World Cup Craze
Every four years I transform myself into a soccer fan trying to catch the World Cup games at the most inconvenient times (I never seemed to be at the same time zone of the World Cup host countries). I don’t usually watch soccer games, and it must be more than a year since I stopped […]

Movies and Dreams
After the exhausting craft fair on the Sept. 10th weekend, I thought about going on a short vacation to re-energize myself before getting busy again for the new Fall “co-op term”, but abandoned the idea as I don’t know how to justify the cost of going alone and without a purpose. Did a brief stay-cation […]

Fuzzy Head
Caught a minor cold/flu with a runny nose, clogged ear, and fuzzy head. Couldn’t quite put myself to work with this state of mind, took it easy today and watched some Olympics badminton and continued my reading of Jimmy SPA’s illustrative books. <<Beautiful Solitude>>, another imaginative book by Jimmy SPA. There were a few occasions in […]

Sick Day
Woke up with a minor sore throat and light fever, decided to take a day off and rest at home. I can’t remember the last time I spent the afternoon at home on a weekday. Managed to read the entire book of Ezra and prepare the ppt for tomorrow’s fellowship while taking a few naps […]

Soccer
The black rain had come and gone quickly in the late morning, it was a blessing that I could play soccer in the evening without the slightest hint of rain. The last time I played the sport was back in September, if not earlier. It felt good to be back on the field playing with […]

Tired
Woke up feeling especially exhausted this morning, probably due to the soccer game under heavy rain and then coding pass 3am last night. Sent out my weekly work progress update in the afternoon. My friend seemed particularly impatient and ill-tempered over the phone despite what I considered a hardworking and productive week. Now I hope […]

World Cup
Like many others, I carried out my activities a bit like a zombie today. The finale of the World Cup was ended by an awesome goal by Germany, beating Argentina 1:0 near the end of the extended period. It was an exciting match, but I kind of thought that Messi hadn’t put his 100 + […]

World Cup
Suffered an emotional low when my favorite team Brazil got a humiliating (and historic) 7:1 lost a couple of days ago. A game that’s supposed to bring joy and peace to people resulted in buckets of tears instead. I prayed there wouldn’t be a riot. When Argentina played Netherlands in the semi-final this morning, I […]

Soccer
Played a little soccer tonight. The weather was hot, humid, and windless, so it seemed more tiring than usual to run on the field. But it was good to break some sweat, the game also seemed more enjoyable because of the eminent World Cup fever.
