All at once

ay, i forgot to write a passport. Oh my :|

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Scared is good because it means you have something to lose.

Very very sad news. Liverpool lost with an aggregate of 7-5. It was an awesome game though. I mean, I don't really care THAT much anymore because i had fun watching the game and it was uber fantastic! Liverpool dominated during the first half and Chelsea on the second half. oh yeah second leg result 4-4. Liverpool lost coz Chelsea scored 3 during the first leg. I want a replay!!!
Both captains didn't play. Terry due to the yellow card he got during the first leg and Gerrard because of his injury (he was so cute just sitting there and watching the game haha). Carragher and Lampard (i'm starting to really like him even if he's in chelsea and even if he scored last minute which made them win the game) were captains during the 2nd leg.

Highlights of the game: first half - Aurelio scores (0-1) coz of the free kick, Ivanovic cautioned by ref. with a yellow card (his expression pa was so funny when he said "me?!"), Alonso goals (0-2) from the penalty shot, Benayoun's fouls and yellow card, Anelka in Kalou out. Liverpool had a higher % of ball possession. Second half - (I thought Liv was gonna win na but...) Drogba scores unexpectedly followed by Alex's free kick (2-2), Carvalho was booked/yellow card, A. Cole cautioned by ref., Reira in Mascherano out, Arbeloa shown a yellow card, a goal by Lampard (3-2), N'Gog in Torres out, a fantastic goal by lucas immediately followed by Kuyt (3-4), Babel in Arbeloa out, Lampard scored last minute - draw (4-4), Ref. added 3 minutes to the game which was kinda, wasted because Skrtel fouled and the sub by chelsea - di santo in drogba out - took so much time and there was..uhh 3o seconds left.

When lampard scored i thought it was over for liverpool but then lucas and kuyt scored which taught me a lesson. You don't really just give up hope, you can't just drop it and walk out of the game, if there's time there's still that little bit of a chance that you can win and if you don't it's okay because you know that you gave your best :)
Liverpool had 29 fouls in total and 14 for chelsea. wow :))
I voted for Xabi Alonso as man of the match but i think it's gonna be lampard haha. :)

I was jumping while watching the game. intense kay?!
MOST AWESOME, FREAKINGLY SUPERB GAME IVE EVER WATCHED IN CL!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know what happened between bayern and barcelona but i know that Bercelona won with an aggregate of 5-1.

I'm rooting for Manchester united in the semi finals so they can beat chelsea (well, im not sure yet if they're gonna win against Porto but yeah, if ever). But not in the premier league since liverpool is still there!!!

Yang: "You are flirting with cardio, I am married to Cardio"

I haven't been going online so I freakin' miss my blog and ym and plurk and twitter and facebook. :( *sigh* BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY OK! HAHA coz i've been spending time with my cousins :) I super miss them.

Oh yeah, FYI liverpool won against Blackburn 4-0. yehey! Torres scored two and the other two goals from ngog and Agger. They're supposed to be on top but then Manu won their 2nd game this week which makes them...number 1, again. LFC is behind by just one point so that's ok, there are more games to win hahaha. I'm so pissed off because I wasn't able to watch the game and there's no replay in espn grrrr :((

The blog title..well. i just love that quote of Christina Yang from Grey's hahah. Someday i will be a cardiothoracic surgeon!!!

The reds lost ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

bloody hell. I'm really frustrated. The goal by Torres at 6' really fired me up so i thought they were gonna win. But noooooooooooooo.....:((

The score is Liverpool 1-3 Chelsea...That's not really good. Seriously, what happened? I didn't even feel Gerrard the whole game. The subs didn't work, the magic of Benayoun didn't work :(( Oh well, I still love liverpool no matter what. It was still an awesome game! Liverpool dominated the first few minutes of the second half. Kuyt, Reira and Torres were really good and that save by Carragher was woah! I really hope they win the second leg :) I think that Lampard, Drogba and Ivanovic of Chelsea played really well. OH my! yes, Chelsea has no captain next leg due to the yellow card he got from today's game, so I think they should take advantage of that.

Barcelona 4-0 Bayern. saaaaaad :| Messi was just really awesome and he almost scored a hat-trick. I miss Argentina, haha.

