so effing awesome!!!!), I was in some serious demand of alcohol. And talking. And chatting. And whatever...

Gotta call Ulla as well, spoke to her yesterday before my exam, but I do nto remember what we were actually talking about........
Grosses bises!

Paris Hilton stopped by police for erratic driving

Paris Hilton was reportedly pulled over by police in north Los Angeles yesterday after she was spotted driving erratically.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the socialite was stopped around 3:20pm yesterday afternoon on the 134 freeway after she was spotted weaving through traffic.

The source explained Paris blamed the behaviour on being “lost” and was let off with a warning.

Last year, Paris was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating conditions of her DUI probation and driving on a suspended license.

Dark Knight storms the world

Hundreds of Bat-fans descended on London's Leicester Square for the European premiere of The Dark Knight.

Already a smash hit in the US, the latest installment in the Batman franchise, set a record at the United States box office, smashing last year's Spiderman 3 record.

On top of the box office success Heath Ledger's depiction of the Joker is already generating Oscar buzz and Christian Bale's tortured hero is even more intense than before.

"The thing that's good with this one, it had a lot of hype about it, but the hype is real, it really is a bloody good movie," said Christian Bale, actor.

Veteran actor Michael Caine, who plays Alfred Pennyworth the faithful butler to multi-billionaire Bruce Wayne, was also pleased with the films success.

"I was talking to one of producers and she said she went to a cineplex in the outskirts of New York and there were 18 cinemas all playing Batman and they were all full and so we must have done something right somewhere along the way but I saw the movie and I think it's wonderful." said Caine.

You know, this is just one part of Heath but he is so extraordinary in the movie, I think it is a wonderful way to honour that part of him," said Maggie Gyllenhaal, actress.

The Dark Knight released in the UK on July 25.

A-Rod/Madonna Sex Tape?!?

There are some reports going around that an unnamed man secretly filmed Madonna and Alex Rodriguez having sex and is now trying to sell the tape for $2 million. According to the man, he used secret hidden cameras to shoot the couple during one of their visits to an apartment owned by one of Madonna's friends, where they often went for secret get togethers during the day.

The man happened to also be friends with Madonna's friend who owned the apartment, and managed to sneak in hidden cameras.

Of course, the fact that the man had to resort to several illegal things to shoot the tape probably ensures nothing will ever come of this.

A legal expert said if what this guy is claiming is true, he could face prosecution for voyeurism and burglary: "If footage was obtained in this way it would be an outrageous invasion of privacy. But more than that he would not have had his friend's consent to install the camera and must have entered the apartment without approval to hide it….That is burglary."

World's Untold Stories <3

Since my hunk can't be bothered to go to bed, and since he can't learn without me..and since I feel bad (stomache) I am sitting with him on a sofa, finally browsing the net a bit more ... and I think it is high time for a little CNN update.... I haven't seen my fave show- " World's Untold Stories" for ages :( here is however an overview!

Dangerous Ground

Relations between Australia's Muslim community and the rest of the population are near to exploding. As they face increasing suspicion and hostility from the rest of the nation, young Australian Muslims are being made to feel like foreigners in their own countries. Is Australia's response to terrorism to blame?

Child Denied

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

When Helena Ferenciková was 19 years old and in the throes of labor with her first child, she was told to sign a document. Only afterwards did she realize she had authorized her own sterilization. Eleven years previously, the same happened to Elena Gorolová. Both women are fighting for justice. Helena has chosen legal action, and became the first Roma woman to win a case in Central Europe against the hospital that sterilized her in 2001. Elena addresses international audiences to ensure this never happens again.

Greenland Goes Green

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

Greenland's ice caps are melting faster than predicted -- and local farmers couldn't be happier. Thanks to rising temperatures, they can now grow new crops and raise cattle for the first time since the Vikings. Warmer seas are bringing huge catches of cod and growing seasons are up to a month longer. "A little bit of extra warmth is good for us", says agricultural consultant Kenneth Hoegh. "We're growing things we would have hesitated to grow in the past". But not all farmers are happy as the environmental balance becomes increasingly precarious.

