First off, Manny Pacquiao wins his much-awaited fight against Oscar Larios. Yey, Pacman. I watched the game on TV but I still don't get boxing. Violence is not my thing. But hey, they're both great athletes, Larios even thanked the Filipinos even with his face all bruised and bloodied. So kudos to them!! :)
But while Filipinos are celebrating Pacman's victory, Brazil is mourning it's untimely exit from the World Cup after losing to France in the quarter-finals. I will miss you, Kaka :( England also lost to Portugal and Beckham has stepped down as team captain. Argentina has already long bowed out, so none of the teams I rooted for made it. It's now an all-European line-up in the semis. Howell. Maybe I will root for France. Zidane, even at 34, is definitely a man to reckon with.

Found this in another blog.
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love". ~ Neil Gaiman
Every day, we are all trying to make sense of love. I think we'd all be happier if we all stop with this love nonsense. Hahaha.
We all know I don't mean that, of course.
