What a night. I’m still disappointed about Argentina losing spectacularly to Germany, although to be honest I think I would have been more distraught if it had been a close match. (Say, penalty-shootout close, like how Japan and Ghana went out–that would have hurt bad.) As it was, Germany totally mopped the floor with the Argentinian team. It was horrendous to watch. I don’t understand why Maradona didn’t bring in his more experienced players even as his main men were buckling under the pressure. Of course, esto es agua pasada.

And this doesn’t change the fact that Messi is my favorite, of course. I just like him better in Barça now. LOL

Speaking of which–SPAIN WON! :D David Villa [Villa Villa, Villa Maravilla!!!] again with the only goal of the match, thanks to a GENIUS set up by Andres Iniesta. But this match has me falling ever more in love with Iker Casillas, who was again incredible, you’d think there were two or three of him guarding the goal. He’s got to the best goalkeeper of this tournament.

He also happens to be really good-looking. As a bonus.

So in the end I still have Spain as a reason to keep watching the World Cup. On one last football-related note: I’m amused, David Villa totally looks like the vocalist from this Spanish band I like, El Canto del Loco.

Separated at birth? Same person with variations in facial hair? XD

I’ll try to cut down on the football-related blogging from hereon out.

I kind of can’t stand it when people apologize for something that they said, claiming that they “didn’t mean anything” by it. If you didn’t mean anything, you wouldn’t have said anything.

Related matter:  I’m trimming my online contacts mostly to people I’ve met in real life. I’d thought to do so earlier–although for a somewhat different reason–and I’ve been told that it’s better this way anyhow. All I can say is: HURF DURF.

I think I might have an ulcer coming on. I hope not, but I wouldn’t be too surprised either–my sleeping habits have been horrid and consequently my eating habits too, for instance I stay up so late that I end up sleeping through breakfast. Or worse, I stay up all night, have breakfast then wade drowsily back into my room by 10AM then sleep through lunch and snacktime, waking up at 4PM feeling dehydrated. I know I need to make a serious commitment to change this, because at this rate I’ll be having serious memory gaps by the time I’m 30.  -_-;

I  should have to AM GOING TO make a few things happen this week.

Over a week without updates. Lazy blogger, tsk.

Anyway, this should explain part of it:

It's safe to say that I like Lionel Messi.

LOL hooray for replicas. :D The Barça jersey fits ok but the Argentina ones are big for me so I might get them altered–maybe. The white Messi t-shirt was the first Adidas anything I’d ever bought for myself. It’s really comfortable–so comfortable that I didn’t hesitate to buy

:D It was finally back in stock (in small) a couple of days ago, just in time for the Spain vs. Portgual match, which I watched with bated breath, literally.

And while ambling randomly around Landmark I found this adorable keychain–and it was just Php15!!! I was floored when I saw the price. :D

Cesc Fabregas isn’t my favorite or anything (although he is handsome LOL) but they only had one kind for each country, and only three or four countries, no Argentina. (Similar frustration: they had football-shaped keychains with club emblems, but no Barcelona. Pfft.) Anyway, at least Fabregas is #10.

Last night I was trying to fall asleep when I realized that I’d memorized Spain’s tactical lineup, LOLWUT. And with David Villa playing for Barcelona next season I think I’ll be watching club football after the WC. Messi and Villa in the same team OMG.

My top five: Messi, David Villa, Iker Casillas (who was ridiculously good in that last match), Xavi, and Kaká. I’d go, “Who’s yours?” but I think most of my readers aren’t into football. (Prove me wrong? Gwahahahaha.)

I’ve been really scatterbrained lately–yes, even more than usual. Between the World Cup and a blasted writer’s block that’s been grinding me down for the past two years weeks, I haven’t gotten much sleep. But it’s nothing the usual caffeine jolt can’t fix–although I’m getting ventis now, which worries me a bit *shakes*– so as long as I have enough caffeine in my bloodstream I’M FINE. :D Right? Right? *palpitates* WHO ARE YOU CALLING JITTERY?

Joke going around on Twitter:

Cristiano Ronaldo : Dios me envio a la tierra para enseñar a jugar futbol.  (God sent me to earth to show people how to play football.)
Messi: Yo nunca envié a nadie.  (I never sent anyone.)
