Crazy Over the Cup Again | 2010 FIFA World Cup – South Africa
Only three things make me cry — love, death and World Cup.

Haha, seriously. I remember myself crying like a baby on the way home from Ateneo when Germany lost to Italy in the semi-final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. I also almost fell into depression when they almost became the European champions in 2008, being beaten only by Spain at the finals.
The problem is that I am sooo emotionally attached to my favorite teams (Germany and Spain, but more for Germany). I invest emotions. I spend so much time following them. It’s more obsession than love, really. I feel like I’m part of the team. So when they lose, I crumble. It doesn’t help that they almost always are so close to championshop only to be defeated in the last few minutes.
I haven’t had a decent sleep for almost a week now, trying to be updated with all the World Cup happenings. Last weekend, I spent most of my time watching matches and their repeats. I just can’t get enough. Most of my tweets recently are also about World Cup. Here are some of them:
- yoshke: Steven Gerrard is looove! #worldcup

As early as now, I’d like to apologize to those non-lovers of football who visit this blog regularly as I’d be blogging about the 2010 FIFA World Cup (South Africa) in the next few weeks. I may not look like a sport enthusiast but I love football as much as I love myself. (And dude, you have no idea how big my love for myself is, LOL.)
With all these huge upsets, I’m now waiting for ITALY to f*ck up in their match against NEW ZEALAND and my World Cup Group Round experience would be complete. Can’t wait. NYAHAHAHA. Go Deutschland!

ABOUT YOSHKE
On May 31, 1985, tragedy struck when 41 tornadoes hit Canada and the US, leaving 76 people dead. At the same time, a doomed couple in the Philippines were having the best orgasms of their lives. Nine months (280 days) later, a healthy baby boy was brought into this world by normal delivery. That was exactly a week before Microsoft had its initial public offering.
Today, Yoshke Dimen resides independently in Mandaluyong City. He got a degree in Film from an overrated university in Diliman but is now pursuing a career in Social Media.
