Let's just say, I haven't found the time nor the passion to really sit down on my baby blue armchair and type this thing out. But finally, somehow, today I have. Well, not so much on my baby blue chair.. I started out lounging on my sister's bed till my battery nearly went flat.

November 4th. Does the youth of America realize how important it is to vote? The future -- YOUR future in America is dependent on your vote. I get so peeved when those people are so apathetic about the presidential campaign. One of them told me, "I don't care, either way we'll go into war." I rest my case.

I think Americans need to be grateful for their freedom of speech. Imagine if we had that here in Singapore; it would be catastrophic and prisons would be FILLED. Personally, I feel like Singapore has this hold on me (I'm probably not alone in this, but eh) and there are so many things here which I absolutely detest. They definitely aren't helping me change my mind about wanting to move out (of the country). I've been wondering and pondering over my decision, of course, it's not like I have the monetary privileges to even MAKE a decision, but I'm starting to feel like there isn't anything here to hold me back. Is it because I'm only 19 years old? And I'm at that age where the 'give me freedom or give me death!' stage starts acting up? Now I'm wondering if there will be anything colossally important enough in 2 years' time to change my mind? How long will it be before I actually do get out of here?

In other matters, I don't know what's the status of the who-what-when-where-why-how situation of ours. To be honest, everytime I say I'm sick of it all, you turn around and make me fall all over again. Why? I feel like we're playing a game of tennis; match point, but we're just hitting the tennis ball back and forth. We're not going anywhere and I'm bored, I want to play another sport, I want to win. I'm saying "Shit, I can't deal with this." Seriously, please just give me an answer, straight up. Yes or No.

So what's been on my mind? Not much I guess. I'm glad my Sox are now 1-0 against the Rays. Will we make it to the Finals? Wow, I really hope so.

In other matters, I'm sick, again. My throat is feeling seriously hoarse and sore; my nose keeps leaking mucus.

As I have stated in my previous post, I have been avoiding blogging. It's not just the fact that the Patriots are looking pretty *gag* right now, but I've been swamped with so much random stuff. Let's see, I have been pretty busy with the US Presidential campaign (I love watching CNN just for the sake of it), been busy with school.. and been busy with being alone.



Ouch. I'm sorry Buffalo Bills, I wanted to see you guys got 5-0 too. But then Losman had to pop up behind the bushes and voila! Cardinals' win.



66 Yard touchdown and still looking hot as ever.

Ugh, I know, I haven't updated, I know.
I feel like I've been avoiding blogging; ever since our Fashion Journalism project on Fashion blogs. I've been carefully avoiding this space; it makes me dread next week (read : another Fashion blog post)

I feel so swamped with all these things.
This and that..
On a side note, DO YOU KNOW THAT THEY CUT DANNY AMENDOLA????!!!!
I can't believe this, seriously. That is just earth-shaking, ground-breaking, mind-blowing news. To me, that is. Where is he going to go now? :( I feel so bad for him. At least the Colts still have Silva.
I'll get on to Week 1, but before that.. I just want to say that I have lost probably all respect for Michael Phelps because, what can I say? He's a regular douche. You heard me right.


Oh yayyyy, the million dollars given to him by Speedo are being spent on strip clubs.

Now, let's get down to business.
----------------------------------

I can't say that my whole heart was into Week 1, because if it was, I would've followed the off-season with an eagle eye. Plus, there were so many surprises in Week 1 alone, even long-time football fans were shocked.
Huge surprise of course, is that Brady is out for the season. Yes, I nearly cried during the game. Him, limping off, sorta burned into my brain. WHY??? Damn that Pollard. I was seriously looking forward to an AMAZING season; especially now that Sammy Morris was back in the line-up. I was looking forward to more 40++ - 0 wins. I was looking forward to jaw-dropping touchdowns by Randy Moss. AAAAAAnd, I completely agree with Moss : it looked like dirty play to me.
Horrible, absolutely horrible.



Of course, now that Brady is out, that just means a TOTAL and COMPLETE shift in the whole NFL and AFC East. Now, teams aren't afraid of the Patriots. Instead, they'd be afraid of the Falcons, Bears, Panthers and Jets. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??????
If I told you this last season, you would laugh till tears rolled down your cheeks.
I'm really crossing my fingers in hope that the D will be more pumped up in alieu to Brady's injury : that they can win the Superbowl without Brady. Since, of course, there will be more rushing involved instead of passing. Teams read their passing plays last season. Besides, Cassel's passing is not Brady's passing. Which means, more interceptions and definitely more incompletions. Do you think I'm not giving Cassel enough credit despite winning the game against the Chiefs?
Hmmm, well, I know I definitely expected worse from him during the game, given how he looked like a total and utter fool out there last season. I was surprised to see that he managed to make touchdown passes. Impressive. Still, it's only been Week 1, and Week 2 is already knocking on the door. I can't believe Cassel's starting for Week 2 against the Jets... FAVRE. Oh my goodness, it will be such an amazing game. We have like 75% chance of losing. My gosh, I miss Brady so much. What good will Sammy Morris be?


Ugh, I LOVE THIS GUY.


Still, Moss has my complete heart.

