SOFIA

[... ANG NAKA-PENDING NA STORY NA SANA MATAPOS KO NA ! Bow! ....]

Dahil sa hindi magandang ugali ni Susie, nagawa siyang hiwalayan at iwanan ang nag-iisa nilang

anak ni Darlon, si Sofia. Hindi siya tapos sa pag-aaral at walang matinong trabaho. Umaasa nalang

 siya sa padala ng kanyang tita sa ibang bansa. Isang araw, nakilala niya si Martin. Naging maayos

ang kanilang pagkakaibigan. Hanggang sa niligawan siya ng lalake. Gustong gamitin ni Susie si

Martin para makapag-higanti kay Darlon dahil sa pag-iwan nito. Ang hindi alam ni Susie na matalik

palang kaibigan si Martin ni Darlon at ito'y kanyang inutusan upang mapalapit sa anak. Ang hindi

alam ng dalawa, balak ni Martin  na pagkaperahan ang hiwalay na mag-asawa sa pamamagitan kay

Sofia.

TURKEY bowed down CHINA

Bronze medalist in 2012 FIVB World Grand Prix, Turkey, bowed down from the strong Chinese squad during the match yesterday.


The Chinese survived from the Turkish claws in a 5-setter game, (3-2), 19-25,  25-17, 25-20, 15-25, 15-10.



It was  very evident that the Turkish squad had a strong dominance in their opening set and easily swallowed the Chinese in 19-25. 


But the Asian powerhouse bounced back in the next two sets and outscored turkey in 25-17, 25-20 respectively.


Turkey was trying to snatch the match and bounced back in the 4th set, 15-25 and forced China to play the deciding set.




The Turkish tried their best to outsmart the Chinese but the latter was so unstoppable and sealed the match in 15-10 leaving Turkey another loss for this week's matches.

BRAZIL and RUSSIA : Gold & Silver

The Olympic champ, Brazil, outsmarted the young Russian team in 3 straight sets, (3-0), 25-23, 25-23,25-22 during their final match in Montreux Volley Masters 2013 in Switzerland. What a game for the Brazilians!

In their opening set, the Russians started to go ahead with the Brazilians with their good offense and defense. But the Olympic champ made their run and went ahead, 25-23.

It was a series of see-saw scores in the second set with the superb Russian blocks but Fe Garay of Brazil was really unstoppable and led her team to go ahead, 25-23.


The third set, chance of Russia to bounce back, however, Brazil started well. But the Russians didn't stop to tail the Olympic champ. Because of Brazil's persistence to close the match, they sealed it at 25-22 with a cross-court hit.

However, it can be noticed that the Russians didn't give in easily against the strong Brazilians.

So, Brazil bagged the gold and silver for Russia. Meanwhile, Dominican Republic defeated Italy in 4 sets, (15-25, 25-22, 25-18, 26-24)  during their bronze medal match.
