I miss World Cup!

No more late nights, no more bugging friends on early mornings. The last prediction of the now retired Paul the Octopus telling us that Spain will win is true after all. The bird can go back being normal. As Netherlands supporters went home disappointed. On the last game, was feeling really sleepy plus it was really boring to be honest but what the heck I stayed up for Spain's sake. After endless yellow and red cards and no goals to be seen, I was overjoyed when ANDRES INIESTA of SPAIN scored a goal. It was during extra time and thank goodness for no penalties! Viva la Espana! First time in the finals and they won! It was so worth it to be watching and I didn't even skipped work because of it. Well done boys! :) Now that it's over, it's now back to serious matter and business. I know it's been like 2-3 days or so? I'm starting to feel a little sad. Boys and their sweats, and balls too. Oh, I did not mean to sound dirty here! Haha :P Okay, okay I admit.... I jus...

No Orange Tonight Please!

The weekend is going to be over again in a couple of hours time. Saturday went passed by so quickly, I didn't even get to savour much of it. But still it was good doing our side project chores, at least we get to do the fun stuff while working. I love to get busy, busy! :) And waking up early for church and having lazy Sunday to end your weekend is simply a bliss! I can be the happiest person when doing simply nothing at all. My week days are pretty much about work and the upcoming side project I'm doing with the sister and cousins since we're planning about it. And Every time I start writing a new blog post, all I want to talk about is football. Yes Again and Again. Excuse me for it is the last day of World Cup. Germany won the 3rd place as I've expected. Sorry Uruguay. But 3-2 was a good score. Almost. Wondering which team will win at the last match later. The Octopus prediction was Spain will win the final. And the Bird picked Netherlands instead. Whichever team it i...

Viva Forever!

Uruguay Versus Netherlands, Netherlands won by 3-2. And that 2 am match between Germany Versus Spain just hours ago.....Spain Won by 1-0! Oh yeah! Unbelievable! Viva Espana! "WoOhoo! Worth the pain, worth the wait! I can sleep with a smile NOW! :)" As quoted via my personal Facebook account after watching the game. Looks like Paul the Octopus prediction was oh sO TRUE after all! Most of my Twitter friends ( and Facebook as well ) who supports Germany were saying that they're going to eat octopus the whole day! Hahaha. Guess those German sausages won't be a hit for quite some time now. Okay I was just joking. Honestly speaking, the FIFA World Cup this year is even more memorable than the previous ones for me. It brings me and the people I've known more closer. Imagine talking to friends at the earliest morning at 4am just because of football. I enjoy doing that. Who would have thought that those we were never that close, finally found something we had in common. A...

Cry For Argentina

Another favourite team has lost. I've should have expected it. No surprise there. After all, Germany has been champions in the past FIFA World Cup history. The way they handle the game was awesome! Strong Deutschland young guys were obviously very fast and not letting Argentina have the chance even for once. First 3 minute goal and finished the game with leading 4-0 was great! They deserved the win for their effort! Diego Maradona left the stadium with an aching heart as I cried for Argentina lost. And for the other team, Viva Espana, David Villa scored again! I am so looking forward for Germany Vs Spain! :)

Friday Night in South Africa

What a title, I wish it was true but no. Truthfully I was somewhere else. Was at a secret side project meeting with the rest when the match between Netherlands and Brazil were playing. It was fun and we had lots of food to share. The second meeting was as good as the first time. Can't wait to start that project! *excited* So yeah I did not get to watch the match last night.I think most people were rooting for Brazil to win the game based on the previous past games well performed by them but guess the saying about the underdogs team somehow going to rule is partly true enough. And I am not surprise if my favourite team won't win the finals this year. I mean have you noticed that those former best teams are out already? We'll just have to wait and see about it. *fingers crossed* Way to go Netherlands, you beat the famous Brazil team!:) And I still can't believe Brazil is not going to the finals...That was unexpected!