Well, okay, maybe not complete COMPLETE. Chris Paul wants a chunk of it.

----------------------

I miss Hananananna.
TXXXX who?
School is getting crazy, I'm going out of my mind. So yes, in case you're wondering, I'm perfectly sane. :)

WHY WHY WHY WHY is it that when I need something, I can't find it? When I need someone, that person's not around? When I need to go somewhere, but I can't find the place?
This is making me seriously frustrated.
That, and lethargic.

Okay, this is the cue for the birthday song.

....
...
..
.

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes!
Even though I expected some people to wish me.. but they didn't, it's all good.
I'm feeling great! Even the Keeper of hot guys decided to let me into a taste of her version of heaven.
Something unexpected happened to me a couple of days before and I'm really glad. :)

I was reminded of my dislike for the Yankees on a particular Sunday. A baseball cap was all it took. One look at 'it' and the rivalry popped into my head like an alarm : 'OKAY! Yankees fan! Back off!' echoed in my head.
I like being a Boston fan, or a Red Sox fan for that matter. However, I do believe that some Boston fans can get pretty cocky and spineless when it comes to sports discussions. Okay, it's not like I don't believe that my teams are the best, I am just being a sports fan instead of just a Boston fan. Got that? Okay, let me explain.
Being a sports fan means that you like the sports in general. While you may have a specific favorite team, you watch other teams play too, because you LOVE the sport, not the team. Whereas if you're a Boston fan, it just means that you watch Boston teams and Boston games only. No other games. But you think you'll have the right to criticize other teams and make just arguments. :)
Perhaps people (who are not sports fans) would think that sports rivalries are unnecessary and uncouth. As a matter of fact, I believe sports rivalries actually bond people together. Fans stand by one another and even stick up for one another during sports arguments. While one may say that they lead to fights and that they are disruptive, I think fights leading from sports rivalries are a blast! I've yet to witness REAL fights. Verbal fights, yes, but not 'I'm-punching-the-crap-outta-you-cos-you-insulted-my-team' fights. In fact, I'd like to participate in a fight too! Verbal fights please, I doubt I can withstand a single punch.

I know I haven't exactly been pro-active when it comes to blogging recently, and I feel tremendously guilty for that.

I've been down with the common cold for the past few days and my nose is constantly stuffed with a tissue. Fun huh? I had a fever scare after my afternoon nap today too. The fever has gone down, but the tissues remain.

My birthday's coming up in a couple of days, and I was suddenly reminded of my unfinished annual post. I guess turning 19 doesn't really faze me. I think I'm at that stage where birthdays are turning 'meh' to me.

All in all, to sum up my annual post, I think everyone should just give me cash!
Makes things so much easier! :D

I'm very sure this is way overdue. This post, I mean.
I was caught up in the excitement of the ASG and the NBA Championship.
That, and.. I don't know.. I'm not sure anymore.
Oh right, the excitement of THE CALL.
While some people I know might refute that I have been way in over my head about this, I beg to differ. The only thing that I'm way in over my head about is.... HELLBOY!
I'm unable to explain my sudden addiction to Mike Mignola and his creation, Hellboy. Perhaps it was because I watched the first Hellboy movie again recently. I'll have to say, I am extremely fascinated by the comic.
It's different, it's educational (in a world history sense) and Hellboy is one heck of a stud.
I'm looking forward to the sequel for the first movie.. here are some of the posters :





Can I just say that the artist for the third poster is phenomenal?!

However, is it just me or does Hellboy seem.. useless sometimes? I mean, his only saving grace is that 'Right Hand of Doom' of his.

Anyway, it's July, and everyone knows what month it is. The hottest month of the year and the month of my birthday. Not that turning 19 is a huge thing, but I do love birthdays. Why? Presents, of course.
This is the perfect opportunity to make an annual post of the things that I would love to get on my birthday!

AH HAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Believe it or not, most of them are (kinda) cheap!
Anyway, part two tomorrow..

Watching Hancock with my mom tomorrow. And after that.. RED SOX VS YANKEES!!!!!!!!

While this might be --- okay, yes, this is very overdue --- the Boston Celtics are the 2008 NBA Champions!
Yay!!!



The parade was yesterday.. man! It must've been fun.
17th Championship won by the Boston Celtics, on the 17th of June!
Aaaand, #34, Paul Pierce, wins MVP of the finals!



17 + 17 = 34
Anyone superstitious? It's funny how Jeff Van Gundy brushed it off as 'nothing' when Mike Breen asked him about it. 'It means nothing' were his exact words. I'm not sure why that stuck with me.. maybe I believed something else was in store.
While I am extremely happy the Celts won, I'm upset that basketball season is over.
It was my first NBA Playoffs actually, and I feel grateful and glad in a way. If not for Mr Giant, I wouldn't have watched it. To be completely honest, I was really indifferent to basketball before the Playoffs, before March Madness. I thought it was boring, that anyone could do it.. I just didn't get the hype of basketball. Bunch of guys watching basketball.. what's there to see? 4 12-minute quarters, easy fouls, easy shots.. no big deal.. right?
I was wrong.
I think.. if not for Mr Giant, I wouldn't have fallen in love with basketball.
March Madness blew me away (KANSAS!!!!!).
NBA Finals made me nearly hoarse.