PNG Babies

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

Papua New Guinea is facing a crisis of the young and innocent. The country's morgues are filling up with tiny abandoned corpses. For every one thousand babies born in PNG, more than seventy will die before their fifth birthday. "We're hitting our head against a brick wall" says one distraught community worker. But some unsung heroes are giving the babies dignity in death and teaching young women about the threat of disease and malnutrition.

The Coldest Winter

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

The situation in Afghanistan steadily deteriorates. In the past 12 months, thousands of Afghans have been killed and clashes between NATO troops and insurgents are commonplace. Six years after the US-led invasion, the rhetoric has changed. Soldiers no longer talk about wiping out the Taliban or hunting down terrorists. Now, the buzz words are tactics of counter insurgency. "We have to look constantly at ways to do it better and do it differently", states Lt Col. Woods. His men appear exhausted and demoralized. At night, the temperature drops to -30C. Blizzards have grounded their helicopters but despite the extreme weather, troops from the US 82nd Airborne are heading out for a 10-day patrol. "The Coldest Winter" follows them as they battle the elements and the tense environment.

Malawi: Africa's Deadly Brain Drain

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

Africa is in the grip of a medical crisis as its doctors are lured away by lucrative jobs in Europe. Malawi now only has one doctor for every 50,000 people. "We are working under very difficult conditions. It's like we are in a war", laments Robert Lapyam Ayella, the only doctor at Mulanje District Hospital. He's one of the few African doctors who hasn't moved to the West, where they can earn 200 to 300 times more. Making matters worse, approximately 25 percent of Malawi's health staff are expected to die of HIV/AIDS in the next decade. Facing these problems, it's not surprising entire medical classes decide to emigrate to the West. As one expat Malawian doctor states: "I earn a good wage in England. Why should I go back to Malawi to suffer?"

Trapped: Part One

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

"You can run, but you can't hide" say the girls, who night after night sell themselves to an endless stream of men. They ply their soulless trade in filthy brothels or parked cars. This film captures first hand the violence and eeriness of life working on European streets for young African women and girls who were tricked into leaving their villages with promises of a better life. Michelle Mildwater specializes in trauma. Her exceptional sensitivity allows two women -- Anna and Joy -- to tell their horrific stories. In "Trapped: Part One" we hear their tales of life on the streets of Europe. "Trapped: Part Two" will be seen on TV at the same times next week, follows their shameful deportation home.

Trapped: Part Two

Watch the program: Part 3 | Part 4

Each year an estimated 2 million women and children are tricked, beaten, raped and forced by threat of death into the world's growing sex industry. "Trapped: Part One" followed Anna and Joy as they helplessly resisted being forced into prostitution on the streets of Europe. In this, "Trapped: Part Two," we follow them home to Nigeria, ruined and ashamed. We also get a rare glimpse of how desperate families are tricked into giving up their children to strangers from Europe who promise them riches, then sell them as sex slaves.

The Carteret Islands: That sinking feeling

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

We've heard a great deal about the effects of climate change. The Carterets in the Pacific could be the first islands in the world to disappear due to rising sea levels blamed on global warming. "Our houses are getting closer and closer to the sea", complains one woman. "Maybe one day, a tidal wave will sweep everyone away". It's estimated that the Carteret Islands will be completely submerged by 2015. Already, the beaches are littered with fallen trees, their roots eroded by the tide. Rising sea levels have made it impossible for the islanders to grow anything apart from coconuts. They are now dependent on aid from Papua New Guinea, which plans to relocate residents from the island. Some though, refuse to move. As one states; "If the island is lost, I'm lost too."

Darfur Crisis

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

"I'm sick, cold, hungry," laments one refugee. "How long will this go on?" Five years into the humanitarian crisis, the situation in Darfur shows no signs of improving. The Sudanese government and Janjaweed militias have been trying to dislodge a rebel movement, with civilians caught in the middle. At least 200,000 people are thought to have died. Government official, Al-Hadi Ahem Ali, is responsible for keeping the displaced alive. But NGOs feel hampered by government bureaucracy and the worsening security situation. "A colleague was killed the day before yesterday, something like 18 drivers are missing" complains one aid worker. Al Hadi assures them: "Security is OK. There is no real problem". This exclusive report - filmed inside Darfur - reveals the refugees' plight.