Torres and Essien, i think :)

Fernando Torres scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Celebrates with Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard

Captains :D

Torres and Gerrard look dejected and miserable after the game :(

Bayern's goalkeeper injured :(

Messi is the awesomest! :D

Passport #2

Hello reader :)

Here's another passport because it's Wednesday. Honestly, I almost forgot about this :P Summer has been very uninteresting. Now i know that boredom really kills you, gosh, you have no idea how crazy I am already. I'm just really happy that I have my football addiction to keep me sane and the company of my cousins.

I jogged this morning in manila memorial park. It's a cemetery but people really go there for jogging purposes as well, haha. So don't be weirded out or something. But then it rained a bit so we had to stop and find shelter in one of the 'houses of the dead'..haha guess what, we found shelter in Ninoy Aquino's tomb. astigerz! haha.

You know what I hate about memorial park or cemeteries like that? The tombs are so grand, I mean they're like houses. Some even have ac and restrooms which i find really unfair. A lot of families in the country are dying because they don't have houses to live in yet you see these dead bodies placed in structures, houses...whatever you call it that are even better compared to the houses of people who are actually...alive :| I Know that we have to respect the dead, but really...having those kind of structures built for them is exagge.

the world is unfair...so don't expect her to be fair to you.

I think it's just really giving your best in everything...everything that's good and life-giving. I guess everything will be okay because at the end of the day even if you're dead tired you can still smile at the world coz you've made people happy.

Coz I'm turning into a football freak

Fulham 0-1 Liverpool

"Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez looked like becoming the latest Big Four manager to fall to the curse of the Cottage.

Then up popped substitute Yossi Benayoun, four minutes into injury time, to smash a right-foot shot past Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer to send Liverpool the top of the Premier League."

(http://espnstar.com/football/premier-league/news/detail/item237984/The-BPL-Saturday-Review/)

I stayed up til 3am last night watching the game in star sports. At first I thought Liverpool could easily goal against fulham but i was so wrong. Last 20 minutes of the game I was already losing hope but thanks to the sub Benayoun who made a goal during stoppage time, liverpool was able to win. Dossena and Dirk Kuyt were replaced by Babel and Benayoun during the last 20 minutes of the game. I thought that was a wrong move by Benitez because Dossena and Kuyt are really good players but the goal made at stoppage-time showed that it was a wise decision. :)
Liverpool's game was really superb! They were just all pumped up and ready to win. Torres, Alonso, Dossena all hit the bar during the first half. They deserved it since they dominated the game :).
They're now on top of the premier league and let's hope they stay there. :) Aston Villa, please win :)

Can't wait for FIFA World Cup 2010

OOOHHYEAAAHHHH!!! Because i have nothing better to do here at home. All I've been doing is reading news about FIFA 2010 qualifiers. Spain, Paraguay, Australia, South Korea, and England can start looking at flights to South Africa (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/worldcup/5093244/World-Cup-2010-Five-teams-who-can-start-looking-at-flights-to-South-Africa.html). I really hope Spain wins the 2010 World Cup. :P.

Spain's players at Madrid during their game against Turkey.

Btw, what's happening to Argentina? their last game in La Paz is really woah, shocking. They only had one goal and Bolivia had 6. This game sorta reminds me of Argentina's (6) game against Serbia and Montenegro (0) during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. I was rooting for Argentina last world cup but they didn't make it coz they lost against Germany :(

Introduction to Passports

During the the last english class I promised myself to continue writing passports. FYI, in english class, a passport is not a document used for the purpose of international travel but rather a document written on a 4x6 index card where we (the seniors of AC) write about anything we want to share to the teacher. I'm actually not sure why they're called passports...all i know is that when a student doesn't have a passport, she can't participate in class or she's sent out of the AV1 plus get 'sermoned' at.

My passports really helped me to just keep going, not to lose hope and live life.

Most of my entries were about stress, all my emo-ness, and i vent out too. What i really love about the passport is that the comments of my teacher just magically turns everything into the right place. You know how you feel very negative about yourself and then you read a piece of paper saying that 'it's ok' or 'good job!' then suddenly you feel like the whole world is smiling at you? Well, that's how i feel when i read the comments. They're like affirmations and affirmations save people :)

So from now on, every wednesday i will write a passport (which can be read by the whold world! :)) haha.) Comments are soo welcome! :)