What was so cool about the Celtics win was that the Big Three showed up, and not just the starters, the whole bench contributed to that trophy.
Eddie House, POSEY! Man.. Posey was awesome. Glen Davis, PJ Brown, Cassell, Powe, T. Allen..
We did it guys, we did it!!!!

By the third quarter, everyone knew they'd win it. What a way to end the season!

KG, Allen and Pierce have waited too long and played too hard to get it.
YEARS.
You know, I kinda hope they don't get too greedy and start making 'I'm-gonna-get-10-more-championships!' kinda goals.

Doc Rivers. What can I say about that man? His technical fouls make me laugh, and I absolutely love his pep talks, which he uses reverse psychology on them.

Whew. Yeah, I'm excited they won.. it's just.. it feels different. It's not the same as being in the same COUNTRY as the Celts and watching with a bunch of people. I watched the game in the morning, at home, on my laptop. Nothing exciting.

Anyway, in other matters, I passed my second year.. which was expected from my parents.
So I guess I'm looking forward to the start of my third year.. yay.
WAIT.
WAIT.
WAIT.
Oh my gosh.
School starts on August 4th. First pre-season game for the Patriots starts on the 7th.
OH MY GOSH! First kick-off pre-season game starts on the 3rd!!!!!!!!!! At 8pm!!!!!!!!!!
Thankfully though, the real kick-off is on Sept 4th.. grr Giants.

Oh yeahhhh, I'll be watching YOU, mister. NOT the Cowboys.


I'm looking forward towards the next Superbowl at Brewerkz. YEAH BABY! Good times. Albeit Giants.
Beer, guys. What more could you ask for?

In non-sports issues, I think I can't love a man who doesn't love sports. Okay, firstly, which red-blooded male doesn't love sports? It's so .. weird.
I want sports to run through my future kid(s)' blood!
I never had sports when I was younger, and I want my kids to enjoy AMERICAN sports, in the country itself. Not in a place where soccer is almost a religion and ESPN is not a given.
It's not like I don't know how it feels like.. I have another two seasons for NCAA, NBA, NFL and MLB.
That's 4 times 2.
8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is inhumane torture. Get me outta here!!



Isn't this so cute?
I totally loved their Sportscenter 'Three Amigos' commercial. In case you missed it, here it is :




Ray looks like he can't act.. but he was Jesus Shuttleworth!!
Eh.. I'm not sure if you'll be able to watch it. The player looks weird sometimes.
But anyway,

BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!

It's Friday the 13th!! I'm hardly -- okay, slightly, superstitious, but it was a good day. A really, really good day. Celts made a historic comeback from a 24-point deficit to win with 6 points ahead, 97-91.
This is, by far, my favorite video. Let's watch it again.



The Three Amigos strike again! Well, perhaps two, offensively.
Should I do the dance?

I had this really weird dream before I got up for my game, and then another during my nap.
Why am I remembering all this?
Hmm.. maybe God is trying to tell me something..

In other news, there aren't any other news.
Except maybe..
Well, I'm upset about this situation between you guys.. I mean, I've known you both for years, and this happens? I wish things were different, but they are what they are, and I can't change things.

I was watching this Everybody Loves Raymond episode where Ray TORE UP his SUPERBOWL ticket to show Debra how much he cared for her. As you should know, I couldn't bare to watch it to the end. My heart twisted when he tore it up.
Okay, given, I may be different from other girls.. but tearing up the ticket to a LIFETIME event? No way man, no way.
I know guys find it hard to grasp the concept that a girl might be better (knowledge-wise) at sports than him.. that probably explains why I'm still single! Darn!
Just kidding. I'd rather watch Ray Allen in action for 3 hours than go on a date.
I get excited about sports, I love sports. I just wish there was someone I could discuss it with 24/7. And I really mean 24/7.
I'll be the one knocking on your door at 3am, yelling, "DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON VUJACIC'S FACE????"

I don't sleep anyway. I'm an owl. I'm a Vampire.
You know, I can SMELL football season. Ah. Smell that (fake) grass. Smell that sweat. Sniff it all in.
A new season's coming and the Giants won't even be in it.

Fine. Laugh. Go ahead and laugh at my Celtics.
I'll have to say; I'm incredibly disappointed in them. The Lakers obviously looked like the better team out there, offensively. They were playing 30-69 as compared to the Celts, who were playing 29-83. You'd expect Paul Pierce to play an excellent game, considering how LA was his hometown and everything, but he only managed to score 6 points, playing 2-14 ONLY and doing a 0-4 on the paint. It seemed as if only Ray Allen managed to turn up for the game.

One word : Ouch. Watching how Ellsbury sprained his right wrist made me cringe.
Also, what were Manny, Youki and Coco thinking?
I thought it was pretty cool how Coco dodged that blow from Gomes though. I laughed at that. He's an amateur boxer! I hate Crawford and Navarro's cheapshots though. That was LOW.

School is coming soon, work is starting soon.

Btw, Kung Fu Panda made me laugh.
