I had to wait till I got home to see this. Makes up for a hard day. He looks sooooooooooooooooo fine. I can’t wait to see him back in action. “gulps”, (thinking dirty thoughts)
omilord rafa. bestill my heart. how gorgeous is this man. the dimples. that warm lovely smile. too pretty. and the fan haha, blowing his gorgeous mane all throughout the shoot. hehe. was rafa like giving a bit of a pucker up at 0:12?!!! *faints*
Mim & Miri, thanks for the 15 seconds of bringing “Heaven” into my blah Monday workday (RAFA & all of his testosterone) Oh, my, where’s a fan when you need one or crank up the AC!!!!
Your welcome June (and fellow googly-eyed Rafanas).
Isn’t it amazing how natural he is? Just 15 seconds and yet you could write a novel! So natural, no extravagance and abundance of hair product. No distractions with flashing lights and outrageous props. Just..Rafa in all his glory.
*grins* What a sweetheart. No doubt we miss him to Mars bar bits!
Yes, Mim he is amazing to look at & I could stare at him for hours at end. He is so natural in his poses that he could be a model for sure, no? His hair is so beautiful — I wish he would do a commercial we could watch here in the US. Thanks for asking about my son, Sia — yes, he tore both his ACL & meniscus in his right knee & has to have surgery in a few weeks when the swelling goes down. He is so discouraged, but the good news is that his coach is going to let him “red shirt” the fall soccer season & he can play next year (so who cares if he’s another year older when he graduates, right)? Anyway, I bet RAFA is behaving himself better w/his mom than our son is at home w/us I keep telling him (of course Xisca is in town w/him I guess, not like our son’s GF). I pray RAFA doesn’t need surgery, because I’ve heard any kind of knee surgery is a b*tch & a long recovery period even if you’re young & in good shape.
So sorry to hear about your son. I hope after his surgery he heals fast. Very frustrating for both you and your son.
Rafa is incredibly natural in front of a camera. I wonder, if cloning was freely available I’d put my order in. One Rafa to go!
No one can snatch you to the magic of this moment. There are millions of reasons to give thanks for being so alive .. (I haven’t translated the letter entirely but it is wonderful). It’s from Spanish group “la sonrisa de Julia”.
June, in the past when I have had injuries the worst part is waiting for the surgery. Once that happens at least you know you are on the mend. I’m sure he’ll feel a bit cheerier then. Good luck with a young man at home for the summer ….
It is so hard when the mind thinks one thing but the body is having none of it … I’m sure Rafa is working hard at his recovery, but I bet he is not all smiles.
Thanks everyone (Mary, Sia, AnaR & Atch2) for the words of encouragement. Yes, that video was lovely & when RAFA smiles he lights up the whole room & I love to see him w/kids as he’s so genuinely caring. I’m sure he’s not a “happy camper” right now trying to heal his knees but I know he will be back to his happy-go- lucky smiling self. We always say that when someone has dimples that they were kissed by the angels & how he was! That’s so funny about little RAFAs walking around & cloning him — it made me laugh & my day today again :-)
There is a vid somewhere in YouTube of Rafa with this really young girl and he’s just amazing with her. Also Rafa with babies, cousins, strangers’ kids etc. He’s marvellous with kids. He’s the oldest cousin in his family after all and there are quite a number of kids in the Nadal family.
Oh, the hair… And the smile… And the dimple in that last shot. Precious!
Short, but enough to keep me going at work today. Many thanks, as ever, miri!
Wow… its soo gud 2 see him smile like this.
Ooooo, thanks!
My handsome man.
*dreams on*
I had to wait till I got home to see this. Makes up for a hard day. He looks sooooooooooooooooo fine. I can’t wait to see him back in action. “gulps”, (thinking dirty thoughts)
And he looks so casual and cool. I’m in dimple heaven.
Wow, such an awsome physique and that smile!(melts), thanks Miri for this, I miss Sexy Rafa sooooo much!!!
omilord rafa. bestill my heart. how gorgeous is this man. the dimples. that warm lovely smile. too pretty. and the fan haha, blowing his gorgeous mane all throughout the shoot. hehe. was rafa like giving a bit of a pucker up at 0:12?!!! *faints*
Hah, just what I thought, nic (about Rafa at 0:12)!
*joins nic in fainting*
Hotness, Hotness, Hotness….
Mim & Miri, thanks for the 15 seconds of bringing “Heaven” into my blah Monday workday (RAFA & all of his testosterone) Oh, my, where’s a fan when you need one or crank up the AC!!!!
Sheer heaven …
Aaah, nice post Miri ;D

Mmmm … mars bars … and Rafa. sweet.
Hey June how is your son ? Did he actually tear something or was it just a pull ?
Yes, Mim he is amazing to look at & I could stare at him for hours at end. He is so natural in his poses that he could be a model for sure, no?

Or maybe he’ll donate to the sperm bank.
We can all have Rafa juniors.
Miri
It’s a beautiful video .. Rafael is really spectacular. I would like to add this video super-nice and I hope better times.

No one can snatch you to the magic of this moment. There are millions of reasons to give thanks for being so alive .. (I haven’t translated the letter entirely but it is wonderful). It’s from Spanish group “la sonrisa de Julia”.
The translation more or less is:
THE INSTANT
Guide your heart
to a new station
to walk without a clock
to a great conversation.
At the sound of the sea
and the sunset
a bonfire in a corner of the night
No one can snatch yourself
the magic of the moment
There are millions of reasons
to give thanks for being alive.
There is nothing to suggest
you have it there in front
and nothing prevents to you
enjoy the moment.
I know this might hurt someone
I know it’s important
but now that I have you here
Now you can not topple.
Now the sun from sunrise
shines within you
Will give you the gift
of enjoy and be happy.
Life may end today
but this will not prevent
you can walk forward.
No one can snatch yourself
the magic of the moment
There are millions of reasons
to give thanks for being so alive.
It’s so nice.. isn’t it?
Where it says .. “I know this might hurt someone” should say .. “I know that you has been hurt”
I am sorry, a mistake.

I put this link on another page but I don’t think anyone saw it. It is adorable. Just what we need to see right now…Enjoy!
