All I Want for Christmas is You – Olivia Olson

Because I don’t think I would be able to go online on the 25th, let me greet you now. HAPPY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!

Er… Uhmm… my Jewish friends not included, of course. Hehe. To all my Jewish friends, good afternoon! ;)

Off to Batangas now. I’ll be celebrating Christmas (or Yoshmas, again for my Jewish friends) there. Also, my work requires me to stay in Batangas until February 13, cos the English camp I’m heading will be in Matabungkay. So, I guess I’ll just see you all on Valentine’s Day next year. Seriously.

Bye, everyone. And Merry Christmas. :)

JOACHIM LÖW, I’m Sooo Gonna Marry You

Posted on by Yoshke in Blurts, Euphoria, Sports |

Status: 13-0! 13-0! 13-0!
Music: If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight - Nikki Gil

Who is Joachim Löw, you ask? He is the new German National Football Team coach. He replaced the most animated coach in the recent World Cup Jürgen Klinsmann. And why wouldn’t I want to marry this guy? My God! A very impressive 13-0 win against San Marino. Again, 13-0! One more time, 13-0! That’s a record in European history!!! Four Podolski goals, and a couple each from Klose and Schweinsteiger. Wooh! And my points in Fantasy Football League is going up, up, up! Time to celebrate. Go Euro 2008! Go Deutschland! I’m gonna have my breakfast at Schwarzwalder or Treffpunkt Jedermann (German restaurants in Makati) tomorrow!!! That is, if I wake up early.

But I am a little sad because although David Villa managed to score two goals in their Euro2008 qualifying match against Northern Ireland (the hell, of all teams, why lose to Northern Ireland?), it was still not enough to send Spain to triumph. Northern Ireland 3-2 Spain. Tsk, tsk.

And oh, congrats to Team England. Go, go, go Terry and Gerrard! And yeah, because Zenedine Zidane already retired, my top three teams are: (1) Germany, (2) Spain and (3) England. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

13-0! 13-0! 13-0! I just can’t get over it.

Two Happy Goals and a Red Ticket

Posted on by Yoshke in Euphoria, Sports |

A GOAL THAT SAID IT ALL

Forgive me for being so into goals and stadia. I just can’t get enough of football these days. And so, I have changed my blog’s colour theme to match my favourite football team. And I will not stop talking about it until the World Cup is over. GO GERMANY!!!

When Juergen Klinsmann announced that he had chosen Jens Lehmann as his No. 1 player (No. 1, as in default goalkeeper), I was one of the many who protested. World-class goalie Oliver Kahn has already proven himself so many times and all of a sudden, the coach chose another man for the very crucial job. After Germany’s debut match with Costa Rica, where Lehmann conceded two goals, I felt uneasy. I was thinking that the coach indeed made a very bad decision. And then the next matches came and Lehmann proved me wrong. He is not just good, but arguably the best goalie in this tournament.
