Awesome Everything :)



Germany played a splendid game.

Arne Friedrich
Scored Germany's third goal against Argentina !



I mean, scoring within the first THREE minutes on the field?

Talk about working up a frenzy for fans ! :D


Thomas Muller, 20 yo
His first debut in the World Cup !
I can't find more flattering pictures of him.
But I bet you, after this WC, he'll be a superstar !
First goal for Germany




They totally did not disappoint.

After scoring their first goal, perfect defense all the way.




Bastian Schweinsteiger
He was practically ALL OVER the field !
Left, right, centre !




Second half started off rather weak though. Argentina was on heavy attack mode.

Play was mainly on the Germans' side of the field. Goalkeeper performance was top form ! Good saves the whole time. Awesome defense once again by the Germans.




Gonzales Higuain of opponent Argentina
A definite cutie, but I had literally no time
to drool this time. Germany was too awesome !

Argentinians frantic for an equalizer that had yet to appear. Messi looked utterly frustrated (which is tough to see, what with his "messi" hair and all XD) !


To be fair, there were quite a number of shots (or rather, attempts) by the Argentinians, but they simply could not make a dent in Germany's defense (to my delight !)





Lukas Podolski (Germany)
Great headers ! :D

Germany has some really awesome players, awesome teamwork, awesome everything !

Even (no, especially,) awesome hottie players :D


Miroslav Klose
Great player as well !
Scored TWO out of the four goals
against Argentina. Hebat !





Best match I've watched to date !

But then again, it's the quarter-finals.


GERMANY on to the semis ! :)






p.s: A case of mild football fever perhaps? :P


(I reread my post and I'm so impressed ! I sound like a real bona fide football fan ! :P)

Germany won not because of ball control, they won because of their positioning. They just wait for the keeper to make mistake and usually Klose knows where to grab the ball.

In short words, they stand by and wait for the keeper not to hold on to the ball.

Ah, you're right. I was mistaken. I was thinking of the SECOND goal actually, by Klose. The assist to the assist was by Muller - he was on the ground when he kicked the ball ! Awesome work !!! :D

Corrected. Thanks :)

"To My Parents: I'm Not Your Damn Slave."

Image
I came across this video that not only shocked me, but, strangely, moved me (in a weird kind of way). A fifteen-year-old girl, Hannah, posted on her Facebook wall about how crappy and how unfair her life is, because she has to do school and  chores at home. She shared this with the entire world on Facebook but blocked her parents from seeing it. Unfortunately for her, her dad, Tommy Jordan, runs an IT company for a living, and, well, let's just say her plan failed. @.@ I would like to transcribe (from the video) what Jordan read from his daughter's Facebook wall: "To my parents, I'm not your damn slave. It's not my responsibility to clean up your shit. We have a cleaning lady for a reason--her name is Linda, not Hannah. If you want coffee, get off your ass and make it yourself. If you want a garden, shovel the fertiliser yourself. Don't sit back on your ass and watch me do it. If you walk into the house and get mud all over the floor that I just cle

This Old Man

I grew up with nursery rhymes. I don't remember actually learning them in kindergarten, but give me one line, and I'll be able to tell you the rest. Well, most of it anyway. I guess Tadika Kiddyhouse did a good job in teaching kids their nursery rhymes. (No, no, no understanding needed. Just rote memorization! Good job!) :D I can remember every word to "Hey Diddle Diddle". If you ask me nicely I can sing it for you :) Hey Diddle diddle The cat and the fiddle The cow jumped over the moon The little dog laughed to see such sport And the dish ran away with the spoon. One question though: Have you ever wondered what these children's nursery rhymes mean? We've always accepted the unacceptable in nursery rhymes. How a cat learned to play a fiddle, how a cow can jump over the moon, how a dog can laugh, and how dishes can elope with spoons. But one nursery rhyme that's kinda got me stumped is "This Old Man." This old man, he played one

Z

After staring at the webpage, unblinking, for the past few minutes, it’s now entirely a blur. I blink, and the small box in the corner seemed to dance in front of my eyes, inviting.   I take a deep breath, and release it with a hiss between my teeth. I swallow.  What do I have to lose?   Finally, I click on the box, and it pops up.   Hi, there. I’m Z. What should I call you?   Hi, Z. I’m Celine.   Hi, Celine. How can I help you today?   I pause for a moment, wondering if I should tell this stranger the truth. Something feels like it’s stuck in my throat, and I try desperately to clear it, unsuccessfully.   I’m not ready to talk about it yet. Can we just chat?   Sure, Celine. I understand. We can chat about anything you’d like. Well, how was your day?   My day? It’s been a tough one, that’s for sure. In fact, it’s been a tough week.  I scratch the top of my head, try to untie a knot I discovered in my hair, and give up.   It was okay, I guess. Not so good.   Why’s that?   I have a diffi
