It may be the first time I watched World Championships for track & field this year. Except for figure skating, I don’t usually watch any other sports competitions and I only watch Olympics. I have been a fan of Jeremy Wariner (400m) since 2004 Olympics but since watching last Beijing Olympics ( 2008), and his struggle to get gold medal, and rivalry between LaShawn Merritt and him at that time, I became more concerned about his competition. They showed the first round ( rehearsal ) two days ago, and Jeremy’s time was 44.64 or something like that, and he looked like he was not seriously running and I thought it just for warm-up before the final. And in the final, he placed second with the time 44.60 ! LaShawn Merritt won with the time 44.06 . I was wondering what was wrong with Jeremy ??? Then in the interview, he said he has been having an ankle injury. That’s why… The time 44.60 is slow compared to his usual time he had been having in the past. It’s really a sh

I’m so glad to hear that Sandhu is challenging the audition for SYTYCD again this year !  And was able to watch his dance on YouTube here ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI7bIwQuM7w What an awesome beautiful dancer ! Every angle of his moves and his line are perfectly well done, technically, artistically. IMO.  And his expression is hilarious. His standing pose in the beginning reminds me of Freddie Mercury’s pose in “ another one bites the dust “ in Queen’s music video. So cool ! Sandhu has well balanced proportion and looks taller than his actual height . I think because he knows how to show his body line. And so did Freddie Mercury. One judge called him that he is a beast ( of talent ). I agree, he is like a monster of talent for dance. I really hope he will pass the audition this time. Such an amazing talented dancer.  I also loved his dance in his last audition. But when I think about SYTYCDC is for Canadia

Even though I didn’t expect Japanese media will write something about Johnny or catch his photos of his performances, I’m still disappointed to read this article below, http://www.toyama.hokkoku.co.jp/subpage/E20090627001.htm ( Japanese ) As a Johnny fan, I want to know about him the most, how he skated and the reaction for his performances. But in this article they didn’t even mention anything about him, while they mentioned other foreign skaters, Victor Petrenko, John/Rena, and Stephane Lambiel attracted audience with their unique performances. I did understand Japanese media always care for only top Japanese skaters mainly, and little about Lambiel. I have no idea why, but I think he is definitely very popular in Japanese skating world especially in men‘s skaters. It’s really shame to see this difference between Korea and Japan. Also, I was a little worry about his Poker Face in Japan, whether it is loved by many Japanese Johnny fans or not. Just like it happened f

It was shocking to hear the news about Michael Jackson’s death by heart attack yesterday. When I was a teenager to 30, I often listened to his music, especially Thriller video was always the biggest hit on TV while I was around 20. I’ve been to his concert only once. It was when I was around 29. He was so popular and at that time it was hard to get his concert ticket and to get the tickets, everyone had to line up in front of the ticket centers, and there was no phone selling. I remember that my friend’s co-workers spent 3 days in front of the entrance of the ticket center and could get good seats. And they shared the tickets with me and my friends. Our seats were row 10 in the biggest concert hall in Japan, so I was luckily able to see him clearly, and got to see his famous moon walk and his amazing dancing and performance. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of his dance, I had no doubt he was a wonderful dancer. And his talent,he composed many music. He absolutely was on t

I got a pimple on my face a few days ago. Maybe because I ate ice cream , or maybe it came from Muenster cheese. And while checking about some info for how to remove pimples, I happened to find the info which says toothpaste can relieve pimples fast at one of yahoo questions & answers. So I tried it , putting a little toothpaste on my skin before going to sleep, now it’s almost disappeared !!! I never knew toothpaste has such a power to remove pimples, but actually mint has power to kill germs , so I’m glad to find this discover !!

http://www.figureskatersonline.com/JohnnyWeir/journal.html This journal was wonderful and very touching. I don’t remember how many times I got that same feeling seeing and reading about his life. Although he is one of the top athletes, an Olympian, I’m often feeling like he is one of my family. One of the nice things about reading Johnny’s journal every time is that he always shares his true feeling with many details, not only the things he feels proud of, but also both good or bad. Things change so his mind may not be always the same. I didn’t think his result of last season as failure, it was just one of the results he received one his way to get to his dream. I believed that he will be okay and he has experienced tough times in his life many times, so he can handle it again. Seeing Johnny’s experience, I can also learn many things, and apply them to my life as well. I believe so do many people, and never give up or lose your dream. It’s also very nice to hear about that he has

Seems like Johnny’s film has been getting all positive reviews so far. I wish they would also show it in Arizona area. Or I wish I was living near New York or if there was miracle door which can get to everywhere wherever I want by just opening the door. The film sounds really awesome according to all the reviews. It started from Johnny’s cool triple axel (?), and his childhood, how he got into skating till 2006 season. Also the strictness of his training required by the sport, and his need to freely express himself at the same time . You can hear Johnny talking throughout so you get to listen to his explanation about events described or shown. It will be published in DVD in this fall . I can’t wait to see it ! On June 11, Johnny was at his movie premiere , New York and the video was already up in ice network.com and also in life skate.com http://www.lifeskate.com/ Must write about it. I really loved this interview. There are Part1 , Part 2 for the in