Gaza Tunnels

Every night, 14-year-old Said scrambles down a narrow shaft leading to a tunnel. He'll spend the next eight hours digging without a break. It's claustrophobic, difficult and dangerous work. He, like others in Gaza, is digging a tunnel to Egypt. The tunnels are used to smuggle everything from weapons for Hamas to basic household goods that are not available in Gaza's isolation. The tunnels are the only way to import goods into the territory. "They're a gold mine!" states Said. But to his disgust, most of the profits go to other people. "We do all the work, then they swindle us," he complains. Once the tunnel is nearly ready, "other people will open it, do the trafficking and make more money than us." The money that Said makes will support his entire family. But every time he goes into the tunnel, he knows: "You are digging your own grave."

Romania -- The Lost Children

Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

Decades after the world was shocked by pictures of Romanian orphans tied to their cots in squalid conditions, many children are still being held in old-style institutions. Babies at the pediatric unit are unnaturally quiet. They've learnt there's no point in crying. "They have no affiliation, no stability," laments supervisor Dr Monica Nicoara. Previously, many of these babies would have been adopted by Western families. But foreign adoptions are now banned and authorities want to find Romanian families for abandoned children. However this new system has failed many of the country's most vulnerable. Ricardo and George ended up on the streets after their parents abandoned them. They've given up on the state and now take care of each other.

I could watch all of them NOW!!!!! I simply love that! And you know what is great, my <3 does as well!!!!! :)

Passing and passing....

Passed my Oral in Norwegian with the highest mark in our course, which is simply corking! I was so speechless- (luckily I was speechless afterwards not while I was talking) I did not know I was so good in doing norsk convos! Whoa! Whoa whoaaaa!
I am so busy, its still all about Uni, Exams, SUB, Friends and my hunk <3
Grosses bises!

I love that pic!!!!

...because Kelly Osbourne is looking so damn good on it (she does generally nowadays) and I think this is one of the cutest couples ever!

Pamela Anderson's boob competition with Megan Fox

Pamela Anderson won't be happy after her boobs failed to beat those of Megan Fox and Jessica Simpson.

Her boobs have long been regarded as the best in the business but they seem to be losing out to the younger ones at the moment.

Actress Jessica Simpson has just come out on top in an In Touch Weekly poll to find the Best Breast in Hollywood.

Tyra Banks came second followed by Scarlett Johansson in third. The Worlds Sexiest Woman Megan Fox only managed to come in at ninth place...Pammy didn't even make the list!

Tommy Lee recently announced that he has naked pictures of Pamela Anderson on his cell phone.

The rocker, who reconciled with ex-wife Pammie last month, is said to be so smitten with the sexy actress he happily shows the photos to his pals.

A friend of Tommy told BANG showbiz: "Tommy is as proud to be Pammie's man as he was when they first got together. Pammie may be 41 but she still looks every inch the Playboy bunny she was and Tommy has the proof.

"If you're really nice to him, apparently he'll even show you!"

Ronaldinho + Kaka = <3

The first thing I have heard today in the early morning- Ronnie joins us! Bummer Ladies and Gentlemen, shocking and splendid! Well though my first thought was : HE?! WHY?!
But hey- everyone wants to play for ACM- the best footie club on this planet <3

I passeeeeeeeed!!! I passeeeeeeeeed!!!

Passed my first exam! I am so glad. This means folks, that I am allowed to take the oral exam in Norwegian! I am so happy! It's maybe just one of many, but it gives you actually an ass-kick to move forward!
Xoxo

Second one done (but for sure?!)

Sat the second exam today- written italian- it was so damn difficult! The worst above all- our Prof thinks Assal and me- that we cheated- which is so untrue, because I do generally NOT cheat at exams (and I did not make an exception this time)- where is the sense in studying the stuff, if you cheat anyways and do not learn it than?! It's completetly reckless. Surely there are sometimes subjects, which aren't essential and not relevant to your job/studying field (= profile), but this are exceptions. I prefer not to cheat in that cases neither! Anyways do I hope that it is indeed over with the difficult ones for this semester! Of course we had our habitual ritual - Chai @ Coffee Bay (helped me last time to pass ....)Got to learn for the best of the rest- a few oral ones and my TOEFL test. Either way- I am still screwed. I am so grateful for having this wonderful guy on my side and my friends and my Mommy. Best support as it gets!