I am not talking about meatballs

..... coz I need to talk about football AGAIN! Muahahaha *evil grin* Sorry guys, I'll get you bored but I can't resist. *makes innocent face* And so the match between Portugal versus Brazil finally ended last night with a draw. Phew! *relieved*I didn't really get to watch the whole game as I was in the movies watching Knight & Day. Just the last few minutes. But still I was happy to know that both team made it to the next round. And Spain won against Chile too! David Villa scored again. Viva Espana! :) The other day, I was glad that England still managed to score a goal and won against Slovenia What a great choice Fabio Capello, for bringing goalkeeper David James in coz he is my fave! But i had to accept the fact that Italy is going home. Looks like there will be no pasta party for me then. So much of thinking of a celebration if only they win. Heehe :P After endless of screaming, I have to deal with sore throat's and bare with it until the World Cup is ov...

Lucky Magnificent 7

Seven '7' has always been a favourite number for me especially in football. I've been a big fan of it since David Beckham wore that number when he was still with Manchester United. It almost felt like the number has been attached to me. My Portugal Jersey and I :) And now it's Cristiano Ronaldo. The captain of Portugal. I know many people don't really fancy him, but for whatever reason or what people say, screw those people! I still like him! You might think that I only like him because he's good looking, not! He's more than that, he's has this talent and skill in football. I just love how fast the way he moves and gets the ball. He is the man of the match! :) Portugal big winning playing against North Korea last night was unbelievable! It did not disappoint me at all! Poor Koreans was struggling hard to catch up the score and ended with nothing. Think I almost lost my voice cheering and shouting for that magnificent 7 goals ! Woohoo, I was over the moon...

I'm not watching World Cup tonight....

Because 'I rather have my beauty sleep than watch some crappy game! Time to snuggle up on my bed! Hee ;D ' as quoted on my Facebook account. Sorry for the non football fan, I need to brag something strictly football. :P Like seriously, where's my prize of supporting when all they do is give a bad performance & don't have the effort in winning? Hmmm... After all the disappointments I had to faced watching my favourite teams played on World Cup in South Africa this year, more or less dampen my spirit to stayed up late at night and early morning just to watch the match. And worst still, I had to wake early to work just like everyone else. So far, Argentina has been the only team who maintain their great score. I was actually quite surprised by those impressive goals scored by the underdogs team. Who would have thought eh? The unexpected things that could happened. I'm going to accept which ever team who will win the champion title. Whatever it takes. Even if I am n...

12th of June 2010

Follow my blog with bloglovin When I told you that I was not going to watch World Cup 2010, I lied. Cause today, I just did. I wasn't going to watch the match between Korea Republic Vs Greece because none of the two are my favorites. And I knew I always prefer the taste of Greek Salad than Kim Chi. But I under estimated the Koreans, they actually won the game by two goals and defeated the Greek! Let's just say that I am really impressed! After that was the Argentina Vs Nigeria match. And I was like, "Woots! Argentina is playing, there is no way I'm going to miss it!" So there I was sitting at the living room watching the game with Daddy and younger brother. Argentina has awesome line up of players and the Nigerian goal keeper was amazing as well! I super love Diego Maradona's son in law Messi when he scored a goal within just few minutes of playing! I ended up watching the match full time. What a victory! :) And since it's also the weekend, I decided to w...

What's the score?

Follow my blog with bloglovin While you were busy eating football, sleeping football, watching World Cup on the television and the list goes on that involves it, I am feeling all neglected and bored! Really? Nay, not a bit! Was on Twitter and Facebook just now, all I can see is status updates of World Cup here and there, this and that. At first, I felt quite ignorant about it. But then, even by not watching the opening and stuff, I am very much updated. Thanks to all the constant tweets! World Cup 2010 just dominated and spammed my Twitter account. Heh! ;D Excuse me, I'm just not in the mood for football now. But who can blame them? The fever has officially started, minus the cough and the flu though. Beware cause it may take awhile. It's going to spread! I remember on the last World Cup in France, I was the one fill with excitement. Days before it started I got the schedules printed out on papers. I even got myself and the family members some jerseys and shorts in a set. I...