Just came back from the city- was shopping (grocery) with Funda and Assal.. and spent some hour just talking. Result?! Hunk waiting for food for over three hours... hehe.. I think Ulla was right, I am the type who's gonna walk out to buy a pack of cigarettes and come back after five years :)
Okay a bientot,
Wish me luck!

Keira Knightley's Mom: 'I Don't Mind if She Strips On-screen'

Keira Knightley's mom isn't fussed if her daughter strips-off for the cameras.

Playwright Sharman Macdonald -- who worked with Keira on hit film The Edge Of Love -- revealed she didn't bat an eyelid when her daughter peeled off for a romp.

She said, "Keira stripping and taking part in nude sex scenes doesn't bother me.

"It might bother some mothers - but not me."

Keira, 23, recently revealed that she has no qualms about appearing in the buff, insisting nudity has even become a habit of hers.

She said, "I always bare my breasts. It's not like it's only in this film!"

So when Edge Of Love filmmaker John Maybury requested her to remove her bra, she was happy to oblige: "I said, 'All right then.'

"It was very simple. It was a sex scene and I never like them when they've got bras on."

Seta & Appelsinpiken <3

I should also add- speaking about Oral Exams- that I had to read two of the best books ever written for them! Really! For our Norwegian Spoken Exam we were obliged to read Jostein Gaarder's "Appelsinpiken" while we had the free choice among three books in Italian. I picked Alessandro Barricone's "Seta" . Two masterpieces, I highly recommend them! And I really did love to read them <3

I am so cheesed off!

Yeah folks, it's Klausurenzeit (= exam time) and I am sitting a fancy amount of them this semester! In an hour or so I am obliged to go to my second home ( which is the library lately), since I am facing my second exam on Monday- written Italian. It will be the toughest of all (written ones). I had Norwegian for starters yesterday- I guess I am gonna disappoint my Prof unfortuntely- I liked one essay I had to write quite much, but the second one was simply bad- in my eyes at least.

Than I am facing two exams about literature and two oral in Italian and Norwegian ( we had to read books for them- Jostein Gaarder for NOR and Alessandro Barricone for ITA) and something else -oh yeah History of the Inquisition in Italy- ..hmm and I still remember that my last one will be on the 31st- I have decided to re-take my Toefl exam, since the last one is no longer valid (horrible! I had almost full points!).

My Mommy bought me a new Notebook yesterday and new Sneakers ( they are so beautiful, I fell in love with them). All items are longing to see me in Pologne :) .

Apart from that- much to do, too little time. That is! And I am still in love. More than ever!
Love is definately the most powerful feeling on earth!
Ci vediamo!
Ciao!!!

Pamela Anderson busts into Big Brother house

PAMELA Anderson busted into the Big Brother house with all the glitz and glamour that was to be expected of the former Playboy bunny.

Described by Kyle and Jackie O as "the ultimate intruder," housemate Rory met the former Baywatch beauty inside the diary room before escorting her into the house on his arm.

In a plunging red mini dress, the perma-tanned, platinum blonde left housemates flabbergasted, prompting Travis to ask "Are you the real Pamela Anderson?"

The blonde bombshell had briefly dazzled them just minutes before from behind a glass screen, where the housemates thought she was another celebrity impersonator they needed to photograph as part of their weekly task.

The remaining housemates, who have been inside the Gold Coast complex for 73 days now, will have the pleasure of the sex symbol's company for 3 days.

Cyrus: 'I Want To Be The Next Madonna'

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus is determined to be the next Madonna, citing the pop superstar as her ultimate inspiration.

The Hannah Montana singer/actress hopes for a long and successful music career and is convinced she will be able to follow in Madonna's footsteps by constantly changing her image.

Cyrus tells People magazine, "Madonna always reinvents herself, and that's what I want to do. Whatever comes my way that sounds good, that's what I want to do. Whether it's designing clothes or photography or whatever."

Final on Centre Court (and I am not there..)

As predicted before, Marat lost to Federer in the Semi's- but hey! This is not bad, not bad at all- losing against Federer is anyways like.. like a blessing. Hardly anyone's able to beat that guy!
Currently on Centre Court : Rafa Nadal trying to upstage Roger (and looks like he's succeeding!).

Just came back from Assal- my rakas went home, so I needed to get out- that's the horrible part of a fresh relationship- you miss the second half, even though he / she is away for only one day. This is so mad. And I think I am exaggerating... I need to cool down, otherwise I am gonna drive the car into a one-way-street!
Anyways gotta go back and chat with my Mommy and my Brother and Others!
A tres bientot!

The heat is on- Marat is unbelievable <3

He is in the Semi's
He is in the Semi's
He is in the Semi's
He is in the Semi's
He is in the Semi's
He is in the Semi's

Marat you are the BEST!

It's raining in London (quel surprise!) / Somebody please take my credit card away!

I am so sick, I barely slept this night, and as it seemed today in the morning my <3 neither! We got up much too late (nothing new, really!) had breakfast and he went to Uni (I have a free day today so... ) .
Went to the pharmacy (it's next door but I really had problems to move my ass this far!) and instead of buying myself some pills for my maladie - I came back home with a whole shopping bag full of Vichy products.. I am such an Idiot. But on the other hand- I simply <3>. It's like Shiseido - the smell is simply heavenly!

Jana and Funda are coming back from Roma today ..Huurrraaaaaaay... and I have a rendez-vous with the library in the eve ....hurraaaaay...

Wimbledon's in progress (as good as it gets)- under heavy rain- and as far as I know Federer leads with Ancic and Safin is losing ;(
Bad!

P.S I forgot Guerlain <3

Pamela Anderson blasts Jessica

Pamela Anderson has branded Jessica Simpson a "b***h and w***e". The former 'Baywatch' babe is furious the 'With You' singer wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan, 'Real Girls Eat Meat'. Pammie - an active campaigner for animal rights group PETA - said: "I think she is a b***h and a w***e. Actually, I don't know if she was talking about food or men."

The 40-year-old actress says she is proud to be a vegetarian, insisting it is a good lifestyle choice for everybody. She told an Australian radio show: "I think it's healthy, good for your body and good for the environment." Jessica was recently blasted by PETA for wearing the T-shirt. The blonde beauty - who famously questioned why tuna was nicknamed 'chicken of the sea' on her reality TV show 'Newlyweds' - came under fire from the animal rights group, who urged her to ditch meat to increase her brain power.

A spokesperson for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said: "Jessica Simpson's meaty wardrobe malfunction makes us thankful that no one is looking to her for food advice. Chicken of the sea anyone? The woman who thought that Buffalo 'Wings' came from buffalos would benefit from some good veggie brain food."

Marat the Imperator.... I am totally Safinatized ;)

Ladies and Gentlemen- Marat -Russia's-best-looking-man - Safin made it into the top eight- TOP EIGHT of Wimbledon! I am so much over the moon! I knew he could make it! Now it's Lopez and if he succeeds- Federer... okay top four will be like a victory than ;-) . Here is a lovely interview he gave earlier- after reaching the second round. Enjooooy :

Q. What does it mean to you to get to the second week here?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, I didn't made it since a couple of years, I think, and for me it's a big achievement. I'm pleased with the way I'm playing, actually. This is the most important thing.

Q. How was that match on you physically?
MARAT SAFIN: It's okay. It was a tough match. The guy played, I think, one of his best matches. He's a fast player, knows what to do, plays very well on grass, moves very well. At the end of the match it was pretty tough because we both, I think, couldn't see the ball anymore. I was a little bit worried because I couldn't see the ball at the end.

Q. What happened on the last couple points then?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, two frames and I just ‑‑ I couldn't see it anymore. Just all of a sudden you cannot see it. At the score 3‑2 I just couldn't see. I explained with the timing, that's it, and I think he did the same.

Q. Do you think you handled the whole light situation a little better than he did because he's sort of a less experienced player and he did a lot more complaining on the changeovers?
MARAT SAFIN: I don't think he complained about anything.

Q. He seemed more outwardly aggravated.
MARAT SAFIN: For him it was a big match, I think, also to beat me in the third round, especially the way he played. I think the match was a really close one, and with a little bit of experience I think he could get to the fifth set. Then you never know what could happen. But I think just a little bit of experience helped me a lot.

Q. Were you torn a little bit between, well, things are going well right now, maybe we should try to finish, or this is crazy, I really can't see?
MARAT SAFIN: I prefer to play tomorrow than to finish today, because you never know. It's the fifth set and it's a new story. It's better to stop and play tomorrow. It's just a new day and we finish it up.

Q. At what point would you have said something to the officials.
MARAT SAFIN: I think at 3‑3 or 3‑2 I said, When are we going to stop? I really say, I couldn't speak loud because I didn't want guys to hear about it, because it was really important. Because every time we played ‑‑ that's what I was trying to get a fast point. Just attack or just go to the net or try to make a first serve, just a winner, because I couldn't really see. I couldn't play the point.

Q. What was the official's answer to you?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, we have to stop when we are even. This is not exactly the response that I want to hear, but it looks like it has to be like 5‑All, 6‑All and then just go the next day. But it's not really satisfying for me.

Q. Because you were up a break?
MARAT SAFIN: For me, if I want to stop and I am up a break, I think I'm the one who wants to stop, not him. Because he has all the rights also to stop because he is losing and he can't see the ball. I'm the one who doesn't see the ball and I want to stop, which is, I think, pretty fair.

Q. But if he said you had to stop when you were even that would mean you would have given the break back by then.
MARAT SAFIN: It was close, 5‑All, and then you never know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Q. How well are you playing now?
MARAT SAFIN: I think pretty good tennis, pretty good level. I think I just start to feel much more comfortable match by match.

Q. When you get momentum from winning, how does that help you?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, I get nervous. Like when it's tough moments, like when I was a break up in the fourth set, it was just hold the serve and just continue. But I went double fault and one easy mistake, and that's it. Just, again, you're back in it to try to make another break, so it's just some moments you need to be more focused.

Q. You've won three now. How far do you think you can go?
MARAT SAFIN: I'm playing against Wawrinka. I've never beat him. I really want to get revenge. I think it should happen here, and I'm looking forward.

Q. You quite rightly didn't have huge expectations coming in because of your second round opponent. Have you looked at the draw the last couple days and set a new goal for yourself?
MARAT SAFIN: Well, match by match. It's just you don't want to have a lot of expectations, because when you start to have a lot of expectations you just end up losing in the third round to God knows who. Just for me, I'm just trying to get as close as I can to top 50. This is my goal just heading into the summer in the U.S. I think it should make a really huge difference. I would love to have seeded in the US Open. Now that I have a chance to get there, why not? I'm on the second week of the Grand Slam and I'm playing against Wawrinka. I think just have a chance there, so why not? I think there is a chance, and you take it.

Q. Will you be buying any more plane tickets?
MARAT SAFIN: No. Well, I'll try to postpone until Monday.

By the way - funny folks in the quarters : Ancic, Schuettler, Clement, Federer , Lopez and of course Nadal....

From A to Z and back again..OLE OLE OLE OLEEE

Spain has made it! Muchas gracias mes amigos ;) you saved Europe from a German footie champ... the game was so great- I watched it with ..lik 30 guys who were for Germany and than suddenly Filip joined us- and together we supported Spain.. haha priceless!!!!! I loved his sayings about Germany ..I was laughing the whole time ( considering the fact, that Spain was leading after a Torres goal since the 33.minute..that made things perfect!).. After the game we went into the city (hehe..also priceless..believe me.. I am still in Germany.. :P ) and than home.

Life's unspectacular now- it's about studying for ten exams- sitting in the library- spending time with my <3 and friends and working (okay if....). That'a all..
I am a bit exhausted..or lost my natural rythm.. I am longing so much for holidays... but at least I can relax.. in bed ;)
Ciao a tutti !
